Oh, just a little certainty prz?
So… I booked a flight to return to Mississippi near the middle/end of November attempting to dodge holiday travel costs…
I found out yesterday that my company is doing a global worksite shutdown for the last two weeks of December. Fine and dandy for the people on salary who’ve scheduled vacations for that time. Not so fine for us poor hourly contractors with no paid vacation. This means three weeks with no pay in a two month period – I don’t know how I’m going to manage it.
You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do though, right? I decide I’ll just move my flight plans to the end of December instead. Only to do this, it’s going to cost me an additional 150 bucks. On top of which, I still have to contend with the fact that I’m going two weeks in a row with no pay, during fucking Christmas AND at the end of the month when rent is coming due.
Boardwalk on the Sonoma coast
Ahh, things will work out. They always do. It’s just a little stressful. Or a little more than just a little stressful. My face is starting to look like a pubescent girl with the amount of breakouts I’ve been getting from stress. Ironically enough, I never had breakouts when I was a pubescent girl. What’s up with that?
Sometimes it feels like I will just never get ahead. It’s always something. Always some health crisis, personal crisis, or financial crisis. I don’t ask for things to be easy, but it’d be damn nice if they could just be certain.
On the bright side, NaNoWriMo should now be somewhat easier to take on 
I think it might be a really good weekend for a trip down the coast. It’s been a good while since I’ve done that but the temperatures have gotten pretty nippy around here so it might be nice to bundle up in a million layers of scarves and jackets and soak up what’s left of this year’s sunny days.
