1. Called credit counseling, and found out I'm too poor to pay for the debt consolidation I need, which I asked for because I'm too poor to pay my bills, which I thought was the condition that credit counseling was set up to assist with.
2. Received threatening collection notice on behalf of Sears.
3. Roommate (aka The Miser) wished me a happy birthday, then informed me that I am a "burden on others" as I handed her the (late) rent check. Apparently, working 2 jobs and going to school at night to better myself isn't enough for her to just to kick me out without also subjecting me to ignorant remarks.
4. Resisted the urge to inform roommate that she should occasionally read something besides her Bible-perhaps a book on communication, an essay on the working poor, or an economics textbook.
5. Made 105 excuses why I can't work at dangerous jobs I know I'll hate but should apply for anyway because they pay enough for me to buy jelly with my peanut butter.
6. Resented roommate some more.
7. Tutored friend in ASL. Listened to her financial woes which are similar to mine. Plotted together to kidnap someone so we can use the ransom to pay off staggering debt. Speculated on how much she could get for each of her children on the black market. Resisted the urge to ask her why she still votes Republican.
8. Breakfast consisted of ginger ale and 2 pieces of bologna mooched off of sympathetic neighbor. Listened to her speculate as to whether filing bankruptcy a second time would be worth the cost. Secretly envied her for having ginger ale and bologna with real beef in it.
9. Sat on Bologna Friend's computer and typed self-absorbed entry into meaningless blog while she went out for Indian food with friends. Wondered what it would be like to eat a full meal more than once a week, one that didn't consist of expired macaroni and (imitation) cheese from the food bank.
10. Remembered the Bible verse stating that suffering builds character. Switched resentment of roommate onto God.
11. God informed me that he didn't vote for Bush either, so stop blaming him.
12. Resisted urge to saw through both wrists...
