I moved to Los Angeles in June of 2008. Coming up on 3 years now. Given the events that have lately transpired, I have decided to sum up what has happened since I’ve been here.
The guy who agreed to rent me a room when I first came out informs me once I get here that he is going through an eviction.
Found a job at a shady (borderline illegal) company & a place to stay.
My car gets stolen.
Got a shitty apartment.
Lose my Coach wallet, a birthday gift from my mother.
Got laid off.
Purchased a cheap car with income tax refund (2009).
Found another job at another shitty company.
Got laid off.
Spent my 2010 income tax refund catching up on bills and staying caught up, instead of using it as a deposit on a new apartment, since I can’t sign a new lease with no job.
Got in a car accident, totaling my car. Insurance finds me at fault, car not being replaced.
