Haircut
I could really use a haircut, but it's hard to find someone you like to cut your hair. It took me like 2.5-3 years to find someone I really liked in Boston, I don't want to go through that whole process again, thus I've just been letting my hair grow. It's now at that weird length where it will look really cute if it's a little longer, or if it was a little shorter. So I'm debating if I should try to grow it longer or just cut it. I guess the only reason why I haven't cut it is because I'm lazy and don't want to find a new person. *Sigh* my life is so difficult.
What really sucks are the non payday weeks. They really tend to drag and there's not much to look forward to in the week. It's hard too at the end of the week not having anything to show for it. Not like the payday weeks are much better, all I have then is a little piece of paper that doesn't even stand for money.
This week has really flown by, which is always nice. I dont' feel like I'm wasting my time at work, but it's still weird living by myself. I guess I just need to find stuff to do, but to do stuff you need money, and all my money has been going to stuff like rent and car insurance lately. Maybe one day I'll have some extra money to do something ... like buy a house.
I keep looking at houses in the area, though not seriously, kinda like window shopping ... I haven't really saved up anything yet, much less really determined all the things I want in a house. It's hard to figure this stuff out.
What's the really weird part of being at work is that I mix with a lot of different people, at a lot of different stages in their own lives. I think it's mostly hard when talking to people who are more laborers, their lives are very different. They don't make as much money, most of them have not left Rochester before, and their expectations are a lot lower than mine. I'm not sure if that's because they're all older than me, or if that line of work makes you start thinking like that. I guess a lot of it comes down to money issues. One lady I was talking to today talked about how hard it was to get the money together to be able to travel anywhere. I don't get that at all. I can pay for all my bills for the month and then some (other than the occational car insurance bill -- then I have to dip into the second check because car insurance is so expensive!) with just the first check of the month. People always talk about how they have to pay all their bills, what bills are they paying exactly? Are they living that far outside their means where they really can't afford to travel? Or are they just bad at saving? I guess I'm not that big of a spender though either, I don't really know what to buy. I did buy a pair of shoes last weekend. They're cute. I like to buy stuff to do rather than stuff to just have. I guess I do need to start seriously saving for furniture/house/whatever.
