This morning, I got up for my damned-early work (7?!), got ready, got in my car, and.... it was making unhappy noises. VERY unhappy noises. And as I rolled down the street and onto the Parkway I realized... my tire had finally given up the ghost.
I drove to work on the rim. I know, not good. I hoped it could be salvaged. It turned out it couldn't be. So there I was, stuck in Monroeville with less than no money to my name (my bank account has nothing left in it, less than nothing, and I have got to get PAID tomorrow or I'm doomed), a disabled vehicle, and I couldn't even put the spare on because the lug nuts were too tight.
Luckily, my mother let me use her credit card to get a new tire put on, so now my vehicle is working, and I'm more in debt to my family than ever. With no real responses to my applications yet, except for one hopeful that I can't schedule because Kaufmann's "schedules made by Thursday" policy is fucking bullshit, I'm not exactly rolling in it. Nor will I be.
Seems that for the third year straight, I won't be having a Christmas. I can't afford presents for anyone, and I don't expect to get any, so why even bother? At least I may not work this year. That's what I did the last two years. Christmas will just be another day off.
Yes, I'm cynical, bitter, cranky, and generally fed up with life. Deal!
