dime, dime, quarter

From my WellsFargo online statement tonight:

Ending balance as of last business day (10/09/08) ( Direct Deposit Advance® ) $0.45

How's that for cutting it close. :)

Luckily, I've been working more hours than usual on the paycheck that should've already been credited to my account today. Where I work, they needed a tech-savvy person to work on populating a content management system for our new website that is due out in a few weeks. I walked into the room while they were pondering how to fill this need.

Re-enactment scenario....

Me: *walking into room to tear down laptop and projector from earlier presentation*
Them: *stern expressions and silence*
Me: Oh, sorry, I thought the meeting had ended. I can come back later.
Them: No, no, we're done. Come on in.
Me: *continuing into the room*
Them: *continuing with stern expressions and silence*
Me: *working quietly on the equipment*
Them: Terry, you work part-time, don't you?

And so I was hired to take on another part-time job at the same employer for a while. I'm glad to help them out, and the small boost to my paycheck will help for as many days as the short assignment will last.

I had to use one while I was unemployed, otherwise I'd still have a $0.00 balance on it too. It's really just for emergencies like that.

Clever. I usually keep my credit card in $0.00 debt too, that makes my friends think I am a little weird. However, some book titles at amazon.com ring the bell of "emergency" in my brain. I have to work on that poart! :o)
