Bah, Humbug
Still trying to keep my head above water. This has been a brutal year for myself and so many people I know. Finding work has been nearly impossible; the time of year combined with the lack of jobs has made things extra shitty around here. My boss came right and out said he doesn't care much about tax season, which is typically a peak time of year for us both. That leaves me with the impression he has no fucks left to give with respect to whether or not he makes any money.
Well, I have fucks left to give, and if things don't improve, I will be giving those fucks from a shelter somewhere.
Noelle is picking up on my anxiety and is acting out. I can't even type without her attacking my arms. I'm anxious, panicking and crying a lot. I need to find work, and fast. Something close to home in case the car craps out I can still get there.
This is not how I wanted to spend the holiday.
I just don't want to be in a shelter at this time next year. I don't do drugs, I'm not a battered woman, I don't have kids, and I'm not an alcoholic, so I doubt there are even any shelters for people like me who don't have those issues but who ended up without housing nonetheless. There is forced religion, no pets, and forced job searches for shitty low-wage jobs that don't pay enough to gaurantee long-term housing security; that is life in the vast majority of shelters around here.
Please hope I don't end up even having to think about those things.
