The sea of life, you're just a minnow
Warning, the following post is probably going to seem emotastic.
So, an update on my life. Last I mentioned, I had gone in for a drug screen and physical for a job opportunity. I was told that if I didn't hear anything back within two weeks to give them a call. Two weeks pass, I call and end up leaving a message. Two business days later, I finally get a hold of someone. I'm told, "We don't have a confirmed start date for you. As soon as we have a start date confirmed, we will contact you." Uh, okay.. I'm worried that they were blowing me off, but before all this Tony liked to assure me that I was hired because they probably wouldn't have sent me for the tests because of how expensive they are. Well, come to find out, there's a huge rumor going around the place that probably around August, they're going to be laying off 200 employees. Joy. I picked the best time to apply, didn't I? That's possibly another hopeful prospect down the drain.
So, here's where I stand. I've been unemployed for 3 months. I didn't go on the unemployment program because I thought I would be working again long before now and wouldn't need the money right away. Well, I'm officially broke, and behind on some bills. My only chance of survival seems to be going ahead and moving back in with my parents, and then taking the any damn job I can find, no matter how little they pay. I didn't want it to be this way, but I've hit the bottom. Every decent job I've tried for has either fallen through, or just never got back in contact with me after I sent them my resume and/or application. I can't afford to be picky anymore. As soon as someone wants to hire me, I'm taking the job, no matter what. I'd like to blame the current economy situation for this, but a good portion of it is my own fault too.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be doing my best to move back in with my parents. Not exactly sure how I'm going to accomplish this, but I have to. Also, I'm going to have to suspend my WoW account. I'll probably be turning off my internet service as well once I'm moved. Along with that is canceling my Blockbuster account, which I hardly use anyway. I'll also have to empty out my storage space and find a place for the rest of my stuff somewhere at my parents' place, which I hate doing, but I have no choice, I can't afford to keep it anymore. I'd turn off my cellphone if I could live without it, but I need it for Employers to be able to contact me. No, my parents don't have their land line activated, so I can't just use that instead.
What makes it all worse is that in order to pull the moving and canceling of services, I'm going to have to borrow money. They offered, and I hate doing it, but again, I don't have much choice. I'm going to owe too many people/places money by the time I start working again at this rate.
On a happier note, my parents have a kitten, so when I move back home I'll have a kitten to place with and lift my spirits some. My step-dad kind of rescued her and her mother from a job site in North Carolina. She was the only kitten the mother had, no sure why or how, I wasn't told that part. Anyway, he brought the kitten home for my nephew, since he and my mother were discussing getting the little shit a cat once he was out of school anyway. The nephew named her Mylee, and my mom describes her as a yellow/tan tabby, and is a little terror in her own right. Aside from attacking them, she likes to follow my nephew around the house and aggravate him. I think we'll make good friends, since I like to do the same thing, and I don't mind kitten scratches and bites. I'd post pics, but I don't have any, and by the time I get some, I will probably be without internet service for a bit.
With the internet service down, I'm going to have to find other things to occupy me. Good thing I have single player games, RPGs, and general brainstorming and what not for my other games. Not to mention playing Wii with the nephew, and helping my parents cleanup and repair from the tornado damage. I don't feel as bad for having to move back home, as even being unemployed, I can pull my own weight there as I did before, and they need the help. My own bills will be the thing I worry about the most until I start working and for a good bit afterwords. I will not ask them to pay those for me. Whether or not they're having their own financial troubles (which they are).
You know, if I could afford it, I'd give serious thought to playing the lottery. With my string of bad luck lately, if you want to call it that, I'd probably win something.
