Broke broke....broke.
I am so insanely poor right now it's not even funny.
Seriously. I think I was better off in high school when I was mooching change off of people for lunch. At least then I didn't have to pay rent. Or drive 40 miles a day to and from school.
Maybe if they didn't keep giving me the runaround regarding my FAFSA...
I've been working 35-40 hours a week (In addition to the 18 hours of school), and while it may give me a decent amount of money, I only get paid once every two weeks...which means I have $11 until October 6th. I use about $30 in gas in ONE week. Besides, working until 11 almost every night when you have school at 8 in the morning with plenty of homework is just a TINY bit stressful.
Oh yes- James quit his job yesterday, too. He needed to; they were pulling some ridiculous bullshit. If he didn't quit, he would be fired tomorrow because their schedule/time clock system is STUPID. Sooo...better to quit than to be fired.
So, how poor are we?
Today we went to the SFCC food bank and received 27 pounds of food. I also applied for !@$^(*# food benefits (Nice way of saying food stamps), and I'm fairly certain we qualify. I also can't afford the last two books I need for school, nor can I afford the rest of my supplies (Art junk for my Drawing for Graphic Design class). Oh, and our phone is due to be shut off any day now because I owe them about $130...and I believe we will receive the disconnect notice from the power company on Thursday...which gives us about 4 days to pay the $120-something power bill.
I really want to curl up and die right now.
