Work week starts today

Nice thing I already have 7 hours from working on a day off so I can take off early almost every day of this pay period and still achieve my regular hours

So

Saturday I cash my check which all goes to rent

Monday I need to take my stubs to social security office I also need to call social security office or talk to them in the office about my check being the wrong amount

I have probation appointment on Wednesday 7th

I get my next check Thursday 8th I’m going to pay the minimum on supervision but I’m going to pay off court costs

I’ll then owe about $900 to supervision total in February 

February I’ll make another $60 payment bringing me down to $840

In march I’ll make a $180 payment which is the max you can be ahead

This’ll put me at $660 owed

The next step is saving $500 by June 

April 600 may 540 June 480 July 420 August 360 September 300 October 240 November 180 December 120 January 60 February done

Once I get that $500 saved up after march it goes in a safe spot and I’m done with fees

Community service ✔️

Anger management ✔️

Court costs ✔️

Supervision fees ✔️

Appointments 16/22 in June. 9/22 for January 

So at this moment all I have to worry about is not drinking or smoking and showing up to my appointment on time 

500 by June should be pretty simple when my ssi gets back to normal

But the main question 

Let’s say I have 500 in June I have money for rent and bills but nothing else

I don’t plan on touching the 500 I’m just glad to be done with fees

This gives me July-November probably less

To purchase the pounds

July to November is 5 months to save up 2,100

That’s 3 pounds at 700 a pound 

It’s going to be super close

Because I almost doubt they’ll still even be selling in November 

So I may need to dip into the 500 which isn’t much of a problem considering I can only pay 60 a month max after I pay the 180 and I’ll easily make 60 each month

I had planned on getting my first pound this month in January 

But I did not foresee my ssi getting screwed up a month and definitely didn’t see it getting screwed 2 months in a row

Best case scenario I call the office and they notice the error and I get the extra money on my next check

Which will be about $300

The sooner I can get the 500 saved the sooner I can start saving to buy the p’s

And I need to get that done yesterday 

Goal has changed from 20 to 3 but I plan on getting high quality stuff

This will get hidden in a safe spot when they arrive 

It’s 2am now but I slept for like 16 hours yesterday so I’m not even tired

Think I’m going to take a shower pick out my clothes and get some sleep

Biggest thing I’m waiting on now is the 8th so I can cash my check and pay off court costs

110 a month vs 60 a month is a pretty big difference 

I’ve worked too hard on this probation to screw it up

All the community service waking up early doing the work

All the anger management making it to class on time paying for the class

All the fees having to give my hard earned money

All I have left at this point is showing up 1 day out of the month for 13 more months

Just for nostalgia let’s do one of my mathematic examples

A visit is about 15 minutes

13 months has 395 days

24 * 395 =9,480 hours

9,480 * 60 =568,800 minutes total

1 = 15 2 = 30 4 = 60 8 = 120 12 = 180 13 = 195 minutes in appointments 

Meaning out of 568,000 minutes I only need to spend 195 actually doing visits

Just 1 out of 2,912

The actual number is so small

Completely ignoring that it’s gated by each visit being once a month

And only considering the actual time I have to be involved in the probation 

The number for the time would be teenie tiny

0.034%

That’s all I have to give left

I’m like 99.966% done 

Ofc this completely ignores the fact each appointment can only happen once a month

And that is the slowest part

But makes sense to me

On a completely different note something that has nothing to do with what I have talked about

I think people forget how bad school is

7-3 or 8-4

You have to wake up and show up early and it goes on forever a full shift

You have to work and you have like 6+ subjects

You have homework you’re strongly urged to do or you get in trouble

It’s so bad around 4th -6th grade when you finally get in middle school it gets a little more relaxed

And almost isn’t bad in high school 

It is but you’re used to it

Like a martial arts master 

More responsibility basically translates to a more relaxed regiment 

I did a lot of time in jail

And I would say public school k-12 is definitely worse than jail

I’ve never been to prison but depending on your charge I would say it isn’t as bad as prison

Jail then public school then prison

In terms of how bad it is

They say public school is jail for kids and you never really believe it

I didn’t until I did a few months in jail and took about 2 years to think about it

Public school k-12 is definitely worse than jail
