[$$$ stress] god I didn't realize how bad work screwed me over
Princess Emily
so to recap:
Princess Emily
-I was out for 2 weeks for covid
Princess Emily
(this was when I asked for money and my friends generously came through for me to get me all caught up for the month)
Princess Emily
then I'd be taking back over bills with the paycheck coming in... today
Princess Emily
-but then my work only scheduled me 3 days when I came back from COVID, and THEN scheduled me ZERO days the following week just Because
Princess Emily
-I ended up working two (short) days that week because my manager needed some things done, so I thought, whew, maybe this will cover me enough,
Princess Emily
but that was still going to be... basically 4.5 days of work hours on a two-week check
Princess Emily
-but
Princess Emily
-here's the kicker
Princess Emily
because I was out for two weeks with covid,
Princess Emily
and got NO paycheck that pay cycle
Princess Emily
there was no deduction for all my insurances
Princess Emily
that pay cycle
Princess Emily
they took out DOUBLE on today's paycheck

"Oh, you earned $700 when you normally earn double? Ehhhh. You're actually only taking home $230. Good luck paying rent."

my mom's freaking out,
Princess Emily
I got no solution
Princess Emily
I'm not asking for more money I just did that
Princess Emily
I'm just stressed and idk what to do here
Princess Emily
it doesn't help that we had that unexpected expense yesterday too, with our AC going out and having to pay a guy to come out and look at it
Princess Emily
(the parts were covered under warranty but not labor)

What the fuck, that's awful.
Princess Emily
yeah it's, yeah
Princess Emily
My mom says we need $600 to make bills + food, my bank account is currently $280, but I'm also sitting on an empty tank of gas that's gonna need 1.5 refills before my next paycheck, love it
Princess Emily
current thoughts:
-I can sell my car, which I will get like, not much for it, it doesn't run and needs some repairs.
-my mom can pawn some jewelry, but you don't get much from pawned jewelry and that's a huge amount to try and get that way
Princess Emily
i got banned from ebay for having a VPN so I can't try and sell off some old vidja, unfortunately
Princess Emily
which sucks because that'd honestly be my best option, I got some old rare shit that people buy for $$$
Princess Emily
nevermind plurk, good friend who is very cool and awesome lent me some to get by
