Rock and a Hard Place
I feel like I'm stuck. I'm in a job that I can't stand, barely making any money and I can't leave. The temp agency that placed me here said that they would start looking for something else for me only if I left this job. I can't leave this job. I can't afford to leave, and I can't afford to stay. I'm not making enough money to pay my bills, the job is forty minutes away and on a bad week I have to fill up the gas tank twice.
The job I was interested in a couple of weeks ago fell through. That would have been two dollars more an hour and closer to home.
I've now signed on with probalby half a dozen temp agencies in the desperate hope to find a job. I've applied for who knows how many jobs. And the big kick in the ass is that my old job is up on Monster! So they haven't found anyone to replace me yet.
I can't take much more of this.
Oh, I'm supposed to be working right now. I can't concentrate. How sad is that?
