At work, as usual. I'm feeling a little frustrated w/this whole working thing. I can only work a certain amount of hours a week due to school and an internship, and I make $9 as a Program Specialist, but I can't seem to make ends meet. I only get paid once a month, and most of that goes to bills and rent and by the mid to end of the month I'm completely broke. I don't know how I can get a 2nd job or get more hours; I have no time. Plus, Matt's paychecks are never great so I end up paying for the 2 of us with whatever we do. We share our money anyway, but that's not the point. I'm just not sure how to handle it. I hate asking my parents for money. My mom is wonderful and tried to tell me that school is my job and they'll give me money, but unfortunately they have alot on their hands including my sister and her daughter, both of which my parents support, so I know it's not easy for them to cough up alot of cash for me every month, plus tuition.
I did notice here that there's an opening for an Information Specialist that gets $11/hr, but I'm not sure how qualified I am for that particular position. It says 2 yrs of college and computer knowledge, and I have both. I'm almost done w/my commitment hours and have been a Program Specialist for a few months now, but I think I should go up to Counselor 1 first, before I jump into anything else. Or maybe both? I guess I can ask Shari about it.
As soon as I have $$ (if my paycheck doesn't get swallowed up entirely by bills) I'm gonna go see the doctors at Thagard in the Psychiatric department, or go to the Student Counseling Center. I just need help, and I don't think I can do it on my own anymore. Matt's wonderfully supportive, but I need a bit more than that. I also need to go back to the gyno because I had the pain and bleeding again last night after we had sex. They said they have no idea what's causing it, but that's not good enough because there is definitely something wrong. Bah, worthless doctors
Anyway, I'm gonna go find something to do
