Broke
I have, like, no money. It's quite interesting. I have 99 pounds to last until 21st October. Of that, at least 50 will have to go on travel (by which I mean, if I don't make a single journey that isn't to or from work). From Saturday until Wednesday AM, I'm going to be in Germany and the company pays for everything, but that's still 12 days during which I have to feed myself, and then there's the thing where I can't really do anything that involves leaving the house without spending money on travel. I reckon I can feed myself on that. Tamsyn has left some food in her cupboard which I can have, and my housemates are being very generous and understanding. Rent will be paid once I have money. I have shampoo, tooth paste and such, so I shouldn't have to spend any more on essential supplies. There are people I could probably ask for money, and I know I could ask for more overdraft, but I sort of see this as a challenge. I don't want to be so middle class as to just make there be more money- I should sit this one out and deal with the consequences. Also, it's good for you to have to feel the pinch of having no money- makes you more sympathetic and understanding. And I know that it gets a lot more skint than this. The one thing that would break it is if work are going to say that we have to pay for everything in Germany then expense it later. But if that's the deal, then the fuckers can just advance me some pay, because if they're going to give us a hotel where there are no cooking facilities then the onus is on them, really. Yes, I'm aware of the irony in that last comment.
