While cleaning up the house today, I came across many receipts, which makes me think about money. Money is currently troubling me. Tomorrow is the late due date for practice studio rent. This time, if I don't pay the whole thing, it won't get paid, and we'll have a $50 late fee tacked on. Five more days and our equipment is seized and held till we pay. Will I pay? I have in the past. Kris often pays rent on time. Brian has paid rent on time a total of twice and still owes 2 months back rent. This time, Kris can't come up with the rent money, and won't be able to for a while. Those two guys seem to bank on me always having a large amount of liquid cash available and being okay with allocating lots of it on a moment's notice. The past few months I've warned them that it feels like I'm being taken advantage of, and that I would stop covering payments if it kept up. Well, it kept up. I'm stopping. Nobody has money this month but me, unsurprisingly. You could argue that I'm many salary brackets above those guys, but the truth is, Kris HAD enough money but spent too much and blew three times his monthly space rent on overdraft charges alone. Brian doesn't have to pay for a car, insurance, or even rent. Where does his money go?

Wednesday, Kris and I had planned to record a few parts. Wednesday is equipment seizing day, and I'm pretty sure their familiar with people ditching with their gear at the last moment. Do I want my recording computer to be there? No. But! My car insurance has lapsed, and I'm not going to drive it till I get it straightened out with my flaky, soon to be fired insurance agent. That guy. Man.
