New job starts Tuesday! ( Details )

By Friday of last week I was starting to stress about whether or not my Manager would take the time to learn to communicate what he wanted from me. Apparently the answer is, he won't. They let me go Tuesday ( Read more... )

I just did some calculations. I was thinking that I'd estimated an amount that BENT would bring in each month on its own, but the number I had seemed awfully low. I checked again.

If I reach BENT's capacity of 150 people at $30 per person, it's over $4,000. Even if I rolled the price back all the way to $20, capacity at BENT is $3000, which is the ( Read more... )

This past weekend was a busy one!

On Friday I came back with loved_by_2 in the evening. We had a couple hours of sleep and then checked out the April space for BENT quite late in the evening.

I wanted to go because I've been wanting to be more social, I like the hosts, it was close enough to walk home whenever I felt like it, it would be sex/kink-positive space, I knew I'd see several people I knew there, and because it was a Yule celebration, not a party to ( Read more... )

First off, I want to thank all the folks who've responded, called, IM'ed and emailed. You've been wonderfully supportive, offering pep talks and encouragement. All of you have said you know that I can do this. That's never been up for question. I know I *can*. The fact is, I don't want to and I'm a champion avoidance expert when I don't want to do ( Read more... )

When I consider how I felt two months ago, it's hard to imagine things would have taken such a sharp turn toward happiness and goodness. I was ready to give up on life then. I couldn't see a way out of my financial troubles or envision a future that didn't just suck. Now I'm in the middle of many positive things. While many of them are ( Read more... )
