Maggie-Miau Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Hi I'm Maggie and my ship is currently trapped in ice. By which I mean I'm off my meds, exhausted, and have made some very poor financial decisions. Was out of work about a month between holiday break and covid, had a relapse, still playing catch up. There's a proverbial eldritch polar bear chasing me, the tins are bad, etc etc we've got The Terror. Goal 1: get the ship out of the ice via paying my dang bills. As a full Lear employee now I will get paid on Wednesdays. I'll figure out the paydown strategy later but I get paid like three times in february. .. by the end of this Challenge I should be good. Goal 2: don't get scurvy. I will track my foods. That is all. Goal 3: don't get eaten by the eldritch polar bear. I'm not actually eligible for insurance until March which I find hideously unfair but in the meantime I can take my meds and attend appointment with EAP therapist and such idk Goal 4: clean ship/watercolors and climbing exercises, I will keep the apartment tidy and will work on hobbies and exercise. Will clean this up later, I just typed it in my last few minutes before shift starts. I'm so sleepy I can't keep my eyes open. 😴 hopefully this will be a fast 8 hours and I can go to bed. I have to call onion and find out where the heck my w2 is from when I worked at rheem. 8 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment

Also i get paid tomorrow (wednesday) halleheckinlujah. i can pay my Bills and get a few groceries i will actually use. I'm going to try the protein angle again. 3 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment
Maggie-Miau Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 *frantically chiseling* Got paid Paid on rent Paid broski a bit Paid some on the credit card Got my like five little groceries and they were delivered to somebody else so now I'm waiting for them to be redelivered Ate food. Idk how much protein was in it but it was some bowtie noodles with red sauce, chopped veggies burger, and roasted broccoli. 3 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment
Maggie-Miau Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 Had a veggie burger before work, have also had half a protein bar. Am behind on water intake but attempting to fix that. In a rare stroke of good sense, I am Waiting for everything to stop Pending before I see what I can move to savings. The rent had a nasty habit of looking like it's processed but then sneak attacking ages after the fact so this time I am trying to be a little more wise. 4 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment

Maggie-Miau Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 We have to work Saturday 😪 and two of my coworkers are getting on my nerves. I think I'm just a massive bitch bc it doesn't really matter but for every break every day this week, without fail ten minutes before break they hit me with "I'm going to the restroom I'll be right back" and then don't reappear until five minutes after break. Essentially giving themselves longer breaks. It's annoying both bc they know I can't do that since somebody has to watch the line, so they're intentionally leaving me with the work, and because if you're going to do that at least tell me that's what you're doing instead of this "I'm going to the restroom" bull as if I don't know what you're about 😒 2 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment
Maggie-Miau Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Update it is currently under debate whether we'll get off early or not- Hyundai is currently down. Also I'm back on my meds so I hope the Emotions will level out 2 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment

I think it's less feeling deprived and more being annoyed when I feel like people think I'm stupid or something? I haven't pinpointed exactly why it bothers me so much. 1 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment
Maggie-Miau Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Ehehe, last night....the line went down before lunch, so we all cleaned up and found work to do to kill time. Then A-Line started turning off their monitors and stuff and we were told to hang up the scanners as we were about to be sent home early. Lunch bell rings, we're told not to clock out. Do you know we got back from lunch and had to literally just stand there for two hours until the next break XD and then another half hour after that before Hyundai finally gave up and called it 🤣 I was annoyed like,,,,,why keep us here if you don't need us,,,,but I was also like,,,I'm literally getting paid over 45 dollars just for being there 🤣🤣🤣 and they canceled Saturday work. Doubtless they'll stick it to us next Saturday to make up for it bit I'm cool with it since I only have one overtime day next week anyway. 2 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment

Fortunately i am now at home and can alternate between my big clunky headphones and simply putting my weighted dragon on my head XD I also went ahead and informed momsauce that this is a Thing . I'm listening to music right now, which can actually increase the arm shaking urge, but am making another clay figure to keep my hands busy :3 3 Quote Matthew 25:34-40 Link to comment
