muckefuck | Why do I even try? (Reply)

I'm not sure why I still fret over small savings here and there when my ability to make much larger blunders continues on unabated. I swear to god that when I started at my current workplace, I investigated the tax evasion option for public transit and rejected it because they would only pay for Chicago Cards with fixed amounts and not unlimited 30-day passes. But while cruising the HR website today to figure out how to furnish salary verification in the absence of printed paystubs, I clicked on the link and read the current policy. Guess what! They do offer 30-day passes after all! If it's simply a question of me misreading the policy in the first place, then I'm out over a thousand bucks. If they actually changed the policy in the past few years and never bothered to tell me, then it's only a couple hundred.

I LOVE FINDING OUT SHIT LIKE THIS!

Today is a stressful day in general. We have the inspection this afternoon and we found out first thing this morning that we have to have a honkin' big cashier's check in hand at it. Plus we only got the condo minutes this morning and I at least haven't had any time to review them for problems. Mortgage rates are oscillating wildly, making every choice (locking in now or waiting for another decrease) seem like a bad one and dealing with lenders is about as much fun as dental surgery.

Are we done yet?
