I need to stop telling myself that things can't get worse. Things can ALWAYS get worse. I break my back at this warehouse job, making a neat 12.25 an hour, 30 hrs a week, only pay 200 in rent a month plus 75 for kogie and my phones, a 40 dollar storage fee. Then we lost EBT so now I have to sink 250-350 into food a month. We go out to eat twice and then somehow my money's always gone.

This computer was already a failing POS, then a full soda can slipped out of my hand and hit the screen and this happened, and it's getting worse, the LCD is cracked and bleeding blue and green down the screen. Functionally it's not any worse than usual yet, but I know it's only a matter of time.

I don't have money to get a new one, not even close. Not to mention I shouldn't be working a menial physical labor job anyways, I have a college degree in 3D design and animation. Unfortunately I'm in the asscrack of the Appalachians in Alabama, so there's not shit around here for that. Can't move, can't work online because this thing was too much a total piece of crap even before this happened, and I've been turned down for the higher paying office jobs at the warehouse three times now. I want to just crawl under a rock and not come out for a month, but too many people are relying on me, especially Kogie.

Suffer on, suffer on.

EBT ? Soda ? The few month I was on EBT, i wasn't buying expensive goodness like that, and sode near electronic or sofa is always a bad idea...

Make a journal about open slot, post a sample art that might interest the major public of IB, and you will replace this screen in no time.
Any LED/LCD goes around 20 to 70 buck on craiglist.

@ Chelsea

We went off ebt about 2 months ago, and my mate is hypoglycemic and keeping soda around for him is the simplest way for me to be sure he won't have a crash. Thankfully the can was closed, but being that it's a laptop I'm kind of screwed on it, not that the computer is any good anymore anyhow. I think I'll just find a way to keep up skype and sai so i can maybe take in a few commissions to help save and just be frugal otherwise in the meantime to see if i can't just save for a new computer. I had hoped to use that much money if i ever saved it to move out into our own place, but I suppose this is more important for the time being.

Thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it. Wish you well and hopefully I won't be too hindered to do artwork or this is gonna suck all the more.
