Karma has a way of showing up just when you think there is no justice in this world. A recent financial crisis ment I had to actually beg for help with my utility bills. The roommate thinks that nothing concerns him unless it interferes with his computer or tv or his food. His car has been running very bad the last month. Since he spends all his spare cash for take out breakfast and lunch he has no savings. The starter went out last thursday. He doesn't get paid until the next thursday(tomorrow). He offered me gas money to take him to work so he wouldn't lose his job. I need his rent so I get up at 7:30 am to take him to work. We finally get the car towed to the local Firestone shop and find out that they do not use cheap rebuilt parts. The starter will be $153 plus labor and a $75 diagnostic fee. It still needs a tune up but at $373 for just the starter..(and that is the cheap one) the tune up will have to wait for the next pay day. And he is bitching because he doesn't have any money. I still haven't got help paying the light bill....maybe I should let it get shut off so he will get his priorities straight. Like eating breakfast before leaving for work. Taking lunch. NOT! spending $12 to $15 a day for both. Maybe saving his tax refund for emergencies instead of upgrading his computer so he can play flight sim games 18 hours straight on his day off. Maybe trying to help with the utilities instead of paying for the cable and internet first which won't work without electricity......Who am I kidding. He will never be a responsible adult. But the good side is that I can abuse him verbally because he deserves it. And I can get my anger vented with out killing some innocent bystander. Or I could just tell him the next time he whines all day long that he can always move and I will help him pack!!
