    I’m gonna have to suck it up I think, and just get another call centre job - that way I can pay for driving lessons, rent and bills without being fucked in the arse, and then I can apply for industry jobs when I have my Ps.

    I can lie through my teeth and nab another cc job; “I’m totally gonna be here long term”, “yes I believe in the vision of your business” - then I can bail when I have the rest of my eggs lined up.

    I can do it. Deep breaths.

      Yes. I’ll be hard, specially after your last experience. But there is an end date. Get a cheap calendar and mark off the days. Even just a few weeks of salary will build up an emergency fund and give you some (financial) peace of mind. Something else that might be useful in your situation - short term/casual cleaning contracts. My sister did this for a bit to cover a financial gap. Basically picking up rubbish after events. She got lucky and got a contract to do Flemington after race days. Good money for very flexible work. And the head contractor provides all safety equipment etc. Given that you’re close to public transport and venues this might be worth looking into.
