Because of my dad I guess I’m no longer fit to have a dog so someone should just take her from me since I can’t care for her like I’m supposed to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Scheduling

So I’m trying to come up with a good schedule for streaming. I would be posting this on Patreon but it isn’t just an art thing but.. What do you guys think about this?

--

Mocha Mondays

every Monday

main art streams

may include commissions streams

Overwatch Wednesdays?

every Wednesday

Overwatch (duh??)

Techie Thursdays/Tuesdays?

Every week

tech based streams

most likely related to coding

maybe small tech tutorial streams?

Small Stream Saturday

Every other week??

small artwork like page banners, icons, etc

--

Feel free to reply or send me a message about what you guys think. Most likely all streams will be in the evening, although Saturdays I may do mid-afternoon streams? But I’m not sure. But let me know what times you think would be best.

Job Update

I desperately need to leave my current job. Since my car accident last July, and since finally getting to return back to work in November, it feels like everything has gone downhill. When I came back to work in November, I was put in a different department with fewer hours (25 instead of my previous 31). Even with those fewer hours, my manager would schedule me rather ridiculously - at one point I was scheduled to work 8 days in a row. It was too difficult for me to work schedules like that because of the injuries I sustained from the car accident. As such, my parents implored me to talk to my manager and ask him to schedule me for no more than 4 days in a row. I did talk to him and he was very understanding. But the next thing I knew, he had dropped my hours down to 20 and was only scheduling me for 4 days a week. According to one of my coworkers, he misunderstood my request to be no more than 4 days a week - which was definitely not what I said. I and others have talked to my manager, but he refuses to give those 5 hours back to me. All the while, a particular coworker has been treating me like absolute crap and raising my anxiety levels way too high. I've gotten sick with Upper Respiratory Infections 3 times since returning to my job, the third one I'm trying to get over now. But the increased stress and anxiety is making me get sick more often than I ever have, which makes me lose hours, which makes me lose pay... So, I'm desperately trying to find a new job. One that pays well enough for me to live off of. My current lease ends at the end of April and I currently don't make enough to keep living in an apartment, especially because at the end of this lease, I won't have a roommate to help split the rent costs with. Yes, I could move back in with my dad, but that creates whole new complications. My dad is abusive and one of the reasons my anxiety is as bad as it is, so I'll be living in a high stress environment. And also my dog, Freya, an emotional support animal, will be forced to live outside, which *completely* defeats the purpose of having an emotional support animal. I could keep going but, suffice it to say, I currently don't make enough to survive, I can't go back to live with my dad, and, to top it all off, all of my job applications so far have fallen through. So, as much as I hate to ask, if anyone could spare a dollar or two to help out, I really would appreciate it. I barely make enough money for gas and dog food, much less enough to feed myself... My PayPal is [email protected] if you want to donate. Unfortunately I don't really have the time or energy to do commissions, so I can't really give you anything in return. But if you would like to donate, I would appreciate it more than you could know.

Update on the job thing...

So as far as I know, about 71 people applied for the same job that I did. Out of those 71, they chose people they thought fit their needs and asked them to come in for an interview. I was one of them.

After they interview all those candidates, they use the notes from the interviews to, again, see who they believe is qualified and set up another interview.

Repeat above.

There’s 3 possible interviews total and I’ve got one down as of yesterday. So within a week or so, if I hear back from them, I’ll be scheduling interview #2.

Please keep sending good vibes. I feel like my interview went really well, and I’ve been told before that I interview well and I have a good handshake, so I’m really hoping to make it through all the interviews.

But for now, I’m celebrating that I made it past the first weeding out, so to speak, and I hope I keep making it through.

So my hours have been cut at work to where it’s very difficult to support myself and my dog (who is an emotional support animal). I need to get a better job, but a lot of the nice clothes I bought in order to go job hunting and look good for an interview I’ve been scrambling to return so I could make rent yesterday. I was $2 short.

But then I checked my PayPal account and there was $23 there I didn’t realise I had. After a lot of struggling, I managed to get some of the money from PayPal into my bank account last night and pay rent in full.

After that, I thought I would go to target and get a few items with a $5 gift card I had and. .. well… I thought I had managed to get everything just right in my spending yesterday but… somewhere, something went wrong.

I’m going to have about a $5 charge to my PayPal, which will then go to my bank, and then all of my accounts are going to overdraft. :/

If you would like to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Another Update:

So my situation just.. keeps getting worse and worse... (See this post if you haven’t seen what else has been going on)

I was on my way to Sonic with my dog around 11 to try to grab some food because I had a gift card (and that late because I hadn’t eaten since around 3), aaaaand my car died.

After a long time of trying to jump my car myself in an empty parking lot, I got Roadside Assistance to come. They managed to jump my car but, apparently, my alternator is dying. Enough to where I wouldn’t have been able to make it home. Luckily my roommate - who’d been out of town all day - managed to get there and he took me and my dog home.

So in the morning I have to figure out how to get my car to a shop and whether or not I’ll have my car back in time to go back to work on Thursday. Which means this week’s paycheck might be a bit slim...

Anyway, a new alternator for my car is anywhere from $150 - $210 apparently and my car, after all the crap it’s been through, is only worth $300 to the insurance company. I’m really not sure if the car is worth keeping at this point. :/

So.. yeah... That’s where I’m at... If you’d like to donate to help me get through.. all this mess... I would greatly appreciate it.

Anyone have any tips for how to get a cane to not hurt my hand? I’ve got a temporary disability (banged my knee up bad about a month ago and now I have to walk around with a cane) and as much as I have to use the cane, the handle is starting to cause some seriously deep pain in the base of my hand. Will wrapping the handle help? A glove (I was looking at wheelchair gloves for a bit but I’m not sure)? I just need help ‘cause I don’t know how I can alleviate this strain on my hand.
