I hate work

For those who don't know me on LJ, I quit my job in January of this year. This was the second time I've done that with the same employer. Every promise they ever make me ends up being broken and I get totally frustrated dealing with their incompetent employees. After 8 years, I'd finally had more than enough and, after a week of not showing up, left my boss a nice letter saying I just couldn't deal with it anymore, and left my keys to the building in the envelope.
After a couple months out of work, they called me up and asked me to do a little work (help with the General Ledger and some computer things) as an independent contractor. They gave me a 50% raise, but, of course, I had no benefits. Originally the plan was for me to teach Diana how to use the computer system to handle all the accounting work and teach James how to handle price updating. So, half a year later, neither of them has the slightest clue how to do anything more than they did before because it's just easier to make me do it. They're treating me like a full-time employee there again, which is the last thing I ever wanted. They don't expect me to be there 8-5 M-F, but they are relying on me for all the same old shit.
I had a rather nasty case of Insomnia at the beginning of this month. In a span of six days, I got about six hours of sleep total (two on one night and four on another). I have no clue what caused it (probably just general annoyance at my situation), but I was too exhausted to even consider going to work. I started catching up on sleep the next week, which made it nearly impossible to work because I was sleeping all day. So now it's been about three weeks since I've worked at all. I'm actually afraid to even go in because I know if Jim is there, he's going to give me shit for not working more. The problem with that is if I don't go in, I can't get paid, and if I don't get paid, I can't pay the rent, and our landlord is going to start eviction proceedings Monday if he doesn't have a money order in his hands.
I really don't know what the hell I'm going to do.
