KO-FI HEREĀ | DIRECT PAYPAL
So. Thereās a lot to unpack here
Recently, I left a position at my previous job to take up something more seasonal, but pays well. My intention behind this is it would help me make enough to be able to move, essentially, across the country by the end of January. This job came through a temp agency, and while they did communicate information to me about the position, there was a misunderstanding on the details and the needs of the position.
However, regardless on whether or not they provided enough for me to understand just what I was agreeing to, or if I just entirely ignorant- the job did not meet my needs, and what I could handle. It was essentially a warehousing position, standing in one spot for 10 hours.
So, I did leave this job and have been consistently and rapidly applying to as many jobs as I have been able to. I have been applying to stuff I am well overqualified, under-qualified for, and everything in between. Although, I have mainly been doing temporary shifts to make up wages until I could get a call about another job.
I have also been applying to many jobs down in the state that I intend to move to.
As of now, I am going to an interview on Tuesday for a part-time barista position, and I will also spend majority of today and Monday (November 18th & 19th) visiting businesses in person to try to find work as well. However, these are not guaranteed, and every day I am not working, I am losing money.
Now, with the temporary work, I could have made up my wages despite the number of hours Iād have to work (upwards towards 45-50, compared to the 38-40 Iād usually need). However, on my way to another shift this morning, I realized my car was making worse noises than it has recently (the diagnostics I got on it were something like needing new shocks/struts, and all tires replaced). While it isnāt an immediate, absolute necessity to fix and could go a while, I have put off getting my car repaired for over a month purely from not having the money to pay the mechanics.
I did cancel my shift last minute out of concern, and because of a previous issue I had with a shift and cancelled last minute (less than a month ago), I was put on a week suspension, which means I have no access to the shifts I had lined up for the next 7 days.
I cannot, cannot, CANNOT do this. I do NOT have anyone who can help me or lend me money. Previously, Iāve asked my family, but because of tensions with everyone and their financial hardships as well, I have no options.
I am doing my best to find work as fast as I can, but I have no guarantee how fast thatāll come. I do get paid this Friday from my last full-time job (I estimate MAXIMUM of $350, if even that; $120-150 MAX from the temp agency job and $90-110 MAX from the temporary shift jobs I managed to do last week)
However, I have no way of knowing if Iām right until that money comes in. And regardless, I donāt know if thatāll be enough to cover my bills or my food.Ā
I also recently applied for an airport position that I feel FAIRLY confident Iāll get and pays very well with incentives and shift differentials, but because itās an airport, I had to get fingerprinting and detailed background tests. I was told not to expect anything back until late next week, or the week of the 26th.
So, no matter what, I am fucked for an entire week. And I donāt know what do other than what I am. I am going to try to reach out to the community manager to see if I can get the suspension lifted from that temporary work, but I donāt expect it to be.
In the meantime, Iāll do what I can to apply to places and go in person. But, please, if you could spare ANYTHING, please consider either tipping my writing or helping me out!
Ideally, I would need around $600 (what I typically make in a paycheck) to guarantee that all of my bills are paid and I donāt create any issues with my landlord and roommate. However, that also leaves it incredibly questionable on if Iāll be able to afford necessities or groceries.
Groceries tend to run me about $40-60, because I ration out food for two weeks andā¦ I just honestly canāt afford to eat a ton. At best, I manage two meals a day. But, I also have to pay for prescriptions and certain vitamins (iron, b12, vit-d) because of deficiencies.Ā
I do not expect to get anywhere near $600, but I do need to have enough for groceries, the electric/internet, and the car insurance ($40-60 groceries; $95-105 electric/internet; $125 car insurance)Ā I am hoping that Iāll have a job by the middle of this week to make sure the beginning month expenses are covered on my part.
If nothing else, please at least consider helping me with my groceries so I can eat lmao.
If I manage to find something before the middle of the week, Iāll make sure to remove this post from my blog.
IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE WHAT I CAN. IF YOU CAN, PLEASE HELP ME OUT! AND IF YOU CANāT, P L E A S E REBLOG IT TO HELP IT GET AROUND.
