Bills that come out when you don't expect (I really need to make a calendar with my due dates, for realz) are annoying.

As is not knowing what you'll actually have because inconsistant hourss.

I'm the one let go *always* because I'm the cover shift, and I'm also the one (on some days) chooses to take an uber home because sitting in IIA is *boring* and full of helpy people.

...

I'm also the one, who, for the damn third month in the spann of four has been in the hole in a low 200 figure amount, and has now been spanked (Metaphorically speaking) my SIL who is financial POA who is threatening to close the account if I don't behave. (It sounds worse than it is. This is the first time she's done this-and it's more "if you don't stop...")

My issue is that I'd expected to have the full 18+oncall shifts which isn't happening, and along with the fact that I'm pretty sure I *do* have mild dyscuulculia, it's throwing off my numbers because I never know how much I'ma have in one month's time.

I have a financial backout plan (Thanks to Alexa for being my calculator) for the next couple weeks, and I plan to sit down with the owner (And possibly my direct supervisor) to try and resolve this, but I'm this close to a downward spiral that I don't like.

partial numbness has become a survival skill, and that's not good. Thankfully Cedar and I+some help from a newer member of the system were able to figure out said fninancial backout plan, and the self-care day (Which was what she called out for being most expensive) are helping keep me straight, but it's still a close thing right now.

If the plan works as intended, it'll help greatly. But just knowing it's there helps, too.

Hopefully being accomodated early by public transpo will help as well, but we'll see how well that goes. This shit's getting old fast, and I know I'm not the only one in the 'financial tstruggle' boat, so here's to the rest of my fellow passengers. I feel your pain. <3
