Pooh of a different sort

Long days, restful days and banking days.  These are the sort of days I have had since my last post.  The long day was last Sunday that saw this chap work a 13 ½ day consisting of 13 hours of shopping.  It was a long day and at the end of it this chap was exhausted and ached in more places then he knew he had.  Thankfully I was not in the following day and do not go back to work until Thursday.

The last couple of days have been restful, working on the My Learning centre and trying to sort out money issues.  Well up until today things have been going reasonably well.  I had worked out that I was just about going to make it to next payday that was until I logged into my bank account.  Thanks to so very hefty bank charges that were levied earlier than usual I now have no money until payday!  This is the first time I have ever run out of money in my life and it does not feel good.  I have tried talking to the bank but to little avail but I tried nonetheless.

I am feeling very embarrassed and ashamed of myself for being in this situation and very angry.  I am unsure what or how to get through the next few weeks and at present feel very scared.  I need to clear my head and tomorrow broaden my hunt for a job with increased hours fore sure.  In the mean time I need to work as hard and long as I can so I can dig myself out of this mess as quickly as possible.

It was stupid and irresponsible of me to get in this mess and it has taken another hard lesson to wake me up.  2014 is turning out to be the year of hard lessons for this chap, lessons I should have learnt a long time ago.  Equally this year has seen me make some very special friends and work with an amazing bunch of people.  Those positives and my newly found level of confidence will hopefully stop me from slipping backwards.

Time to catch up with Arthur Dent and think over what I am going to do tomorrow.

Until the next time take care.
