[284] 05/07/2024 Tuesday. Papers Boxes. CRISIS INC offices. Ridgewood, New York. Money! What the hell? My problem with money is that I need more of it, like all the time. Yesterday I took Junior Mint to once again get the fucking brakes replaced and this time, because it was in Brooklyn, where the hourly rate for mechanics is $150 and hour, it cost me $1,007 fucking dollars. Which I only did because I bought those $800 tires back at Easter. Which I only did because the damn car only has 180,000 miles on it. And, you know, I need it for work sometimes. Not only that but last time I drove back from Troy I noticed a squeaking noise coming from the front right tire so I thought I needed new brakes, but guess what? The squeaking noise is still there so I have that going for me. Not to mention that yesterday I spent $20 on passport photos because I need to renew my passport and when I tried to staple the photo to the application the only stapler in the apartment was Professor Curlys shorty which only shoots staples an inch into a paper because she is a maniac so I had to go to the pharmacy and spend another $20 on a new stapler that would actually do the job and not only that, when I went online to have my bank send me a check for the passport fee it turns out that they have a new policy where they don't mail checks anymore, they only do electric things so I had to buy 100 checks for $25 which would be fine, except I have only sent nine checks in the last four fucking years so what the hell am I going to do with a million extra checks? Does anyone want some money so I can use them up? Just joking! I don't have any fucking money because I spent it all on brakes and staplers! Also, I spent $30 dollars express mailing some hair to Vermont, $9 on rabbit pellets, later I went back to the grocery store and spent $16 on chicken breast [yuck], tortillas and a yellow onion. I feel like there were some other things too. Yesterday was lousy for money. Oh, right, I bought some corporate Ticklers because my artisanal supply ran out, I bought some steak to makes tacos [yum] because I made a special hot sauce [double yum], cilantro and a white onion.
Hooray for finishing the adventure novel!
