...Never down and out."

Sooo, update on the housemates. So now they've totally gone evil and have practically kicked me out of the main living area. They allow me no space in the refrigerator or kitchen, but said I could use their stuff and now they took it back. So now I'm further in the hole going and getting stuff I need to live. Not only that, but they use the washer/dryer 24/7 when they're here so I can't wash my work clothes either. They also won't talk to me about anything either (which I partially don't mind, but I live here too, you know). The office referred me to a mediation centre, but they're for workplace problems. So now I have to go through the City to even get things handled. However the office has offered a transfer if they or I can get enough people for another pet friendly apartment to open up.

However, in spite of that turbulence, I got a call back to interview for the supervisor position I applied for! I'm really excited! I had the interview today (yea bad choice of days, I know) and hopefully I'll move onto the next stage and get a second interview. ;o; I could really use the job, but... I realize I'm the least qualified person who probably applied. I had also pretty much given up on this job so I can't believe I'm at least getting a chance to show I'm ready for such a position! The only problem is I'm going to need a lot of up-front money to renew my med card. :/ money which I don't have, even now. The roommate thing left me strapped again. Plus this paycheck will be low, because the last two weeks I worked barely over 20 hours. So much expense goes into looking/getting a second job that I can understand how some people remain unemployed.

Anyways, commissions are open, due to my financial burden in the near-term. And I can't use my credit card to help lessen it because my company returned my limit to my opening limit (which cut 4250 to 1200) and the card is maxed out from stuff back in college. :/ I also can't rely on a job I probably won't get with the kind of unemployed pool exists in California (they can literally be MDs with loads of experience, since Apple up and ran from the valley). Bleh... I'm so pessimistic. :/ But my account is dry (or overdrafted) due to my current living situation. I'd say pessimistic fits.
