Sorry, this doesn't relate to my bf's drinking problem, but I'm feeling pretty stressed. I'm about to pay my electric bill online which will leave me with $4 for the rest of the week. I've been trying to work extra hours, but it looks like that's not gonna work out. I work at a call center conducting surveys. The main project I work on ran out of numbers over 2 hours early tonight. Friday, we only call if we're behind and have numbers. I was going to work tomorrow, but they aren't even sure if they'll be calling. Of course, I'm trained on another project that I can call on tomorrow but due to the special nature of that one, it only calls from 5pm - 8:30pm; and less if we make goal. And I'm really good at my job. It's a 20 min survey and we're supposed to get at least 1 complete an hour. I usually get 2. Which means we hit goal sooner which means I get fewer hours. But I don't know how to not be good at it. And that would be wrong anyway.
So, that's my vent. It's good that I quit smoking - I wouldn't be able to afford cigarettes this week anyway!
I feel really bad because my sister is turning on the 12th. The sister in the picture. And I don't have the money to get her a present. I'll get her something with my next paycheck, but 16 is a pretty big deal!!!
Well, I can get DD a present after all. I did a load of laundry and found $40 in a jeans pocket. I'm pretty sure it was slipped in their by my bf because he knew I was stressed and wouldn't take money if he offered it. He forgets that I never carry cash, so I would never have two $20 bills in my pants pocket. It's incredibly sweet, though. I'll cook him a really special dinner some night this week.
Glad it worked out in the end. Hope she had a lovely birthday.

So do I. I'll probably get her a new outfit. She's more of a clothes freak than I was at her age. Probably. *tries to look innocent by whistling*
She's trying to convince mom to let her get a tattoo. She wants 2: a sisters tat that all 3 of us will get and a memorial tat for our grandpa. It's been almost a year since we lost him. I actually would love to get both as well, but right now, I can't even afford a cup of coffee on the way to work, let alone a tattoo! LOL
I got paid this morning and my account is now pretty much empty. Electric bill is sucking me dry. But its starting to warm up, so it shouldn't be as high next month.
Turn it over Whisk (can't do the whole name cause of how it affects my thoughts) to your HP cause HP can handle that situation also. I know that from my own experiences in this program and with my HP. Early on in recovery I use to steal funds so that I wouldn't have the fear of being broke and my HP changed that all handing my the forth step and the consequence of being honest and compassionate with those I use to steal from. My best for your efforts and your generosity with your sister. ((((hugs))))
Sorry about the name - its my bf's drink of choice and the name of a country song I really like. I pray a lot. I've come a long way in the last year. I'm just a little more broke than usual because I emptied my bank account on minor repairs for the car I bought so it would pass inspection. But now I can get to work and get groceries and . . . well, that's all I do. But I can do those things.
