From what I recall from your previous postsā¦ Iām sure you wouldāve mentioned it, but didnāt. So Iāll just ask, did things go as planned?

Short Answer: Yes
Long Answer: For the most part nothing has changed in regards to what I said in the past. The right people are aware of the eviction notice and that hasnāt changed. The only thing that has changed is the date they need to be out of the house by.
November 1st, 2024. As of August 1st they have 90 Days to find more permanent living arrangements.
My post is more so intentionally veiled given there has been developments within my immediate family I simply canāt ignore. So to say it bluntly while giving limited detail on the situation Iāll just end this post with this.

I got reassigned to another outlet with worse management and colleagues and then I got sacked when they scapegoated me for a wrong order.
Honestly, I was planning to quit at the end of that shift anyway since my pay got cut along with my hours. If I stayed any longer there, I probably would have been leaving that job with an assault charge.
It still stings a bit losing my first job that unceremoniously, but waiting tables wasnāt exactly my lifeās dream. I think Iāll aim for something more white-collar, maybe sales or scriptwriting. See if I can put my bachelorās degree to any use.

If you think that is bad my first job fired me to make more room for full-time employees but never notified me. I turned up to start my day at work, had trouble getting into the system then my boss told me to take a day off while they sprted it out before notifying me that I was sacked.

I just wanna sayā¦ this week has been shitty (excluding the 4th, mostly which was decent), but aside from my birthday as a distraction I went to a job listing that turned out to be inaccurate to what was posted online and wasted 200 dollars that day to get to that jobās location. Family wasnāt there for me and didnāt support me when I tried talking about it when it went bad but the internet was. Same with my birthday - my mom was the only one who was there for me, then everyone on here was really friendly too. So Iām grateful for that. It sucks to learn that in reality most people donāt care about anyone elseā¦ but for the small few that do, such as in online spaces like thisā¦Iām really thankful for it. Like today was going to be the day where my family and I ate out at a restaurant because they couldnāt be together on my actual birthday but they all found āreasonsā to not go (they will be at home doing nothing so those arenāt reasons). So thank you all, just for being here. And being kind.

Sorry to hear that. Donāt delay working on your CV. Iād also recommend applying for new jobs a few months before you think you need them. You can always just decline an offered position, but the ālook for a job gameā is very different than it was 20 years ago. Itās not necessarily harder I donāt think. It could be easier according to one and harder according to another, but It just can and usually does take way longer than it did 20 years ago.

A couple hours later, still stressful, not alowed to say anything but sheesh Iāll say I was pretty damn close to dying, a 3 meters deep hole 50 meters away from me and the ceiling right infront of me collapsed right infront of me, and Iām still stressing out.
Iāll try to sleep it out.
PS: I wasnāt even in a safe room, that shit was close.

Will not elaborate for obvious reasons just saying that out of every single place I could have been at at that moment, I was in a pretty shitty place to be at.
Surely 50 meters to the side and me and 12 more wouldāve been dead now, fuck.
Seriously now, it was chaotic, I felt like a part of a movie where everything just goes to some sort of shit.
Ofcourse like any other stressful scenario in my life I was calm when it happend and when it ended I realized what went on and started panicking, that shit was nuts.

Why are parents so stubborn?
My sister and I and my wife and his ex wife have been telling him to leave for a week now but my father has elected to ride out the hurricane. He lives exactly where it will make land fall.
Instead of flying away 3 days when flights out still existed he chose to play golf rather than leave.
2 days ago when he maybe could have still found a flight and certainly could have started just driving north he instead also chose to play golf. The course was closed bc all the employees left. But he played anyway. Said it was nice to have the course to himself.
Yesterday when all flights options were gone but he still could have started driving north he again played golf.
Today in the morning when he maybe could have still started driving north or at the very least drove inlandā¦ you guessed it, he played golf. Said he only got 7 holes in before the wind made it impossible to continue.
All I want is for him to be okay, but also when he makes it through alive I may just kill him myself.

Dude I saw a Florida Man say he was going to chain his boat to his dock and ride out the 15 ft storm surge sleeping in his shrimp boat or something like that, if he went overboard it was fine because he could still swim.
Some of you Americans are just wired wrong or something like that. Maybe it is the lead and forever chemicals in the water.

If my father was any bit of a Florida man Iād actually have felt better. Then he would have had water and non perishable food stocked. Had a firearm in case an alligator moseyed into his home. Heād have a way to float some piece of shit boat down the streets in shallow water once the storm goes away or know how to red neck engineer a ladder to get onto a roof.
He has and can do none of that. Heās a retired banker from Chicago. He should have left. Anyway the storm seems to have been way lighter than was anticipated. I havenāt heard from him yet but from what I see on tv he is fine. Anderson Cooper was reporting from his town and never really had to go inside. It hit the coast as a category 3 and never went higher. The last few days it was predicted to be a 4 or a 5. Thank god it wasnāt, but this only means next time itāll be more impossible to get him to leave.

I hate to break it to you but an old man busting into the country club to play a half-game during a category five hurricane is pretty much next level Florida Man, he is a Florida Elder if you will. it just so happens he is the worst Florida Man ever.
Happens a lot with hurricanes but that is still bad, Katrina was also a category five that downgraded to a category 3.

He didnāt bust in! He lives on the course. He just walked from his backyard to the 5th tee box and started there 
Anyway he is fine. I heard from him this morning. Windows held and there was no flooding. Iām gonna wait till he has power and tv again to yell at him. Just b/c this one lightened up doesnāt mean he didnāt scare the shit out of both of both his kids. Plus then I can toss in the āand wouldnāt it be nice if you had been someplace with power and ESPN for the last X number of days?!ā

Iām in the Disaster Recovery business and i can tell you that events like these only strengthen the resolve of people like that unless they suffer catastrophe. The fact that his windows held and he didnāt get flooding just proves that he was right all along in thinking it was no big deal. Same thing happens with people that survive earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes, and that sort of thing. Itās āno big dealā unless it kills them.
