Welcome to Monday..
So Today.
Overslept, thus being late for work, called to let them know I was running late, was told not to bother. In fact, not to return at all. *sigh* I was hoping to get another week's worth of hours first, so that I would have money for moving... Instead, my final check will be practically pocket change. (As a note... The thing I was working for was through NIU, and is effectively a 'during the semester' thing, and they let a lot of people go during the break, as they don't have all that much if anything in the way of events for us to work at.... I already know I'm not returning next semester, so it was less a matter of "if" i'd still have a job, but how many hours I could beg them for while it still lasted.)
So, unemployed.
Got a letter from my bank about an overdraft... I'm about $30 overdrawn. They waived the initial overdraft charge.. however, if after 3 days the negative balance isn't taken care of I'll be charged $8 a day. The letter is dated from the 19th. (Said overdraft is from a pair of contacts I bought at ICC, the vendor just now ran everything I guess. And I didn't even get to keep the contacts, they got left behind at the hotel due to a roommate snafu where I wasn't allowed to pack up my own stuff. Long story, dont' ask. Icc sucked.) If by 3 days they mean business days, I may be able to keep the account active if I can borrow $30 from someoen and get it deposited tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm fucked... my final check (what little there is) is direct deposit and the accoutn will likely be closed before it can go through.. and the freelance writing gig I've been working on pays via direct deposit...
Still looking at moving. Roomates are being nice again, but the point was made. Its time to go elsewhere. Now I just need to figure out a way to get there, with no income *sigh*
On the bright side... I may have a really awesome option, provided its still available when I manage to come up with the money... so the move thing isn't a horrible thing, I'm just stressed about finding moeny for bus ticket/etc to get there.
And I submitted 2 more articles today. It only pays a couple of dollars per accepted article, but still... Its been a few weeks since I've been able to focus enough to actually write anything worth submitting.
So. Monday is the suck.. I'm stressed and depressed... hoping to escape before the snow comes, if I can come up with the money. But it could theoretically be worse.
