Well, the phone job (Plan A) is on life support. I waited until thirty minutes before the deadline to call it a defeat. I called in ready to withdraw my consideration, but to her credit, my supervisor said (essentially) "Don't be too hasty." She was willing to give me extra time to get my information in, but the final decision was up to corporate who I have to call in the morning. So, life support.

My money still hasn't made it through the financial pipeline, so that's a problem. Besides the water issue, my internet bill is coming due, which may not seem like a pressing matter, but if I want to get anything done in the job hunting, email, and/or document scanning realms without going elsewhere or typing out cover letters on my phone, it's a good resource to have.

Speaking of phones, my phone service ends tomorrow, which will definitely make applying for employment just that much harder.

Finally, food. Specifically milk, juice, bread, rice, soup, fresh fruit and veg and generally anything that's not cuts of meat. I need some carbs in my diet!

I can solve many of the problems if I just had the means and the people with the means to help either just tell me "That sucks." and walk away or, if you're my father, feel like they've fulfilled their obligation to help by funding the (at the moment) irrelevant "What if?" Car insurance trumps job search apparently.

It's enough to make you believe in vengeful gods punishing wayward souls for some unknown transgressions.

It's like I'm this poor guy!
