Short Changed

I'm not a big fan of the month of February. For more than one reason, but mainly because we're short changed a couple of days. Then add some bitter cold and snow, that's just insult to injury. But if you think about it, all of your bills usually come due the same time every month, except February. If you normally pay your electric bill on the 30th of every month, you have two less days to get the money together to keep the lights on. NOT FAIR! Plus, the money leaves your account two days early, which denies you of added interest you could be making, which, in my case, adds up to hundredths of a cent, but it's still mine. I've been around awhile, and I know for a fact there's a couple of months out there with 31 days, that could possibly spare a day, and share the love with February. Then there's leap year. OOOH, one extra day in February. I don't know if this is designed to help us think we're getting something for free? HELLO! We're still deficient one day! I don't know how February feels about this situation, but I would be irate. Always having to be in the shadows of the other months, and not getting its fair recognition. This is really a travesty. I think somebody should stand up in February's behalf, and cry for equal treatment. And that hundredth of a cent I'm being robbed of every year, I would hate to see the compound interest I'm losing. In my lifetime, that could add up to a few extra pennies in my ash tray.
