Sooo..... here we are again.
If you read my blog from Dec. 9th you read that I got a new job. I was ecstatic that I was going to be able to work midnight shifts for a day trader 4 nights a week sending out sms text alerts and maybe even eventually take over his sms text alert business. I am very sad to say that the job did not turn out as expected.
I started the new job and it was fairly easy for me. My new boss and I communicated via yahoo messenger. We would get online at midnight and at the end of every hour he would check with me and let me know how the market was doing and what trades he would be making so I could send out the sms text alerts to the clients. The conversations never got very personal and he was very business-like. He sent me tons of information regarding taking over the sms side of his business and even log-in info to the accounts. I was put on a set salary and could only work in conjunction with him. He has to be online in order to tell me what to do. I thought this was a very good chance for me to run my own business and also be able to do other things that God may have for me like touring with "Oversold".
My new boss said he would pay me bi-weekly. My first payday would be on Christmas Eve and he would pay me $1,500 for my first 2 weeks of work. I mentioned to him that I am in a bad position financially and broke since losing my prior job and asked if he would pay me $500 after one week of work. He said he would do that with all payments sent through paypal by his sister. He (his sister) paid me $100 ($96.32 after paypal deducted fees for their service) on time- as a test payment. I wrote both he and his sister emails immediately and said let them know the test went through and it was okay to send the rest. Today is Christmas Eve and I still have not gotten another payment. He has not responded to several emails, has not been online during work hours, has not responded to voicemails or text messages at all. Today I was expecting to have enough money to be able to pay my rent on the 1st.
I am just at a total loss. How could someone do this to me? and right at Christmas time when it is impossible to get a new job and get paid in time to pay my rent?
I was unable to go home (to Florida) for Christmas with my family due to losing my original job. I will be here in Los Angeles spending it alone. I feel quite depressed right now to be honest. It's not that I think God will not provide... it's that someone could do this to me. It feels so personal.
I still have a teeny tiny bit of hope that he will come through. I am hoping he will have a good story of why he just disappeared, he will pay me, and this great new job can continue. I do believe anything can happen. That little bit of hope is dwindling though.
I know God will provide even in the midst of this. I don't know how yet... but He has proved to me in the past that He can and will.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I will post an update if anything happens.
