I'm finally being allowed to go back to work..and now I have no money for work clothes.*headdesk*

I mean really.

Short background: Husband finally got job he'd been waiting on since last September (out of work until June of this year); but they aren't giving him enough shifts, and paying him only $45 a shift instead of the promised $75. We can't find out why. So we're still scraping by and counting change.
The other clubs in the area had banned me from working because they were afraid that husband and I would recruit employees to come to the competition. And I wasn't supposed to be working at husband's club because he signed a non-fraternization clause in his contract. So I was basically frozen out of any viable work in my area of 'expertise'; shall we say. Unless I wanted to drive two hours to Charlotte or one hour to Raleigh every day I worked (kind of a hard thing to do with his schedule and a five year old).

Well, the new GM at husband's club has known me for over 10 years and got a dispensation for me to work, provided I work opposite shifts as husband (fine with me; saves on babysitting). But now I need two outfits that cost over $150 (and have to be shipped to me). Spend money to make money, you know. Of course we don't have it right now,and I will be lucky if I can manage to scrape it together in time to get it ordered and here so I can go to work ASAP (I was planning on next Friday night).

I'm so frustrated I could scream..I finally get a chance to go and help provide for my family (in a good place where ppl know and like me and it's clean and drug-free); and now I can't see my way clear to get there. I'm *this* close. Arg.

:rant:

Please vibe that the extra will materialize/that I'll be able to squeeze it out of the rock that is Labor Day weekend.

...and on that note; I hope you all have a great one,if you bothered to read my rant.
