What’s your favorite deep cut from an album?

Last year I moved from the most expensive city, San Francisco, to a relatively cheaper expensive city, Portland. Living in San Francisco will really fuck with your head when it comes to pricing, and I lived there for over a decade. For the entirety of my time in San Francisco I lived in studio apartments around 400 square feet. I was paying absurd prices for that privilege. $3,200 a month. I got priced out of the city when I married my wife and we needed a bigger place to live. Yeah that's right, we lived together in a tiny studio in San Francisco for a time, with my cat. We were fine but my cat really needed more space.

I'm sick of all the wasted time and money
I'm sick of all the jokes that weren't that funny
I'm sick of money that I never spent
The money always goes to pay my rent

Days before my wedding, I was told my long standing remote job was becoming an in-office job, but not for my managers who lived outside of California. Well, we needed a bigger space and I couldn't afford do that in San Francisco. So we moved to Portland, a place where many of my coworkers were allowed to continue to work remotely from. They fired me the second I got in the city. It wasn't a shock, but it was a pretty petty and shitty thing to do, especially after they said I would be allowed to continue working there for a while at least. I was hired to be remote and I worked remote for nearly 5 years.

I waste my money and I still feel shitty

I'm just glad I moved out of San Francisco when I did because my savings would not have lasted very long at all. It barely lasted me the time I needed to find a new job in a slightly less expensive city. My career advice out there for people would be to never go along with any ultimatums given to you by corporations.

Also, you can probably guess what would have happened if I had stayed at that job. Here's a hint: it rhymes with gay lofts. Corporations don't give ultimatums when things are going well, they just don't.
