Morning Blue, first I am neither mad or upset; was two days ago by evidence of the edited away posts above. I will explain think you will get it, but going to be wordy. So I get a text message from Brad, the guy who helped me while I was homeless, who gets under my skin often.
"How long did it take to get unemployment?" I text back. "Six weeks to get the first check and get to do it again as I was just let go." So he calls me and states Brian needs a third hand on lawn care and it would be 3-4 hours. Sure get me out for a bit, let me see how this thing really is.
As for the work it was outside i liked that. Very fast passed like sprint walking all day, four houses eight hours, not enough income for that and thought come next July August I would die so not my cup of tea.
But here it comes, okay. We had been joking, having pretty much a good time, and from the third house driving to the fourth Brad opens his mouth. He had already told me how he quit Anthony as all I told him came true before his eyes. As he loves to say, So much Drama by others, I keep to myself (Not true his deflection as every time I work with him his is complaining about his home life.)
Mind you while homeless I paid his truck payment, think on that. So he is stressing big time, about to pull out his hair, his electric bill is to be cut 1,100 behind and disconnect notice, the rent house he is in has been sold, "Well if she can not make money on the house and needs to sell it, I don't blame her he says." Owned by a nice church lady he says often.
There is no way you get to 1,100 behind and
three months to get to a disconnect letter (And don't know), and he always talks about how he is 1,600 to 2,400 behind on rent, maybe she will work with me. I can't imagine how she is not making money on the rent house? His girlfriend (Fine who he never liked nor thinks she is pretty was just a piece of....... that should not ever get pregnant due to cancer of the ovaries) She has been unemployed for that makes it close to four months and she has not even started the UI process.....
So I went from upset for them to, you made this bed now sleep in it.....
OH forgot, that truck payment I made a few years ago apparently was the last full payment ever made, as the title is still used as collateral, so about to have it taken and you quit your job when all this is right in front of you, okay okay. WTF for real.....
Edit II: What he had gotten so used to, not working hard, allowing his girlfriends check to be the main income while belittling her, using food stamps poorly, poorly. He shops for dinner each evening, and when I am there, no matter how much they get and always too much, after eating
throw away all the left overs. He would say you want that I would always say yes and take it all or all I could carry.
