So I got an email from the HR department at my job EARLY today letting me know that the background check came back requesting fingerprints from me.
This is a pretty common thing in my field, every job in this field I have worked has needed fingerprints.
I let her know I will get them done ASAP. She tells me they cost $12.50 but they will reemberse me.
Problem. Payday is Friday. I haven't eaten in 2 days because I don't have money.
I let her know that I will do my fingerprints when my paycheck comes in.
It is now almost 10:00 at night and I am still emailing back and forth with this poor woman while she tries to figure out a way to pay for my stupid fingerprints that are only a stupid $12.50 because I'm broke. She is dumb founded that I can't afford like... the amount for a morning coffee to get something required for my job and I'm apologizing all over the place for being such a pain in the butt
I probably get paid in like 5 hours but we need to secure my appointment to get the finger prints done in order for me to be allowed on my next shift which is tomorrow.
ugh lol

This is a prime example the basic catch 22 of being at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
I feel sorry for both you and this poor woman bureaucrat.
These are the wages of our brutal capitalist society.
You'll get there.
