good news, bad news
Aug. 14th, 2007 08:09 pmThe good news is, I passed the physical and was officially welcomed to the job. My start date is next Monday.
The bad news is, my checking account is overdrawn. :( Sigh.
And I have to buy new scrubs for my new job -- but I don't have any money to do that with! I'm hoping to sell some textbooks on Craigslist. Maybe I can scrape together the cash that way. And I'm supposed to get paid tomorrow for the last pay period at the old job. I just know that check will be tiny, though. That's the problem. In fact, depending how overdrawn I am (I haven't checked recently), the entire paycheck may be eaten by my overdraw and overdraw fees (and NSF fees). Sigh.
But once I start working the new job, in one 12 hour shift I will make more at the ER RN job than I made in two weeks at the camp job. Pathetic. So that will hopefully be the end of my $$ struggles for some time!
. . . and there was much rejoicing!
I am uncomfortable with the blood draw thing, though. ( short grumble/ramble about incremental chipping away at our civil rights related to my having to give a blood sample in addition to the pee test )
So it's like, we're incrementally giving up rights and freedoms... to be just as unsafe as we were before. Oh, yay! I feel so much better now!
