How you doing?Sup?
Chicago?No Sphere shows :'(
Stephanie is doing great. She's starting Kindergarten in the fall, just finishing up Pre-K next week!
I moved to Chicago, it's been a lot of change, but most of it has been good.
Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. Hope everything turns around for you asap. Keep your head high!This is closer to home, and I'm not sure what's been said, but right now, Travis and I are having issues. I don't know what will come of it.
But no, it's not a better career opportunity, lol. I moved out here with a remote job and thought everything would be this fantastic breeze. Then, my job pulled the rug out from under me the day before I left for IL by telling me they were taking away my title and essentially that I'd never be able to be promoted again unless I was able to work hybrid. So I was awkwardly working at the same rate but trying to refuse to do the same work I usually do, which was fine. But then they put the guy under me in charge of the team, and he started leaving me out of meetings and being generally weirdly evasive about letting me know anything that was going on. So I ended up switching shifts and took his shift, which was nights, which was going somewhat OK, but when he started bossing me around, I began to panic about my career and future. In the midst of this, there were a lot of personal life changes happening and issues with my medications of mine as well, and one day, without thinking it through, I quit.
I have regretted it every day for the last six months, especially the 5.5 months I was unemployed, because I'm now in awful, awful debt—like, I can't answer my phone, lawsuits type of debt. But I'm making rent each month, so that's good.
But yeah, I started a new job two weeks ago, and the job is killing me as well, but I'm sticking with it as long as possible. But it's a remote LA job, and I'm a bit over that, so I'm hoping to find out today if I got a job at a local Chicago network. They've been dragging me through the application process for this job since April.
Oh, I went on there a bit....how are you doing?
Truly sorry to hear about you and Travis. Hope it works out, you guys are 2 of the good folks.This is closer to home, and I'm not sure what's been said, but right now, Travis and I are having issues. I don't know what will come of it.

Thanks Cobs.I knew about the relationship stuff Ashley but not the job situation, that sounds incredibly stressful and upsetting even if you didn't have a partner/ex-partner and a kid (and a pet?), hoping things work out for you
Feel like it's that way everywhere now. The only way it was ever easy to keep track of a conversation was on message boards, and now that they're fading away, I don't know how people have conversations.Is RYM the best place to discuss music like how we used to here? I've tried Reddit but unless you get your post on the thread within like two minutes of it going up it just goes nowhere.
Seems like Billy is a bit of a dick?
I can honestly see why you'd think that just looking at her, and the sort of vibe in general. I was surprised when she started making more songs for movies and realized she's got a lot of range. I still haven't listened to a full album, but I continue to be extremely impressed with her.I'd never listened to a Billie Eilish album in full before, but I like the new one. It's definitely a vibe, especially the track L'Amour de Ma Vie. I guess I was expecting a bunch of auto-tune trap stuff - no reason why - so this surprised in a good way.
I know very little about the situation, but from what I just read on Wretzky's wiki, this was supposed to be some proof that Billy offered to let her join the tour and then rescinded the offer, and I really don't feel like this did anything to help her case, and more solidified that Billy was/is trying to mend fences?That's pretty cool. Just reading about the band's history, what's the go with D'Arcy Wretzky? Seems like Billy is a bit of a dick?
Billy seems super energetic to have her part of the tour, but does make it pretty clear he doesn't want her as the bassist, and I think that's where the miscommunication might be happening.Wretzky said that she had been offered a contract to rejoin the band on the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, but that Corgan rescinded the offer soon after.[25] Corgan released a statement denying the claims, "Ms. Wretzky has repeatedly been invited out to play with the group, participate in demo sessions, or at the very least, meet face-to-face, and in each and every instance she always deferred."[26][27] Wretzky later provided screenshots of a text message conversation with Corgan.[28]
