I am still here. Been a tough week. Weight unknown. Rough period, been sick for a long time, hurt rib, tough to sleep. Never feel rested.

Work is weird. They just let go someone who had 24 years of experience in a really hard to learn computer system. She was the one who did almost all of our extremely high dollar claims. The knowledge we lost due to the lack of documentation for this stupid system is unknown. I surmise she was let go (from the context) because she was working off the clock.

Did they stop to think or ask why she felt like she had to work off the clock? Did they stop to think how our team would be affected?

Idk, but they canned her anyway.

Anyone could be next.

I am heartbroken for her, and scared myself because I am generally a loud mouth fuck up. I have no where near the level of knowledge that she had.

If they weren't paying for school I would try to shamble somewhere else that has a better culture.

Or better yet, just care for mom until she passes. Play games. Read. Quality time and not worry about the future.

I hate that I struggle with basic tech stuff. I am having problems getting into one of the classroom systems for school. They keep sending authentication to my work email, which i cannot be on if I am not working and I cannot be working on school when I am working. Catch 22.

Add new terror to my dieting experience.

Overeating, although a conditioned response, is still my go to. I weighed over 300 pounds, it was my go to for a very long time. I am trying to overcome that BS but it is a struggle.

But... for today, I am going to do what I can. Stand at my desk. Hopefully get some good steps in and go to jiu jitsu class.

I had a delightful salad for lunch and just whipped up an apple cider yogurt dip thing that I am planning to use with apple cinnamon rice cake bites. Just plain nf Greek yogurt & sf apple cider mix.

Last night's dinner was chicken & asparagus risotto, which had rice in it. Idk that i knew that when I bought it but I ate it.

I worked out to beat off the stress from the school problem. (And to try to stay "in habit" because I have a hard time with habits. Prolly she to undiagnosed ADHD. )

Paycheck to paycheck

[somerandomg33k]

My payday routine

Well, it is payday. And each payday, I look at all three bank accounts and check on what are my upcoming subscriptions and other payments that will charged to the cards within the next two weeks. Before my next payday. Sadly, I have $470 available to me for the next two weeks. And that is barely any money to give to my five disabled friends that all regularly need money in order to live. Or get by. Or survive. This is going to be a long two weeks.

On a similar note to that last reblog - I desperately need some funds to get my credit card debt under control. I’m incredibly embarrassed about the level it’s reached, which is why I’m starting with sharing it here, mostly anonymously. I totally understand if most people just roll their eyes and keep going, but I’m hopeful there will be some kind people out there willing to help. Thank you in advance.

Broke again

Well, I got paid at 1 am this morning via direct deposit. And I am broke already. Combination of light paychecks this payday and last payday. And several of my friends needing money for various things. This next two weeks will be rough for me.

Jobby Job Usually derived from the fact you live paycheck to paycheck. Your Hobby becomes a source of side-hustle income that you tend to rely on. It no longer simply acts as a way to relax and gain enrichment as a human. “Nah, that’s not a serious vendor, someone with a Jobby. If they’re still here and selling in 3 years, then they’re serious.” “I like to crochet, but it becomes my Jobby in…
