in which i’m physically okay

but financially flooded.

power’s out at my job until further notice. there’s no real quotes on damage to the building, but i know our servers are down because of this loss of electricity. the whole neighborhood is fucked, actually.

anyway, no power = no work gets done = nobody’s running payroll = my check (for last week’s hours) is in limbo in addition to not working this week.

i feel helpless and thoroughly fucked. i’ll check w/ UE and FEMA, call my staffing agencies, and see what they have in walking distance of my home or directly off a bus route. cuz we have a while here until the subway is up and running again.

i’ll be listing items to sell via a few groups i’m on on fb.

trying to keep that stiff upper lip while simultaneously remembering that it’s okay to ask for help.

i don’t make enough at this one job to save anything. there is no PTO, because i’m not full time. i’m okay w/ that. i actually really like that about my job. not mad at my flexibility.

just wasn’t expecting this very delicate balance to be blown completely out by sandy.
