I'm so quacked. The *wealthiest homeless person you know. Everything went to shiz today. I have to leave my current residence by Sunday. All of my best laid plans went to shiz so there is nowhere to go. Thank God for a Honda civic otherwise I'd be sleeping in the streets.
Starting Sunday morning I'm undomeciled(sic...homeless). I'm trying to stay positive about it. But wow this quacking sucks. I have a job that pays a not bad living wage but due to circumstances I'm actually gonna be homeless (with a car which is a home if you're REALLY homeless) in 48 hours!
It seems idiotic but I'm trying to view this event as something to be experienced. Come what may.
Obviously no Internet and I'm gonna miss you folks but I'll be back.

*money in the bank but no place to go.
Dude, do you need a couch to crash on til you find an apartment or something? I has one.
Thanks for the offer. I have a very strict "Don't Impose" rule that I live by. I'm in the process of trying to book a couch tour w/ no more than 2 nights staying at any given location, see above mentioned rule. I've got a couple leads on places but the application process sounds like it will take a few days. The place I'm currently at is owned by a friend but he and his fiance need to move back in. It's a loft, and a small one at that, so I'm not going to ask them if I can crash on the couch (which will take up half the space in here!). It's been a few years since I've had to deal with finding a place because I own a house in tucker, but I can't stay there because my x-gf is living there. We have an awesome post break up relationship but it is the way it is and I'm not spending the remaining 58119 characters explaining all that. Dig that irony, a homeless homeowner!
I'll take you up on your offer. I'll PM you my contact details. I come with the following amenities:
I love to cook
I'm not a slob
I'm entirely self contained and self sufficient
I have a supernatural sense of "welcome" and intuitive grasp of not overstaying it. ;D
EDIT: Used since instead of sense. it was driving me crazy I had to correct it.

These terms are agreed to. Now you must know the following:
I have a cat. He's a loud talker, and the odds of him walking on you in your sleep are high. Very high. If allergic, bring benedryl.
I keep my house at igloo-like temperatures. My address should have "Yukon Territory" in it. I dont change it for nobody, no how. If that's a problem, bring a jacket
I live super crazy close to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. I also like to eat. These two things are the opposite of mutually exclusive. This also goes along with your love of cooking... apropos, no?
;D Maybe we will see you at the braves inforoo extravaganza this sunday too?!

It's true CKS! Any further yay-ing, will be discussed in the Yay thread Im not as sad a panda anymore, either.
Everyone back to your GRRRRs. Although, if this thread never had another post, it'd really be fantastic. But since we're human, keep venting and getting compassion here everyone!

Everyone else got to leave at 4. Me and this one other guy have to stick around until the delivery truck comes. They were supposed to be here 25 minutes ago.

Awesome! I'm a cat person myself, and I'm half deaf and speak cat too. No problems there.

I'm a pretty adaptable.

OMG that place is SO AWESOME!!! I've never seen so much cheese!
Maybe we will see you at the braves inforoo extravaganza this sunday too?!
As you already know, indeed y'all will!
I did not post in here to ask for places to crash. I just wanted to say everything sucks today (yesterday). This is the most awesome internet community out there. Mayo I can't thank you enough, let me know if you have any dietary restrictions and I'll whip you up something bad ass! Now back to your regularly scheduled GRRRRRRRRR.
ITM I feel you man. I'd planned on taking today to pack up my shiz and get a storage space but got called into work because I, and ONLY I, had to handle an ID theft recovery because the person in question was a friend of a new client. Turned out it wasn't even ID theft just a cloned debit card. ANYONE could have done it but nope the CEO called on me to drop what I was doing and drive all the quacking way to the office to help this person. I love what I do, but of all the quacking days he could have picked while I got all this other crazy shiz going down... GRRRRR.
I was going to complain that I need more work, (which I totally do since I was unceremoniously "let go" from a production a few weeks ago.. right before my birthday)
.. but I want to express the best of luck to monkybunney on his housing situation because last minute changes like that are always crazy and difficult.

Hearing the "other" new girl who has nothing to do yell "GO HOME, IT'S A 3 DAY WEEKEND" as she clods out of here on time when I know I have at least 2-3 more hours of unpaid overtime ahead of me tonight is a major GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Thanks Druid! But no pats on back necessary. MB lives in ATL, on my side of town, and I happen to have a roof over my head with an extra patch of sleeping space. Just makes sense to me.
CKS - WTF?!!! Why does THAT girl get to go home???? SHE IS DUMB. That's all. Just know that I am boozing for you, so when you get home, you'll have a boozed Mayo to chat with!!! Use that as your motivation!!!

GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
So we had a department meeting Wednesday morning... in which the lead guy on the project we're working on right now was unprepared with his portion of work for the meeting.
This was like the last straw for boss ladies, because he has been doing like NOTHING to contribute to the project (ive been doing EVERYTHING and he's been taking credit, and just standing idly by.)
Boss lady's have been sick of it. Well the meeting on Wednesday, he was reprimanded for not being prepared (totally justly), and then immediately after he WALKED OUT ON HIS SHIFT. Sent an e-mail saying "Not feeling well, leaving for the day."He has NOT returned to work since then.
THE PAST THREE DAYS HAVE BEEN THE LONGEST FREAKING DAYS OF MY LIFE.
So, his departure has triggered this sequence of events at work:
A) I'm backed up on my own day-to-day stuff to begin with, because I have been ghost-writing for him on this stupid project for the past weeks anyways.
B) I've now been given his work load, to cover support for our stores.
C) Another member of the department which I'm covering for is currently on vacation, so I also have her work load as well.
D) I had to write a personal statement to our VP of Human Resources. I HATE doing crap like that.
E) I've had to work through lunch all three days, and at least 10 hr days each day. JUST TO GET THE BARE MINIMUM DONE.
F) I'm drowning in voicemails and emails, and had to leave for the weekend with stuff unsettled. I HATE not taking care of business.
G) I'm not salaried, so I do not have the approval to come in on a Saturday to catch up.
H) Next week is only going to be worse...
I) I AM NOW ESSENTIALLY AUDITIONING FOR HIS JOB. I want his job. Badly. I am most likely not going to get his job because the higher-ups want degrees and experience. I am qualified for his job. So EVERY MOVE I MAKE now is like super important.
TGIF, but HOW CAN I EVEN ENJOY MY WEEKEND WHEN SH!T IS JUST COMPLETELY TURMOILED?!!?!?
*phew* ok, inforoo. thanks for reading and thank you for letting me vent.

GF, I stopped my extremely fascinating game of FB Solitaire Blitz just to post, so take note.
You will enjoy your weekend, because you can.
Find some friends, drink a little, eat a lot. Decompress on Sunday, and get ready to work your ass off next week. Make sure the powers that be KNOW you want the job, and show them you deserve it.

Starting my 3 day weekend off with a trip to urgent care
I've had "crick in my neck" pain constantly since Monday morning, and early this morning it hurt so bad it woke me up after only a few hours of sleep. Now I can't move without severe/sharp pain and I cannot even lay my head down to get some more sleep. Hoping they can give me some magic medication to help.

Ugh I'm so sorry! I seem to get this a couple times a year and it is awful. Pain meds, muscle relaxers, and rest are magic for me, along with ice every couple of hours. I've gotten a massage before when I had a crick and it made it much worse. I always feel like I want to stretch it, but until it starts to feel a little better the stretching makes it worse.
Hang in there, girlie. Hopefully they give you some good meds!

Oh Sarah, I am so sorry you go through this periodically! You really don't realize how much you move your neck until it hurts, I was literally in tears in the waiting room. Thank you for the kind words
They took some x-rays and said my neck was ultra stiff and straight due to cervical strain/muscle spasms. They have prescribed some pain meds and muscle relaxers, currently waiting on those at the pharmacy. The doctor said hopefully I will feel almost 100% better after a couple doses
