Rough start
Here’s the damage:
Inspection and necessary repairs for my truck (2 used tires, a bulb, and a wiper blade) – $155.76, check
Cigarettes – $3.39, cash
Antifreeze (truck’s been running a little hot lately) – $9.53, credit card
Two loaves of bread (with which to live off of PB&J) – $2.52, cash
A bunch of gas for my truck – $40.01
I did, however, deposit the “dividend” check I got from State Farm, a whopping $18.30.
The job situation is still looking pretty grim. September 3rd is the last weekday at the park, and then it’s just Saturdays and Sundays until September 29th. It’d be pretty awesome if somebody would finally just give me a job, instead of screwing me around with their help wanted signs and ads. I’m also in a bit of a transportation catch 22 – I don’t have the money to get my scooter fixed, but without my scooter (thus forced to drive around in my gas hog of a truck), I don’t have money to get the scooter fixed.
