I love paying my bills!

And watching all my balances going down. Yes! YES! My goal is to be debt free and I am really working on my spending behavior and all that. I don't shop as a hobby anymore and I know I can really work on more daily habits to cut my spending. But it is a start, a real start.

But step by step to get out of debt. And now, I see that it is working! The balances go down, down, down. Yippee!

In other news - this week was exhausting and I don't feel like I got my head above water. I also felt caught up in minutiae and administratia and not really maximizing my potential. Sometimes that is a matter of getting dumped on by people on my team and part of it is hold overs from what I have always done and the way people view me there. I almost feel like I might have to make a move to get to do professional level work. I have to think about that and really see if I am in the right place. This does not go outside the blog sphere and do not mention it on facebook. Too many work people on there. Keep it secret and safe, folks. I am thinking out loud here on my journal.

Anyways, I am looking forward to the weekend. I am going to see Red Dawn tomorrow and I don't care that it got bad reviews; don't care that it might suck. That is what I want to see. I want eye candy and a thin plot. I don't really want to think and we are in pre-Oscars intellectual movie season. Everything is so deep and meaningful - Life of Pi, Lincoln, Anna Karenina - just give me a movie I don't have to think about! I am brain dead, I suppose.

So that is all I have. Have a good weekend. We have rain for the next millenium here in the Bay Area. Yeah.

New LJ posting thing...

So I am posting this on LJ only as this pertains only to this site. The new posting screen they have implemented is really slow and gets hung up. The icon selector function does not work very well. I much prefer the drop down menu by title to the image preview. I cannot actually get the preview thing to work and it is slowwwwww here. I don't know about the rest of it as I have not tried the formatting stuff. I don't mind that they moved where things are but I really would like this to work as it is designed. I felt compelled to post about this. Once again, LJ is thinking of us.

Yep, I cannot actually select an icon. The thing turns and turns but won't let me. LJ you totally suck.
