The HR thing I posted about never went away and I got fired today. Already applied for unemployment so at least I'll now get paid while I search for another shitty job and I won't be spending $300 a month on gas just to get to work.
It's kind of a relief in a way. This job was a major source of stress for me and it's not like I'm the only person they've fired recently. They've been letting people go left and right, getting rid of long-time veterans to cut down on wage costs I suppose, so I'll just take the L, chill the rest of the day, and try to get some things done around the house.
I burned through my savings last year through a series of vacations and then some unforeseen car/dental emergencies and ever-rising cost of living
Ironically without my commute I might be able to actually save money, especially since now I'll have a lot more time to cook at home
