from hard rock to versatality

this coming friday, forced to go bowling with company. have to pay $8 some more. after work some more. at marina some more.
things work like this. we always have something to complain about. but i believe i've learnt something from this. leadership skills perhaps. our department has come up with a new policy. not a good move i must say. the new policy says for every 5 minutes you are late, you are fined 50cents. i'm not that worried since i'm always early but when something like that comes from someone who is not always early, it's a bad move. lost of respect.
then another higher authority frequently walks around and talks to people when he has nothing to do, which he appears to be most of the time. when a colleague stops for a brief moment to do something else, he calls across the room asking her to get back to work. bad move. lost of respect again.
the company policy says 'no slouching while at work'. reasonable policy but when a fellow colleague slouched at her seat, the wallaby kicked her chair so hard, she nearly fell off. bad move. lost of respect.
anyway, i'm more concerned about when i'm stopping work. on one hand, i wanna earn more. on the other, i wanna rest earlier. besides, cors bidding starts on 31st july. i wouldn't want anything to go wrong while i'm at work so i guess it's best to stop work on the 31st.
i've kinda decided to switch my ibanez for a fender. i've been talking about getting a new guitar for some time but i haven't done anything. mainly because i have no money but when i have it, i'd rather save it for something else. like now. i'm hesitant on getting the fender because it feels good to have cash in your account. i'm kinda sick of struggling to get by. the kind of life back in army.
but i guess i'll just spend the freelance project money which adds up to $600, plus the additional cash for my jul-aug work which adds up to $288 which would be more than enough for the strat. and hopefully the assignment work receipts get found. at least i'll get back like $110 the next month. if not, i'll only be paid like a miserable $50. not to forget, if i manage to sell my ibanez, i might get around $150-200. but even if the receipts really got lost, i guess i can't do much about it. things happen for a reason.
'cause god doesn't play dice...
