I will have to pay at least £50 for my new kitty, and possibly more considering that her leg amputation probably incurred some considerable costs (on the flipside, a disabled cat might be more difficult to rehome so perhaps I won't get charged extra), to cover the cost of having all those things done. It includes six weeks' pet insurance too!

You think you got problems. Try reading anything posted on here by basically anyone pre-2007.

Guess what? This week, I got two email rejections. One for a job I applied for just over 4 weeks ago (WGU, I mentioned in in the University thread), the other for one I applied for about 2 months ago at the community college system over in Pittsburgh.
It takes so long for academic hiring to go through their system - all the decisions are by committees.
Gonna keep looking for more online adjunct work, I guess. Or.. I dunno... wal-mart overnight restocking? I've gotten more hours at the beer barn, but that's close to minimum
Since I last discussed my life, my brother (who has a really good job) won his state lottery, which gives him roughly $130,000 a year for life. This is good, because he has two autistic boys, one severely so, and he'll be able to put it aside for him.
My parents... god, my parents. Mom offered to help support us if I go back to school and become marketable, since the whole teaching thing just ain't working out anymore. My baby brother (42) went back recently for Control Systems, and has been offered a job by his instructor before even finishing his program!
Now all I have to do is figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life!
Oh, and the electric got disconnected the other day - we got it back on after 24 hours, but that's left us broke again. Two months behind on the mortgage, too... I did a restoration job for a friend from church, the ceiling in her attic fell in, the best price quote she got from a contractor was for replacing the whole thing at $2000. I patched it - properly - for about $350. But I just don't want the crap of being a contractor. I also delivered phone books a couple of weeks ago, got a few hundred for that, too. Unemployment ran out ages ago.
I'm thinking IT. Something with a high demand. I dunno, the home repair thing is kind of attractive, I love doing it, but it's too dicey, I'm slow (but I do really nice work) and I never know what to charge. I want a real job, something reliable and steady where someone else pays for my health care!
Sorry, this mostly goes in the complaints thread, I think.
There's so much more I want to tell you guys, but I have a tutoring appointment soon with a really flaky student. Maybe more later.

Keep at it, my friend. There is honor in persistence.
Carl-E:
Honor doesn't pay debts.
Well, except debts of honor, of course. :roll:
GarandMarine:
No no, blood pays debts of honor.
