Best-laid plans, etc.

A quick glance at my bank balance has convinced me that I should wait until tomorrow to do my grocery shopping. Anytime that tax refund wants to come would be fine by me. :P

I am discovering that my world is smaller than I thought. Turns out luvenditti also knows Aaron, my trainer, from when the MSTC comes to her school every year. Very small world.

I went to the dentist this morning, and am still partially frozen. This is not helping my mood.

What I really want this morning is to go back to bed. In fact, I may have a nap before going to work. My trip to the dentists interrupted some very nice dreams about exploring ancient ruins and picnics with friends. I remember driving in a big pick-up truck with bodhifox, among other things. Turns out he's a pretty reckless driver. ;)

A request for a quick lesson in accounting

Dear flist,

This is Phnee admitting (another) major shortcoming. I would like to learn to use an accounting ledger properly, so that I can set up a proper paper-based accounting system for my home. I want to stay on top of my finances better than I currently am.

I am happy to barter for an hour of someone's time (I don't think it'll take much more than that: I'm a quick study, and I don't need to know much more than the basics), by cooking you dinner or something. Or else if you happen to be a professional I will pay your going rate.

Any takers?

Environment vs human impact

So it turns out that the mercury in those new-fangled lightbulbs is causing major health problems for the workers producing them.

I already knew that there were disposal issues with the bulbs because of the mercury content, but now there's an extra ethical dimension to it. I'm not sure which outweighs the other, or if I can even think of it in those terms.

First post

I feel like I'm betraying LJ just by being here. I guess it's my lawful-good personality and my "loyal" hindrance (to mix & match roleplaying genres) playing up.

Mostly I did this to snag my username just in case. I don't really have any intentions of giving up my cushy permanent account at LJ, which paid for itself in 2006.

Also, a good number of my friends seem to be poised to bolt here, so I figured it might not be a bad idea to create an account in order to keep up with them. :)

I feel like I'm cheating on LJ...

Okay, I caved and made a Dreamwidth Account, same username.

I'm at work, so no fancy stuff yet, and I highly doubt that I'll be leaving behind my cushy permanent LJ account with my nearly 200 free icons and such. Still, if people do bail on LJ it'll be a good way to keep in touch.

Feel free to add me, if you're in the vicinity. :)
