Month: September 2022

As stated, I'm 37, single, and I basically have no assets ( save an old non functional vehicle to sell). I haven't worked in ~3 years. Have no savings, and I depend on my parents, social safety nets, and a few other ” uncouth ” means to survive. I want to go as far away as my major in college, wish I hadn't studied math, and in regards to my life and future… I quite simply HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT TO DO.

My concern is that I'm being delusional in wanting to do it as it seems everyone becomes a manager but eventually the system gets them and they turn to shit. I don't want to do that. If…

Hurricane Ian is headed for my city, my office is obviously closed Wed/Thurs, what should be the worst days, but a lot of my area is in a mandatory or voluntary evacuation zone.

I have to use what little vacation time I have if I want to evacuate with my family?
