Tax Disappointment

btw- you can claim moving expenses-according to the accountant that did my taxes last year.

So, after doing my federal taxes, I find that I'll be getting $62 back. If I hadn't had to go on unemployment, it would be $263. I only made $8,000 last year as it is, and $62 is about what it cost me to get to and from work for a month and a half. I did a lot of work at a shit job for shit pay for 10 months, got fired, and now I have no work and less than $100 to show for it. That's not even one month of a student loan payment.

I know. No one care.

How do you live on 8K, you fucking bum? Get a real job.

I did phone surveys. Everyone hated me because they thought I was selling something. Even my parents called me an evil telemarketer. I just couldn't find a better job then I got fired from that one and haven't been able to find a job with a liveable wage since.

i'm doing that right now!

except mine's easier, b/c people actually want to do the survey. it's for the world trade center health registry.

i'm curious-how much do you guys make to do this? i did it before, in college, and made $8/hr. now i get $14 for the same shit and benefits. maybe you guys could just look around and find a place that pays better?
