And blessings be also upon the head of Rosy, who has talked me through a business problem. It’s nice when Accounting offers to call you to confirm that your cheque has been written and mailed out. I won’t get it before Christmas — not that it matters overmuch now, as it’s too late to use it for clearing the credit card in order to do the on-line shopping that needed to be done a week ago — but if all goes well I should at least have it in time for next month’s rent.
If there’s something I hate more than worrying about money, it’s worrying about money when both HRH and I are theoretically working — money I should already have, and don’t. It throws the budget way, way out of whack.
Blessings mean so much to me! thank you — I am glad I could be of some help.
Testify! There’s a world of difference between my “Payments Due” spreadsheet and my bank balance.
In an e-mail to me yesterday, Rosy remarked: ‘This makes me so mad. You don’t know how many times I have told some 20-something project manager, “Can you imagine if someone made you wait a few months for your paycheck?” On more than a few occasions the person was shocked — as if it never occurred to them.’ And I’m sure it doesn’t. Our invoices may be small compared to others, but every penny is worth something to us.
Rosy: Blessings should be bestowed as often as possible, no? What this world needs is more blessing.
