Balance

Life is all about balance...case in point:

Good: My promotion kicked in yesterday. I've worked very hard over the past 9 months, bringing innovation into a department that was rather static. The bosses have been impressed...even the legal department gave us a pat on the back today for one of our new procedures. I'm now doing pretty well income-wise, having doubled it in just over a year.

Bad: My wonderful little car blew its head gasket sometime over the weekend. $900-1200 to fix. We're still recovering from 2 years of little income. We can't afford a new car right now, but I can afford to fix the car--in April. Did I mention that my registration for it is due next month? Oh, and though I am an hourly employee, they just cut overtime--no OT unless approved.

Fuck...
