I Smell Burning Plastic in My Wallet

August 27, 2001

Before I left to buy myself a microwave last night, I called the Discover and Mastercard customer service numbers to get my account balances.

Yikes.

It appears that some of my other plans, like a receiver/surround sound system and DSL may have to wait a while. Don't worry, I won't be sleeping on the sidewalk; but I've spent at least three months' rent just getting this apartment set up. Fortunately these things are mostly one-time expenses.
