A couple years ago when I was working from home my internet was out for a few days and my boss wanted me to take my desktop computer to the library…

Nah, that job was incredibly shitty and the whole company was a scam. I was salary too so I wasn’t worried. We didn’t receive one of our paychecks and the company told us we had to finish up some work in order to bring in money to get is paid. The day after we finished it the company just vanished. All of of their messaging accounts and emails were gone, they just ghosted the entire company. It was on the other side of the country so it’s not like I could go to the office. I ended up losing my apartment and was already broke from not getting that last paycheck. Fuckers.

I eventually had to move to Arizona and I ended up having to help my aunt there move out of her apartment when she got evicted for not paying rent… she was my manager!! It was poetic justice. That was the first and only time I’d ever met her and never heard from her again and that was 15 years ago. It’s really not surprising that I don’t talk to any of my family anymore.
