Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML

Today, I have -$700 in my current account, $500 from overdraft fees because I spent money they told me I had. I don't get paid till the 15th and when I cash in my paycheck all of it will go to bringing me even. So the $9 I found in my wallet this morning will have to last me untill the 30th. FML

Today, I thought I was having a nice day at work, until I had a client who paid me $376 in rolls made of 0.05 and 0.10. It took me an hour to count. FML

Well, only 210-1/4 hours to go until you're Even Steven! Drink lots of coffee! Hopefully, your workplace provides free coffee or you'll have to work more hours to cover that cost.

$28.00/4 hours = $7.00/hour Can't get over the math error!

this is actually the right advice... this scenario shouldn't be a thing but it is. find a better job, or look into what schooling is free right now (my area is nursing due to not enough nurses). get more than 1 part time job. you have options especially with how many people are quiting and trading up. it's unfair, I get it, been there, but you gotta do more than complain on here.
