I didn't check my roster this week for my start time, so headed into town for an 8am start, even though I knew it was something more like 8.30 - just would have rather been early than late. And I got to the office and looked at my roster and I had miscalculated by an hour. Wonderful, I could have slept in later...
So I had a relaxed cooked breakfast at one of the Coffee Clubs in town - mmm, sausages, eggs and toast, as well as finally getting around to checking my current debt levels. I have been paying it off bit by bit for hmm about ten months now, but had never really figured out what the exact current amount was - now I know if I pay $x a week, I could get it paid off this time in six, nine or twelve months.
Tried to stay out of the heat as much as possible, but by the time I got back to the office I was pretty hot and bothered. Was a very quiet day at work, and the bosses were asking if anyone wanted to take leave over the next couple of days - I jumped at the chance, so basically have five days off now, yay :)
I actually wandered into that newish comic place at the local shops this afternoon - now I do feel somewhat like Jerry Seinfeld frequenting that Indian place across the road from his apartment. But I bought my first 2000AD in like years - even when I was in Wellington I only browsed them rather than actually buying them. And talk about your inflation, sixteen years ago when I started buying 2000AD, it was $1.40, the latest one was $8.20 eek.
And don't even get me started on the $22.95 price tag for the Judge Dredd Megazine - pay day is tomorrow so was unable to buy it today. But I will - just for a couple weeks/months maybe.
I had about hmm I can't remember an exact count but LOTS of those comics about ten years ago - before I went travelling. And they all got sold off to the second hand book store - this was of course before eBay made it OK to sell a collection off piece by piece...
I will NOT get up another huge collection - the house is filling up with old Economists as it is...
Famous last words though :)
