Man, Everything just keeps changing.
Well, I worked in New Martinsville for almost a month. We got the bar pretty close to completion. After the last time we went home, we got a week off. Well, needless to say, that one week turned into three. I haven't been working for the last three weeks, and the lack of funds is really hurting my family.
I have worked a total of two days for HAVE IT since I left New Martinsville. I really enjoy the work I do with HAVE IT, and want to continue working with Patrick, but I am going to have to have another job alongside it. My neighbor Wayne is going to get me a job working with him, doing drywall. I will be working in White Sulphur, so if I needed to do tech work while I was over there, I could.
So, once again I will be working two jobs. I just don't know how to make it on one. I had me a good back up job, working for Superior Building Maintenance during the nights cleaning the floors for Kroger. But, my co-worker just doesn't know how to keep a job, so, while I was out of town and he was supposed to be doing it by himself, he wasn't. So, by the time I got back in town I had lost my job with them.
I had talked to our boss, Carlos, on the phone while I was in New Martinsville. He said that I would still have the Rainelle store to myself when I got back in town. I have called him and called him and still haven't got an answer. I talked to the people at Kroger, and they said that Carlos lost the contract with Kroger over Dustin's stupid shit, so Carlos doesn't even have anything to do with it anymore.
So, once again I was fucked over by someone that was suppose to be one of my closest friends. Some people will just never grow up.
So, right now I am sitting here, completely broke, looking everywhere for some work I could do to come up with a little bit of cash. I always figure something out. I just wish my jobs would stay steady so I wouldn't have to do all of this looking and collecting all day.
Hopefully a contract will come through with HAVE IT and I can live comfortably someday.
