Bad I've been planning a small vacation up north at the end of the year. The place where I work normally shuts down between Christmas and New Years. But now, because business is bad, I've been told almost every day to leave early. And since I'm paid hourly, this is making a huge dent in my budget. It's now at the point where, if I want to continue paying for the room where I live (as opposed to living on the street), I'll need to stop buying food. So, things are bad. I need a new job.
