Scared

Published by Kirsten under Grrr, Money, Work

Just when I thought things were turning around, that they were going to go really well with a new fun job and all that jazz, it blew up. I was supposed to start my new job today, and was just on my way out the door when Sparkling Butterfly called me and told me to come in at 9 instead of 8. No big deal, I’ll go out and have a proper breakfast. She called me back about 20 minutes later (I hadn’t yet left the house) and told me there’s some crap going on and to take the day off. Ok, a little nervous now but fine. So I went back to bed and slept until about 3:30. Much needed sleep, really.

Anyway, I called her back when I got up and she sounded really drained. Lots of drama, and as much as she wants to hire me and really needs my help now more than anything, she doesn’t know if there’s enough money in payroll to pay her, never mind a new person. Yup, it’s the big E word. Soooo, I don’t even know if that job is going to happen right now. She will call me back this weekend and let me know what’s going on.

So now I have no income except for the pocket change I make at the store. I will ask for more hours at the store, but 2 things about that - it won’t be much because the budget is tight and I don’t make that much there, and well, ok maybe that was just 1 thing. I called F - he runs a security company and said he can get me a job as a guard. It still won’t be a ton of money, but it will be something. It’s so not up my alley, but again, it’s something.

So now I’m just really scared, financially, but that affects everything. I need to spend some time tomorrow going over some things and see where I can cut back. This just sucks, and I don’t want to lose anything either, ya know?

    Wow this is a nasty situation to be in. Gotta admit… right now’s the first time I’ve been dependant on my family for support. My job doesn’t start till mid Jan so I’m pretty much inn the same boat as you.

    Perhaps you can make some money filling out onneline surveys in the meantime? …hope things start to look up soon.
