Well, arguments with my mother over this living situation are growing more frequent and I'm starting to wonder how much longer it can last. The problem is, however, that I had a very narrow (i.e. a few weeks long) window in which I could have done a real move. That window is long past and I can't afford to move now even if I did have a job waiting for me, especially now that work has cut my hours down to 20 hours/week. Problem is that only some of the problems I'm having here have to do with living with family. A number of them would be problems no matter who I lived with. I'm used to and much prefer living by myself where these things are not a problem. My mom claimed that by moving here I'd have fewer worries and so would be able to concentrate more on the whole moving on with my life thing. Dear god! I have so many more things to worry about here than I did there, it's fucking ridiculous. I should have just stayed in Athens.
Taxes are due in 4 days, I'm going to owe about $1600, and my February work check has still not arrived. Without it I can't even pay my fucking taxes. Did they send it to the Athens address and it get lost in the forwarding? Did it get here and someone who picked up the mail lost it around the house? Is it still en route? Who knows! If it doesn't come in time then this will be the third time this job has caused me a major financial problem. Unfortunately, my flight benefits will run out in either May or August and I'd like to use them while I can so finding a second job or replacement job is not an option since finding one that would offer the flexibility on time that I need that the current one offers is, well, completely impossible. I've considered temp agencies, but the two temp jobs I've had before only paid $7/hour and were the most mind-numbing and boring work I've ever done. 'Course with the reduced hours I can't really afford to travel anyway!
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!
