It's likely that my next internet exploration will be to the world of surveys, to see if there's any survey gauging how much of a worry-wart a person can be.
I managed to get my worker's compensation check cashed, but only after I found out the bank wouldn't let me keep any cash, and to three other places that weren't sure if worker's comp. checks were cashable. The place I ended up going to told me to wait until 1:30, then 2:30, 3:00, 3:15... and were still unsure about things when I showed up at 3:20. The counter person gave me an evil stare at my request, then processed it grudgingly. Did I ever yearn for the safe deposit environment of a bank!
This was all to pay off one loan, while taking out another to get the rent money, which is already three days late. Rent time is always among the most stressful of times for Steve & I.
In the end, everything worked out for this month... but how much sweat was used, as well as rapid heartbeats? Many people say I worry too much. Sometimes I do question if all the worrying is valid. My main concern is to make sure I stay on top of things, trying not to miss a detail that may rock the budget boat the wrong way. This is why my mind is clouded with too much information at times, giving me my confused look.
Yes, more money would ease the worries. But is life really about money? I wish it wasn't, and I wish I'd be proven wrong.
If I find such a survey, I'll share the results with you whenever I do find it.
