I don't like whining, but I think I need to whine for the sake of my sanity. Please excuse the following.
Despite applying to ~10 jobs I'm qualified for every week, follow-up has been slim to none. As of earlier this month, I was already barely going to be able to make rent this month, but on my way back from babysitting a 1-year-old on the other side of the state I locked my keys in my car, and had to pay a week's wages to get my keys out. Once on the road, I got a ticket for going exactly 5 over in a marked "construction zone", in which construction had long been finished and no workers or equipment were present... local law doubles or quadruples the fine for construction zones, so who knows how much the ticket will be. Effectively, what little money I was hoping to cover rent with has now vanished, just as the end of the month is on me.
Financial Aid has screwed over my university plans once again due to a course withdrawal mishap, resulting in 6k of debt that needs to be paid off before I can attend again, ruining any plans I have for returning to school before Winter 2014... and to top it all off, after putting in notice that I'd be leaving my awesome but poor-paying library job in exchange for extra hours and better pay at my crappy Shipping and Receiving job, I go in today only to find that the position that was offered was filled by more applicants than expected, and the hours promised are no longer available.
TL;DR: I'm more impossibly broke than I was before I started working multiple jobs, have no prospects to return to university for years, am nearly without a home, cannot afford transportation, spend every other night in serious pain, and the only parent willing to take me in lives an hour's trip away from what job prospects and friends I have.
This would all be comically bad, if it wasn't happening right now.
