[State of the Me] This week has been a nightmare y'all. Sites have already been reporting about the layoffs so I think I'm safe to vent now.
King of Games
So Monday I took PTO to have a long weekend
King of Games
Tuesday I wake up to an email saying that the landlord is going to sell our place with no additional information other than we need to film an 8 minute video walkthru for him (????)
King of Games
get into work sit down, imediately get called into HR:
Layoffs
A job offer from a different Dev studio
Complete uncertainty of when I can leave / start

UH....
King of Games
I'm not laid off, but i'm not a 'future employee' either.
Grimme
Holy shit, dude.
King of Games
and then Wednesday they shut down Volition, and layoffs at Blackbird
King of Games
AND THEN
𝓟𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓻𝓪𝓰𝓸𝓷
Holy SHIT
King of Games
i get home from work Wednesday to a notice on the door that the mandatory fire inspection/vent cleaning of our dryer which is going to be $120 is payable only by check.
I have not written a check since 2008. So we have to tear the place apart looking for fucking checks which when I find a pack has an address from 15+ years ago on it.
King of Games
I email the property manager to be like: Uhhh about this selling thing? My lease ends November 30th, are they not renewing it? What's up?
And then they respond with: Your lease ends november 30th which is several months away
King of Games
NO ADDITIONAL INFO
King of Games
also i know the lease end date i literally just told you. And it takes more than a month to find a new apartment?????
King of Games
But wait there's more!!!

My Pet Insurance requested vet records for our cat starting in January 2023.
Plurk Frands: Our cat was born in March.
King of Games
and they're like: well we need records from January.
I do not know what to tell you bro. I gave you the stuff from when we adopted them in MAY.

Also in less bad news and more embarrassing. My mom bought my birthday dinner thru door dash with her credit card. I could have sworn i immediately deleted her card off my account.
I did not.
I spent like $450 in door dash on her card.
Which is an embarassing amount of money to admit to my mom that we spend eating out because EVERYTHING IS ON FUCKING FIRE.
🥳𝑤𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑦🥳
like what are you supposed to do, track down the father and get cat sperm?????
🥳𝑤𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑦🥳
aww
King of Games
(That was the 2 weeks that Gloom almost died and we were not up to cooking and couldn't leave the apartment really because he was so touch and go and also in a cone.)
ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴋʏ
all of that in one week is horrendous :/ so sorry you've been having such a stressful time!
King of Games
RIGHT??? What am i supposed to do about my 5 month old cat who didn't exist in January.
ĴÎŊ𝟡ŁȜ ☯ Ħ三ĿĿŠ
ohnoooo
Grimme
This is all dreadful, man. Sorry you're being put through the wringer, especially about stuff you can't help with, like YOUR CAT NOT EXISTING
🥳𝑤𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑦🥳
i can't believe also they're laying you off with no certainty of like, when you can WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE wtf are you supposed to do???
ĴÎŊ𝟡ŁȜ ☯ Ħ三ĿĿŠ
everything is so much but I would also sink through the floorboards accidentally spending that much on my mom's card omg
ĴÎŊ𝟡ŁȜ ☯ Ħ三ĿĿŠ
what a fucking cherry on top
King of Games
Fortunately she has the money to cover it and I'll give her cash when I see her, it's more that I want to literally die that she can see how much cheesecake factory we ate.
ĴÎŊ𝟡ŁȜ ☯ Ħ三ĿĿŠ
valid at both the consuming and the dying abt it
King of Games
/sob
King of Games
there's honestly probably more but it's been such a shit week that I'm just exhausted from everything.
The vent cleaning was this morning and all was well and they didn't care that my check had the wrong address.
ĴÎŊ𝟡ŁȜ ☯ Ħ三ĿĿŠ
at least there's that but fff
King of Games
Also the cats hated the cleaning because they basically pulled the dryer out and ran a leaf blower through the vent to push all the lint and dust outside. (it wasn't really a leaf blower but that same sort of sound)
TRON
Oh man, I'm so sorry that everything's been so awful lately
King of Games
Also this is why I'm slow with tags lol.
King of Games

like it's turning but it's not heating. And I can't think of anything the guys cleaning the vents might have done..
Grimme

ꜱʜᴏᴡᴛɪᴍᴇ!
a bit too coincidental that it broke right after they cleaned it tho
King of Games
at this point it's just kind of ridiculous...
