May 2nd 2009

Last night was definitely a bit of a test…

After going to the party, which was this Rotary meeting with my girlfriend, it became clear that my girlfriend was very much wrong about what the schedule was going to be. She thought that the schedule was going to be Rotary meeting/dinner/drinks^[1], and then afterwards we would head out to a place to grab drinks with friends. This schedule was fine, because whilst out at the bar I can just grab myself some water. NOW, the problem with the REAL schedule was we were actually first going to the Rotary meeting, but it wasn’t dinner. The Rotary meeting was just snacks and drinks… yes, all for free, but still that begs the question “Where is the dinner going to take place?”. Well, instead of going out to drinks, it was actually a fancy expensive dinner and my girlfriend has already set me up to FAIL in this operation!!! AND IT HAS BARELY BEEN A SINGLE DAY!

So how could I get around this particular obstacle? Not eat? Just leave? HOW?

Lucky for me, everyone is moderately aware of my operation and I ended up getting a free dinner offer from Monica’s Parents. Thank God^[2]. Now I am not talking about a cheap little dinner, by the way. This place, The Fish Market, is RIGHT ON THE WATER… LITERALLY… hanging over the ocean in San Diego! Since I don’t like fish, Monica and I shared a Filet Mignon and it was DELISH.

Hilariously enough, Monica’s ‘rents didn’t end up paying for this lavish dinner. WHY? Because of a massive screw up and the inability to deliver the children’s^[3] food before all the rest of us were literally done with ours. Needless to say, we got a massive discount. The kid’s food was free and we got 75 bucks off the total bill! So the way I see it, I got my dinner for free! Gotta love it!

Near the end of the meal, Monica’s parents tested me once again and they asked me if I had $10 to contribute to the itsy bitsy bill that we had. How to get around this? All I had to say is “I’m sorry I can’t give you money because of religious reasons…”

Problem solved.

• Unnecessary Dollars Spent Today: $0
• Necessary Dollars Spent Today: $0
• Total Charitable Dollars^[4] Today: $34
• Total Spent Today By Me: $0
• Total Spent in Operation By Me: $0
• Total Spent in Operation By All: $34

The remainder of the day today shouldn’t have much complications. I plan on working on a paper, economics homework, and watching the rest of the Anaheim Angels baseball game. The potential dollars that will be spent today is $0.

So far so good… Haven’t spent a single red cent! Also I am a bit ahead, actually! I received in the mail a gift card from my new bank! So I, in fact, have $10 to spend anywhere! Going to have to use that sparingly but I think I can manage it!

Best of luck to you all out there. And if SOME of you want to join the Operation, let me know. But remember, we can’t have too many people join or we may actually bring down the entire economic structure, and that may be a bad thing.
