Hello, everyone. I have some good news and some...not so good news.
The good news is that I managed to get enough to cover the past due rent for last month and did not get evicted. Thank you so much to everyone who donated and spread the word. It was very much appreciated.
The bad news...
The bad news is that the job I have been training for over the last two months fell through. The security clearance was denied, and I cannot work with that company without the security clearance. I'm currently in the middle of disputing the denial and (as I have been) looking for another job, but the job situation really hasn't improved.
The best I can do at this point is to keep on keeping on, and continue doing my best.
I'd like to say I'm doing okay with the news, but damnit, I was really hoping this job would come through for me. I hate this. I hate this whole situation. Having the rug yanked out from under me hasn't left me in a good place. I worked so hard training for that security job, and now I find out that it was all a waste. It's...really disheartening, and I'm not sure why I even bothered at this point.
Really not sure what to do, beyond what I'm already doing.
But again, thanks everyone for your help. I can't say how much it means to me that people are willing to pitch in for a friend in need.
I'll do my best on my end. Thank you all for your support, and happy holidays to you all.
Garrett
