Shopping
Do you know I shudder to think of the amount of money i have waisted on absolute crap. My gym membership for one, when i never bloody go. I need to remedy that either start going or stop the membership. Clothes as well, granted my mother has bought a lot of clothes for me over the years, but clothes and shoes - an 80 dollar pair got eaten by dogs, clothes i throw out simply because I don't like the, My hockey gear. My bar fridge that dad has - true I can use it again sometime...money i have also waisted on cars in the past with services and stuff. Junk food and alcohol.....
I lost a months salary thanks to what happened in Japan - rent, cancelling my phone, bills, settling in and buying electical goods such as an iron and cd player and a new bike. I also spend exorbitant amounts on broadband for the internet.....I have thrown out old kids toys I no longer wanted and nick nacks when my stuff got packed away. Lost a shit load of uni and personal leisure books in a flood.
My holidays and travel (not that that is a waist, but it can get expensive).
Sorry grumbling today because I had to go pay rent and also needed to buy some tracksuit pants, which wouldn't have been necessary if I had kept the black pair I bought a year or so ago and have NEVER worn instead of throwing them out. I am more a jeans girl and have been getting away with some tracksuit material bottoms I bought in Japan until now. But the Japan ones whilst cotton and plain grey are a little more like winter pyjama bottoms and I don't feel comfortable wearing them to the gym when I go. I usually wear shorts and as it is Winter I need some tracksuit pants. I also needed to buy a charger for batteries for my digital camera because I am sick of paying for the lithium batteries. and the existing charger is for Japan.
It isn't the end of the world NOW, because I am earning pretty good money for what I do. It may not seem it but it is an important job. You realise that when you get more responsibilities. Resetting a password is not just a simple button click there is a lot more to it.
Fraud, browser settings, identifying people, making sure details are recorded accurately...etc etc etc. It can get repetetive though which is the downside, but I like the team and they seem happy enough with me.
I suppose i need to accept i do have a little anxiety when it comes to work but that partly generates from what happened in Japan last time.
On the other side I have accumulated things that I will be able to use when I get a place of my own. I normally don't think about how much money i spend i just make sure I am comfortable and happy. I have never really considered myself materialistic....I don't intend to come across like it if I am.
Ok enough from me for now. I need to get back to packing for Sydney trip.
