Jesus Christ Drac, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Condolences man. We're here if you wanna vent about it or anything.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Drac. If you ever want to talk, throw us a line.

Three calls, 5 people, 25 dollars.

This is what it took to get electric company to send me a bill for my mom's account so I can pay things.  I did not start swearing at them.  So tempting despite it just being really entirely obnoxious company policies.
Well, Goodbye.

Large utility conglomerates can be a pain in the ass.

Aches and pains are flaring up the last few days.

Found out that I won't get severance pay or qualify for unemployment benefits in my state. Bleh.

Not yet, but I will in a few months.

The severance pay is one thing - ugly, but I wasn't expecting anything else. The worse part is the lack of unemployment coverage. A very long story short, my state has a minimum amount of money you need to make to get anything. If you don't make enough, you don't get any unemployment benefit. It's a rough state on it - only about approximately 20% of people qualify for any payout at all.

Kotono:
Yeah :(  Generally I look around and find there's a lot of protections in place for people on the middle (assets of 300k+) and above (Getting stronger actually as it goes higher), but frankly by virtue of that they're the folks more likely to be able to survive not having that.   :(  It is not good being on the other side of that line.

I'm now trying to break a modest addiction to playing an idling game.  Knew that would not go well when I started.   So far a day not checked :P
Well, Goodbye.
