It seems like its been a fucking time for more than just me, so doing another check-in thread to see how yall are holding up. Especially since its been a LONG time since ive done one of these.
Got something you wanna vent about? Wanna share something cool? Nows the time!
Love you all 
For my own part - back from tour. The band made money, but I am broke. Fortunately, starting my first job in 2 years on Monday, and whats more, ITS FUCKING COOL! Finally out of the tech field, and working thru Americorps to help with a local anti-homelessness organization. Im gonna be doing back end stuff interfacing with other local orgs, but its still a job im happy to have and can be personally proud of rather than working with stupid bullshit SAAS stuff. Met a hexbear on tour and had a great time with them, and after 3 floods in a week, my partner and I are moved into a new apartment and finishing unpacking. This time were on the 4th floor! Nice building, no complaints, place is modern looking and very clean, it just feels surreal after everything that brought us here.
Work is too repetitive (made that way by management decision) and I'd like to quit in the next 6 months, but I'm only about a third of the way to the savings target, and there's no guarantee of what the job market will look like at the beginning of next year. I kinda just want to brew kombucha and sell it at the farmers market, but I need a clean place to work out of for that.
In addition to dealing with my own lack of initiative, I've ended up with the task of shepherding yet another person away from alcoholism, this time a roommate. The apartment has been in a dirtiness spiral for months. One step at a time...
