Canning that heat: heating up

The first night of fun based on my can harvest yielded fruitful (i've been playing some Farmville lately). Today is Saturday and last night was my first night on the "can" budget.

Let's recount the steps:

  1. i started with $12.10 at the beginning of my weekend, 10 pm, Friday night, after a long day of promoting the Jonas Brothers' dog premiere at Build-a-Bear (where i work). The gig wasn't bad, stand out feature of the night: An older woman picked out a dog and named her "Jezebel." Being a well-brought up catholic school child (and assuming she would get the joke), i asked if her dog was going to be an adulteress queen. i was expecting a laugh but recieved a disgruntled look, what do you expect to come to mind with the name Jezebel?! Harlots now-a-days....
  2. Around 11ish i met up with some of my friends and in an attempt to be economical, i split a 30 rack of keystone 3 ways. It ended up being $6 each and tax but i was living pretty high with my double digit earnings and threw in $7 in order to cover tax.
  3. The night of debauchery unraveled and i forgot to keep the empties, a $1.50 waste.
  4. i spent another $4.30 on a Game cigar and a beef patty special at K2. At this point, i was semi-aware that i was spending a little to much money, so i asked the chief to fill it up with the sauces (a creamy mix of hot sauce and Italian dressing) for a "more-bang for your buck" meal.
Keystone + Beef patty + Hot sauce + Italian dressing = Full Stomach, however, in numerical value, it looks more like this
$12.10-7=5.10.
$5.10 -4.30=.80
Down to $0.80 for the 26th.

It is Saturday afternoon, as if watching a movie, i find my character seated at the library and on his second job of the day ( Build-a-Bear started at 10).

He still hasn't slept from the night before and his mind is still expecting to drive to a political rally in Troy after he gets out of the library.
It's going to be a full 72 hour day...the beef patty was a good investment.
