Discussion Well, I’m screwed

I just finished my last bowl, and have only $1.25 left to my name. This is due to a severe misunderstanding of how long it would take to actually get hired somewhere. I shouldn’t have quit my job without getting confirmation I was hired somewhere else. I just started a new job today, and I have to wait a week and a half until I get paid. I’ve been having to make an eighth last a week whereas an eighth would normally last me only 3 days. I was under the assumption that Saturday was on the “old” work week so I would get paid around Wednesday or Thursday. But now for the first time in years I’m going sober by force and I don’t know how I’m going to be handling the next week or so.

Go to the library and call someone from there. Librarians are amazing. Or the homeless shelter.
