It just pours. I haven't really discussed my issues much of late, a few people know and some of you could tell since my "return". I've mentioned a few things in other posts here and there. I was laid off in the winter and was off a lot longer than I was supposed to be. So my presence on the site was limited. My brother isn't one to share, and didn't want me using his internet, it got to the point where I was only allowed on when I had to do my EI reporting every two weeks. After returning back to work I was informed by my part timer that he won't be able to come back until the summer, but he would come in to help me when he could. He's done that once and was supposed to again today but couldn't. Turns out he's lucked out anyway, business has been piss poor to say the least since reopening, so I don't even know if I'll be able to have him back to work in the summer.
Right now I work by myself all day from 8-5 during the week and 8-12 on Saturday. There are days where I have maybe one or two customers, and they aren't always paying customers. There's more to the story but I won't bore you, basically my boss just expects everything to be the same before we closed for such a long period of time with no effort otherwise. I barely bringing in enough to cover my wages, and live pay cheque to pay cheque, my own fault though, I kind of ran up my credit card once I got on my own. So I only have myself to blame for that.
I joined this site a few years ago because I was lonely living out here, I don't get out and shy away from people, unless I'm at work. Some of my customers would probably tell you I won't shut up. People actually have to sneak towards the door to give me the hint they want to leave. I have no friends here or family, I go home to my mom's every weekend where my brother still lives. I worked for a bad guy before the job I currently have, the things he did really messed me up. As some may recall the town I live in was hit with an F3 tornado almost 2 years ago, I had a rough time then. I realized how alone I am when I had to live upstairs at work until the area I live in was reopened for residents to go home. Since then it's been up and down. Being laid off was rough, I bonded pretty well with my part timer, we don't hang out because he's too young, we just got along really well. He's pretty much the little brother I wish I had, and a better brother than my twin is. He could always tell when something was bothering me and would get me to open up to him. He never judged, never dismissed what I told him, he just sat and listened, and offered a hug. He's a bit of a hugger and isn't shy about it. But that's just at work, outside of that he really doesn't want to acknowledge we're friends, which I understand, if I was him I wouldn't either.
I usually play DCUO (DC Universe Online, an MMO) when I'm at home to help pass the time. Most of the people I used to play with aren't playing much if at all. So I just keep to myself and do the solo stuff. Well, today I try to log in to the game and can't get in. I try to log into the station site and find out my account has been banned. Apparently I'm supposed to have received an email as to why my account was banned but there isn't one. Someone screwed up. I don't bother other players, I don't curse in chat, I don't hack the game, I don't do anything that warrants a ban. This is just another kick in the ass. I can't seem to get ahead, every time I start to feel a bit better something always happens to bring me down.
Sorry to ramble on.
