Breakdown

These headaches are becoming chronic. Hypochristian Ultra has it out for me big-time, because I don't want to be her "friend". I'm sorry HU, but I'm not so short on friends that I need frienemies. No thank you, we don't want any. So stop throwing words over the blackboard at me, don't come into my class for any reason and for the love of God forget that I ever existed, ok?

It's bad enough that I went on strike with the union for a pay increase and got a lousy 15% for my trouble. But guess what? 15% of nothing is still frigging nothing! Wow, I got a lousy $625 increase in an economy where it takes $1000 to buy decent groceries for the month. Wowsy-woo-woo. While the fatcat administrators who already earn about $12000 a piece also get a 15% increase, thanks to us little people. Think of me when you upgrade to a more expensive car and a younger wife you fuckwad douchebags.

Right now I need $2000 to complete some dental surgery I started months ago. But between my rent and this joke of a salary, I really don't see how I'm going to swing it. My lovely old aunt had given me the money this month. However, the bank I have a loan with must've thought the extra money in my account was for them because I went to the ATM today to find that they'd taken out a second loan payment for the month. I shit you not, it's happened before. I'm just thankful that this time my account balance isn't -$600.

So what's a girl to do? Give up my wonderful but poor boyfriend who recently proposed to me and whore myself out to the first rich pedophile that passes by? Sometimes I feel as if the only people in this country who don't worry about money are the ones who sell their souls in exchange for the dollars. Being an honest citizen is like working on a project when nobody is going to grade me on it. Fuck.

great term-- i will have to remember that one.

15% is not a bad raise- youre moving in the right direction, at least. keep your expenses low and hang in there.
