Save and move out

I haven't had too much sleep today.

I woke up to go to the project, only to find out that Richard didn't want me coming in today because he's going to be moving a whole ton of furniture and stuff from his old place into his new place. Because of this, I thought I may be able to catch up on sleep. That never happened though. I got maybe 30-60 minutes of sleep before Mom's asshole boyfriend started banging on my bedroom door telling me that I supposedly told Mom that I'd go and claim unemployment today. Since no one will listen to me, I went along to the Job Centre to go and claim it, only to be told that I'd have to do it all online. So, that turned out to be a waste of a journey.

When I snapped at Sean about it, he told me that they don't want me to claim the money to hand to them, but instead want me to claim it so I can save it all and get an apartment in the New Year or something. This just shows even more just how dense Sean is. Of course, the money saved in the two months before New Years will possibly get me an apartment for a couple of months, but after that, the amount you receive every month would not cover the costs of the apartment and all. So, as I've said before, I really need a JOB if I wanna move out. The cash from unemployment isn't going to get me a place or anything, especially in only two months of saving. Honestly, I don't think two months of saving the unemployment cash will get me an apartment for any longer than one month.

It's pretty clear that Sean just wants everyone thrown out of the house. I would love to move out and just have nothing to do with him anymore, but there is no way in hell that unemployment benefits are going to cover the cost of an apartment and food and everything else. The question is, am I the only one who understands that? Unless it was an extremely cheap apartment, I'm not gonna be able to move out by relying on unemployment.

I need a JOB if I want to move out, and I'm having a hard time finding anything. I've tried for a few jobs, but I've never gotten anywhere with them. No one thinks I'm trying though. Everyone just seems to assume that if you really do apply for a job, you'll get it no matter what. If only it was that fucking simple!

That reminds me. Yesterday while I was out at the field with Richard, he was chatting on the phone to someone about money for the project, and was talking about all these ideas he had on his mind for how we can make money for it, but that it's just that. Ideas. We really need a plan for something that will be a sustainable area of business. I was asked for ideas, but I really don't have any. He then wished his father was still around because he had a great mind for business.

Earlier today, I thought that maybe I should talk about it here, and see if any of my readers have any ideas for a sustainable area of business for this project. Several ideas we've got are like making garden furniture, making apple juice and all, but things like that are only sustainable if we have good crops of apples and all. Any good ideas from you all?
