work was kind enough to give us presents today. in the shape of shitty plastic piggy banks with our new slogan on them. which I find overly hilarious since A - the name and slogan of our company is going to change on dec 1st since we've been bought out. and B - the slogan is ironic. in the sense that it's about using our cards. and it's a piggy bank. which eludes to saving. since when is using a credit card any where near related to SAVING? ohhh giant corporation I work for. I take your anal rampages, I take your politics and bullshit management, and I freely take your paychecks. and from now on I will do my own ironic saving by putting a large portion of those paychecks inside of your cheaply made piggy bank.
I've named him Cash. After Mr. Johnny Cash. and also cause he's going to be filled with Cash. it works.
so in the spirit of "saving" I finally decided to track down and sort out all my winning scratch tickets. I tend to buy 2 or 3 a week, and then hoard the winners. until I have a pile big enough to require it's own laundry day. then cash them all in at once. so I went through all of them and I have 194 bucks! 194 BUCKS! HELL YEA!
all of which will get shoved in Cash's little slot. so I can save. you know. FOR STUFF.

in other news - I didn't win the lotto max on friday. when I win it THIS friday, I've already told my coworkers that I will pay them each 10K to do a flashmob of us all quitting during the team meeting. I'm even actually willing to make it more than 10K. but they seem happy with me being cheap. either way. It's going to be pleasant.
