I just found out that the savings I thought I could access are unaccessable. Which is really, really bad considering I'm unemployed and what I am drawing in assistance isn't enough to even pay rent let alone gas and electric. I just ran down to DHS real quick and applied for Temporary Assitance for Needy Families, but basically they said because I'm single and don't have a child I'm going to get rejected. So my rent check is going to bounce. Hopefully my landlord is understanding enough to not evict me right away. I really don't know what to do now. My ability to make it until work starts again has completely unraveled. All this in the course of the last hour. I'm trying really hard to not have a panic attack, but it's not gonna work.

I am sincerely fucked and there's nothing I can do about it at all. I usually can figure my way out of things, but this I can't. I don't have anywhere to turn. Not good. Not good.

Why can't the funds be accessed?

The good news. Even if you did get evicted it would take about 30 days or longer. When is work starting up again?

I know you are feeling really stressed, but all the offices are closed right now so try to let yourself breathe a little. You have done what you can at the moment. You might want to tell the landlord about the situation. I think folks are a little more understanding right now because everyone is going through it.

I am thinking of you!
Is there anything you can sell?

Man, I'm sorry to hear this. Money problems suck ass.

Yeah, I would just be upfront with the landlord and let him/her know the situation. If anything, they might give you more leeway, as a lot of people probably don't stop to give that kind of consideration in advance.

If worse comes to worst, how do you feel about asking friends and family for help? How much would you need? I don't have a lot of money right now, as I'm also unemployed at the moment, but I could probably kick down a $40 paypal payment toward a "Save Snake From Eviction" fund. smile I know you're good for it.

Either way, I hope it all works out.

Only in Hollywood can problem situations be resolved in an hour.

Keep working on it. You will think of something.

Talk to some investment guys. They're usually willing to advise for free, and they would know more about what to do. With money, there's always a way. Just watch out for taxes; they can come back and bite you hard.

As to classroom pjs...I try not to think like this, but...
