I am 19years old. I have a moderate case of Tourette’s Syndrome and a severe case of OCD. I have a part time job at a grocery store and go to community college full time. But in order to go to school, I had to move out of my parents’ house. I live with 2other students. We struggle to make rent, pay the bills, and buy food. To make things worse, my mother just recently past. My main concern when attending her funeral, “how will I pay rent? I’m missing 2weeks of work.” But very few people cared, especially my boss.
I AM THE 99%

I work 60-80 hour weeks. Liz works 50+ hour weeks. We are always doing something but I always feel behind. There is always something more that needs to be done. My shop hangs in the balance. The economy has taken it’s toll. Liz’s job has been on the verge of closing it’s doors for 3 years and now is closer than ever before. We have spent our savings and invested our lives. We are 1 bad month away from being homeless while working a combined total of 500 hours a month.
A week in the life of a 99%’er. This is a very abridged version. So much missed.
我每周工作60到80个小时。莉茜每周要工作50多个小时。我们终日忙碌，但我还是觉得【我们】落在了别人后头。总有很多需要做的事还没来得及做。我的商店只能勉强维持收支平衡。
经济危机造成的损坏已经开始显现出来。3年来莉茜的工作单位一直处于关门大吉的边缘，现在的情况更是糟糕。我们已经花光了积蓄，把一切都投入到维持生存之中。我们俩加起来一个月要工作500个小时，却总是离无家可归只有一个月的距离。【意思是只要有一个月没有收入，他们就付不起房租或房贷，变得无家可归了。】
Monday: 5:00 time to drag my ass out of bed. Wake the wife and take meds to my son that has turrets’ and bi-polar.
6:30 head to the gym. Run on the treadmill or the bike for 30 min and then 60 min of resistance with the group then off to the shower.

Saturday:
7:00 Slept in today! Grab a coffee and head into the shop. Work at the shop until 6:00 even tho I close at 4:00 on Saturday. Head home.
6:30 head to the gym. Workout from 7:00 to 8:00pm. Crazy hard working tonight. The weekend class is ALWAYS the hardest.
9:00 get home and take some much needed personal time. Watch some tube and catch up on my reading for class. Tonight is going to be a crazy night.
Our son is coming home tomorrow. As he has some challenges we need to make sure he makes every point of his adventure home. I went to bed at 12:00 and set my alarm for 2:00am. Got up at 2:00 and call him in Ottawa to get him up. It was 5:00 his time. Spent 30 min on the phone with him as he packed his bag and got set. At 3:00 spoke to him againto make sure he had not fallen alseep and that he was headed to the cab. At 3:30 he gets to the airport. To help him from freaking out we work out where he needs to go to check in. at 4:00 he has not gotten his boarding pass and headed to security. By 5:00 he is at the right bay and good to go. I nap for an hour then back on the phone to make sure he is awake and ready to board the plane. News come in that his plane now has a 4 hour late. I slept on the couch for 3 hours and then in bed for an hour. My loving wife woke me with a nice bowl of some yummy eggs!
Sunday:
12:00 head out to do some shopping. Out for 2 hours.
2:00 get home and start on my chores that have piles up over the week. We live under a whack of oak tree’s and the leaves are falling. Spent almost 2 hours cleaning up our leaves as well as the leaves of the two places on either side of us.
4:30 Clean the living room and help Liz in the kitchen.
5:30 liz heads off to get the boy from the airport. I am tempted to sit down and relax while she is gone. I feel I have not done enough this week as some places in the house still need some help. So many things still to be done.
6:00 I decide to say screw anything else and sit down and for the first time in 25 years watch some cartoons on the TV.
