Here I go, trying to continue to create a better world while my own basic needs are not being met. I took a job at the university that works to increase early childhood literacy in low income areas of Seattle. Yay, good for me right? Well, kind of. We are in training right now, meaning there are only six paid hours a week. Oh yeah, and the training didn't start until week three of the quarter. So as it stands, and while I try to be an upstanding citizen, I only have nine hours of paid work this quarter. I sure do love the kiddos, but do I love them enough to forgo making my credit card payment (and risk my interest rate going up to 32%?) What do I do, say to the children, "sorry kids with poor parents, I have bigger problems than your educational future?!?!"
Perhaps CitiCard will understand. Aren't large lending corporations known for being benevolent and caring? Oh yeah, I remember now- NO - they are not.
So that leads to my next upcoming post- Should I participate in medical testing for money? Stay tuned!
