I think im in need of a vaca
The story
Summer started great. Needed some extra money so started two new jobs on top of my regular. Was great for the summer since i dont have money to go anywhere. But then it all went downhill when summer ended as did my contract with the extra jobs. Summer job nr. 1 boss says she doesnt have money so cant pay for (the remaining half of) my work so she owes me money. ((Paycheck due 1 month ago)). Right in the middle of this shitshow of back and forth messaging trying to get through to her i get sick. The flu. A MONTH LONG FLU. Coughing like crazy.. and im still working two jobs because i have to earn money and the doctor wont let me take sick leave because of a flu for a month. I WORK AT A CATERING BUSINESS. I went to three weddings with the worst flu and Im just sooo tired. Sick tired and broke. Because of all the stress, I now am overthinking everything and im slowly going insane.. i cant be the only one right?

man, that really sounds rough! juggling multiple jobs is hard enough without having to deal with bosses not paying up. can't believe she thinks it's okay to just dodge you like that. and working at a catering gig while sick? brutal. the flu loves to linger but a whole month of it must be exhausting as hell. i get why you're stressed out and overthinking everything, who wouldn't be in your shoes? hope things look up soon and you get paid what you're owed. hang in there!
You're not alone, dude! trust me...
Wow, that's a tough situation you're dealing with; 😞 I can't believe your boss thinks it's cool to just not pay you like that, it's so frustrating when people don't keep their word. I've had times where I felt like I was drowning in work and sickness too, and it really takes a toll on you physically and mentally. Hopefully, things start turning around soon for you; try to hang in there and take care of yourself as best you can!
that's an incredible amount to juggle at once. It's crazy how some bosses think they can just skip out on paying employees as if bills and expenses can wait! 😤 Having to work while you're under the weather only adds to the stress, I totally get it. Perhaps focusing on one thing at a time might ease the overwhelm; easier said than done, but sometimes breaking things down helps make it all feel a bit more manageable. Hang in there, brighter days are ahead! 🌞
Sadly, winter is coming so darker days are ahead
Soon we wont have sun at all 😅
ah yeah, it's like that in your country! 😅 here, it will just be shorter days... and the arrival of good winter meals (cheese fondue, raclette...) but I can"t imagine how it is to have a period without the sun!!
holy sh*t, a month long flu :o
Stress can do that.. havent had time to take sickness days or a short break because had to somehow make up for the paycheck i didnt receive 😮💨
