What a confusing couple of hours! I was checking our main credit card's last statement to try and see when the next period closes, and I noticed our interest rate on purchases is 0%. I called customer service to make sure that was the case; yep! We're apparently in an introductory period and there's 0% interest until Oct. 31. This means we can make minimum payments for the next few months without incurring interest. Woo hoo! Oh, and looking at my budget I realized that since we put off haircuts for a week, our December appointment will be moved to January. I'm counting that as an $80 surplus (which I'm sure will be eaten up by something, but at least I have it)!

Then I got my carshare invoice and was shocked to see we were charged $55 for miles when we took it for a day trip a few weeks ago. I thought mileage was unlimited when you had a 24-hour reservation, but I checked the site and you only get the first 100 miles free! Darn. We'd paid for the initial rental out of spending money, but I'm going to try and cover this extra charge with our carshare line item. We'd already used up our July budget, so this wiped out most of August's. We're going to have to try and minimize carshare usage for the next couple months. We already have at least 2 trips planned, and the weddings and showers will probably require a few too. So we'll just have to try and use the bus/bike whenever possible, but some of the trips may be out of range of anything but carshare. Darn.

Then my boss comes by and says he wants me to talk to him tomorrow. I hate when you can't tell if it's good or bad, but my hope (and strong suspicion) is that he's going to give me a writing assignment or discuss the transition further. Fingers crossed! If it's something bad, it can't be terrible or he would have just confronted me right there, probably, so I'm not too worried.

Then my old boss came by randomly and said he's going to try and get me an office with a door! At first I thought I'd get a window office but it sounds like it'll be one of the interior ones. Still, a door! Awesome!

    Sometimes *some* Enterprise rentals run a $9.99/day deal. So that might be an option. I think it is 100 miles per day, but renting it for two days means 200 miles for $20.

    I HATE when someone says I need to talk to you - but later.. I think 99% of the time it is somthing benign.

    Heh, heh! A door! Sweet! I remember my cubicle days well.

    In my current space I have a door and a window, but I was downsized from a bigger office with a door and TWO windows, which was a little disappointing. But I do have a better view!
