I got paid today... well, thoretically I got paid. In actuality my bank details haven't gone though yet so I have to collect it as cash from the cash office which, naturally didn't have anybody in.
So as of right now I still have nothing.

Gotta' go back some time after 5 and see if there's anyone around apparently. Yet another thing to add to the generalised suck of this day.

So, last week I worked 15 hours, earned 63 quid of which 13.86 is instantly scraped off as tax.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. That's 22 bloody %

Leaving me with 49.14 which is... (wait for it...) a whole 6.94 MORE than I got on the dole.

Yes folks, 15 hours of work later and I earned almost 7 pounds more than I did when I did sweet fuck all.
Wow, not even a whole 7 quid. Aren't I the lucky one.

A lucky one who's suddenly painfully closer to realising that unless I get a better job really fucking soon I'm not going to be able to afford to go to Canada next year. There's no way in hell I can afford it like this. I'm not even earning 200 a month, and if I saved every single penny of that then maybe... MAYBE I could afford it, but that's just not feasable. It just doesn't work.

God, I'm so sick of this stupid job. Perfect end to a perfectly bollocky day.

Well, maybe Kat will get that car and that will save us each $250. I may already have most of my spending cash, but I'll have time to save up more too, I hope, and I can pick up the slack for food and the like. You ARE coming to Canada! Even if you can only scrape up for the airfare, rest assured, you will be well taken care of. ;)

[waggles finger, 'cause it's all she can move] Don't think you can stop saving, though! ;)
