Well...Update. TL;DR We're probably losing our job but there's still a reason to celebrate.

Hello everyone.
I hope you're all doing well and that you have had a great morning/day/evening. Whichever is applicable.

I just got in from work. I'm off crutches and now in an air cast boot thing. Walking boot. After bending over backwards and jumping through hoops to try to get this backdated doctor note, I have failed. Not only have I failed to get it, but Kinlee said she was gonna have to point me for the days missed. She held off incase I was able to get the backdated doctor note. But because I'm not, she has to point me. This pretty much means I've lost my job. A few friends said I should take it to HR. Our HR lady was the one who told me last time I brought a doctor's note in that doctor's notes don't cover you. #Whatagreatplacetowork. 🙄

So hopefully, your day is at least going better than mine. Although. I woke up today, I have an apartment to come home to, and I'm not a starving homeless person. So that plus my meds should be enough reason for me to smile. Just bummed about losing my job... But I guess at least I had a job to lose... I know a lot of people will probably tell me to stop bitching and that I brought this on myself. Wouldn't be the first to tell me that. Won't be the last.

On the bright side... I'm off crutches. Thank God. The boot is easier and less painful. Everyone is betting I'll be back on my feet (lol punny) in a few weeks :3

Also on the bright side... Today is day 3 without self harm or taking prescription opioids to get that high, warm, fuzzy and relaxed feeling... and almost month 4 without swallowing a razor blade or any other type of suicidal shit.

I know, I know... I shouldn't be celebrating shit like this because I should have 'outgrown' such 'Emo teenage bullshit' 🙄 Shut up and let me have this. Yes. I've actually been told this...

Anyways. Hope you all find a reason to smile. I'm taking my stupid ass for a post work snooze.

soooo if you get fired, will your disability go up to keep you afloat at least? What are the stakes here?

JadedJekyll · F

@BlueVeins I don't believe so. I'll have to get another job.

I'm gonna be okay. I think. I have food stamps and my SSDI. I'll probably get better health insurance now that I won't be working. At least until I get another job. I know it was only 12 hours a week but still. Those little pay checks between the SSDI checks helped make ends meet. Rent is expensive as are bills.

@JadedJekyll Of all things, I'd imagine the Uber trips bite deep into your budget. Have you ever done a spending breakdown to see how it all works out?

JadedJekyll · F

@BlueVeins Oh, the uber is ridiculous. I spend 11-12 dollars one way. So 22-24 dollars a day x 3 days a week would be 66-72 dollars a week. Take that and x that by 4 weeks a month and get 266-284 a month. That's basically two paychecks.

Then the cell bill which is 102 dollars.
The net bill, which is 90.
The electric bill, which is all over the place because this is an all electric apartment.

And then my rent, which is 615.

And then bunny food, groceries, bunny bedding to clean the cages with, household items...

It adds up.

@JadedJekyll Well, at least rent is doin' you a solid. I'm hunting for apartments now and I'm afraid my rent is gonna demolish me from the get-go.

JadedJekyll · F

@BlueVeins I'm actually thankful that she's keeping the rent the same for one more year before they raise it on me. They usually keep it the same the first two years you live here, but this would be the third for me lol.

I don't know, I got a good deal here. A one bedroom deluxe apartment for 615. I saw what the standard one bedroom looks like and it's like comparing a Volkswagen beetle to a bus. Lol.

Best of luck on apartment hunting, darling.

@JadedJekyll Wait, you're telling me that the owner just raises the rent the longer people live there? That's really slimy.

JadedJekyll · F

@BlueVeins Yeah overtime there's a rent increase...
