Long time no see, a bad place.
Damn, it's been a while since I've written in this thing. It's been a fairly lackluster 2008 with a short stay in the hospital to start it off, an aborted attempt to get back to work with ARUP, a short stint at the Radisson gift shop and then six long months of surviving on unemployment. I've really put myself into a bad situation with my procrastination and being unmotivated. As it stands I am completely out of money and hoping to land a new job ASAP.
I will owe $425 in rent in a week so I know where a chunk of my first paycheck will be going. I just hope my landlady will be willing to work with me since I won't be able to pay it until the middle of February at the earliest.
My cell phone is unable to make outgoing calls and it's just a matter of time before I'll be unable to accept incoming calls. I owe $70 on that bill. I definitely need a phone too so I'll be able to communicate with potential employers.
I owe my bank $34, so the first $34 I make will be going to them.
In a couple of weeks I'll owe $231 for my car payment.
Then there's utilities, internet service, and cable.
I'm definitely in over my head here and until I get a job things look like they will just keep getting worse. I'm not sure how I deal with all this stress, but I feel calm at the moment and haven't been feeling overwhelmed. I just keep faith that things will work out and I'll be able to climb out of this hole.
I'm going to see if I can start selling stuff on eBay. I've got a couple of electronics items that might fetch a few dollars. I've also got a number of nice, well-maintained textbooks which should fetch more than a couple of dollars.
Last, I'm hoping and praying that my friends might be able to help out temporarily. *sigh* I hate asking for money, but I don't feel like I have any other options. I'm finally recovered from my nervous breakdown and now it's time to focus on making money!
