Literally just got a jury summons for June 15th. Gonna ask for an deferral, but since I'm coming from Florida- this would mean not even arriving until noon on Friday at the very earliest. Took a lot of the wind out of my sails, hoping beyond hope they'll grant me a deferral.

I literally forgot about jury duty once and didn't show up.... found the summons months later and called in a panic, they said I marked as served/excused. Fingers crossed for similar grace lol.

after some research the fine for missing the 1st time is $100 in Florida. If I don’t get excused I’m just gonna skip it lol
Because I don't feel like I deserve love - I haven't told you that I've been dealing with GI Tract problems, incredibly high cholestorl and Anemia for the last few months. Only maybe one person knows. I also have a shit housing situation on almost every ground possible except space. I'm living beyond my means and I can't fight the situation in the way people think I should. I've been both sick and last year somehow I earned too much. It all doesn't make sense. And I feel selfish for even talking about it.
edit: I take full responsibility for my health issues. And not finding out earlier.
1. You told us about that in group chat
2. Most of us have no idea how, or the means, to really help you. That doesn't mean we don't care. That's just the depression talking.

I was called once for Federal court. I wrote them a nice, brief letter stating that I would love to perform my civic duty but the lost income would create an unnecessary burden on my household. So they excused me. It doesn't hurt to ask, and you may at least get a postponement.

I'll just stop talking about it.
I would 100 times out of 100 hear you talk about whatever is bothering you, compared to reading the passive aggressive nobody cares I'm gonna shut up posts.
Dude, you got more friends than I do. You got more people looking out for you than you can imagine. Things aren't all sunshine and lollipops, but you aren't alone.

There's no passive aggressiveness involved or I wouldn't respond. I'm protecting myself mentally.

I love you dude, I'm sorry you're having a rough time. One of those things would be enough to deal with, but both things happening at the same time is absolutely unfair. Hope one or both things turn around very soon <3

I can't do much to help you, but you're my friend and I'm concerned about you. Hoping things start getting better soon.
Same G. Nothing but love. Always standing by for anything. I still think maybe getting out of NYC and working somewhere else for a while would do you some good and freshen shit up. Half this board lives in or around Atlanta, and you have the film industry experience to make decent money and maybe find a less stressful living situation.

If you want to take privately about this we can, but I'm finished putting any personal stuff out at this point - I do not feel safe doing so. I will tell you it's mostly because of public transportation and my family all living here or FL or back in Jamaica. edit: it took years for me to have a good relationship with my family even if we disagree.

I'm at something like 11-12 days without nicotine. Cold-turkeyed it because vaping is dumb and was costing me almost $150 a month, which is fucking stupid. And I'm sure it's not good for my lungs, or heart or blood vessels and it's kinda cringey and serves no other purpose than to keep me from temporarily feeling like I feel right now, which will surely pass because I've quit nicotine for multiple years before and I imagine I was at least momentarily happy at various points during my abstinence but also OH MY GOD IT WOULD FEEL SO FUCKING LOVELY RIGHT NOW IT REALLY WOULD. I feel weak for being addicted and yeah blah blah even making it this far is hard and shows strength but ugh I feel so dumb so I'm ranting about it on the internet. I'll feel dumb if I buy a vape too but at least then I won't want to hit things! And I'm eating like a teenager again, Imma have a dadbod by Roo. I'm not done ranting but have nothing left to actually say so I'll just complain to myself from here on out, just assume that my existence is currently a steady whine, thank you for listening

Be proud of your progress. I can barely smoke a lot of herb anymore and have fallen into my drinking. I know that it's addiction especially since I've mostly stopped using any other drug. I'm not saying find a substitute but try to find strength in something and you'll make it through. Do not feel like you are doing something wrong by buying one little vape if you can afford it, cold turkey esp. when doing fests is difficult - and sometimes mind consuming which is like spiraling in a different way. You are a fighter, even when you are a quiet ass motherfucker. You'll get through this. I trust in that.
edit: because I don't care about the self report - my alcohol consumption increased greatly right before the pandemic bc of use/overuse of cocaine and acid. I see my weakness but, but I'm also on a controlled substance that makes me both crave relief and general calmness when not trying to fuck around. I haven't touched a thing since the mansion party

I don't know which is worse: Not even getting an interview for a job I really want, or getting three rounds deep in the interview process only to be shot down. Right now, it feels like the second one. Fucking hope is such a killer when shit doesn't pan out, man. Ugh.

Ouch sorry man that sucks. Sorry to hear about that. What kind of work you do?

Fuck that sucks. I know it's a very small comfort, if at all, but that definitely means you've got the GOODS and someone will be lucky to pick you up very soon <3

My GF and I apply to residencies all year long, and we can never decide if ghosting or a rejection letter is worse. I was a semi finalist for an opportunity this summer that I swore I had in the bag. Now it's more of the same sad combo of make something and day job this summer.
Did they slide you some severance or at least get you a couple extra week's pay?
Six weeks.
Getting laid off sucks, but holy fuck is it so much worse now that I have a mouth to feed. Fuck, I'm so worried about her.
Word. That's like the first thing that hits you when you have that first kid. Oh shit, I can't be carefree and completely irresponsible anymore at least for 14 or 15 years since now someone who is helpless will depend on me for food, clothing, shelter, etc. Don't be too worried though, you'll be fine. All that shit always works out and usually for the better. Maybe something interim would help while you're trying to get something else in your field. But whatever you have to do, you'll get it done.
From what you've posted, sounds like you're a "real job" person so I'm sure none of my catch-all quick-cash job suggestions (barbacking, catering) would be in your line of work, but sending you a virtual high five.
It used to be that people with real jobs could rely on company-employee loyalty, and now the big business fucks just slice and dice even the best people at their business. My friend works for Disney+ and has a whole year ahead of her with these "rolling layoffs". A whole entire year of every-other-week firings.
FUCK this shit. So sorry you have to deal with this.
after four attempts at IUI failed, we moved onto IVF. We harvested eggs at the end of September and produced 5 viable blastocytes or whatever. We did the implantation two weeks ago tomorrow. We knew this meant we'd take a pregnancy test Christmas eve or Christmas Day.
She took the test both mornings. Both were negative. We spent an hour in bed grieving each morning (first at sister in laws, then mother/father in laws).
It ruined our Christmas and our trip to the PNW. Hard to be merry right now.
I don't want to get ahead of myself but I may have reason to take this over to the Yay Thread soon...
I got ahead of myself too quickly. She had a miscarriage about a month ago, right after the ten week mark. What made it worse, for me, was I was 11 hours away on a boys trip. I did everything I could to get home quickly but she still had to go to the ER in an Uber and be there by herself for like four hours. She finally just told me all of the horrible details. It was a pretty brutal May.
