Time for a change
I am changing the purpose of this blog. It’s not just a music blog anymore. It’s whatever I want it to be. And right now I want it to be about how very unemployed and broke I am.
The number of jobs I’ve applied to since December 30 is now 85. The number of interviews I’ve gotten is 2. The number of jobs I’ve gotten is 0.
The amount of money in my checking account is $5.38. The amount of cash in my wallet is $17. The amount of money in my savings account is $0. The number of credit cards I have is 0.
The number of emails I’ve received from my parents in the last 24 hours is 3. The first was something about how Obama is ruining everything with the health care proposal. The second was a response to an email I had sent about an article in the New York Times that said that women have to communicate differently in the workplace than men do. My dad said the article was wrong and sexist. The third email was about how my parents are not going to give me any money–even though I hadn’t asked for any. It also said that if I attended Bible study, God would bless me more.
What I’m thinking about now: what can I sell? Should I pawn the guitar and amp given to me on an extended loan by one of my friends? (No, I really shouldn’t do that.) Will my cats get sick if I buy them cheep food with some of the remaining $17 in my wallet? When will the websites I’ve written freelance assignments for actually pay me?
How long does it take to get hired at Starbucks? I applied to five stores yesterday.
What the FUCK am I going to do in about four days when I run out of Zoloft???
How soon can the government get my tax refund to me if I do my taxes tomorrow? Will the MTA refund the money left on the metro card I lost, and, if so, how soon, if I call them tomorrow?
Will my cell phone get turned off? What will my roommate do if/when I can’t pay my share of the bills? My share of April’s rent?
FUCK!!!
