So, been out of work a couple months, just went back, so trying to make ends meet until paycheck, in next few weeks.
I thought I was gonna have me some brussels sprouts for dinner, since the cupboards are so bare. I dumped them into the water, then took off my reading glasses. Oh sh!t These are peas! :(

Oh well, it's just all part of the big test.

Yes, but I had to disconnect the home phone...actually, I had to let them disconnect it, and I told them I would turn it back on, and pay my bill, when able again. Frankly the cable company has been gracious with me. I owe them big time. If it weren't for them, I would have gone nutz...can you imagine, no internet, no cable tv, all the while being unemployed?
There are only certain hours you can apply for jobs, and at first, I tried to sleep the other time. I just realized I was getting more depressed. :(

No, I have the job. The b1tch is trying to get thru two months without a paycheck, until payday, which is the 10th of next month.

Oh, well. Americans will survive. I have 6 packs of Ramen, and I figure if I break them in half, the two cans of Tomato soup, and the can of tuna I have will carry me. I also have a bag of noodles, but I have not figured out what kind of a sauce I can make with condiments yet.

that first pay check is always a sweet one. i suggest you cash it and receive it all in cash to roll around in and admire for a day before you pay your bills lol

Seriously, man, if you're that broke, PM your address and I'll mail you a case of Ramen. You need to eat. Although Ramen's not healthy, it's still food to get you through. Seriously, that's terrible to worry about food :(

been there, hear ya

There was one winter break during my college years in which I was dead broke. Everyone had left for the break and I was in a friend's apartment. I actually dug thru in the back of the couches to get some change and bought some Ramen noodles - which I rationed out to myself. Was I happy when the cafeteria reopened ...

I detested Ramen noodles ever since and was pretty sure that I'd never eat them again

O how wrong I was :D Been broke a few times after that and Ramen, as much as I hate it, saw me thru.

OK, but you have over two weeks 'till payday. If it makes ya feel any better, consider it a loan. My offer still stands.

I'm out of a job, yet I still feel fearless...for the next two months anyways. Actually enjoying my time off and planning a trip to vegas within the month. Always held two jobs and did nothing but work work work, glad I finally have some time to sit back, relax, and do things I actually enjoy and want to do. I'm living on the edge, yo! lol :p

No use stressing about things outside my control, right? BTW, if the debt collectors come knocking on my door tell them I died a horrible accident just yesterday, k?

Good to know you have that $50 Shell card to get you by. Don't forget to use your airmiles card!
