Hello! Annoying news! I’ve been informed by work that due to an investor delay I am not going to be paid on time. I need to pay my rent and internet/phone and eat, so if you can give me a hand, I can pay you back in the next few weeks when my pay shows up. Thanks!

chotiner is very good but he's just doing what a journalist is supposed to do. watching everyone treat him like a superhero is a little crazymaking.

Suffice to say I’m looking for work so if you like what I do and had anything in mind, please hit me up at [email protected]
Well, not only has my day job not paid me in over a calendar month, they’re also expecting me to be the singular employee on staff, both back and front of house, for a full service sit down restaurant that also does online orders. So I might need to quit before lining something else up.

welp that didn't take long
