Have I mentioned that I'm tapped out financially? Well, I am. I realized with a very unpleasant start a few days ago that I am living paycheck to paycheck.
This morning, I tried to log on to my contracting company's time reporting website and got a message along the lines of "There are no current work assignments for you." My heart stopped. Just for a little. It started up again. But in the meantime I sent a text message to my recruiter
amy i cant get to my timesheet on the stupid system. it says i dont have a work assgnmnt. does this mean i have to go back to selling my plasma?
She said, no, don't be silly, we'll look into it, of course you're still working at Big Finance.
Being jettisoned from Big Finance just like that would cause my world to collapse. And I don't think I'm exaggerating. Much.
What I've decided that I want to do is first of all, stop the hemorrhaging. This weekend, I went to the library. I went to chapel. I spent not one thin dime.
I did, however, pay my bills.
This morning, I allowed myself one coffee on my way to work. It was nectar.
And victory is mine. I haven't spent one unplanned cent for 72 hours. I hope I can make it another day.
