I QUIT! | DearDiary.Net

It wasn't even a month and I quit from my job. They only gave me 8-10 hours a week. It was minimum wage without any pay raises possible. It was a lot of hard work with the supervisor constantly watching me. It was more of an inconvience than anything else. My mental health wasn't worth it. I could take it if I could support myself with the money, but minimum wage with less than 10 hours isn't cutting it.

I feel better but worried. I don't want to get used to not having a job. Tuesday I will be looking for just about anything that will work with my schedule and give me more than 10 measly hours. This will mean me and Michelle will have to be a little bit more tight with our money. Though I already owe $300 in back rent and have yet got my little sister something. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning. It is so tough trying to keep my head above water. I have no choice. To give up now would lock in a future just like my mom's. She gave up. Now she is a 43 year old janitor that makes only $8.00 an hour. She only works 6 hours. She literally has no money for anything but bills and some *barely* any food. I don't even eat her food, I buy my own.

Besides that, there is me and Michelle. Our moods go up and down daily. Today was a generally good day. Was nice not to have to worry about much. I wish there could be more days like this. That's all for now.

I think everyone goes through days like that now and then- who am I trying to kid? They probably go through them everyday....Don't worry though I am sure everything will be fine- I know it's hard- I actually gave up going for my bachelor's but it's good to have a back up plan in which I do and that is getting my other associate's degree- I know it may not seem like much to a bachelor's, but with two associate's I think it will be better than nothing....And you can still manage to get a good job that you love with or even without any kind of education- my brother had a job once that he loved but he was a poor slacker so he kinda got fired- but the thing is- he loved it and that's what really counts doing something you love....And yes my hair really is that long- I am donating 10 inches of it though to locks of love when I make the appt lol that is....And I do use a lot of conditioner and a lot of other hair products- gosh when I do my hair I have to like have a hair tie and a clip just for it to stay in place lol....Well try not to worry too much about things- I am sure they will get better in the end;)
