#i've got until the 28th because that's when it gets paid

[castrovulcant]

I deeply appreciate your dr who drives and I'm trying to kick off this anniversary year right. I listened to What Lies Inside and was wondering if you ended up getting Connections? Since it dropped after you did the 8 drive

Seeing the words, "I deeply ap" in my notifications bar at 3am is an absolute trip. Like fuck i momentarily flashed back to all those failed interviews.

I'm sorry, Anon, this is the one boxset I don't have because I didn't realise it was available yet. I grabbed What Lies Inside back in November and Connections wasn't out yet. And I've got to pay over double in Council Tax this month for some reason.

Ask me again in three weeks, I get paid on the 26th, hopefully the £300 in Council Tax won't set me back too much. Big Finish have Connections going for £16.99 but until I know how much I'm getting on the 26th, and how much all my bills will cost, I won't know if I can get it until then.

02/18/24 - New Post

So we were recently blessed with $2,000 to pay bills, get hotel stays covered for the rest of this month/part of March and get food while I wait until the local county office opens to find out why I never got my food stamps. I almost started crying, for real.

I paid off the money my mother owed to PayPal so we can send each other money again (it will take two to three business days for the payment to process, then another day or two for her to regain access to her PayPal account), I paid off/paid down some of the PayPal 4 In 4 payments I needed to make (I've been ignoring them in favor of paying off other things), I got us a room every day from February 28th to March 13th except the 2nd, when we have to go to another hotel (we do that one via the hotel website, and I make sure we pay that one on-site because they charge a $50 fee for anything that might happen to the room that gets refunded after we leave) and I paid off one of my mom's loans down to $21

If we get really lucky, I can take the loan payments we have coming out on the 1st and 3rd and get them paid and not take out any more loans except for my and my mom's MoneyLion ones (I can take those out in increments as needed) and we can get closer to saving up for a down payment on an apartment. But I still have bills to pay. I owe about $500 to PayPal for the 4 in 4 plans still, my mother needs to pay $610 for a credit card bill we thought was under her debt consolidation payment (I'm going to try and add it later, and if they'll take it, then we only need $200 to get it up to date) and we still need to get Lena her glasses (around $150 there, since I pulled out the money for her exam in cash). Plus I will need to get us accommodations on the 13th for the rest of our 28-day stay.

I'm tentatively setting the goal at $2000, which should cover paying off all the bills we need to pay, the glasses, and the later hotel stay. Any help sharing or donating is much appreciated. If we don't have to take out the loans to cover stuff in March we can get the money together in April for a deposit. We're almost there! Thank you!

Hey rem 💖

I just wanted to say thank you and also share my story in case it might help someone who's struggling.

It happened at the end of last month but I was feeling a bit shy so I didn't share it at the time but anyway 💕

I manifestation (revised) getting my 10 days off after my manager told me she couldn’t give it to me.

So where I am from, every month you work, you accumulate 2,5 paid days off and you can chose when to use them as long as you tell the manager before they start making the schedule. I had accumulated 10 but since it was my first job, I did not know and asked for 8 days off. I had asked for those days all the way back in August because I wanted to be sure to have Christmas off.

For personal reasons I decided to resign and leave at the at the end of November but they told me they needed help for the month of December so I decided to stay but asked to get my 8 days vacation. I had asked to be off from the 21st to the 28th but when I realized I could ask for 10 days, I asked to get from the 19th to the 28th off instead. However, my manager told me she could only give me 8 days (from the 19th to the 26th and I would go back to work on the 27th) because I wasn’t supposed to work that month and she had already made the planning and adding my 10 days off would be too much. I resigned myself until I saw that she actually gave me only 4 days. 

I was super mad and I was going to text her about it but 💖 I read your post on revision and how you revise your day to have been better 💖 so I was like: - I want 10 days so I’m getting 10 days on the dates I wanted. - So I affirmed: “I’m so happy I got my 10 days off from the 19th to the 28th and guess what!”

I went to sleep, woke up having totally forgotten about it and then I received the notification that my leave was approved by my other manager from the 21st to the 28th but on my schedule I'm actually off from the 19th to the 28th 🥳. 

All that in less than 24 hours 💖

(I ended up resigning again but a win is a win!!)

Thank you so much for your posts and overall presence on this platform 💕 You've literally helped me so much!!!

Have a good day 💜

yay that's so exciting!! im so glad i've been of help to you <3 i hope you have a wonderful christmas 🤍

First off since this is my first time back on the desktop site in ages I feel the need to say how much I hate the changes that were made. If I wanted to see a website that's like Twitter, it will always be Twitter for me not this fucking X bullshit, I'd log onto my Twitter! Which I never do because I hate the fucking layout!

Also since I'm going to be on here a bit more often, in theory at least, I will not take sides in anything or be involved with drama. I will interact with anyone I connect with or can deal with my slow as fuck ass :P

I also want to thank the two people who have been there for me to talk to about this but I will not tag them because, again, not taking sides. You both know who you are and I appreciate you both more than you'll ever realize <3

Now it's time for an explanation as to why I've been in a shit head space since the end of July which I will put under a read more for those that aren't interested.

On July 30th I was at work and got pulled into the office to talk with my Store Manager, she had a few papers in hand and asked me to sit down. The day before she'd received an email about corporate restructuring and I was being told my full time position with the company was eliminated. I was completely thrown for a loop since I had been working at another store for a few days a week as of the week of July 9th and had only spoken to my district manager a few days prior about what needed to be fixed at the store I was helping. Everything had seemed good when we spoke so I was pretty shaken up by this news.

I was told I could continue on doing my job as part time making $9.75 an hour or take a severance deal and collect unemployment. I of course said I needed to think about it since it was a big decision going from 36-40 hours a week at $16.85/hr down to god knows how many hours at a shit wage. My SM, who was bawling like a baby along with me at this news btw, said she understood but FUCKING CORPORATE wanted an answer by Friday July 28th. The date this conversation was happening? Wednesday July 26th.

Yes, you read that right, Two whole days to make a huge decision and if I didn't give them one in time I was forfeiting my severance and it would be considered voluntary job abandonment so no unemployment for me! Also if I chose the deal I couldn't take any time off, use any of my PTO or sick time, or even call off because it would be considered voluntary job abandonment and I wouldn't get unemployment or my severance.

This happened company wide with even some assistant managers losing their jobs and being offered a similar deal. I will gladly send links to the Reddit subs talking about this if anyone wants to see exactly the fuckery this company is putting its loyal people through. I had almost three weeks of paid vacation and about two days of sick time built up that I lost.

I would have also been with the company for ten years in November and I worked through the worst of Covid being treated like shit by the customers for trying to enforce the company's and CDC's rules. I was also a manager for 7 or so of those almost ten years.

Then on August 1st I had a surgery consultation for a health issue only to be told it's worse that they thought and I would need a procedure that would land me in the hospital for a week with a TWO month recovery time. Thankfully my health insurance, as crappy as it is, is independent from my job so I'm not losing it but whose going to hire someone whose going to have to go out on medical leave in a couple of months? This wouldn't have been a problem before, you know sick time and PTO for the win, but now it is. I know my boss would gladly hire me back after I recovered but it's going to be at a shitty wage with shitty hours.

So do I put my health aside and risk my issue getting worse and try to find another job right away or hope my former company doesn't screw me over anymore and lets me collect until I'm fully recovered?

Thankfully, I won't be homeless but that's another issue for another day.

I'm not looking for sympathy, monetary help, or anything like that. I just felt like I owed the wonderful people I interact with here a proper explanation of to why I've been more out of it than normal.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Love,

Barb

what will the akatsuki do for their s/o's birthday or how will they plan it (this came to me earlier since my 28th birthday is week after next on the 13th of this month i've been busy)

I hope your birthday was an awesome one! Happy late birthday too!

Akatsuki and their S/O’s birthday

-Pain: He’ll probably wait until the evening to take them out somewhere really nice and beautiful. A restaurant with expensive tastes and a night of dancing as well. 

-Konan: She’ll start early with breakfast in bed, and then run a bath for her S/O. She’ll cater to their every need today, and then give them their birthday gift when they least expect it. It’s also wrapped really well too!

-Hidan: Let’s be honest...he probably forgets at first. Later on remembers when he finds the gift he got them earlier that week. Then he immediately wishes them a happy birthday, gives them the gift, smothers them in kisses, and offers to make it a relaxing movie day indoors

-Kakuzu: There are only three times a year he’ll splurge on his S/O (excluding emergencies) and that’s Christmas, Valentines day, and their birthday. And that’s exactly what he does on this day. He takes his S/O out on an extravagant shopping spree. They take advantage of this special day and buy the things they’ve been waiting to get forever because they know his pockets will close up again until the next holiday. Although he hates seeing his dollars leave, he loves seeing his S/O so happy on this day.

-Tobi: Starts with a hand-made present and a letter or appreciation for his S/O. It’s really sweet! He plans out fun little activities like scavenger hunts and pin the tail on the donkey. 

-Zetsu: Bombards his S/O with MANY gifts. Simply because his two sides couldn’t agree on what to get them! Looks like being indecisive finally paid of for the S/O’s sake!

-Deidara: Plans a huge surprise party! 

-Sasori: He’s not much good at planning the birthday out. Every year he has trouble with it! However this year he’ll probably propose to his S/O since he feels they’ve been together long enough 

-Kisame: Takes them out on a nice little picnic near the afternoon. Romantic star gazing at night. They get their gift earlier that day though ^_^

-Itachi: Takes them out to do whatever they wanna do today. Zoo? Sure thing. Breakfast at a diner in the middle of the day time? Hand him a fork. Wanna watch three movies in a row? Go on, pick them out then.
