boon's log 5105.02: Accounting time...

After the shopping spree that happened ~2 weeks ago during the ThanksGiving weekend, last weekend was a weekend of accounting and rebates. I spent almost the entire Saturday matching the receipts with the rebate forms and then the barcodes. Before sending the rebates off, we also need to make sure that stuffs works!

And the credit card bills finally came in (oh, did I mentione that I just woke up from a coma from the credit card bills???) Gosh, I tell you, there is a "time for everything". A time to swipe your credit card like nobody's business and a time to faint (when you receive the bills a few weeks later...)

Between that ThanksGiving weekend up until Christmas, everyone seems to be in a rush, mostly gifts and presents. We were at Roseville last Sunday and man, is the place packed! Like money is not really an issue. "Buy now, pay later - no worries! Just make sure that you have a big fat paycheck coming in soon to pay off those bills, buddy... else you're mine!"

The forecast? Well, anywhere except your own home - expect to be in some sort of a long queue; be it in the carpark, or paying for your food, or even taking a leak - even in places where you're pretty sure there's no queue... fa la la la la la la la la...

boon out...
