I see flakes and it's not even snowing. in Since OD is shutting down....

Ok so I was super tired yesterday but had to get up early to make car payment and go to the bank before work. I spent the whole day wondering if I was actually going to meet up with this lady that I had talked to over Facebook about watching her kids. She said that she would message me in the morning and never did so I got tired of waiting and messaged her. It would take her an incredibly long time to message back and that was starting to be a red flag. Well, we finally agreed on coffee at McDonald’s about 4 pm and we were able to meet up. She was roughly around my age and her kids were 5 and 6 years old. She seemed a tad immature for her age, or to have kids that old, wouldn’t shut up but not very open about where she worked, didn’t give me her phone number or even give me a rough idea where she lived. I found all of this to be somewhat odd when she knew all of these things about me.

She said she wanted me to watch them last night about 7pm and we met for about an hour so I had a quick dinner with my friend at Perkins and then rushed home to wait for her. Well about the time she was supposed to be here, she messaged me saying that her boss didn’t need her so she wasn’t going to bring them over but asked about tonight. At this point, I’m starting to pick up on bullshit and games. I was pretty pissed last night that I gave up just staying at work or getting more time to hang out with my friend, as I don’t have much time to have a social life as it is but had to rush home just for this person to decide they didn’t need me. Ok. Then, sometime today she messaged me (I slept until about 1:30pm since I was tired as fuck) saying that she found someone willing to watch them for $50 every night and then messaged again saying how this was such a great deal and she was pretty much deciding to have this lady watch them for this price when just last night she even asked me what I wanted for pay and then we agreed on $12 an hour but then today she said that because they will be sleeping most of the time, she would prefer to pay a flat rate. Okay, well at this point I was just sick of the whole deal and decided to block her. I felt like I had enough of my time and energy wasted on someone who wasn’t totally sure on what she wanted or whatever, so I am now done with it. Now, I just hope she doesn’t get nutty and try to fuck with my life because she knows where I live and where I work. She doesn’t strike me as someone that would but ya never know.

I was just hoping that because things didn’t work out with the home health aide, that I could just make some extra cash on the side watching kids on weekends but that idea got shot down because of a damn flake. I knew when I met her that it was probably going to be on of those situations so I’m not surprised but this cycle with people gets really old. I just feel like she wasn’t comfortable paying me what we had agreed on so she had to tel me that she found someone who would do it cheaper, as if to make me feel obligated to say that I would do it for that amount if I wanted to do it at all. No, that’s not gonna happen. People need to understand that I’m not going to just take peanuts because that’s all they feel like offering.

Since it didn’t work out with this bitch, I posted a CL ad and see if anyone contacts me that isn’t going to flake out. I’m definitely glad I have a real job so I wouldn’t have to worry about making my money by babysitting like I did before but I would love to do it even one night every weekend for some extra cash.

It’s been a very tiring week and I’m glad I get to just be at home. It’s been cold as fuck lately and that itself makes me super fatigued. I’m gonna be so fucking glad when spring gets here. I seriously can’t stand this shit. And today, it’s cold and dark outside so I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere. I love when I have days off and I can just hang out at home. I just made a lasagna and I can’t wait to eat some.

I don’t plan to do anything tonight whatsoever. I just want to hang out by myself, watch tv, and just enjoy being warm.

Anyways, time to eat dinner and find a good movie.
