I called the cops on RM1 last night. There has been something building here (with a minor) and while I could ignore it and stay where I am until the end of the lease, I couldn't have ignored it. I'd rather be the bitch that called the cops then the blind fool who let some guy do stuff he shouldn't have. I'd rather be wrong (or too early) calling the cops, then right and ignoring it.
What that means, though, is that I now have a *very* uncomfortable living situation. Even if RM1 doesn't know who made the call yet, he will eventually figure it out. So I'm gone from here at the end of the year.
What that means in real words is that I need to figure out what I'm doing next year- and *next month* now.
I still have really no idea. I can probably sell about 1/2 my crap for cash, and that's something. I can build my internet stuff as fast as possible. I can write articles as fast as I know how.
I still need to know where I'll be on January 5. Where I'm going from there. When I'm moving on, and what I'm doing next year.
My options have been:
- Go to Mexico, write, maybe teach english.
- Hike from Georgia to Maine.
The first would mean (probably) leaching off someone for about a month. The second can't really start until the middle of March at the earliest. Which means 2 months or more staying with family. Not cool.
Well, it *could* start earlier, but difficulty, danger, and expense all go up if I start before the middle of March. Everything with that hike gets easier the closer to April I start. I can start earlier by starting farther south, and working my way up to the "official" starting point, but that also adds cost.
Up-front costs for the two are about the same, with hiking being (maybe) a bit cheaper. Family is *probably* a little more comfortable with the idea of me in the US. But there's no real way to earn money actively while hiking, so any money I need I'll either have to already have, or have some way of earning without direct work.
What it really comes down to is that I have one month (instead of two) to build a $500 a month income stream, *and* to earn enough cash to move/ buy what I need. Which is pretty crazy. All while avoiding RM1 and his mother.
I can haz stress?
I am not sure what is going on with RM, but if there is a minor involved, I'm glad you called the cops.
ReplyDeleteWhy not just move to elsewhere while still work at that one place that recently hired you? I'm very lost at your train of thought... hiking?
The job is only holiday, and is almost over. I need something to do next year. I was thinking about mexico, but also about doing some (very) long distance hiking. I need a better place to live until then, but it's not long enough to find another roommate situation or rent a place- no one wants to rent to someone for 2 months.
