#im SO TIRED of working paycheck to paycheck

[fflaminlo]

is there anywhere besides twitter or therapy where i can complain about the economy rn

#im SO TIRED of working paycheck to paycheck #i love my job but i work SO HARD where does all the money go #i work 40+ hours a week and make like 1600 a month that is not enough #i dont live with my family anymore i have cats #its all so hard but im doing everything right rn ?? what about when im struggling ?? this is torture #I LOVE MY JOB SO MUCH THOUGH i just keep wanting to spend money on my artist friends and good causes and stuff #but i cant afford my lunch by the end of the month #and i hardly have the energy on my time off for housework and making personal art #im only 21 what am i gonna do #shut up kyle #vent

time and time again the only things that take me out of deep depressive states are having fun and spending time with people and yet everytime i get so shocked like wow! love and fun and laughter sure made me feel like life is worth it again. who would've thought

#🧃 #phew. im so tired but im very relieved #today was a good day. it feels so rare to ever be able to say this but it was #i went to sleep properly and woke up early and took a shower and had breakfast #my brother got to skip school and so he stayed home and we hung out together #i figured out how to make my headphone's mic work so we played lethal company together #then we watched the entirety of the snapcube sonic rider fandub together (because i never saw it) #then my mom had to go out in the city and celebrated her new paycheck by getting us ice cream #then at night my friends and i did our weekly dunmeshi watch party and izutsumi finally showed up #and now im here. and i feel very nice. im glad to be here today

Vet visit went fine. June Bug is OK, just dehydrated and maybe has allergies too. And she is VERY unhappy with me. But she'll be fine.

#speculation nation #and that vet bill was about a quarter of my paycheck teehee #well good for me im working so much i guess #ill just need to cut down on stupid purchases for a bit #but im back and im *tired*. 7 am is way too early to be waking up... #i also have cat pee on my floor 😐 bc june bug peed herself in the carrier... #but shes ok. and thats what matters.

i need to stop staying up so late when i need to work the next day augggg

#the bin #i work at 11am at least so i do still have awhile till i need to get up #usually i work 4 hours earlier so im lucky i guess. not exactly tho bc i much prefer morning shifts but whatevs #i texted my sister today to ask if she can come this weekend but she didnt respond. hhh. im gonna be so mad if she says no #i just realized im abt to be out of cat food too so she HAS to comw at some point soon #it doenst even have to be the weekend. thats just the days she has off but if she can stop by anotehr time then thats fine #or if just her boyfriend can come drop stuff off and pickup her card then thats fine. but idk. i even offered to lend her gas money if my #next paycheck is enough to allow that. i shoudo get it tomorrow or the day afeyr so. well. hhhh. #i hope my paycheck isnt too bad. i think tips were pretty good recently so. maybe it wond be so bad. hhhh. #im tired of being stressed abt this stuff all the time. im really pissed at my sister rn too bc she just bought $40 worth of unnecessary #stuff. like. decor. while she still owes me $300 which i only lent bc it was for rent and i knew i wouldnt need it back for almost a month #but its been that time now and i need it back and instead of sensing it back she buys a $20 wall tapestry apparently #hhh. last yime i ever ever ever lend her money. im only gonna lend gas money bc i need her here soon. but she also needs to amde the trip #bc she has a card here to pickup. and theres several other reasons shes supposed to stop by. it shouldnt have to be my responsibility to #pay for that trip. hhhh. #im so glad i wont have to deal with her in a month

This is the only way to express how I'm feeling

#i try not to talk about my home life on here but im honestly so fucking frustrated that if i dont get this out i might just kill someone #my family car broke down in January of this year #my father refuses to get a new one because he thinks hes saving so mucj more money and he doesnt feel like he has any incentive #acting as if he was giving us free trips #i would literally pay him 100 dollars a fucking week to help take me in and out of work #and he just doesnt like acknowledge that at all #so now im having to take ubers to and from work every day. each trip is like 20+ dollars so that 40+ dollars a day five days a week #im averaging spending 200 dollars a week jusy to get into work #and i work a minimum wage shitty fucking job so all of my paycheck goes straight into ubers and fucking therapy every week #ive had to skip so many sessions becaause theyre all 50 dollars after insurance #and im just so frustrated #i want to move out so bad but how can i save enough if im constantly hemorrhaging cash #the only reason hes saving money is because he fucking works from home #i just dont know what to do at this point i feel so helpless #becayse even if hou casually bring it up my dad immediately assumes youre ATTACKING him and how DARE you and im tited im so fucking tired #how am i meant to move out in these conditions #how am i meant to do anything #i have no fucking social life because i literally just cant afford it im going to cry #i hate him. i hate my dad so fucking much #vent #ig. #scringee mouth

What an absolute waste of the first day of spring. I woke up knowing I should call out and what do you know.

#chit chat #work stuff #i spent twelve fucking hours at work today and had a complete breakdown in front of my dad as soon as i got home #and then i had a quesadilla and cried for another hour and now i feel vaguely human again #i don't think i can wait until someone else hires me amigos #i was this close 👌 to straight up walking off the jobsite never to return #should have done it too #im so tired #i love my coworkers but it's not worth dealing with management and corporate for this #i can come back and visit miss marsha #i can't get back the three years i wasted only for my job to get more impossible while i still can't afford rent #we're getting raises on this paycheck i heard #twenty six fucking cents an hour

[gensymscribes]

really trying to convince myself that i need a job even if i have to work 6 days a week and only get around 12-15 hours notice for each shift so i can't plan anything in advance and never get to do anything outside of the house other than work

#i need the paycheck. its fine. its fine. there are worse jobs out there it could be worse #im so tired of the dual wielding work environment of small family owned restaurant + fast food joint. #theyve been pressuring me to become management and i've been like. kind of playing along bc of the pay but also get me out of here lmao!!! #every time i see a text or schedule app notification i have to resist the urge to end it fr #but no one else wants me... the only place i got a call back from had super illegal shit in their handbook and kind of sucked worse somehow #i don't even make a lot........ if the pay was rly good it'd be a lot easier to suck it up but :(

[aidenwaites]

I don't. Want to go to work the next two days

#ugggghghghghdhhddh im so tired #i just want a reset yknow. im tired of juggling part times and seasonal jobs and forcing schedules into working #and its not even worth it!!! my paycheck was so bad this week

[florida3exclamationpoints]

I can't believe I get paid less than the sales associates ahahajhahahahahah

#not that they dont work hard #but they dont have smth to do every second of the day #theres not always a customer #sometimes they're genuinely caught up on everything and they fiddle with stuff on the computer #which is fine good for them seriously #but im never caught up 😭 im busting my butt for 8 hours straight and for what! not a good paycheck!! #i really do like this job. dog treat baker is like. omg dream job #but the company isnt the best and i need to start saving real adult amounts of money #like. i wanna stay here as long as possible bc the actual work is fun. but it SUCKS that that's not gonna be a long time #bc most everything else about the job is bad!!!!! #omg imagine making a living wage 😍😍 #im so TIRED of being ALIVE #😘✌️

#im quite late once again #i had an exhausting and rough day cos despite leaving my job i still had to do stuff for it and for me to no longer work at it #and trying to do everything right to make sure i get my last paychecks is stressing me out #i just want to be done with it and i dont want to deal with the people who have made me feel like i dont matter and never mattered #lowkey the trauma of the discrimination i was subjected to and continue to be subjected to is getting to me #so basically i accidentally fell asleep cos i was so tired and drained from all this bullshit ive been dealing with #anyway i love this prompt #mainly because the eye definition for 'optic' firmly and clearly evokes the magnus archives for me #but i also like the threatening aspect of 'menacings' definition and how it can play up horror #so im definitely gonna do a pretty spooky poem for this prompt #the magnus archives #tma #the eye #the eye tma #thanks for reading #writing #writer #creative writing #writing prompt #writeblr #trying to be a writeblr at least

Sorry if I get quiet

I nosedived mentally really badly all the sudden and I have no way to get my feelings out because I don't feel like I can talk to my mom about it and it really fucks with me badly

#fate rambles #i actually want to cry but im forcing myself not to bc i wont be able to explain why #but im tired of feeling like im suffocating in this house #but i cant find jack shit to move to even though i am looking so much #and im constantly feeling like i will never amount to anything bc i am living paycheck to paycheck #and all i ever get told is get another job #but like i dont want to work my life away just to fucking survive #i have been full-time at my job for 10 fucking years and i cant fucking live #i use selfshipping to escape because thats the only way i can even picture having a decent life right now #i dont want to feel like living isnt worth it bc i can barely make it through a week lately #vent tw

[soldier-poet-king]

yes i was up at 4.30am to catch a flight home, NO i refuse to go to bed bc that means tomorrow gets here sooner and i dont wanna go to work, YES i am, in fact, a toddler

#constantly just like #work tmrw :( #yes yes entry level job gotta put in that grind etc #but. the COMMUTE. and the BOREDOM OF REPETITIVE GRUNT ENTRY LEVEL WORK. #the lack of my own OFFICE/WORKSPACE #im just :( #i cant even just. spend 5 min on my phone #check my personal email. etc. #bc im afraid my boss will be upset. she might not be. idk #it's just that i need a mental reset every once and awhile #7.5 hrs of just work with only a lunch break is just. hm #and ofc. long ass commute is ruining any joy i have #i just. want to not be doing this anymore. i say. with a full calendar year on this contract #i want to save money ergo no rent bc insane city rent prices is basically my entire paycheck #but also. i get home. im awake for 4 hrs including dinner #packing lunch. showering. other chores etc. #and then sleep bc im so goddam tired all the time #IT NEVER ENDS #6 hr workdays or a 4 day workweek would treat me SO good #to be clear my workplace itself is good and fine and my boss is nice #it's just like. how about i get freedom and flexibility and shorter hrs/better pay #tell me why entry level jobs in the field paying like. not a lot. require a graduate degree #TELL ME WHY

Unsure if I've lost the thread for ladue or if I'm just exhausted

Probably more the latter tbh. I hope.

#speculation nation #ladue shit #i swear to fuckin god chapter 3 is currently 18k words and im SO CLOSE TO DONE #but i havent written anything the past few days bc ???? #my only day off this week was yesterday and i spent most of it lying down #coping with the rest of this week. #i mean i invited this. i need the money so i was like 'if u could put me at 30 hr Minimum. pls do' #turns out a lot of ppl r gone bc spring break so it worked out Swimmingly #i was scheduled for 31 hours and as it stands ive worked like 2 hours more than that. so. #it'll be GREAT for the paycheck. not so great for the writing brain. #i tried to write yesterday but i just kinda pooped out after 100 words. eugh. #it's a pretty clear shot to the end from where im at rn. no post-scene planned like in chapter 2 #i just need to follow this thread of conversation to its natural result. the culmination of this entire damned chapter #it's ALL been leading up to this. so no i cant just cut it where im at. i Have to finish it. #so close i can taste it. but i am So fucking tired. #we'll see if i can manage anything over the weekend. ugh.

#how can u expect to even live when u have to work and use up all your energy and the pay is barely enough to get through it or if you get #the hours you need youre fucked over by how exhausting it is and youre not gonna be able to use the money for your leisure anyway bc you’d #be too tired to feel like a normal human being or even if u wanted to use it for fun the paycheck is mainly gonna go to ur rent and ur phone #and ur studies and ur groceries which are inhumanly expensive im so #ouirurghhhg #and ur expected to study in order to get a better opportunity or smth but that also takes your money and energy #like how will u even come out of that without feeling like an absolute husk of yourself
