i don't know what to do

i want to go to texas with my sister when she testifies at the trial but doing so makes me miss two weekends of work at 'nards and a week at dtg. that is about 500 dollars. i really can't afford that since that is about a third of what i make in a month and i just got back on track and christmas was this month. should i go and just say fuck it to my bills or should i not go and miss out on this whole thing (and seeing my buddies in Joplin?).

I think it is time to get a regular job that has work for me.

dude, you're so going corporate. you love it. you want to have, like, ten thousand of its babies.

yeah, i think i will go, it just hurts to think about not making any money for that period of time. hopefully i'll get a good tax return.

corporate is ok. :P it pays well, i get insurace (i haven't been to the doctor in over a year) and i would be able to afford my lavish lifestyle.

Can you work extra at 'nards before the weekend? That's what I do at my night gig, but I don't know how your schedule works out...

Or work the corner the weekend before? That might make up for a bit if you can drum up enough bidness.

i might be able to work more at 'nards, the only problem is that i make an extra 2.50 on the weekends which means i have to work 42 hours to make up for the 36 i'll be missing.

and it is jan, a slow time of the year even on the corner.

we'll see how this interview goes. i'll get a bunch of hours if it looks like i won't be getting this job, though i am perfect for it

Blood is thicker than paper.
Be there to support Serinia.
(How is she, you and the rest of the family btw?
and thank you for the cool Christmas card ^__^)

good point but my condo is pretty important to me and i would rather not lose it.

serinia is good, all us holmboes are good i guess.

I must have missed something, what is all this testifying about?

oh, serinia was assulted when she was in the army and she must testify against the guy. TWO YEARS LATER.
