I manage to drop another pound. I'm calling this my coffee diet. That's all I've been living off of. Just ten more pounds for my first goal. It's a good thing I'm a coffee addict.
I need to find a job, fast. If I don't by next month I'm going to be kicked out and living on the streets. Awesome! (all kinds of sarcasm with that awesome) Problem with this town, when you are homeless you have no place to go. No shelters no nothing. But I guess that's what you get when you live in a town of just a hair over 16,500 people living in it. Not enough homeless people to bother helping. I don't even know if there is any homeless here. Hopefully I find something. Being homeless in -20 to -30 weather isn't my idea of fun. So I ended up spending the night tossing and turning. Got maybe if I'm lucky two hours sleep. And it's not that I haven't been looking. Just few places are hiring and they aren't calling me after I apply. I'm applying everywhere, even if they aren't hiring. Because you never know. I've gotten calls in the past from places that weren't hiring when I applied. Once I get that job I'm saving every penny for first and last month rent and I'm out of here. Once I find a job I'll be paying $500 a month just for my room in this house. That's not including everything else. That's just crazy. I can pay less (about $400-$450) in this town for a whole apartment. And some of them includes water and power with that. And it's not like it's a bad neighborhood because bad neighborhoods don't exist in this town. The "bad" neighborhood here is the one I'm living in now! And trust me after living almost a decade in a really big city in the South, this neighborhood is Mr. Rogers neighborhood in comparison to the one I lived in down South. Let's just say down there while jogging in my area one night I ran into two robbers. I mean literally we ran into each other. And the search helicopter was out every night. And few shootings literally in the alley behind my house. And cops always chasing people down, which they seemed to love running threw my backyard. So, yeah to me this town doesn't have a bad neighborhood. They say where I'm living at now is bad because there is one or two druggies here. And that's it. Anyways, I had to get that off my chest.
yay! awesome job dropping the weight! :)! And i really hope you are able to find a job soon! living on the streets will not be fun! I totally understand, the only reason my parents are letting me stay on rent free is because I told them my 'plan for the next stage of life' was to go to grad school, and I'll be going in the fall even though I really don't like school that much, but finding work has been impossible especially with a degree like Anthropology... but hey, I enjoyed learning the stuff so I guess it's ok, lol. but anyway, i'm really keeping my fingers crossed you find a job soon! and keep up the good work with the weight loss!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad their letting you stay. It wouldn't matter to mine if I was going to school. They would just say quiet and get a job. I say if you want to learn it, and you can, you should! Even if you think it won't help you find work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, yeah I should go and apply at places today but it's pouring ran and walking (no car so I bike or walk everywhere) around with applications wouldn't be a good idea. I don't think they would want a soggy piece of paper. But I think I might apply online to some places instead.
Thanks, the weight loss has been encouraging to me to keep going. Good luck to you too!
So, what are you doing exactly? Just drinking coffee or eating as well?
