Jerzei Collie's journal

I wanted to accept a two-delivery UberEats order listed for today, but I wasn't sure how big the orders would be. The last time I accepted a three-delivery order, I discovered two of the orders would not have fit in my car. I wish UberEats would let its clients review the exact contents of the orders to make things easier.

 I helped my dad make another of my mom's recipes Friday. This time it was spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was completely made from scratch. I took home some of the sauce and meatballs after dinner, and Dad had given me a box of spaghetti with my groceries on Thursday.

I thought my interview for the on-air talent position was supposed to be at 2 PM. I shaved and put on a tie for this. If I don't hear from anyone by 3:30, I'll go out and do deliveries.

UPDATE: The contact person told me the position was already given to someone else, but he offered to apply for me at 10 more positions. I asked him to guarantee I would be hired by one of the companies and took a screenshot of our conversation. I talked him down from $300 to $100.

For the Rabbit Hole, I will need to take March 28th off as well. Back when the show was on Sundays, I was free to drive my dad to church on Saturdays. After the show moved to Saturdays, the driving was done by my brother and sister-in-law. Both of them will be going on a cruise over the next 7-8 days, so that means I'm the only one left to drive Dad to church tonight and next Saturday.

The depression part is knowing my dad will be very disappointed that my tax refund vanished within a week because it was supposed to last four months. The furry artists had started asking me to leave reviews for them on Fiverr by pretending to order more art. I thought they would use the money to pay down what I owed them for the art I actually ordered, but that wasn't the case. I sold some of my stocks from my Stash account to pad my account a little, but that is also running low. I really hate myself for allowing myself to be manipulated like this. I've been working extra DoorDash and UberEats shifts to make back at least a little money.

I got a huge red flag this morning when the person supposedly hiring for a media position messaged me. I received all of the documents I had paid for, but the person's latest request is definitely not okay. After using legitimate methods to pay for the services, the person wanted me to make a payment by buying an Apple gift card. DON'T EVER DO THIS! IT'S A SCAM!

It's a shame that the position I'm applying for might not exist. I hate reaching out for help only to get hooked into a scam.

A couple of the furry artists I commisioned are in Europe. They don't seem to understand the time difference between Europe and America because they keep messaging me on Telegram between 3 and 5 AM when I'm usually asleep. The only time I see those messages is when I need to get up to pee. There really is no excuse for this when sites like worldtimezone.com can tell them the current time in any location.

I woke up to good news today. I checked my account, and my tax refund will be deposited on Monday. I will tell the artists I owe money to that I can pay them on Wednesday or Thursday.

The good news came after I woke up from a bad dream. I dreamt that I was driving and crashed my car into the end of a guardrail. I seemed to be all right after the crash and wondered why the airbag didn't deploy. I'm glad that was just a dream. I've only had my new car for a year and don't want anything bad happening to it.

There's another weather roller coaster this week. Saturday will have a high of 72 with a chance of snow Saturday night, while Sunday's high will only be 27. Next weekend will reach the low-80s.

Happy Birthday to "Bird One" of Avian Invasion (a.k.a. Matthew Ebel.) He's doing a special Twitch stream today. After he's done, I'll watch DJ SQWRL do his usual Tuesday mashup stream.

I got awakened by one of the furry artists who did a ref sheet for me. Even though I corrected the artist, the ref sheet still incorrectly refers to Jerzei as a "border collie/fox hybrid." The artist tried to hit me up for more money, but I refused.

On Friday, I made some macaroni and cheese for dinner using my mom's recipe.

During the Rabbit Hole, the Second Life server disconnected around 3:45. I was able to reconnect a minute or two later.

There was some rain and snow last night. Most of the snow had melted before noon.

As I feared, the furry artist whose Telegram account was frozen signed up again under a new name. The first thing this jerk did was give me another "surprise" artwork I didn't want or need.
