Ridiculous. That is the only way I know to describe the way things have panned out for me. I've been working this job or that job since I was 15, younger if you include the veggie and juice stands at my grandmother's. I've always worked... and yet I find myself broke constantly. Many times I've worked two jobs, at least once I was working three. Don't ask me how I did it but I made it work because I had to. I'm not getting any younger and yet now I find myself in that same place again. Too many bills coming in and I'm getting anywhere BUT ahead in the game. And that's all it is to, a game. I'm to the point now where every time I get paid I have to take out an advance to cover my bills, so that's 550 behind consistently on a two week basis. On top of that I was so overjoyed to discover on Wednesday that I have such incredibly bad credit that Wells Fargo will not even let me open a savings account with them. REALLY?? WTF?!? Yep, my credit is so bad I am forbidden to open a savings account and actually save money. WOW. Paint me friggin stunned. So back to selling everything I own, which is of course all worthless crap to anyone but me. Sold my Blackjack phone that I got from AT&T right before they sent me a 2000 dollar bill for texts and internet after I told them to switch me to a higher rate plan... but of course they didn't thus the insanely large bill, and they continued to basically call me a liar and say I had to pay it anyway. So of course I just dropped their service, didn't pay and got a new phone with someone else. But anyway, I finally sold the Blackjack.. which I think I had only been holding on to so because I liked using it so much and it made a fairly decent paperweight. Got just enough money for it to pay my cox bill. Who by the way, are just what their name suggests. Really? 4.99 to talk to a real live person? As if their advice or customer service is ever really good enough to justify a fee at all let alone one of 4.99. I guess I could have gotten a second job ages ago, after all I've had every other week off for almost the last two years... So now its at a culmination of my not wanting to do it and the bills consistently coming in with no regard whatsoever to the condition of my bank account. Applying for part time jobs with flexible schedules... yay life.
