YH BS in The Wanderer

Well things have just gotten worse and worse at the ole YH. I understand it is “slow season”, but going from being able to pick up virtually any shift, to having us scramble for shifts is just ridiculous. Plus they are going through some crazy hiring phase and there are SO many servers on that most of us are just getting three shifts a week. And I am one of them that not only is getting few shifts, but the shifts I am scheduled are horrible. The last few times I have been there it has been a joke. And I am not even complaining about not making money, more so of the politics behind everything. Shady things are happening and I just don’t get it. Today we randomly went down to only three servers on the floor, which was absolutely retarded. I didn’t have one free moment to get any sidework done, let alone get a cup of water or pee. I was scrambling for six hours straight with 12 tables at a time. I just kept watching myself get sat over and over and over and only two other servers on, meaning it was a shit show with no one to help run drinks/food. Then at the end of my shift I was called into the managers office to “have a talk” about how I wasn’t prebussing my tables today. UM!?!? WTF!!! If I wasn’t at the “I seriously don’t give a shit” phase, I would have lost it. Luckily I was able to make 130 bucks. But was it worth it? Hmm.. I keep asking myself that. Next week I have two shifts. I gave up a patio, knowing I was first cut meaning I’d waste gas money driving there and they would just send me home immediately. Then I have my breaker shift, which I plan to milk as long as possible making 15 an hour. And Monday night first cut shift. I seriously don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have a second job. I would be so freaked out. I -absolutely- LOVE my second job. Everything about it is awesome and I love being there. I have been getting more and more hours there, and less and less at the YH. I think eventually I will leave the YH and work full-time there. I can’t wait for that day. I was hoping when I started school that plan would happen, but it just looks like it may happen much sooner. It all depends on MONEY. I have two grand saved, I want to save at least 5 grand before I move out with Derek. That means I have a little over three months to do that, and the way things are going, I don’t know if I can reach that goal! My debt has been stressing me out lately. My credit score has gone down much more because of stupid school loans. I’m just hoping the Lexington Law thing will actually help me out there. I want to have at least a Fair credit score. Fuck. My cell phone contract is up next month which means I can go from paying 100 a month to 30 a month/no contract. That would help me a lot. I’m doing pretty good at being frugal, and I know I will eventually have my bills down to 150 a month. Cell phone, Jasper’s pet insurance, and my car insurance. I need to figure out what is going on with my health insurance, but so far I am pretty sure I am on MediCal which thankfully is free! Once my credit score goes up a bit, I can stop being 100 a month to LL. Eventually I will have a car payment. I don’t want that anymore than 250 a month. So 400 a month is my max for things excluding rent. Rent I am hoping no more than 600 a month depending on where D and I find a place (We are thinking Highland!) That means 1000 a month living expenses. I think I can do it, but I don’t know if I can just working at the deli. Agh. Why is living so expensive? I seriously can’t wait to have a REAL job and eliminate 90 percent of my worries.
