the one you don't read unless you were told to // my fucked summer
Typical of me. I don't post in three months and when I do it's not really a post, but something for others to read because I'm too lazy to type out emails. So, if you aren't one of the three people this affects nothing under the cut will interest you. Basically, my summer trip is fucked. :)
OKAY SO. Here's the deal. The job I have right now is a nanny job, duh. When I originally started, the deal was I'd work through the summer while still searching for a good job with my degree I would be getting in May. We agreed on this. Cool, whatever. If I found something, she'd be good, etc etc. We also agreed on a certain amount I'd be paid every week. (in hindsight I should have gotten this written down) Anyway, a few weeks ago we had a misunderstanding because she thought she said she's be paying me HALF of what I said she was supposed to be paying me. I pointed out that no one could live on that kind of money. Why would I agree to that? So, I practically made her pay me the full amount after that. THEN about a week after that she tells me her husband wants her to quit her job and stay home with the kids. Basically, her job now pays for my job. He doesn't like it. But thankfully she has a heart and can't do that to me. If she quits, I lose my job. So, our agreement was I'd work for her through June and she would quit her job and I could leave then. This worked for me because I was going on my trip at the beginning of July and I could save up enough money through June to make this work!
Here comes the best part. A couple of days ago she tells me she needs to get a surgery done. She's putting in her two week notice NEXT WEEK at her job. I kinda lost my temper and just left. I was so mad. I don't think her stupid husband cares that they are screwing with someone else's life here. Anyway, she called me later freaking out and telling me she will not screw me over that way. What it comes down to is she is going to pay me this month the 18th and 25th. These are the only pay checks I have coming to me for sure. Next Monday I am going to apply at the sheriff's office and supposedly she's going to float my resume around to help me out too. She says (which of course I don't know if I believe her at this point) that if I don't find a job by the end of May, she will keep working at her job so she can still pay me. According to her, I won't go without a job. She will keep working until I find a job. Yeah, right. This is IF her husband lets her.
So here's how this affects my trip. I can buy my plane tickets right now. I have the money. I am just hesitant right now because I don't know if I'll have a job in June. Well, if I don't I am jumping off a bridge ...no fucking kidding. AND if I do have a job in June I have to find a way to get the days off. Honestly, I don't see a way I can do much more than maybe July 5-8 maaaaaybe. Basically, I am going to the Sarah concert (because the tickets are already bought) and if I have to I'll come home the next day. It depends on the job I have. I was considering pretending I'm sick. I don't know. I could also be completely honest and see what happens. All of this is MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. I am so worried I'll end up with no job and no money again. I can't do that. So, I'm holding on to every penny I have.
I'm on the verge of a total breakdown right now because of this. Let this be a lesson. TRUST NO ONE.
Summary: Sarah concert for sure (unless I get a job that threatens my job so I can't go) and Columbus and West Virginia? Not going to happen unless there's a miracle. But I never give up. I mean, I could go. I can afford it now. But that would mean me not having a job through June and half of July and coming home to nothing. Does that make sense? I can't do that again. Actually, I won't have enough money to survive through June. I wish I could find like a temporary job just through June that I can quit at the end of it. Haha. See? Never give up. It might be possible. LIKE I SAID, everything is up in the air and crazy right now. I know nothing for sure until I find a new job, temporary or permanent.
I'm so sorry I've let you all down. :'( Good news is I am finally graduating and I am not giving up!
If you want to discuss ideas with me, please let me know! I did this entry because it's easiest and everyone can talk to me. You can email me if you want. or better yet skype me or call me? I don't care! I want to figure this out and be able to do it all or as much as possible.
EDIT: There's also a slight change I'll get money for my graduation. WHO KNOWS. I'll know more by the end of May, but I had to let all of you know everything now so we can start brainstorming or SOMETHING.
