Good luck, cielpur. I hope you get all you need to make it through the month.

Don't worry about it Seesaw. Sorry to hear you're in the same boat. I went to the grocery store today to buy food and was over what I could afford, and so I told the grocery store clerk to just void my purchases and walked out of the grocery store. But a woman came out running after me shouting, "come back! The woman standing in line behind you wants to pay for your food!" So, i humbly walked back into the grocery store, thanked the woman, then burst into tears. She gave me a hug and I pretty much cried the entire drive home.

Thanks Hairball for your kindness! I'm mad that I'm in this situation, because I only have myself to blame for being stuck in temp-limbo instead of secure in a nice full-time job, vulnerable to the whims of temp agency branch managers and contract supervisors' personalities. People who have never been in this situation have no idea how scary it is. I see homeless people with signs while I drive to the library to use their computers to look for jobs, and my heart sinks because I can't even help them!
