Mal ,'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am so fucking tired of the fucking money running out two or more days before the next check comes. I am sonfuckin tired of checks coming whenever they fucking well feel like it, and not when I need them. I am so FUCKING ANGRY AT MY FUCKING ROOMMATE who STILL has not paid me rent for august or September.
I can't fucking feed myself. I can't fucking put gas in my tank. I'm really pretty pissed off right now.
If your roommate owes you two months' rent, they can damn well buy you a tank of gas and some groceries.
He's not around right now, and even if he was he doesn't have any money. He works in sales and hasn't made any money in two months.
He's made sales recently, and says he'll be able to pay both months some time this week. But that does me zero good until then, since I cannot eat a promise, nor fill my tank with it.
Sean, will I see you at HHN tonight? I can give you a wee bit of cash.

Thanks Drew. Right back at you, man.
laga, I will be there tonight. I'll talk to you then.
*sigh*. Well, it could be way worse, so whatevs.
It sure is nice to have a job to go to.
Seriously. I was talking to my dad not too long ago, and we were talking about ways to generate more work, but I had to remind him that I'm one of the lucky ones - I'm getting work. And while we came up with some strategies for trying to generate more work, I told him there may not be much more work to be found. That it's not just about how hard I'm trying to find it. That's how pervasive this meme of "people who don't have jobs are just lazy" is - it can sneak up even on people who otherwise know better.
