TLDR account is negative $86 right now, S.O. had surgery and is off work my job isn't giving me hours right now. I should have asked for help a while ago but it all felt pretty hopeless until now (got hired yesterday for a full time job that starts Monday). I know it's tight for everyone with the holidays but we are at the barely eating point and in way over our heads. 

 

Now for the rant because I just need to let off some steam 🤬 Everything has been hard since I broke my hip last year but I didn't expect this year to be so bad. My car got repossessed last year (from being off work for half the year) and I had to trade my nice LG OLED in for my step brothers 20 year old Impala. This thing is a gas hog so I could no longer make money doing Door Dash/Uber on the side and my full time job lost a lot of business. I also was just not able to do my full time well anymore missing a lot of work due to crippling pain (I've long had a bad nerve in my left foot but it was manageable once I broke my right hip I started putting more weight on my left foot that was a no go). I had another job starting in August and left my job and was supposed to get a nice big check a within a week of leaving. Due to mismanagement on someone's part that check didn't arrive until a month after I left... in that time one of the dogs got hit and had extremely bad road rash (no broken bones miraculously). That was a lot of money... then my favorite cat got sick and I was panicking about money... I finally got my check and took her to the vet. That night my dad almost died from a freak accident at work (a grinding wheel broke he was using and cut his neck open took over 300 stitches to patch him up). The next morning my cat died and I blame myself and have been deeply depressed ever since. Even just typing it out now puts me in tears she was such a shining light in my life and I failed her. 

 

August my new job starts it is a MUCH needed distraction and things started out well... Within a couple weeks that wasn't the case the company really mismanaged things and I didn't make the money I should have. Around this time my lawsuit from breaking my hip last year the defense finally got a lawyer (they were playing bullshit games sending us to different people over and over again in their company to stall). Their lawyer asked for 30 days to go over the case and the court granted them that.

 

September my Grandmother gets diagnosed with cancer and my Grandfather dies 😑 They raised me the first few years of my life and have always been a very important part of it (we got together on basically a weekly basis). Some good news here though the cancer treatment seems to have went well I think she will be ok. I also got a new job during this time and it started out pretty ok.

 

November the new company I was working for hired a bunch of people and some people from other locations moved around my hours got cut so people could be trained. Then I was told I would be getting more hours but two weeks ago I wasn't scheduled at all but got called in two days. I complained they told me I would get at least 4 days during the week because they had someone who wanted to switch jobs. Last week no scheduled days but they asked me to come in once. This week one scheduled day.

 

Yesterday I had a job interview seen a company close to home put a sign out they were hiring. I actually put my application in a few weeks ago but the guy handling interviews was on vacation. Then the first half of this week he was sick and I was losing hope on this really needed to start something else sooner. Not only that but I also had concerns about how long I can stand a day (around 3-4 hours but I did mention that on my application). Thursday though they asked if I was still interested and scheduled my interview for Friday. Interview seemed to go well he said he would talk to the Shipping manager and get back with me Monday because she said she needed some help. I was hoping to find out for sure there I don't like getting my hopes up much anymore (I'm generally too optimistic) and I headed to the gym to soak in the hot tub (about the best pain management for me I can't take pain killers even low doses make me extremely tired). As I pulled into the parking lot I got a phone call it was the person who just interviewed me and he told me there is actually another job someone is leaving in a few weeks that is even more sit down hours than the other that he would like me to start Monday! 

 

Oh, I intended to circle back to my lawsuit I went through discovery with the defense lawyer. I turned mine in on time his was due back a month ago he hasn't asked for an extension and if I had that I could at least apply for a loan on my settlement 🙄 However on top of that the company is now claiming they aren't liable for it. So I fell on the ice at night in a driveway to a house. The house is owned by a company and their workers stay there when they work for the company. Now the 3 workers that live there have lawyers, the company that owns the place has one, the insurance company has one and the HOA has one and all of them are denying liability pointing their fingers at each other 🤬 It's going to be a long time before this is settled and I can get back on my feet completely 😑

 

Thanks for listening to me rant and if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Just so you know, that's considered to be a business account so a fee will be charged.

 

Edit: or maybe not - I just sent $250 and there didn't appear to be a fee.

 

Oh my gosh thank you! It's my personal and a business count combined. I tried doing a dropship store getting stuff from Aliexpress right before covid shut everything down :whistlin: Funny thing too one of the things I was considering selling was cute masks with designs :lol:

Just had a really bad experience with PayPal once that took months to fix 

 

feel free to pm

I had an issue that started a couple months ago with Venmo where they locked my account and wanted me to send some account info. The problem was that i hadn't used the bank account attached to Venmo in probably a year and had cut the card up. I have money on Venmo i can't take out and customer service couldn't help resolve the issue.

Glad to help, takes a village after all.

 

Have enough for food now?

 

Yeah I think we will be able to manage now she will stress some about the other bills due but I'm not to worried we will catch up eventually (she is a bit of a worry wort) come the 20th I can start donating plasma again for like $100 each trip (unfortunately its a far trip so like $30 goes to gas but every bit helps). Thank you so much :hug:

Is the account still locked?

 

If not, here's an idea: send the money to me and I'll send it back to you on PayPal.

New job sucks I told them I can't stand all day in one spot bent over a machine... that's exactly what I did today I'm in so much pain I hope I can sleep well tonight :| I dont even know why they hired me I was clear in the interview and on my application about my physical issues. For fucks sake its only like $10 an hour if I'm going to torture myself standing all day I can got to fucking McDonalds and make more (and they aren't making complicated electrical components that's sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars man some CEO is getting rich off these people).

Bloody hell, $10/hour? Really? That's awful. I've seen McDonalds advertising $15 (or was it $19?) here. Sounds like it's time to start hunting. :/
