hey so update on this whole situation, i was dealing with an awful lot when i started this thread, i was and still am the main caretaker for my mother who has been diagnosed with dementia within the last month or so, on top of the stage 4 cirrhosis we already knew she had. I'm in a slightly better position in that I am at least being compensated for my efforts taking care of my mom now, and as a family we think we've got my mom's romance scamming problem handled, so that's been a relief.

having said that, i am still committed to GTFO of here when i can, but now its looking like Mexico is gonna be a lot easier. Plus, the level of care my mom needs is a lot cheaper in Mexico so her pension would go a lot farther.

NOice

started Adderall again this week. looking back im starting to notice how unhinged my last couple posts seem. Sorry about that.

Well look what the cat dragged in.
Glad things are going good twid, there are worse things than getting stuck in academia.

Like what?   

Unemployment. I hate looking for jobs

can relate. 

i mean, do they even  do anything? Cuz if not, i'll get paid to Star trek cosplay all day.

so turns out I'm still unemployed, and i'm an asshole for even implying that my family could help me out, given that i'm the primary caretaker for my mom and ive had to sell my car just to keep the household running while everyone else fails to rise to the occasion. Such a fucking prick, me.

 welp, due to a lack of spots at Ye Olde Birthday entertainer factory, i am in fact, NOT going to be a party entertainer. Guess its back to selling my personal belongings



PS the HR lady was named Eris. I cant make this shit up.

so bad news is, unemployment has sidestepped having to pay me in a way so dumb it would overload my brain if i had to elaborate, so it looks like i'm gonna need to build up a nest egg before i can fly the coop. Goods news is i've been tentatively hired by a children's entertainment company to do birthday entertainment. so yeah I'm gonna be a birthday clown.

I love these stories. Its like living in a WH40K prequel fanfic.

i would say that bad things happening to this country is as reliable as the seasons, but with climate change doing what it do....

My mom's conservatorship hearing was this week. They appointed a Guardian ad litum, and I managed to navigate the attendant family drama smelling like roses. Calling it a win.

oh thanks Faust that really good to know, actually.

also also, getting Irish citizenship leads to EU citizenship, which can lead to me moving to anywhere within the EU, which is a plus.

also the immigration process seems like less of a headache. tho compared to how immigration works here, the bar is basically in Hell.

While I wouldn't trade Ireland for the US under any circumstances, Ireland is far from perfect, we have an awful housing shortage that started about 6 years ago and has gotten worse and worse, new home to buy costs are extortionate, and trying to find an over priced place to rent is incredibly difficult.

If you have someone to stay with you'll be fine, but you'll be facing a hard time trying to get anywhere otherwise.

Politically we are more stable, health care is cheaper than the USA but you still generally want to have insurance, there's plenty of work going round, but every country has its problems, just do your research is all I'm saying

well part of the plan is to seek out this Land Grant program I've heard about where they'll give you money to fix up an existing neglected property. so there the option to fix up a place nice enough to live in or flipping it to rent or buy a place for myself. also I'm pretty sure This One Asshole I Hate already got a place in Italy, and i'm not risking being anywhere near that fuck.
