When the S H * T hits the fan

Grrrrr..... It is funny how one day I can be going to an Evanescence concert (which was the most awesome experience ever) and loving life one day, and the very next be completely run over with financial responsabilities...

First let me start off with the positive! Evanescence rocked, totally! I enjoyed the entire evening!!! I was kind of upset that a new found friend withdrew at the last minute, but I understand her reasons, and wish her the best of luck in dealing with her traumas, which right now make mine seem like meer whining... (puts it in perspective) I want her to know that I am here if she needs someone to listen, as a shoulder if she needs to cry, she can scream, stomp, throw a hissy fit, what ever will ease her pain, I am here girl!

Kay, back to the concert... we ended up taking someone I didn't know, who in turn didn't know Evanescence, that blew my mind.  I am sure he didn't truely appreciate her music, but I think he had a good time anyways. The concert was like 4 hours, my throat is still sore from screaming. Afterwards we went downtown Orlando to One Eyed Jacks, a bar with a live band... We, well two of us, danced, and we all drank and had a good ole time! Arriving home at 5 am the next morning I was loving life!

Well, upon waking up at noon (I took an annual leave day) I went into my office to catch up on some paper work. I have been behind since my grandmother had been in the hospital. In balancing mycheck book, and going through my paid bills (waiting to be filed) I noticed that I had no payment for one of my monthly bills, I immediately call to find out if this is so, and I now have a 40$ late fee... for a five day late charge... Again, looking at my check ledger I realize that my car insurance is being automatically deducted the day before payday (with not enough money in my account since I just paid summer and fall tuition.) I move funds from my almost nonexsistant savings account, and whew that went okay.

My anniversary date is listed wrong where I work, I went full time in July when I started, but they weren't sure if they were going to keep me where I was or give me a promotion. So they waited to move my status to full time, UNTIL OCTOBER. For three years now, I have been getting screwed out of like 3 months of raise. On top of this, they raised the starting pay of the position I had before I got the promotion, and they now make the same thing I do and I have been here three years, and I am cross trained. Well just between me and the internet, I am going to put out applications. I may wait until I graduate in December, but I am putting at least one in now. I have had it, I am tired of living pay check to pay check.

I am done ranting for now, I can't stand being dependant on anyone... I hate not being monitarly stable, it affects every aspect of life.  It is always in the back of your mind, nibbling away at what little sanity you have left!
