I've been having anxiety dreams about the stock market lately. But they're usually the opposite of anxiety dreams. Where I look at my balance and it has shot through the roof.
Here's a purely hypothetical situation. You get a voicemail at night from a number you don't recognize. You start listening and it's your boss. You go mental for a minute, and then realize he was just asking for your help because his DVR broke and didn't record LOST, and his wife, who is a huge fan, is devastated.. You use your skills, and burn him a DVD of it, to great acclaim. Purely hypothetical.
The Kroger around me used to be 24 hours, but then it switched to opening at 6am, which means I can't go in and get morning snacks like I used to. At first I thought it was bad, but it actually has made me eat a lot less and save money.
I am adoring the new album by The National - High Violet. I had the leak, but it was shit quality, and plus I like supporting bands I like with my money, so I bought it when it first came out Tuesday. Alligator and Boxer are classics (both made the top 250 records of the 2000s) and this one follows suit. Critics agree, and it's currently way up high in the top sellers in pretty much every country on iTunes, so I appreciate that.
Gotta finally get that suit sorted out this weekend. I get scared because I'm easily suckered by salesman. They'll probably talk me into something velvet and laced with gold.
They make me change my internet password every 90 days at work and I just change one symbol everytime. I've worked my way past the numbers row now.
I haven't been getting angry lately. And usually, it's when I'm angry that I'm working at my best, but I've replaced anger with a sort of happy-go-lucky determination. This project winding down and getting a free trip to NY have lightened my mood.
I just realized that there's about a 5% change of me logging into facebook and being pleased by anything I see on the newsfeed. Okay, and I just realized that gets me angry.
While you're investing in houses and marriages and kids, my money is being gambled (read: invested) in the stock market.
I almost considered investing on margin today, but thought better of it.
