Friday misc.

"I don’t have to work tomorrow". 

It’s an endless loop running in the back of my mind.

I’m pretty ok listening to it.

So, I went to get food stamps (now known as SNAP).  I downloaded the application yesterday and took it to DHS and got an appointment today to talk about it.  I took what I thought I needed with me, but had no check stubs to prove I had income.  I didn’t have any because I have NEVER gotten one from the newspaper guy – paid with his personal checks, as a matter of fact.

Every so often the back of the envelope the check came in had figures on it regarding withholding and taxes but DHS laughed at me when I dragged those out.

"Nooo, we need real ones".

I foresee problems regarding this newspaper work.

Unemployment has different figures on my pay than I gave ’em….  I think the boss was lying to them, and it looks like I’m holding the bag.

Be careful who you fuck over, bud.

***

I gave DHS his phone number – until they hear back from him, no food stamps for me.

Please see the line before the above.

***

I got back in time for the Thanksgiving dinner the building put on – in fact, I got two pieces of pumpkin pie.

***

I used up my money first before I applied for food stamps.  Maybe that was a bad idea – if there isn’t going to be any food help for god knows how long-

Well, no worries now.

It’s Friday night, and I DON"T have to work in the morning.

(chance of snow is rising, all the way down to the valley floor tonight, and very cold tomorrow.  All next week is well below freezing at night)

Timing.
