Financial woes like woah
~.: So I'm really excited that I have this awesome new job now, but the problem of it is that if I don't work, I don't get paid. I received my first case on Monday, and called the client's mother today to set up an initial meeting. She didn't answer, so I left a voicemail. I haven't gotten a call back yet, and I don't know the protocol for contacting clients multiple times if I don't receive a response. I'm anxious to get started on this case so that I can stop feeling anxious and nervous about not knowing what to do, and so I can start billing. I'm supposed to get five hours in before Saturday to make a full billing week, and I really want to feel assured that I'll have a nice paycheck awaiting me at the end of April that I can apply for rent, which I'm nearly $700 behind in. :x My landlord is more than understanding, but I hate being the tenant that can't get her crap together enough to make rent. I'm quickly using up my emergency resources (aka, Mom and Dad), and I don't know how much more of this my landlord will take before he finally just evicts me. Which would suck. Cuz then I'd have to live at my dad's. And I like it here, minus the drama of my roommates sometimes. Though, I suppose I could always live under Michael's bed like his roommate's friend did once, for a while. 8D Even with a single case, in a month I'd make enough to pay the rest of the rent I owe for March, and some of what I owe for April. I just wish I knew of other financial resources I could use until my finances stabilize. :| The government doesn't have a fund set aside for "people who are having a rough time right now but aren't technically poor." You either qualify for financial assistance, or you don't. Thankfully, my mom finally sent me that gift card for groceries she'd promised me two months ago, so I have food now and shouldn't have to buy my meals one at a time.
