so now i am scared. i recently gained a reasonable financial cushion, which i haven't had in at least 6 months. but now i have missed almost an entire week of work. i'm not ruling out my shift for saturday yet, but at the moment, it's not looking good. i know it's only a week, but that's going to be hard to make up. hopefully i can work some doubles and expand my book in the nail department for the next week or two. i dunno. i'm glad that cushion is there, but i am really annoyed with having to dip into it so soon. i just want it to sit in my savings and not exist.
i'm not as scared about money that will be coming in as i used to be. working the desk was horrible financially. i never thought a quarter less an hour would kick me in the ass so hard. people in the nail department that i've spoken to, as well as people in skincare (where i'm headed) have told me about how much they normally make on average. turns out, their low paychecks for a slow pay period is my high paycheck. so i'm definately excited. hopefully in the next few months, i can stop accepting help with my insurance from my grandfather, and i won't need the portion of the child support my mom gives me each month. that way, lindsay can use it when she moves out in june. i'm excited to finally be independant.
