Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ohhhhhhhhhh, dignity. No, still confused. Why would anyone want to preserve that?
BWAH! Not me!! does the can-can
Please to be distracting the snarly goth.
Not goth, but pretty rugby men looking ferocious.

Awww! Isn't he all cute and angsty. Quick, let's dress him up and take him to goth night.
I think I want to ignore work and go read HP fic by Fay.

Totally non-blow job related (though job related) semi-meltdown.
How the hell are we going to be able to afford this whole me-not-working for a while thing? There had been a potential work from home opportunity on the horizon, but that officially fell through today due to their lack of funding. In theory, my current position has made mutterings about me coming back after the baby, but nothing concrete, so I can't count on there being any income from me. My original plan was to save up while working so that there'd be a pad, but between my bedrest early on, exhaustion, always being at the damned doctor's office, and server issues that've meant days with no work, I haven't had a 40 hour week in forever, so there hasn't been enough extra to pad savings.
We could, one supposes, cancel the plans to get the windows replaced with the tax refund, but frankly, they're a safety issue for non-adults, which is why we're planning on doing it now rather than waiting and hoping to at some point be able to afford it.
Argh. I hate this. I hate that we're stuck in this house, where we have so much to do before we could even realistically expect to sell it and move to a cheap apartment somewhere.
I hate that I'm not in a position where I have a job to go back to after X amount of time off, that I don't have vacation time to cash in, that I haven't had vacation time to cash in since 2001, and all the rest. And I've been trying to not think about this, because worry isn't especially good for me, but damn it, I can only keep the thoughts filtered out for so long before I have to actually deal.

Things will be ok.
What kind of state disability will you get? Can you feasibly live off of Paul's income?

None, and not really.

Plei, I know it's no help at all, but I've been feeling pretty "I'm so financially screwed" lately, too.
Especially with losing this most recent temp assignment, tax time coming up in a matter of two weeks, rent, and obscenely large bills coming due really soon.
I hope things work out for you.
