So a little over a year ago, I was still living in Maine. I had quit my job due to management lying about so many things and I wasn't getting what I was promised; and I didn't want to work for lazy fucks anymore. I was on the fence about finding another job, or just moving back home because my sister had been pushing for that. My cousin called me, who they were very well off, and promised me he could get me a job in sales from some of his colleagues/friends, and that I could live in their spare lake property, and in lieu of rent, just do some remodeling that he'd help teach me.

So, I ended up moving down and spending thousands of dollars in Uhaul fees, gas, etc, totally upending my life on a promise from family. He tried a handful of times to get me a job with his friends. He never helped coach me or teach/train me on anything like he said, and only helped showing me how to do the remodeling stuff like 3 times. He only helped tweak my resume weeks after I had made it and sent it to him, and then he just used AI to tweak it and that was it. Well, since this town is fucking devoid of jobs, I got a job making whatever I could for as many hours as I could to at least help pay my bills; it's not a lot, but I JUST made full time like 4 days ago.

He passed away maybe a month ago now, and I figured it might get a lil hairy around here, as our agreement was 1 year, then I could stay if I wanted, but have to pay rent or some other plan would be agreed upon. I come home from work today and see For Sale signs in the yard. I got no phone calls from his wife, who has preached this whole time about taking care of family, you don't make money off of family, etc. Granted, she has no income and has bills, and I understand, but it's kind of shit that I found out by coming home to signs in the yard. THEN she shows up with the realtor a little later after that. I didn't really have much to say to her, or want to talk to her, I wanted them to leave so I could cook my dinner and be pissed.

So, she's selling the house, so I have to move back to Chattanooga to find a job with people I've known or worked with for years and figure out what I'm going to do next. I just love it when family buttfucks you though, it's my favorite thing.
 
That sucks brother. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. A great musician who was kind of a shitty human once said, " There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be". And it's true. Then again Billy Corgan was right once too. When he said the world is a vampire, sent to drain me. And John Frusciante was right when he said he had blood on his neck from success.

Maybe start over someplace you've always wanted to go. I had a friend named David who made great money as a cartographer. He decided fuck it, he wanted to live in Hawaii. So he had his car shipped there and just moved, all white boy and shit ( hard to get a job as a white boy in Hawaii apparently). Started out working I think at like WalMart or McDonalds or something These days he works for a cable company busting people stealing cable. But he lives on Kona, has a house that's like on a hill made out of lava and is happy as shit. Hell, he left here probably 20 years ago. His family had money too.
 
Sounds like a crappy situation for everyone, but it sucks you were blindsided on the place to live like that. Try not to look at it as a setback. Look at it like an opportunity to reassess goals/priorities and maybe find a new and better path to follow.
 
"Typical"; I know the type well brother.

Not even a friggin' 'phone call. :no:
It seems like she's washing her hands of his side of the family, whether intentional or not. His mom is finally ready to see people again and wanted to come down to see her, but she said it felt like she wasn't interested in her coming down. She's asked for a few things of his to keep around that belonged to her parents and doesn't seem like she's going to get them.

That's fine, I'm ready to wash my hands of her and her family too.

Chattanooga is nice, I thought there was a lot of economic activity there?
Oh there are definitely many more jobs in Chattanooga than in tiny Crossville. Crossville's big issue is it's a retirement community. Old people stay at home and don't spend their money like younger people do, so the economy here doesn't really do much, and the pay is very low. 10 years ago it would've been enough, but now prices have gone up because everyone discovered TN had cheaper homes and no income tax, so all the fucking Californians and New Yorkers moved here and bought everything up.
