Ups...and Downs
11 years ago
Well, I knew it wouldn't last. Life raised me up to smack me back down. >.<
Firstly, another update on my life. I did manage to get the job with Crossmark working as the Event Supervisor (aka the demonstration person) for Walmart in my town. I basically get to stand around for 6 hours and hand out food samples and coupons. It's easy work for good pay, but completely random hours and uncertain days. I could work for 4 days a week or not work for 2 weeks.
Now, second update, the other Walmart job I mentioned before (the remodel position for the entire store), well, I got turned down even when they hired all my friends all because I answered their questionnaire wrong. I hate those things. >.<
Good news is that I've been working with my local card & comic shop to help it get back on its feet and drawing in a bigger crowd so the store won't close down. It's the ONLY place around for upwards of an hour's drive away to find a card or comic shop, let alone a place for nerds or even just social interaction within a young-adult range.
Bad news is that I'm god-awful with money management skills and I've spent nearly 85% of my last/only paycheck from the trucking job I had. I'm down to around $100 left to my name.
Worse news is that the trucking company just sent me a letter saying they expect me to start paying $200 a month for fees/etc. starting next month (or rather in about 3 weeks). >.<
I am so screwed here. T.T I won't make anywhere near that kind of money with this demo job and the only other jobs around here are going to be factory or food services. With my money gone and my desktop still screwed up I can't even make an attempt at selling my crappy adopts that no one want. *sigh* No one likes colorists anyway. People only want those who can draw or craft or write or compose. I have none of those talents, no one to teach me, and no money to fund any of it, regardless. I'm just S.O.L. with life in general. T.T

Awww, hun, I'm so sorry! Why do you have to pay your former employer?? That makes no sense...

OP
For the truck school fees because I didn't stay with them 9 months and probably the light pole I knocked over with my trailer while I was driving their truck.
