I just made $80 Friday and only have $20 left, it's like I'm consistently broke. I don't even make enough money to pay my car insurance / phone bill. The only reason I have enough to pay them at the moment is that I’m getting child support checks for the first time in years, let’s just hope that they suddenly don’t stop coming like they are famous for. Typically I have to dip into my cash every week or so to fill my gas tank and this week my tank happened to be completely empty so that was around $35 to fill up leaving me with $45 to work with. In addition to that another $20 had to go towards my pitch for the camping trip I went on this weekend (tell you more about it in another post) for food and drinks. So once again I feel up against the wall with my spending and it wasn’t even on anything I should feel guilty over except I can’t help but feel that way when I find myself hinting to my mom I’m broke again.
You know, this situation wouldn’t even exist on the level it does if I just had a job…too bad that’s nothing more than a distant dream at the moment. Shit it’s been a dream since 2007 and guess what? That doesn’t seem like it’s going to change into reality anytime soon.
As of recently I’ve been trying to get hired at King Soopers here by my house because I have a cousin who works there and he told me they are in need of help and lost a lot of people. Funny thing is that I keep getting turned away like they don’t need any. My cousin told the lady who helped him get his job to pull my application…did she? I’m sure she didn’t by how she acted when I finally got a hold of her after going to the store three different times (every other time I went she wasn’t working) so I could “follow up on my application” with her. Then after all that I went through to specifically talk to her she didn’t even really help, all she did was say she would give the message to their hiring manager and would have him call me, but she specifically said not to call them, figures. I did call anyway and left a voicemail…still no call back. I am going to try again tomorrow, but I feel like I’m beating a dead horse at this point.
What gets me is that I applied at that store and two other ones before my cousin ever worked there and all he had to do was put in his application and they called him. He didn’t have to go through this hassle of calling and bullshit like me. I don’t get it. Why can’t I just have a little bit of luck? I’m going to try for this other job my stepdad and mom sent me the link to, it’s something with construction but you have to take classes and go through this long process before you even get the job…but shit…I’ll take anything at this point no matter what the process is.
