Semi-Hiatus (Car Collision)

Hey y'all. So I was gonna get back into the swing of things. This includes my major project for a webcomic, and Trials and Tribulations.
Unfortunately, I'll be picking up a second job (part-time) or try to until I'm able to pick up my promotion (soon!!).
Long story short, I barely make enough for my bills and the other day I rear-ended a truck. The deductible will cover the repairs for my car and the driver's truck, I only pay a certain amount out of pocket. Luckily I got GAP insurance and my car wasn't totaled. I will be getting it back the 23rd assuming I can pay the deductible when it's repaired.
So Here's What Happened
First off, let me preface by saying, I'm the kind of person that'll sit in a car for a whole 10...15 minutes making sure it's clear before I go, and I wouldn't have gone if I knew I didn't have space. I JUST got out of work, I'm tired, and being trained for my promotion. It's around 1PM, traffic was terrible. So I sit in my car watching and waiting to get into the intersection. When it was clear enough, I turned, however the truck in front of me stopped abruptly. I ran into them and it ended up crumpling my hood, destroying my compressor and A/C. Again, I'm lucky my car wasn't totaled, tbh it looked worse than it was. Most of it was me being shaken up.
That being said, my insurance did cover a rental for $40 a day. The shit thing about that, however... They set me up with a car that had a flat. I drove it for two days and the tire deflated fast. Bad luck, huh.
Yeah, so that happened...
It's not only that. Money's tight as it is, but I'm also missing three days of work for my friend's wedding, having to cram the rest of my videos for promotion, and having to sell some of my stuff. So I'm going to be pretty busy for a while, making sure I'm not going under.
That being said, I WILL be moving into my own apartment after I get that pay raise, but I will have to be wary, because if they don't bump me up at least two dollars or $2.50, I'll have to transfer to another store that will. It's gotten to the point that my GM (General Manager) and a manager that's going to be a GM soon had said their selves "Overworked, underpaid" and "You work 6 days a week." At one point one of my managers asked me "Do you even HAVE a day off?" The answer is no, but to quote one of my managers "That's what happens when you're good at your job."
tl;dr: Shit hit the fan but I gotta keep moving and I kinda hate life because of how stressful things just got. But I'll make it and I'll strive.
