My POS car is falling apart, literally. The whole car will shake when driving up even a slight incline, the transmission is likely close to being totally fucked, the inside panel on the driver's side door with all the door controls is falling off (To be frank I don't know what's got it still hanging there). Guess it's to be expected when the car has over 100k miles on it, but I've never harbored so much hate for a mechanical object before.
As far as life goes I've been surviving on microwave burritos and other cheap and extremely unhealthy foodstuffs so that I have money to pay rent and other bills. I'm lucky if I can get more than 7 hours of work a week at my job, which is basically just a dead-ender security job (long boring graveyard shifts, no hope of raise or better hours, complete with minimum wage!). The extra hours depend on whether or not a certain co-worker is going to abuse his seniority on a given week by trying to get out of working his shifts when he covers a weekend day shift for my supervisor. Sometimes he just decides flat out that he doesn't want to work. The sick part is that it's been going on for months (along with a few other absolutely ridiculous things he does, like leaving a mess in the work area and accidently taking the time card that 3 other employees have to share) and for whatever reason they continue to put up with his incompetence.
This has me looking for another dead-ender somewhere else, so hopefully I can at least get an interview somewhere... and maybe climb out of this rut. I should probably add that I've only been living on my own for a couple months (moved out at 18, 19 as of august), and live in a small town where little work can be found, especially the kind that actually pays. ($8.00/hr to be a cook at a restaurant around here)
To top everything off I'm having that whole "what do I want to do with my life" reevaluation/dilemma...
