So it's ten 'till six and I haven't heard anything from Kelly Services except that they got my resume to the company in question late yesterday afternoon, and that was when I called this morning. I know it's silly to feel disheartened by that, and that I'll probably hear SOMETHING tomorrow (I'll give my recruiter until 4pm to call me), but I was hoping to hear something today. It's been a week and a half, which isn't THAT long, granted, but I'm broke and the thought of $15 an hour was REALLY encouraging (I've never made that much before.) Images of nicer apartments were dancing in my head. ;) I know it'll only be a temp position even if I DO get it, but still... the chance to be able to actually build a savings and pay the full amount on all of my bills and knock out some of my delinquent debts... it's just a hope that feels REALLY nice. I just hope it's not another carrot being dangled in front of my face. I'm getting really sick of those. =P
I've been poor all of my life (well, by American standards.) I feel like I've owed money to people since I was 12 (wait, I have.) It'd just, be nice to at least have my head above financial water.
And no, please don't offer financial advice. Trust me, I know how to handle my finances, NOW. The problem is that I didn't know it when I was 18 and I'm still paying for that. Well, hell, I didn't know it when I was 12 and I'm still paying for it. =P I've been scraping my way up from the bottom and I feel like I've hit about midway out of "the money hole". I don't even have THAT much debt, it's just that some of it is delinquent debt. And there are a lot of things that I want to do to better my life but I'm going to have to wait until I have the money to take care of several problems FIRST.
In the meantime, I'm tired, and yes, disheartened that I haven't heard anything from Kelly today. Guess I had my hopes up pretty high. =/ I'm sure I'll hear something soon.
Still hopeful,
Crystal
