So I found out today that the job
I was counting on to pay my bills for the next couple of months isn't going to be employing me at the rate I expected. In other words, instead of the twenty hours a week I was expecting, I'm going to be getting five.

Granted I make a little more than the average person, but 20 hours a month isn't going to do it for very long.

I really feel the need to go home, curl up in a ball, and lay there in my own self pity for a couple of hours.

And I share this with you knowing full well that there isn't anything you can do for me. I just wanted to vent I guess.

2. I haven't been employed for a couple of months
(all summer in fact), but I was pinning all my hopes on the fact that I'd have this job to tide me over while I worked out other plans.

It's a really big let down.

Thanks for the hug, here's one back :hug:

3. venting is good
and people truly care. i think you're entitled to a pity party. don't feel guilty if you indulge.

5. I'm going to indulge as much as I
can. Then I'm going to pick myself back up, dust myself off, realize that even with the meager amount of money I've got coming in I make more than people who aren't working, and get back to it.

After all, what else is there?

Q3JR4.
Currently seeking a comfortable rent-free couch.

I'm unemployed, and my UE bennies are being challenged. It sucks!

The way I figure it, if I'm going to wallow in my own misery I might as well do it with people I like.
