OK so there's this new person at my job, a young lady who just moved here from Georgia. She's 24 and has no family in the state. Yesterday, she told me that she was waiting on funds from her aunt and that she was trying to figure out what she'd be doing for the night, and asked if she could come back with me for an hour or two until she gets the word from her aunt.
I'm fiercely protective and private when it comes to where I stay and who I invite to come in, so instead I booked her a hotel room to stay in for the night so she didn't have to worry about everything and had more than enough time to relax and sort things out.
I checked in on her today at work and she said everything was fine. She told me that things were good and everything was in place. I was glad to hear that. And just glad I could help in general.
But now she's texting me saying she's pretty much still in a bind with her aunt, waiting for stuff to come through, etc. At this point, I'm ignoring the texts and calls as well. It seems like she doesn't have her ducks in a row. And on top of that, it bothers me that she said she was expecting money last night, but it never came.
So your temporary "hour visit" at my place could've possibly turned into an all nighter? I'm glad she doesn't know where I rest my head. And happy I trusted my gut instincts. It seems like she's bitten off more than she can chew.
It's bothering me that she may be stranded.

But another part of me is saying that I did what I could, but I cannot continue bailing her out. It's becoming a pattern now, and frankly I feel the need to nip it in the bud immediately so she knows.
