Miscellany and Musings

After a 3 day whirlwind adventure of balancing work with government assistance offices and drug screening for the new job, I got terrible news today.  I was NOT approved for daycare assistance, which means I don't have anyone to watch Joey so that I can accept the new job.  Also, I had decided not to take the apartment with the new job (they didn't have any available anyway) and I asked if they could compensate me with $2 more an hour since I wouldn't be getting a rent free place to live, they said no.  So I do not have a new job, and until I see my store manager at Lane Bryant, technically tomorrow is my last day of any kind of employment.  To make matters completely worse, because I won't qualify for daycare assistance by April 30, I won't get a chance to apply for it again for at least 2 years because Kentucky is shutting down the benefit due to budget cuts.  So Joey will have to wait for Head Start (which is free and through the public school system), but he has to be 3 and mostly potty trained (he's not even ready to wear underwear yet).  And speaking on potty training, I got this DVD at goodwill that is supposed to help sort it all out.  It says to look for these signs that your child is ready...  Joey isn't showing any signs at all that he's ready.  I actually shut the DVD off and started crying.  Such a bad damn day today.

I don't really have anything to say, other than I'm considering starting an anime called K, and I want to watch Fairy Tail, but should I read the manga or watch the anime?  Also, anyone up to date with Vampire Knight? I haven't read it in a long time, and I've watched up to the end of Guilty.  I have had the Hobbit for over 2 weeks and I still have not seen it.  Maybe while I'm out of work I can get on that. *sobs more*
