Hmmm I’ve got 550 in the bank right now.

Car payment will kick off on July 1st, and I wont be able to cover it unless one of my small contracts pays me soon.

Auto insurance will be due on July 7th, for 600 for 6 months. I might be able to get that lower if I can switch back to USAA finally. Will have to look into this when I have the time. I think the three points finally dropped off my license.

I can’t apply for unemployment because I am working a contract job right now and they’d just deduct my hourly wage from my unemployment check and it would zero it out quickly. Sigh.

I still owe Discover card like 3800, gah, I want to pay them off so bad right now. They are calling 5 times a day and I just let it go to voicemail because I have nothing to give them.

I owe USAA like 1250 or so, but they are far nicer about dealing with me and I try to return the favor as best as I can when I have the money.

Of course this doesnt cover the money I am going to be paying my parents back, as well as the money I still owe Mike and Tim. God, I hate owing friends money right now. They have been totally awesome about it but I hate having to let it drag on for so long.

I have a lunch meeting with the guys from PivX in Irvine on Wednesday. I have NO idea what they want to talk to me about because when I talked to the guy Wednesday he basically said “I havent figured out yet what I want to talk to you about, I need to figure my plans out”. Which leaves me wondering why the guy asked to talk to me in the first place after reading my resume.

I’ve got to schedule a lunch meeting with Andrea Hoy next week sometime too, she sounds like she wants to use me as an assistant or something of that like. Probably cant pay awesome money but the experience and getting to work with someone like her in the industry would be a big help to my career I think come time I finish getting my degree.

I’ve made zero progress with regards to dating likely but thats mostly because I have to really conserve my money so I havent gone out much nor had the energy to go out much what with the work for the port contract I’ve been doing along with having to get all my paperwork in order for UC Irvine. (Ugh, more money I need to pay my parents back for)

My job hunt has basically stalled outside of the two lunch meetings I am going to next week since now I am a student looking for part time work that totally changes the dynamic of what I am looking for not to mention that very few places actually are looking for part-time anything unless we start talking about retail hell or the services industries.

I’ve also started Atkins and I’m going to ressurect one of the bikes out in the garage so I can start doing some bike rides around along the resivour like I used to do back when I was 18.

I’m going to be videotaping a massive fireworks show up in Ventura for the 4th of July. I might be doing this on the barge where they launch the fireworks from, not sure yet. Should be fun!

I just feel like I dont have anything that I can depend on right now outside of my friends and my parents. I know that in of itself is pretty awesome but dammit I dont want to have to be reliant on the good will of others I want to be self sufficent again.
