Making progress on my job front! I've cleared the pre-employment verification checks, future boss called me to say that they'd be generating the contract soon. But due to the timing and HR processes, I won't be able to start until the beginning of next month. So I still have to watch my expenses and hold out for about a month before I get paid. :|

And I really wanted to buy that fancy new Dyson cordless vacuum... I mean, I still can, but that'd be irresponsible of me. Adulting sucks sometimes.

vacuum... Adulting sucks...

Was that intentional? 😃

Thanks for sharing your job progress btw, exciting!

Let's just pretend I'm clever and say it was intentional. :D

Beginning of next month isn't long!

I know many hate BNPL companies, but I use Afterpay all the time for stuff like this. I know I can outright buy whatever it is, but just spreading out the payments feels a bit easier on the bank account. I generally never have more than one order going at a time though.
