Various random things

It's been ages since I made a post that wasn't fic or fandomy related so I figured it was time. I shall do this in a list because lists are shiny and they make life easier.

Oh, no! I didn't know you were still sick! That's terrible!

::fingers crossed for your employment fight::

[lorelaisquared]

Yeah, I've been sick for so long that I've quit saying anything so as not to be annoying. Also I'm not as bad as I was but I'm still pretty congested and I'm still coughing a lot. It's annoying.

Thank you! I'm trying not to let myself think about it too much right now since it makes me panicky and there's nothing I can actively do about it now. I just have to wait. I'm terrified it's all going to blow up in my face though. I'd feel so much better if I had someone competent helping me.

Oh dear! I really hope everything gets sorted, quite unfair of that woman to take advantage and not pay you D: As for the being sick, it's never just one thing, is it? Pay issues and illness >_<

Hopefully everything get's squared and you get paid, hope you get to feeling better, too ♥

[lorelaisquared]

Thank you. My boss was terrible and totally the kind of person to take advantage so I'm really not surprised. I think she thought I was just some ignorant Canadian who didn't know British law and wasn't going to fight for my rights. But this is too important not to fight for. 2 months of pay is significant to me even if it's not enough for Legal aide to think it's worth helping me for.

Thank you for your support!

1. Thank you. The main issue here is that I was required by the contract to give notice a FULL TERM in advance. The other problem is that she's defining end of term as the last day worked and I'm defining it as August 31 from a pay perspective. it's messy and complex and I basically hate everything about it.

2. Thank you. The biggest issue with subbing right now is not getting enough work. I'm only getting 3-4 days a week and since I started so far behind it's making it really hard to keep living off it all, you know?

Yay! A post. I think your cold should go away. I had one like that last year when I was visiting you. It was evil. I am looking forward to Christmas! Anna informed me last night that Cynthia was her half-sister (the look on Js face was priceless) and that you were mine. I thought that was cute.

And what about your Nano novel from last year? When do I get to read that? I need a kindle so I can read stuff easily, my phone is rather evil. I think it would be fun to try writing something myself, something original maybe if I could think of something. It would be short though, just don't have enough time.

I hope you do get the money somehow from former evil boss.

I would be very happy if it would go away. This lingering cough is so irritating!

Lolol that's really adorable! ♥ Anna! Wish I could have seen J's face though. Bet that was priceless!

Nano from last year in serious need of edits/rewrites. I'll be working on it again maybe in December. Don't worry, you'll see it eventually.

*hugs* I feel your stress, (because it is my stress too). if I was still in England you can bet your ass I'd be fighting it... and would have trid to join you except that my life was so chaotic and I forgot.

I'm currently now in the negatives, due to really needing to get new glasses. I will officially be living off my aunt as of tomorrow, because I can't afford to get groceries when I'm in Manitoba. I can't even afford to get the parka that I need to get, and will be in debt to my credit card for the first time in my life.

[lorelaisquared]

Ugh. The problem is I don't even have any credit cards I could draw on if I had to. Nor do I have an overdraft. So I'm basically screwed.

I'm glad you're moving somewhere you can get work though, hopefully it will level off soon.
