I'm waiting for my man..

Well, I'm waiting for my money anyway. My pay is three days late. I wonder if my boss realises how day to day all her employees live their lives, therefore knows that paying them three days late will bring a virtual halt to them. I have 50 cents and I need toothpaste, shampoo, the book for my bookclub and a new pair of jeans. It's not very often I actually feel like going shopping, but today I do. I need to run with this and consume consume consume! But alas, I am forced to sit in front of my computer and try to remember why money isn't important.

REASONS WHY MONEY ISN'T IMPORTANT:

1. Money will not compel someone give you a hug when you really need one but don't want to ask.

2. You can't eat money... well, you can but the nutritional content is very low and it tastes like crap anyway.

3. No amount of money will ever make you laugh... in fact the less money I have the more I seem to laugh.

4. Money is very flimsy and can not be used to build shelter... although a few 50 cent coins can do wonders levellling a wobbly table.

5. The more you think about money being important, the less you actually do important things.

6. When you don't have money, you have to be more creative. Who says Broadway is more exciting than a really good shadow puppet show by candlelight?

7. Money is not important because it is a means to an end. It is nothing.


Aaaah, I feel so much better now. Calm, cleansed of my consumeristic desires, at peace with the world.
