Unemployment day 2

Really? A show called shipping wars? What could this possibly be about? The trials and tribulation of putting shit in a truck and driving it? Holy fuck, you have got to be fucking kidding me. I have been watching netflix for so long that I forgot how fucking stupid commercials are and half the shows on tv. Anyone with funny pictures, send them my way, I need some entertainment.

Time- 0916 Apparently the guy fixing the shower thinks that 1100 and 0830 are the same time...

Attire- Sweat pants and a NASA t-shirt commemorating the space program, because, ya know, they got laid off too.

Alcohol- 14 cans of beer, goddamnit I hate light beer. 1" of Soco, 1/3 bottle of rum.

Gas- Half a tank, still good.

Money- 500, Last paycheck cleared and I paid my car payment that was forgotten about last month. Have to start figuring out which bills to pay this month, will probably be car, ins, rent, and phone. I really hate light beer. Those are the most important ones.

Food- Thinking of going to buy some cereal. I could also just try to live on ensure shakes to see what happens, not sure if that would be too expensive though. I have some bacon I can make and some frozen waffles that are covered in ice by now. Did taco's instead of chicken yesterday and ate too much because I was bored. I want pizza and wings, but will need to find someone to split it with first... I wonder which is better, living on cereal or meal shakes?

Smokes- Almost half a carton, didn't have too many yesterday but I found some for 10 a carton so will make a road trip this week sometime to replenish.

Entertainment- Assassins Creed 2 at some point. May try to see how many times I can get drunk and fall asleep in a 24 hour period. Any tips for fun experiments such as that would be appreciated to curb the boredom.

Status- Bored and wide awake. Cheap wings tonight at the bar, but I am worried about spending money. The weekend is coming up and the normal people with jobs may want to do something this weekend and I would like to try and participate. Goddamnit I really, really hate light beer.

Outlook (out of 10)- 6, Spazzed about money, but realize I have to spend some to live and not go completely fucking insane. Some bills will just not get paid regularly for a while, but those will probably just be credit cards, they will live and maybe the apocalypse will happen soon and wipe out all computer and debt records just in time. School starts in a week and a half so that will be something to do a couple nights a week.

Unemployed

Fuck.

Double fuck.

So in the last four weeks, I have shelled out about 1800 in car repairs cause I still am paying for the car and see no other options, forgot to make a car payment last month because I was too caught up in xmas shopping, and I was laid off yesterday. I am already behind on bills and have no savings, no available credit and have used my overdraft protection to fix my car. Fucked doesn't even begin to describe this situation.

I went off my meds a couple months ago and was doing pretty well up until this last couple weeks. Oh, and the first 1000 dollar car repair, my car broke down on xmas night dropping off a friend after a party and the tow truck driver made me walk home a mile from the repair shop at 0500 in the freezing cold, thanks asshole.

I am going to try to keep a running daily update on my unemployment for those playing along at home. The preceding is the groundwork to see where I am starting this off and what will ensue...

Day 1.

1055 and I am already bored. I went to the Union Hall and signed the book and turned in all my paperwork. I have stuff I am supposed to turn in every month and haven't since last April, they looked a little pissed when I dumped it all on them. They told me it could be a couple days, could be a couple months but I am guaranteed to go back to work so at least I have that.

Attire- Jeans and a thermal, only because I had to leave the house to go to the Hall.

Alcohol- I have an inch of Soco, half a bottle of Rum Chata (some cool shit that tastes like cinnamon toast crunch), and 22 cans of beer, but it is light beer cause I was not paying attention and tastes like water. Drank 8 last night before I started to even notice it, I fucking hate light beer.

Gas- half a tank.

Money- technically less than zero but I deposited my last paycheck yesterday and it will pretty much all be gone when I pay the bills I could't last week because of the second car repair that cost 860.

Food- had cheesecake for breakfast and some coffee, lunch/dinner will be my last chicken tit with breading and rice.

Smokes- half a carton.

Entertainment- Netflix or maybe a video game, probably a nap this afternoon.

Status- Sober.

Outlook- (out of 10) 5. I get no paycheck next week and when unemployment kicks in, the nest I can hope for is 405 a week and will be screwed on taxes next year. I usually make 557 a week so this will take some adjusting and figuring. I do have a promise to be back to work at some point and I have student loan money coming in probably near the middle of February. Waiting for papers to come so I can do my taxes, but those won't be here for at least a couple more weeks.
