more details

while folding laundry in my laundry room, my roommate starts of saying "part of the reason is my dad, and the other reason is the job down here." As i listened, he went on to explain that he doesn't work much and he's on making the rent to pay me so he's not making any money to cover bills back home and factor in the airfare, he's in the hole. I actually thought he works a lot, i mean for weekends when he's here, he works saturdays and sundays and he always works late, he's usually in after 10pm, normally close to 11pm. Do i think he makes $550 a month (which is rent and utilities)? No. But i do believe him when he says it's not what he expected it to be. Air fares cost about $200 round way (rough guesstimate) so twice per month is about 400 and i still think past that he should still have something left behind. Unless he means to say he makes $950 a month which i doubt. I mean when i worked at jeff as an externed i made close to that working 60hours per pay period. times when i did 72hours, i broke it.

he also went on to say part of the reason is that his boss told him today he's thinking about quitting. The part about the dad, i believe simply because he mentioned him being diagnosed with something a couple weeks back. The part about barely scraping rent to pay me, i don't believe.

I think a big factor is how hard it is for him. i know he mentioned it's hard for him and i know he's concerned about his wife which adds onto it. The last time he was saying something about how his wife has been doing something since he moved (can't remember the specifics) but i think it boils down to him rethinking the decision and realizing it's not worth it. I mean factor in being away from his wife and having to spend an extra $950 each month, i doubt if he's making more than he was making back in michigan at the end of the day.
The less than 12hour notice is ludicrous and plain absurd. i can't believe he was expecting some type of a refund.

Instead of being worried, i'm looking at the bright side and thanking God this happened at a time where i met my financial goals and don't owe ahm. That makes me very thankful to God. What will tomorrow bring? i don't know and i'm not going to worry about that. I'll just pray and commit it into the Lord's hands.
