21st century machine dependency

After what felt like ages, (it always feels like ages when you're broke,) I got paid yesterday, meaning I was finally able to pay the shipping to send off the power supply for my computer. Warranty covers replacement but not shipping. The delay in sending it out means the new one probably won't get back to me until the end of the month, which kind of sucks because there could be a lot of things going on by then. Not necessarily the optimum time to try to repair a computer but we don't always get to pick and choose.

Today after months of scrimping and saving I finally bought a Peavey Vypyr guitar amplifier. I had been wanting a 100 watt 2X12 and Guitar Center finally got one in. But today when I got there it was gone. So instead I bought the 30 watt 1X12 that they did have. Given that this amplifier is just barely louder than a JET ENGINE BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER I think I may not have needed the 100 watt after all. Plus it was cheaper. Now I need to take a few hours to figure out how to operate the thing. Modelling amps are nowhere near as straightforward as what I'm used to. Have to look online and see if I can download the manual (I got it used so no manual.)

I'm a person who hates spending any amount of money. I feel guilty about this purchase even though I've been without an amp for years and carefully saving for months. Oh well, nothing for it now. I suppose the best way to shake the feeling is to put the amp to work and get lots of use out of it.

I only wish I hated spending money. It burns a hole in my pocket and that is sad.

That said, it sounds like you deserve an amp after all this time. Turn it up to 11 and enjoy yourself!

Ugh. The two weeks between paycheques DOES feel like an eternity! I hope your power supply comes back sooner rather than later! Going without a proper computer SUCKS!

I also hate spending money...Dayna makes fun of my 'buyer's remorse' all the time. But seriously, that is an awesome buy and totally worth it for you! :)

My regret is dwindling by the day :)

Congrats.

And I get what you mean by the guilty feeling.

Eventually it'll fade away.

Eventually.
