Another no-spend day. This is getting downright boring!
I WILL be spending later today, when I buy next month's train pass.
I'm going to a financial seminar later this morning; it's sponsored by a local bank and is called "Saving Money and Successful Budgeting." I don't expect I will really learn anything new, but since saving money is pretty much my hobby I thought I'd check it out.
I notice there are no longer "refreshments provided." It used to be that every HR event provided a free lunch. Those were the days! Now we are all about cost-cutting.
The town hall meeting about our College budget is this afternoon -- so I am going to have a day immersed in budget talk! I heard another rumor -- that early retirement will be encouraged. Yikes! I can't see any way I could do it -- I hope I am not going to get a nudge in that direction. I can't imagine what incentive they could provide that would make a difference.
I took Petunia's advice and had a bit of cheese with my muffin this morning. Since it was a raisin bran muffin, I feel quite full!
I'm starting to plan a drive-to-work day. It's about time for a haircut, and it's past time for an oil change. It's easier to do both in my work town. Plus I can visit my favorite Goodwill and fill up with cheap gas! Have to decide which is the best day. Can't put it off too long, as my bangs are in my eyes!

I would go to a financial seminar called "Saving Money and Successful Budgeting" too. That sounds like fun to me. Sometimes, I think I really need to widen my interests.
