I got paid twice today. Sweet! Unfortunately, I decided that two weeks’ pay was not worth losing my job over and thus, let HR know. With the new job, I changed cost centers at work — so they had to stop and restart my direct deposit. I ended up with two pay stubs and a live check today, but also had my pay deposited into my checking account. After much discussion, it was decided that I should deposit the check and corporate payroll would pull out what they had erroneously deposited. Both the HR person and my boss thanked me for being so honest. I was like, duh. I mean, it didn’t even occur to me to keep the money, because, like I said, not worth losing my job over.

So I got roped into these Halloween parties tomorrow. I wasn’t going to go, mainly because no one else seemed too interested in going. But today, my friend “Will” strong-armed me into it. So that means I had to find a costume. Three days before Halloween is not the best time. I decided I wanted to be blonde, so I bought a blonde curly wig. Then I thought, ooh, hooker-ish. I got home, couldn’t figure out how the fuck the wig went on (I think some of the curls were stretched out) then realized that I had nothing hooker-ish to wear. Even with my red and black lace bra peeking out from under a white corset, I still didn’t look like a hooker. Damn my class and breeding.

That left my witch costume from last year. I still wanted to be a blonde, so I went back out and bought a long “witch” wig. Thank goodness these wigs are only $9.99 each. I am much more satisfied with it, esp. after I took out the scissors and cut some delightful, face-framing layers lol. But now … I can’t find my fucking witch’s hat from last year. I could have sworn it was in my closet, but I must have moved it because it’s not there. Sigh. Another $10 tomorrow for a stupid hat. But I shall be glorious, a cute ‘n sassy blonde witch. These parties better be worth it … lol.
