I am often asked why I don't go to bed at an early hour. I often tell people it's for personal reasons. Insomnia, watching a movie, fooling around on the Internet. This is partly true. The sheer terror that my life is going nowhere fast, and I don't have the resources to pull it into the faster lane anytime soon, I would figure would keep me up. But it's not. I have no trouble ignoring my precarious situation. Perhaps some online game that I am addicted to. It has happened often enough. But that only happens maybe once a month now. While good reasons all, the most common reason for my late nights is my forgetfulness. My constant failure to account for that missing dollar. Or, in tonight's case, the dollar mysteriously not spent. For hours I stare at my petty cash account, and wonder, "Where DID that dollar go?"
