Hey, good news. If you saw what was here before, I’m employed now, and have been since 11 August (’25) or so.
It’s minimum wage, but minimum wage in California is $16.50 an hour. It’s not full-time, but I have a decent shot at hitting thirty-hour weeks and I don’t owe rent (I do owe half utilities, but that’s really cheap in my situation). So as of now I’ve got a decent chance of climbing out of the mess I (in part) got myself into.
I’ll take this page down eventually, giving it long enough in case someone who saw it before hasn’t seen the update. But given how 99 percent of you didn’t give a fuck and were content to leave me to struggle, I suppose I won’t have to leave it up for long.
Diane, you cared. Thank you so much.
Derrick, I don’t even think you’ll see this (you’re a busy guy) but you fucking rock. That is all. Help is not always flashy but we can measure it by its outcome. I’m still here cause you gave me space to be. Period.
