@matigo I just had to do my self-input for my review. It was a bit overdue, but then again, a couple weeks ago, I was basically in survival mode thanks to my divorce.
@variablepulserate the situation could be a lot worse. I could be living out of my car, as I saw plenty of people doing in Tacoma.
Nothing like having to deal with your divorce during the busiest time of the year work wise.
@variablepulserate don’t have too many of those and the ones I do have aren’t around here. That said, I think I’m in a good spot right now.
My first night in the house I’ll be living in for the next few months got me invited to dinner made by another family staying in the house. Was a nice change from my so-called family.
I have a couple more nights in this hotel before I move into the room in a house that I rented on AirBnB on Monday for the next few months. It’s basically all I could afford given the constraints of the ordered payments to my soon-to-be ex-wife, which will hopefully get reduced after the next hearing in early February.
It helps that I’ve worked for this employer for 23 years. And, yes, the execs know who I am.

@variablepulserate Washington State is definitely not a place to get married and raise children. Especially if it ever goes wrong.
@matigo the initial order was roughly 75% of my take home pay. Which barely leaves enough to rent a room in someone’s house, much less afford things like food, gas, and lawyers.
There was definitely an insurrection on January 6th…in my own life, at least. The dust is starting to settle and the new (temporary) normal is starting to come into focus. Most of what’s left at this point is the legal bits and pieces of my divorce.
Meanwhile, my employer has went above and beyond in helping me get back on my feet.
