welp (or, well, help)
Aug. 20th, 2022 07:32 pmI haven't talked much about what's been going on with me for the last, like, year here, because it is complicated and lousy. One thing that's been going on is that I am desperately trying to find a job. I have sent out a triple-digit number of job applications at this point, I've had several first-round interviews, and I've even had a couple of first-round interviews from which things may still come, but leads would still be welcome. I can physically do an office job, but not retail or anything that requires a lot of standing and lifting; if you think you have a lead, I can show you my resume, or just apply directly.
But there's a thing for which I need money. I have to move. As in, the lease on this apartment is up, and I need to be out by the end of the 31st. After that, I'll be sleeping on a friend's couch until I am employed.
(Please note, Ruth and Fox and the cat have somewhere to go and are safe. This affects me and about sixty percent of our stuff. It's complicated, as I said. No, we are not divorcing and have not broken up.)
I have hired movers, who will be here the 27th, and I am going to get them to take the stuff to a storage unit. I have not yet gotten the storage unit, because I do not have the money. I didn't really have the money for the deposit on the movers, but I had to nail down a time slot or there'd be no hope of getting out of here on time.
With everything-- storage unit deposit and first month, mover's fee plus tips for the actual workers, parking permit for the moving truck, moving supplies, etc., etc.-- I... need about four thousand dollars that I don't have. I should be able to manage the storage unit after it's set up, since it'll only be a couple hundred a month.
I feel really weird about asking, but, well, my paypal is rushthatspeaks at gmail dot com, and I would appreciate any assistance you all are able to give. I have never asked for this kind of thing before, and I sincerely hope never to do so again.
Some of you are also on Discord with me, and so will see this more than once, for which I am sorry.

Thank you for being there and reading my blog all these years, and I hope you'll keep doing so; it's really been more than I have ever expected.
