The worst day!

So,I started a new job (as a server) in the city I recently moved to (Msp) yesterday (Now you have to realize that I have about $2.31 in my bank account) Yesterday morning, when I was about to go into my first day, I found out that I had no dress shoes. except of course a pair of dance shoes... I had to wear something, so I wore them (yes I knew the consequences:-( ) and now they are wrecked. I don't know when I can replace them, sad,

anyway, I just thought you would like to know about the worst day of my life.

:( :evil: :( :(
 
Wrecked as in torn, wrecked as in grimy satin, or wrecked as in dirty soles?

Not a whole lot to do about the first. The second they'd still be usefull for practice. For the third, wait until they are dry and then get a sharp shoe brush.
 
Nope. Do over. That sounds flippant.

I've had a couple worst days of my life. The most recent was when I was unemployed, broke, not anywhere near on target in terms of my life goals, in the midst of ending a horrific long-term relationship, and with no prospect of a light at the end of the tunnel. :?

My heart truly aches for you, because I've been there... recently. What can I do to help? :friend:
 
wrecked as in restaurant wrecked, yucky food and water, spilled milk, coffee, mayo, ground and soaked into the souls of me and my shoes.

Thank you pygmalion :? , i've got the recently(previously...)unemployed, broke, no car, unknowing of my life goals except to dance, recently had my relationship ended on me (a relationship that I thought was wonderful, and that everyday was a blessing that I will keep with me), there is a light, somewhere up in the shadows as I view it from an empty and silent dance floor thank you

*weeps
and i thought guy's aren't supposed to cry
 
Try getting some sleep, if you can. At least now you have a job, which is the means to achieving some of the things you want, however slowly. Get some sleep. When you wake up tomorow, things won't be appreciably better, no. But they won't be any worse (which is probably different than in the recent past.)

The shoes are ruined, so let them go. Snow on the ground, right? They're done. You can get new shoes soon. right now, we need to get your hope back.
 
This is probably not what you want to hear, but....

Some of the best things have come out of times that were the darkest. There was a time when my husband and I both lost our jobs within a week of each other. He ended up being unemployed for about 6 months, I found a new job quickly but was under-employed for probably 3 months. We weren't making ends meet. Somehow we managed to wade thru all that, I still don't know how. But not so long after, my husband had an opportunity to start a business with a buddy. That was a long time ago. No, the business didn't turn into some multi-million dollar deal, but one thing did lead to another and here we are, doing a lot better than at that low point. In addition to a plethora of other things, we learned how to identify and create opportunities and not let them pass by. And make them work to our benefit.

If you don't experience the low points in life, you won't appreciate the high points nearly as much. Good luck to you. They are only shoes - tangible objects. Being able to provide for your needs is more important. Shoes are replaceable.
 
Things will get better. I'm sure of it... At one point I had some really nice dance shoes, too, but I found them too expensive to maintain with the wear I put on them. So they slowly disinitegrated until they literally were in rags, with holes in the front and all. Just last month I found a nice pair of danceable dress shoes at payless shoesource for 20 dollars. Now I have shoes that I can use to walk into a dance and get right onto a dance floor and have received comments from many people on my "nice" shoes.. Time and looking out for opportunities always will get you out from your dark hours. I
 
Hey tanzsegler. I'm worried about you. Please check in when you can. PM me if you don't want to post publicly, okay? :?
 
Hang in there, tanzsegler. Dance shoes are nice, but you can still dance without them. You've got a job now, and you've got dance. Keep on dancing.
 
crying is always a good thing.. but the heart keeps strong and u move on .. always move on.. sorrow be it or happinness.. things change and so it will change again.. u keep movin on (and i dont mean the dance shoes here) never cry over material stuff.. it is replacable.. so long as u are healthy, its good! .. oh yes.. and dont forget to laugh at yourself.. it'll make smiling easier..

YUp. I have danced in sandals many times. I actually get admiring comments because of that. Turn your lack off into an advantage my df friend.
