Thank you Mr Rudd!!!

YAY!!! I got a letter today saying that I received the stimulus bonus. WOOHOO!!!

I was initially scared because I heard other people couldn't get it because they claimed back all their tax back that year. I couldn't remember if I claimed all mine back, and I couldn't check because I lost my 07-08 tax return form.

But all good now :)

Wonder what I should buy. Maybe that moded Wii, but... I probably will have to wait till July. Or maybe get a new camera lens, like a AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D. Maybe even a 600W Studio Flash Kit, though, I'll probably need a studio to maximise it's usage.

Hmm..... how should I stimulate the economy???.... hmm........ why don't I just save up the money for the car. Decisions, decisions...........

Manualism

That other thing stupid mistake I did was pretty much wrongly filling in a form, and having to drive out to many places to find another form in a super short period of time. Next time I do pick up a form, I'll definitely keep in mind to grab two or so. Just in case.

Okay... and a while ago I said I was learning how to drive a manual car. I haven't drove it for a while now, but I'll say that I was learning it so I could potential drive a manual van. The manual van was for a potential school photographer job. But now I've said no to the job.

But I've spent $270 on lessons. Should I continue with what I've learnt and buy a manual car? I feel safer driving an automatic car though. Much less to control and remember.

stupidity.......

Sometimes I make the most stupidest of decisions.......*sigh*

At the post office today I waited in a long line to book for a passport interview. When I got to the counter, the counter staff said a booking just opened at 11:30 due to a cancellation. The time was 10:15, and I didn't want to wait that long, so I said no, because I could go to another post office and hopefully there would be one earlier. Took the post office phone number anyway, just in case I changed my mind, and then walked around the area to do some other tasks. After the tasks were completed, the time was 11:05. I went back to the post office hoping the interview booking would still be open. The booking was taken during the time that it took to decide whether I should wait that long or not. Do'H!! Next available booking was 3:00.

You see, what I should have done is booked the interview at 11:30, and if I decided to go to another place, I could have just called the post office and canceled it.

aya.........

There's one more stupid thing I did today, but I'll explain it another day.
