I just got back from working my usual overnight shift at Target in Brooklyn Park. Today has ended differently from any other day I’ve worked since I was hired by Target. Today ended on a sort of bittersweet note.

Overall my experience at Target has been hard, and challenging, fun and positive…and if I was to be i any other position I’d have chosen to remain at Target as a Team member and I’d have wished to have had discovered it as a job sooner.

Even though as a job I know that it wasn’t somwhere where I always wanted to be…or that I was completely awake for all the time…I really enjoyed the people and the work I was capable to do. The pay was better than I’d expected.

It makes me wish I wasn’t moving to Scotland and that I hadn’t made up my mind to leave. I makes me want to wait till I have more stable ground before I jump so I don’t jump into quicksand.

Today I heard the bad news that the end of my conditional period at Target was none other than this next weekend on March 14th where they’ll either pay me for my time at Target or they’d be offering me a long term position there.

In light of the fact that I will be moving in April which is next month I was hoping that I’d have more of a chance to be able to save up more money for the next month that I am here.

Since I’ve already found a place to live in Scotland I have to worry about living expenses there…and figure out how I am going to pay for my three months there…before March’s end I must pay the 600 rent in british pounds…which is about 700$.

On top of that I’ll need to pay Ms. Rhonda the 700$ I owe her still in back rent and in my current rent for March.

I need money and I need more money quickly.
This is a terrible situation to be in because I also owe my school money and I owe Theta Chi still for my time spent there in the summer 2009.

Everything is coming to a rocky and puss filled pimple head when I thought that things were right about to get better.

I hope that I’ll have enough to survive this next month in one piece.

I really hope this whole thing doesn’t explode in my face or boil over into my chances of making any positive start in Scotland.

For now, all I can do is wait and pray.
