I need money.  Badly.  New computer took a big chunk out of my bank account, and now I'm getting hammered on my hours at work.  Can't stand dipping into my savings just to pay bills, and now my bike is on its last legs.  Don't even want to think about what that's going to cost.  I'm trying to get more hours at other locations within the agency, but I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I can't really keep going without a second job.

Heh, you beat me to the punch on the vent thread...  I was just about to start it myself.

I hate banks.  I hate banks and I hate dealing with checks.  Granted, it's my own fault for not double-checking the date on the check, but 20 fucking dollars because they tried to cash a check that didn't clear?  Fucking excessive.  So now I, too, am as broke as I began, having expected to be back up over $100 in the account for the first time in YEARS at this point.

Nope.  Still paycheck to paycheck for me.  Fuck this economy so very, very hard.  Also fuck the way teachers are being treated.  Even on the off chance I do manage to get myself hired full time, I likely won't have a contract at best and won't have a job by the end of the year.

And, for good measure, it figures that the day that I have to get up and ready for work EARLY because my fiance has to be at work earlier than usual is the day that I don't actually have to work.  I love subbing -_-

GRAWR.

appliances around here need to stop breaking and people in general need to stop attempting to obtain money from me in the fashion of criminals.  Now is one of those times I wish one of my siblings was an attorney.  It would be nice to rattle that saber at some of these grifters out there.

Why is it so hard to find apartments that rent month to month? I need one for 2 months and can I find anything? It's easier to find pet friendly ones nowdays. And if Ric doesn't calm down about moving, I'm gonna lose what little mind I have left. I have nothing to pack here but I was supposed to pack it all LAST month. Dude, we don't leave til June, why the rush to put books and dvds in a box?

Also, I HATE this place!! (The DQ, not KSA) We had no water at all the other day. All day. No toilet flushing, no dish rinsing, nada. Most days, we have no water pressure so what water we do have comes out in a trickle. And I mean a trickle. Alex spits with more force... I can't wait to get to the hotel in the States and take a real shower.

I hate the kids that live in the appartment below mine.  They keep waking me up early in the morning by screaming continuously for a few minutes, and then they scream for a few minutes before they go to bed at night.  I'm not talking about crying but screaming at the top of their lungs.  Stupid kids.

My knee hurts so much! I am scheduled for a cortisone shot on the 23rd- if that doesn't work, I have to get it scoped. :(

Ah shit Kristin. :(
I hope the steroids work and you don't have to have anything done to you knee.  Knee problems are the worst.

It just sucks because I finally FOUND something, fitness-wise, that I was starting to love other than yoga. I hope the injection works too- but I'm not afraid of surgery so I'd rather go for it.

Obviously I would also hope for you that the cortisone will do it, but at least you're not being obstinate about the surgery.  My mom has been putting off doctor-advised knee surgery for the better part of 7 years, and she went in for an MRI yesterday...  Her facebook status following said appointment was this "Just got the results of my MRI. Yuck. The technician was nice enough to take the time to show me the CD; no wonder I hurt as much as I do. Bone spurs, tears, missing pieces...I was told I "am too nice a person to have a knee in such bad condition"."  So yeah, stalling with knee problems is probably not the best idea ever.  I'm glad you're not all "bah, I'm young, I'll bounce back" about the possibility of surgery.   Still definitely hoping for the best with the shot for you!

Yikes! I hope your mom finally gets it taken care of!

MRI for me showed no tears, but "shredded" cartilage behind the patella. ew. My father has had at least 4 major knee surgeries in my lifetime, so I'm not that squeamish. My dad actually needs a knee replacement, but they recommended that he lose at least 50lbs before they did it, so as not to put too much stress on the new knee. So far- no dice.

My mom has had knee replacement and it went very well, but I remember the time before the surgery and it was no fun, she was in a lot of pain all the time and had to wait forever for the surgery.
So get it taken care of especially if your dad had weak knees since it runs in families.  Better to be safe than sorry.

What was the new workout you found?

running. I ran my first 1/2 marathon this past October, and things were going smashingly. My knee hurt a little bit, but just kept getting progressively worse through the winter and now running is not an option.

Ack, running and knee problems are a bad mix. :(
Hope it gets better and you can start again.
