In a 3 month long journey to somehow lower my Sprint bill, it just keeps going up, and so I finally started blowing up a the poor rep who happened to be at this stage of the journey with me. And did he handle it with kindness and compassion? Yes. Did Mr. Charlie bring me to tears because I finally had to explain why it was so important that I get this bill down and that what they are quoting me is real.
It's just plain crap when you're in a hole that someone else dug for you.
You end up trying to maintain a life that simply has to change and you come face to face with the struggle of accepting that you are now in a different set of circumstances that need to be adjusted to. So you start "cutting the fat" with yourself so that the ones you support don't have to notice that life has changed. Food stamps, food pantries, shopping at Good Will, the kids don't really notice that especially if you do it when they are not with you.
But don't take away the cell phones! That would just make it too obvious that we aren't where we used to be. Lord Jesus Christ I just don't know anymore about anything.
