An Open Letter To My CEO (somebody call a whaaambulance)!

I left college, having majored in English literature, with a dream to work in media.

-snip-

I also desperately needed to leave where I was living. I could get into the details of why, but to sum up: I wanted to die every single day of my life and it took me several years to realize it was because of the environment I was in.

-snip-

I like the weather up here.

-snip-

I put a bunch of debt on a shiny new credit card to afford the move.

Will you pay my phone bill for me? I just got a text from T-Mobile telling me my bill is due. I got paid yesterday ($733.24, bi-weekly) but I have to save as much of that as possible to pay my rent ($1245) for my apartment that's 30 miles away from work because it was the cheapest place I could find that had access to the train, which costs me $5.65 one way to get to work. That's $11.30 a day, by the way. I make $8.15 an hour after taxes. I also have to pay my gas and electric bill. Last month it was $120. According to the infograph on PG&E's website, that cost was because I used my heater. I've since stopped using my heater. Have you ever slept fully clothed under several blankets just so you don't get a cold and have to miss work? Have you ever drank a liter of water before going to bed so you could fall asleep without waking up a few hours later with stomach pains because the last time you ate was at work? I woke up today with stomach pains. I made myself a bowl of rice.

Alcohol was involved, LOL
And it was only about 50 miles away.
Which back then on US 23 was probably half an hour.

They actually did a block segment about this girl on The Five today. If infamy pays, her whining could be a boost.

The Sanders campaign will hire her for a campaign ad on how much better her life would be under Burneyism.
