As some of you might know, I'm currently staying at my parent's house while I recover and try to get a head start on saving money and restarting my life.
There are NO jobs available where I live. I have applied at 4 different places (not clubs) and have received no callbacks, and when I called they said they aren't hiring right now. I have literally been everywhere I can that will hire me based on my skills/experience, and no place is hiring. This is due to the economy and the season, it's the summer.
So.....My plan was to work a part-time day job and then have a night job (which my parents think is cocktailing/waitressing at a nightclub/restaurant).
My mother is extremely neurotic. My parents put my phone on their plan, as I have absolutely no money right now and can't afford a phone right now. My parents also have this GPS locator thing on my phone, and all my siblings phones, so they can look us up and find out exactly where we are. I don't feel comfortable leaving the house without my phone, for safety issues, but if I bring it with me to work, she can look me up and find out where I am. The only way to make the locator not work is to turn the phone off. However... because she's neurotic, if I turn my phone off and I'm gone from 7pm-3am she might freak out.
The only thing I can think of doing is calling her right before I get to work to let her know I got there, telling her I have to turn my phone off and put it in a locker because i'm going to be busy WORKING, and then calling her as soon as I get off to let her know I'm coming home. The only problem i can see with this is that if she wants to get a hold of me during the time i'm working, she may call the regular night club I said I'm working at and ask for me... and i obviously won't be there.
I'm almost 20 and she's still neurotic about everything. When I was living away from her I would go to work and leave my phone on and she never located me there to my knowledge, but this is probably because of the time difference, when I was going to work then it was midnight her time, and when i came home it was 6 am her time.
It's just really getting on my nerves living at home but I have absolutely no choice or other options. I have no friends I can stay with, no relatives, no money. The only thing i can do to gain independence again is to work my ass off, which I plan on doing , both with a 'regular' day job and dancing, because it will be the quickest and most efficient way. If I were to just work a day job, 45 hours or so a week, I'd still be only making 1/4 of what I could make combining it with dancing 3 nights a week.
I am going to go to the phone store and see if I can get my own plan without switching the number, because that would be the most ideal situation, especially if I could get text messaging, because then i could just text her and let her know i'm find but can't talk. I just seriously don't have any money to do that right now!! A plan with text messaging and the lowest number of minutes costs 70 dollars a month, and i'm sure there's activation fees and all that. I've had this phone since i was a sophomore in hs, and it's only 35/month, which is why i haven't gotten my own phone b/c it's affordable for my family and it's on a contract, so there's been no issues.
what should i do? Should I just turn my phone off when i'm at work and hope she doesn't freak out and want to call me or completely drain my bank account and get my own phone? I have no money. all I have is 70 dollars to my name atm.... on account of my idiot boyfriend stealing 800 dollars from me, my last LL stealing 1000 from me, and my current last ll STILL not paying me back my 700 dollar deposit. everything just sucks.
