Could a payday loan help with the old things that need fixing?

What old things need fixing?

Oh, the economy, my finances; a payday loan could help with both.

Old economy; old problem.

Everyone thought the financial fiasco would end on December 31st, 2008, and thus reduce our need for a payday loan. End of year means end of the chaos, right? Not so. This opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings and so far, she hasn’t even rented studio space for her warming up exercises. We all thought that at least things couldn’t get much worse. Ha ha!

The U.S. economy, pillar of strength and confidence for the whole world to gaze upon, is crumbling faster than many economists had feared. Employers are now slashing jobs by the thousands.

How’s your job holding out?

My job is still there. I work from home so if the office or the boss wants to talk to me, it means an email or a phone call. The emails are okay –I hear the ‘pinnnggg’ noise of an incoming email, and I can read the contents without even opening the letter on the screen. A quick scan reveals the contents. It’s the phone calls that I can’t handle. Every time the phone rings I go into a rigor of fear. I am sure it’s the office calling to say come in and collect your pink slip and final check. I’m a nervous wreck.

Old age?

I wonder if the boss knows that I am actually unemployable because of my age. I’m not going to tell him, and in fact I will go to great lengths to make sure he never finds out. I’ve been working happily for the past ten years. I took the job when I retired from the previous place at age 65 and I decided that I needed another challenge, another activity to keep me occupied.

The focus of the work interested me and there’s nothing wrong with learning a new subject at age 65. I somehow skated my way through the interview and have managed very well ever since. I need the work to remain sane and I need the work to stay alive.

Old finances; old problem.

I use the Payday Loan system regularly and it helps me out of some prickly situations. In my world there are a lot of ‘old’ things. The house is older than me and it’s showing definite signs of rapid decay, unlike me. Last month, in the depths of winter, the boiler went. This was rapidly followed by the oven, and now there’s an electrical fault that keeps blowing everything out and I can’t find it. The fact that I can’t bend far enough to peer into the belly of the switchboard recess doesn’t help either. I hope the electrician will be reasonable but it’s going to take a Payday Loan to get it fixed.

I will not bore you with the details and ailments of my car. Let’s just say that my car now runs on repair money and not fuel. Much of the time it just stands around awaiting reclassification as a collector’s item.

The Payday Loan solution

The Payday Loan solution is great and very convenient. I don’t even have to get onto my creaky old legs to file an application. I can do the whole thing from my seat in front of the computer. Have I told you about my computer and its incurable virus?
