Feeling pretty sad right now...
This is going to be a shitty blog, sorry guys.
I love my new job but everyone tells me I should be looking for something else because they think I might be getting screwed over. I've still not been paid and have been working there since Nov. 25th. Their reasoning is that I have heaps of paperwork to fill out and send back to head office before they will start paying me. Some of it is stuff that my boss has to train me for and sign off that I've been trained for it. The only problem with that is that he said he's not going to start training me for the vast majority of these things until AFTER xmas. ugh.
I'm also pretty pissed because when I accepted the job I had another one lined up as well, and told them that I would like to give priority to the game shop and work whatever else at the other place. The response was that I ad to decide on one of them as they would be needing me to work a full week. BULLSHIT. I'm only working on weekends.
So while I'm earning shit all and not being paid for it the bills are piling high (and overdue) and rent is lurking just around the corner. Not to mention food is running out and I am currently negative 14 cents in the hole in my bank account. I don't know how we're going to be able to pay for all of these things, and it really scares me
I've also got to deal with the stress of my Visa application. The Australian government just LOVES to take my money. They've already drained us of our Honeymoon savings ($2500) for the initial cost of my applications. Then I had to pay for my police checks and medical exam (around $380 or so). Annnnd if all of that goes smoothly I'll only be allowed to stay here for another 2 years and THEN they decide if I can be a resident.
My parents are making me feel as guilty as ever, with it being holiday season and all that. I mean I can understand that they miss me, and that it's extra hard on them because I am their only child... but don't they understand that when EVERY time they talk to me and they get all sad and cry about it that it feels like they're guilt tripping me for leaving? I hurts.. A LOT. I miss them too, but will they ever stop making me feel bad for following my heart?
Christmas is going to suck this year. I've been put in charge of the Kris Kringle/Secret Santa thing Marty's family has decided to do. This is al fine and dandy, my family has done it for years and devised a method that works perfectly, ensuring that everyone gets something they want. The only major drawback is that I know we won't be able to afford to participate. We won't be able to afford to get any presents this year, not for ourselves, not even for Mr. Wez and Buffy.
I just want to end this with another huge thank you for all the comments on my new set. I really appreciate it guys! It makes me all warm n fuzzy inside to see so many comments from people asking why it's not on the front page already! I'm also really happy that this community still loves to see the creative sets with a proper storyline and theme like we used to have back in the day!
Well, Marty is going to help me put up the lights and decorations on our Christmas Tree to try and help cheer me up. It's still going to be a bit sad that its going to be empty underneath it
Sorry for such a sad blog everyone, I guess I just needed to get it all out.
