Financially Fecked Again

So I made my vauge plan for the weekend; head up to Niigata tommorrow, meet up with Kate, maybe see Albirex, go drinking Saturday night, play footy in Nagaoka on Sunday. No its getting near the end of the month, a month where I paid for my Fuji Rock ticket and started saving for September. So money is getting tight, but I have just enough to cover bills until payday and go to Niigata too. That was until my supervisor asked me to go to the bank with her.

The hotel rooms for next month Re-contracting Conference have to be paid by Wednesday. For some reason, prefectoral ALTS (all the Senior High School ALTS) have to pay the hotel from their bank account. But, the Board of Education will deposit beforehand money in each of our accounts to cover the cost.

However, somewhere along the line the paperwork for me was delayed, which delays the deposit from the BoE which means I have to pay for my Tokyo hotel. Today. All two thousand yen of it.

My supervisor did say that I didn't have to pay it today, I could pay it on Monday. Nice decision to make; pay for a hotel now and see if I can afford the weekend, or party at the weekend and struggle to pay on Monday.

So, I'm 2,000 yen lighter and my weekend plans are in tatters. Feckin brilliant.
