Auryn's World

Came home to a dirty kitchen…AGAIN.

You bitched about the ants.  How about you do your part to make sure they don’t come back?

I keep telling myself this, but I don’t think it’s working.

We have shite that needs to be discussed and he’s not fucking home.  Granted he had to take a friend back to Hazard, but now I won’t be seeing him until Wednesday at least.

Rent needs to be paid, we have to find another place to live ASAP because our lease is up on the 17th!

I just got a huge bomb dropped on me.

JB’s job offer was rescinded because apparently he didn’t pass the physical.

That was the only job offer he’s gotten the entire time he’s been there.

The worst part?  The guy he is staying with has pretty much decided that he can’t handle the work and is planning on leaving this weekend, and if JB doesn’t leave at the same time, he won’t have a place to stay.

I asked him about enacting plan B and he told me that he’s not even sure that Plan B would work because of military cuts.

So pardon me while I go have a minor freakout while I try and figure how in the hell I’m going to manage to pay bills.

Because I don’t want mom to freak out, I’m posting here.

Stupid cars. My transmission is dead, and JB’s engine just died today with pretty much no warning. It started to overheat on the way to work, we pulled over checked the radiator, it’s pretty much dry. We manage to get some coolant out of the reservoir and add some water that I just happen to have in my backpack. That gets us to a gas station where we can buy more coolant and go about our way. I call into work because I’m already late and I have a feeling that JB wouldn’t be able to pick me up.

We start to drive home, get to our exit, and the engine dies. It takes about 2 cycles of the light to get the car started so that we can move. We get almost home, and it does the same thing. Another 5-7 minutes and the car starts, we get home and it dies again as we’re pulling into the parking space. That part of the drive, we notice that the Firebird is belching blue smoke…oil is burning. JB is fairly confident that a head gasket was blown. He’s going to call the place that sold him the engine and see what they can do. But in the meantime, NO CAR. I have a feeling we’re going to have to go to a buy here, pay here lot where they don’t check your credit and get something cheap that works for the time being.

I really don’t know what to do or where to turn. Luckily, JB’s boss is really cool and will probably let us borrow his truck if we need it. While I thought it would be weird to have him live in the same complex as us, it’s turned out to be pretty awesome.

I’m trying to laugh about this, but all I really want to do is cry because while JB has a way to and from work, I don’t.

Great!  A possible UTI (Going to the doc in the am), which the treatment for is antibiotics, which could lead to a yeast infection, and to top it all off, my period is due this week.

I don’t know who I should be more pissed off at.  The companies that I’ve worked for, for not taking out enough in taxes, or the government for changing the stupid tax laws.

For the record, I claim 0 on my W-4’s.  Always have.  And it’s always been enough.  Even when I was making minimum wage at Publix.  I always overpaid and then got the rest back at the end of the year.  The only time I owed the federal government was when I left Publix and cashed in my stocks to the tune of $11k.  And with forethought, I had that money to pay the government.

I don’t know if it’s different because we filed jointly this year and it bumped us into a different tax bracket, but we owe approximately $800 to the federal government and the state of Kentucky.

Pharaoh and I sat down and figured it out.  If our respective companies had taken out $15 dollars more each paycheck from us, then we wouldn’t owe anything.  $15!!!  I wouldn’t have missed that. 

*RAGES*

So…roommate was canned.  Not for being unproductive or lazy, or late.  Because there’s not enough work coming into customer returns to support him.  JB has suggested he go over to ACS and try there.  In all honesty, I don’t want to work with him and I don’t think he’d be very good at it, but if JB thinks he can, then maybe he can.

I’m a bit angry because now he’s going to get some time off before starting to work again and I didn’t/couldn’t take a week off before starting at ACS.
