Money is the devil... And my day job is a demon.
Let's see, I worked my day job today. I have heard that the word JOB stands for Just Over Broke. But in my case, I have a job, and I am still Just Under Broke. It's a JUB. I am a waitress (ha ha, me and every other young, aspiring female in LA without a taste for prostitution) and by the end of my shift, I had a grand total of 10 tables. That's it. AND of course, the electricity bill was due, and the tips from 10 tables did no cut it. I ended up having to resort to selling a bunch of my clothes out of the back of my car in the parking lot outside after my shift. Perhaps I shouldn't complain. I did end up selling enough clothing to pay the bill, and have 4 dirty dollar bills left over (which are now gone, because Scobra and I had to eat). Glorious... Bullsh*t. Now I can't make a meeting tonight that could give RTB a lot of new opportunities because there's a $10 cover for the place we're meeting at. Even cooler... NOT!
The day even started on a tragic note: watching my neighbor get his car towed because even though he paid the outstanding tickets on it, the city didn't have it processed in time for it to count. OH! And did I mention that I actually SHOULD have a few dollars in my bank account, but apparently when I deposit a check, that takes a lot of "processing" time too.
RAAR!
There's more that I could complain about, like how many times a day I get sexually harassed at work... But what's the point?
I'll just keep chuggin' along, like the little engine that hopes to high heaven that she can. And as for all of my complaints, while I feel trampled, I'm not done yet. This little lady has developed a decent pain threshold over the few years that she has existed thus far. I even feel a little silly now, for being such a baby about this. Don't think that I don't know how lucky I am in so many ways. Ah well, I guess that I just needed to vent.
Sorry to whoever read this and thought that I was going to say something more interesting.
El Fin,
