Sad part is I thought that was halfway decent pay. This was like 2015-2016

I was a manager, paid $9 an hour, alone 5:30am-2pm to stock, clean, man the register, check in vendors, etc. ridiculous

Had it last spring, started off as the worst migraine of my life and a 104 degree fever. Slept basically the first two days, felt a little better for a few days, didn’t have any respiratory symptoms until about a week in. Around the two week mark I lost smell/taste but only for a couple of days. Third week was pretty bad vertigo/brain fog and then that stupid sinus infection.

ETA I forgot about the body aches, those were bad the first week too. Just my clothes touching my skin hurt. Also ended up losing like 15 lbs cause all I ate for a week was crackers and Gatorade lol

This entire wiki article is a gem tbh

She has moved in with someone else. No drug use as far as I know, and she has a daughter but bedsides that just me in the house

While I wholeheartedly agree, apparently the courts do not. Someone staying more than two weeks at your residence gains legal tenant rights vs just being a guest, even if they do not pay rent. It’s a shitshow. Last time I’ll ever be helping someone out in this way. Was a totally civil situation until today when I had the wrong door locked and suddenly she screaming about cops and court.

I did not charge rent and we had a verbal conditional arrangement for her to stay a max of one year. This was amended to she needs to be out by April first. I drafted an eviction notice today to cover my ass and left it with the rest of her things but obviously she hasn’t received it because she’s not physically staying here. AFAIK property isn’t abandoned in Maine until either 60/90 days and I have every intention of letting her get her things but would prefer to be present so she doesn’t pull shady shit

Thank ya kindly!

Ah fuck. Thought it was too good to be true that we haven’t had a day yet this winter that made me rue the day I decided working outdoors was a good idea.

My mom kept ours at 62 MAX and if you even thought about touching it you should probably just die now. Now that I have a house I keep mine at 65 and still feel like I’m going to get in trouble haha

I have a 1300 sq ft house and my electric bill hasn’t been more than $60 in at least a year, but I live alone and don’t watch much tv, usually one load of laundry a week, etc

Try volunteering at like Misfits Rehab or something similar? Not sure if they specifically take volunteer helpers but I’d imagine that’s a good place to start

Had a friend visiting from AZ, we’re watching TV and Chopped came on. It was an episode with someone from Maine, he jokingly asked if I knew them, since we were talking about this very thing earlier in the day. I’d gone to school with him 😂
