I have been down the last 2 weeks. I had to quit job because they reduced hours to like 10 a week ! And supervisor is asshole. I hope to find something soon. I'm so used to working a lot before Christmas. I miss dancing before Christmas. I also need my wisdom tooth pulled it has been bothering me. I have to have it done by a surgeon.I am taking antibiotic now. Hope to get it done soon . All this Vivirus stuff is so depressing. I hope to feel better soon .
I hope everyone else is feeling ok this year is tough.
I hope you feel better soon, wisdom tooth problems can be so awful.
I'm doing allright, it's interesting how people are behaving after many months of Pandemic and mask wearing- or not. I had a girl at work refuse to wear her mask even though we have it posted that masks are required inside the building- she relented after about 15 minutes and put one on. I think people are going to be less panicky about Covid once the vaccine is widely available.
Me too ^ This was the best time of year for us in NYC =[
I also always banked during this time :( oh how I miss $$$$$ :( November, December and January are always great months!!

Ugh.
I was honest with Unemployment and put my weekly income ( I was earning a small amount early Sept - early Dec. ) in.
I stopped doing my claims for two months.
I was making enough that I felt like I didn't need assistance + wouldn't quality for it any more.
I missed some sort of email where they wanted a statement about how it is still affecting my business.
Now I'm trying to figure it back out ! I think I need to open up a whole new claim .
It's so cringe inducing. At the TIME I was getting that little amount I was thinking " oh what if this messes me up later ? ".
Now I haven't had any income since Dec. 7 and need help again. :/
I'm fighting some paranoia tonight because I really don't *want* to be doing this again but I also can't just earn nothing at all.

my thoughts exactly
most people’s mortgage n rent is more than that.
My job has been slow af so that money unfortunately will be gone as soon as I get it. Ideally I would invest it so I could turn 600 into 1500+
I think everyone should’ve received at least 2k.
The government should at least get this money out quickly before New Years. Ain’t got time to be playing with them when they money was needed like yesterday

I have to say, even though the $600 is a joke, I'm feeling much better now knowing that soon I'll be receiving weekly unemployment payments again and I won't have to do my grocery gig to survive. I'll be receiving about the same amount in benefits as I do working all week. Relieved that I won't have to go out and about to make money, because I've been nervous about getting sick. At least now I can take this money, find a better place to live, and hole up at home and finish writing my book.
^^forreal the 600 is some BS!! They have let all benefits laps since September 5, unemployment was the last to still be there and now not only do they not give us the 300 retroactively for all these missed months but only 11 weeks going forward but they cut the stim in 1/2, damn, tf r people supposed to do w 600, eat finally?? Lbs cause it sure isn’t paying nobody’s rent/mortgage. And the last cares act funding for that was BS btw, they found a way to never pay of course!

It’s only 300 per week starting dec 27th right? And until March 14, no backpay right?? Just so I’m making sure I understand this correctly there really doing this?? Lol

I'm pretty sure this is how it goes.
$300 a week, but I also receive $167 a week in unemployment if I don't work. So I'll be getting $467 a week for not working. Which is pretty much on average what I get if I do go out in the covid jungle and bust my ass all week. Thankfully I didn't catch covid as far as I know. At some point I feel like I should take an antibodies test to see if I ever had covid in the first place. Kind of lame they're not including any sort of back pay. I swear to God our government is so cheap when it comes to taking care of its actual citizens.
^^right this is bs, I mean my club has been closed anyways for most of this whole time with a few weeks being open, so like wtf and restaurants also have been closed a lot through this whole thing, I mean I get about the same as I do weekly which without the 300 is freaking useless but then think of those that get 50$.. and that’s what the majority of the hard hit industries employees get.. I mean we work on tips so u know it’s not really all there, that sure is haunting lol. One thing I saw they r giving states the ability to forgive overpayments that aren’t your fault which they r taking 25 percent from me for non at fault overpayment so I’m gonna need that BS to stop!

This is roughly what I think I'd get too which sounds fine ( better than nothing ).
I can survive on roughly 2k a month . It just isn't easy.

I'd rather stay home and finish writing my book and work out every day and get paid $467 a week than run around delivering groceries and risk getting sick for $467 a week. I agree, better than nothing, though they should have retroactively paid us as well. At least 2 months! Oh well.

Thanks. I got an 87%. All my classes really helped me a lot, but the test isn't too expensive ($65,$75?). You can always take it again. My school friend said she she passed the first time after being out of school for 10 years.
If you need any advice PM me. I’m always happy to help another SW.

I actually called UnEmployment. I don't think I'll get assistance for that Dec. 7 - 21 timeframe I didn't have anything.
I have to restart the whole thing and it just seemed discouraging ( and slow ).
If things are still open to gig workers / self employed after Jan. 1
I think we actually have to WATCH and see if it is.
The month isn't over haha.
I will just scramble and run a deal ect. for the business and try like hell anyway.
I was going to work BOTH angles. Apply for the assistance and also get a day job customer to give me a retainer ( if it's marked as fully refundable with cancellation terms I can legally take it but technically shouldn't spend it ) . I would of course just need to spend the retainer to pay bills but it was at least a work around since I don't have ANY booked jobs in the next 14 days.
Sighs. ;/

So I ran this deal ( a scaled down version of our normal service clearly stating it's good in Jan. and Feb. ONLY ) and my one lead that bit today wants June . Lol.
Now I guess I'll scramble to come up with a June deal just for them ? Haha.
Anything to just claw a payment out of a customers hands .
I'll tell you one thing. Those of us who can survive or run a business through this shit are absolutely going to kill it financially when the vaccine comes out !

Me trying to explain to my dog as my roommate hears me yelling lolll.
Me: no you can’t do that and walk away from it!?! I said you need to leave the room because I have to go.
Dog: totally pretending he’s stupid. It’s a pit bull thing. They know but they LOVE to play the stupid card. No you aren’t! Looking astonished I ask you to lay on your very own 250 dollar bed in the living room. Please big baby! Hahaha. Girllll this breed lol.
Very same dog does this wide eyed glance and contemplates where his next place on my queen bed where he will lay instead of when I put his own bed back in my room. Hell he don’t need his own bed. He just wants mine.
Hate/love him. I plan on getting another pittie in a couple years when he’s gone. He’s getting way up there in his age. Love this spunky breed.

I have confusion why the vaccine is taking so long .
Isn’t it worth whatever $$$ it takes to move this faster to get the country going again economically ?
I wouldn’t be surprised if in a year we find out that politician xyz and pharm company xyz were negotiating bribes and slowing it down.
Meanwhile everyone I know is living like they are in college again after a decade of being functional adults / working professionals.

Right! I came here to post the same thing! WTF! I keep googling, “when can I get the vaccine”. As soon as I get the vaccine, I can go back to work! I need the money!
I’m sure once Biden takes office the rate of people being inoculated with the vaccine will increase substantially. The vaccine will allow everything to open up. You would think they would be pushing those vaccines in every one arms 24/7! You’d think they’d call up everyone in the military and start vaccinating people like we’re at war.
It’s like our country had a baby and they didnt read any of the What To Expect When You Are Expecting books.

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if you all remember me but I occasionally post here, I’m not very consistent with my posing sadly. However today, I was just checking up on everyone. It’s good to see how some of you are doing good, moving out of that horrible family living situation, or finally getting that government money that you need.
I hope you all don’t mind but today I need to vent and get these words/ emotions off of my chest, so bear with me while I'm sing my pity song.
So recently my SW money has not been able to keep up with my bills that’s constantly growing. My apartment complex just raise the rent and I’m already at the bare minimal when it comes to my living expenses. So there’s nothing I can cut out of my budget. Today is January 13 and across a total of three websites and multiple phone sex lines I have made an estimated $120 in the last 13 days. I want to cry and scream on top of my lungs because I don’t know what I’m going to do for this months bills.
I have been applying to vanilla jobs but I keep getting denied. I either don’t get a call back or email from the employer, I go to an interview but don’t receive any word back, or if I do receive a response back I always hear the following words “we don’t think you’re a good fit for this position and we have decided to go with a better candidate that has better qualifications for the position or more applicable experience for the position.” I feel so fucking lost, I have been applying to jobs that high school student/college students could get but an individual like myself that has a bachelor’s degree and nine years of work experience can’t even get a job that pays $10 per hour.! You want to know whats funny, I made more money when I was in college versus what I do now after graduation. I even got denied for dog walking! Dog fucking walking, I’m not qualified enough to even pick up dog shit! Like really?
I feel so demoralized, pathetic & ashamed. I hate this! I need a change, I want a career change so badly. I’m done, I’m fucking done with customer service / call center jobs! I want a career, a real fucking career. Something that will make me $40k per year, bring me joy and make me proud to say I’m in this career field. So I decided okay, If I want a career change what are my skills. So I made a list of what I can do/ do have versus what I can't do/ don’t have. All I have to say is, once I finished writing that list I cried my eyes out. I have more things on the list of what I cant do verus what I can do. I realized the only real skills I have is eating, shitting and sleeping.
Sigh...
I have a total of 15 days before my bills are due and my total bills this month is a little under $2,000 and I only made about $120. I have no friends or family to ask for help, the governmental programs in my area for rent assistance only let you apply for assistance once you get an eviction notice. Which makes no sense to me, why would I wait to get a eviction notice & risk having the government not come through with assistance until 2 months later. At that point I would be sleeping on the streets. My biggest expense is housing costs but I can’t get a cheaper place to rent because I don’t have money for a deposit to move and I’m currently am working strictly as a SW so i dont have paystubs. Plus, most apartments are fucking expensive in my area. I would need a roommate to financally breathe better and not have so much financial fear.
I need a job like now, any job, something that will start asap. But no one will hire me!! I want to scream, I don’t qualify for unemployment.
I don’t have a reliable car to work delivery jobs, I can’t work physically demanding jobs because of my bad back, I’m too fat to strip., and most men don't find me sexually pleasing so I can't even sell pussy if I wanted to & webcamming isnt for me because again men don't find me attractive. And to make myself more attractive I.e. Loose weight will take 3-4 years. My bill's are due in 15 days.
Any suggestions:?
Try to get the ppp loan, you should be able to apply by next Wednesday ish is what my bank has told me, you can use last years wages and show you lost income this year and to get a new place, use your bank account when you start having a steady flow of $ come through it and tell them your self employed.

Find a sex work group like SWOP-they sometimes have grants
Honestly it’s in times like that I just get on my knees and pray. Take things one day a time. Seriously take a deep breath right now. Start making phone calls to see what resources there are. I don’t even think you can be evicted? I thought there was a hold on evictions. I got a loan and went back school. You really just need to knock on every door until one opens. I know having health issues makes it hard. I’m having health issues that make it hard to work, so I can empathize with feeling powerless and overwhelmed. I’m praying for you. Just know this isn’t your fault. Everyone is struggling. Marginalized people have it the hardest right now.

I believe don't the uber/lyft drivers get some sorta bonus on start up and you can borrow a car from them for extra? Basically you would be driving a lot.
I was sold on parking my ass driving people around after hearing a college student driver was making like 800 a week full time even borrowing the lyft/uber car rental they have I believe if you research. I obviously can't due to my driving record. But you have instacart, and door dash you can do as well while waiting between rides on lyft/uber? Just trying to be helpful. I know you talked about dog walking.... was it the wag app? It is good in big cities?

the other thing is we should be getting another stimulus check soon, so I would just stay put until you get that next check. They don’t want to evict you, so even just paying half now and half later. Evictions take a long time, so stay put and keep looking for ways to create income.
As far as not being attractive enough for sex work. The right clothes and make up cam do wonders. Sex work is the only thing I know that you can make a living wage right now
I highly doubt you’re not attractive enough. I think with the right make up, clothes, and attitude you can find clients for your niche. I’m an old lady, and I seem to do okay...lol.

True. Always money in this biz. Personality and glamming up.
You got this girl!!!
Getting organic juice ordered today. I try my best to maintain positive spirits. I'm not sure where to go with schooling at this point nor do I wanna do it in person. Doesn't matter anyways because I can't find in person class for the rest STILL. FUCK. It's hard. I dunno I want to move forward but shit can't we zoom this? I just don't wanna get sick but I want to complete my degree and feel proud. Is that so much?!
Watching doctors and nurses die from this....no thanks.
Frustrated every time I watch the news wondering when it's over so I know what to do? California is worse than NYC right now with covid. can't we reopen nursing school on zoom?
Yes, I want this too!! I feel like there gonna make us get vaccines by this fall or u won’t be able to go which I don’t like n don’t know what to do w either! But still wanna get done!

Yeah they most likely will make us get vaccinated.
It's a blessing i didn't get accepted in the spring program, but it's frustrating.
I did okay with my prerequesites online, but I would wait until the vaccine is out, and things are back to normal for nursing school.
I'm so frustrated! My arm is F'd up from camming. I had to tell my doctor WHY my arms are so jacked up. I'm really ready to be healthy, for the world to be semi-sane, and to get back to a happy, healthy, prosperous life. I'm staying positive, but it's mental olympics.

I don’t have a reliable car to work delivery jobs, I can’t work physically demanding jobs because of my bad back, I’m too fat to strip., and most men don't find me sexually pleasing so I can't even sell pussy if I wanted to & webcamming isnt for me because again men don't find me attractive. And to make myself more attractive I.e. Loose weight will take 3-4 years. My bill's are due in 15 days.
Any suggestions:?
These are going to be some unorthodox suggestions, but since you're basically saying that you're not at all conventionally attractive is there a way you could try maybe camming somewhere like MFC(Idk what sites you're already on) and try to make money off of your personality? Like, you know how there's chicks on there who just play games and stuff and build followings off of guys enjoying their chatrooms? Or you could try trolling to make money? Like take on some sort of over-the-top personality or cater to the feeder fetish? Since you said it would take you 3-4 years to lose weight it sounds like you're seriously overweight, could you try youtube? Start a weight-loss channel, because people love to hate-watch them it can lead to lots of views.

Your landlord can give you a " dummy " type notice also in order to apply for that assistance.
I wouldn't consider that fraud or even a lie ^. Times are tight and you NEED the assistance.
Indies suggestion to try door dash is good too. I would do it just during lunch hours and make $20 or so and then during dinner hours make $20-$30. The key is to always be maxizing your time ( like bring I-pad to do day job emails or whatever you need to get done when waiting ). When I did that I lived in an urban core and found my little lunch / dinner peak hour plan the best .

Hopefully big Pharma and these politicians can get done with their bribing / butt fucking each other routine and get these vaccines rolling.
We can all finally go make decent $$$$ again !!
Without clear vaccine timelines my day job customers are frozen in fear to book. I put they can book with a fully refundable retainer on every platform I have . My business caters to travelers . If they don't have the confidence to book their travel we will continue to be stalled.

Hi everyone, I’m not sure if you all remember me but I occasionally post here, I’m not very consistent with my posing sadly. However today, I was just checking up on everyone. It’s good to see how some of you are doing good, moving out of that horrible family living situation, or finally getting that government money that you need.
I hope you all don’t mind but today I need to vent and get these words/ emotions off of my chest, so bear with me while I'm sing my pity song.
So recently my SW money has not been able to keep up with my bills that’s constantly growing. My apartment complex just raise the rent and I’m already at the bare minimal when it comes to my living expenses. So there’s nothing I can cut out of my budget. Today is January 13 and across a total of three websites and multiple phone sex lines I have made an estimated $120 in the last 13 days. I want to cry and scream on top of my lungs because I don’t know what I’m going to do for this months bills.
I have been applying to vanilla jobs but I keep getting denied. I either don’t get a call back or email from the employer, I go to an interview but don’t receive any word back, or if I do receive a response back I always hear the following words “we don’t think you’re a good fit for this position and we have decided to go with a better candidate that has better qualifications for the position or more applicable experience for the position.” I feel so fucking lost, I have been applying to jobs that high school student/college students could get but an individual like myself that has a bachelor’s degree and nine years of work experience can’t even get a job that pays $10 per hour.! You want to know whats funny, I made more money when I was in college versus what I do now after graduation. I even got denied for dog walking! Dog fucking walking, I’m not qualified enough to even pick up dog shit! Like really?
I feel so demoralized, pathetic & ashamed. I hate this! I need a change, I want a career change so badly. I’m done, I’m fucking done with customer service / call center jobs! I want a career, a real fucking career. Something that will make me $40k per year, bring me joy and make me proud to say I’m in this career field. So I decided okay, If I want a career change what are my skills. So I made a list of what I can do/ do have versus what I can't do/ don’t have. All I have to say is, once I finished writing that list I cried my eyes out. I have more things on the list of what I cant do verus what I can do. I realized the only real skills I have is eating, shitting and sleeping.
Sigh...
I have a total of 15 days before my bills are due and my total bills this month is a little under $2,000 and I only made about $120. I have no friends or family to ask for help, the governmental programs in my area for rent assistance only let you apply for assistance once you get an eviction notice. Which makes no sense to me, why would I wait to get a eviction notice & risk having the government not come through with assistance until 2 months later. At that point I would be sleeping on the streets. My biggest expense is housing costs but I can’t get a cheaper place to rent because I don’t have money for a deposit to move and I’m currently am working strictly as a SW so i dont have paystubs. Plus, most apartments are fucking expensive in my area. I would need a roommate to financally breathe better and not have so much financial fear.
I need a job like now, any job, something that will start asap. But no one will hire me!! I want to scream, I don’t qualify for unemployment.
I don’t have a reliable car to work delivery jobs, I can’t work physically demanding jobs because of my bad back, I’m too fat to strip., and most men don't find me sexually pleasing so I can't even sell pussy if I wanted to & webcamming isnt for me because again men don't find me attractive. And to make myself more attractive I.e. Loose weight will take 3-4 years. My bill's are due in 15 days.
Any suggestions:?
You say you have a bachelors already, any chance you can get yourself into a grad school in order to get student loans? My grad plus loans have been saving my ass during this time. Of course we will have to pay back later, but for now, it keeps a roof over my head. Wishing you a speedy solution!!

I think covid is starting to get to me more than it has been. All signs are pointing to 2021 not being much better than 2020.

^^^^I’m done with it! We have a sex worker support group every Monday if you need some virtual connection and they do free therapy https://pineapplesupport.org/
If Biden does what he says he’s gonna do I think things will get better soon. Another $1400 would help me pay off my credit card. Man I hope we get debt forgiveness! I could be debt free by the time I start nursing school.
I think this is beginning of the end. I’m so over it! They say we need to wear masks and social distance after the vaccine, but I probably won’t. I’m sorry, but life has to get back to normal. They can’t expect people after getting vaccinated to social distance and mask up. I need to work. I can’t do that with COVID restrictions. I’ve made sacrifices, but after getting vaccinated I’m going back to normal. Unless Dr. Fauchi says otherwise. This is going to be a lot like the flu-getting vaccinated every year.
