[nyaagolor]

The software I use at work is Not Working and I have an hour to kill before I can go home so here’s some HCs about assorted characters’ living situations bc I wanted to make notes for myself for fic purposes:

Phoenix: Used to live in a regular apartment, but moved into the apartment above Wright and Co Law offices with Trucy after his disbarment. Edgeworth paid off the building’s mortgage after Turnabout Goodbyes so Phoenix doesn’t have to worry about rent

Edgeworth: Owns a penthouse in LA. He rents hotel penthouse suites while in Europe but doesn’t have a permanent one anywhere other than LA because he thinks it’s a hassle. There’s a locked room in the LA penthouse filled with Steel Samurai merch

Gumshoe: Rents the shittiest basement studio you have ever seen. Does not own a bed. Genuinely questionable if the building is up to code (it’s prolly not)

Maya: Lived in Kurain Village until Mia’s death, then moved into the apartment above the office. After BttT she moves back to Kurain

Pearl: Lived in Kurain until her mother’s incarceration, then moved in with Maya in the upstairs apartment, then back to Kurain with Maya after BttT

Mia: Lived in Kurain Village until she founded Fey and Co law offices with Diego, at which point they moved into the apartment upstairs together until her death

Diego: Lived in a regular LA apartment until he founded Fey and Co with Mia. They moved into the upstairs apartment together until his coma. When he wakes from the coma he spends about half a year recovering in the hospital, then throughout AA3 just loiters around the courthouse because he refuses to speak to Phoenix. After BttT he goes to prison and moves in with Maya and Pearl in Kurain Village after his release

Franziska: Technically lives in the von Karma estate with her mother and sister, but is so busy traveling that she mostly stays in hotels. She used to spend holidays there, but Edgeworth has taken to inviting her to stay with him because she's not very close with the rest of her family, so now her room is mostly just storage.

Ema: Her and Lana lived in their parents’ house together until Lana’s imprisonment, during which Ema moves to Europe with an exchange family. When Ema returns from Europe, she moves back into the house with Lana joining her when she’s released

Apollo: He lived on the road with Thalassa and Jove until the latter’s death, then with Dhurke in the countryside, then in an American orphanage until he was 18, at which point I imagine he crashes on Clay’s couch for most of law school because he is technically an orphaned illegal immigrant with absolutely no money or credit. The internship with Kristoph and his job with the WAA gets him enough money to actually rent a place, but his lack of documentation and student loans mean he’s in the cheapest possible apartment. He keeps it extremely neat but there's only so much one can do. He and gumshoe can commiserate about it.

Trucy: Lived mostly on the road / in the tourbus + hotels with her dad and the troupe until she was adopted by Phoenix, at which point she moved into the apartment above the WAA

Klavier: Lived in his parents’ mansion with Kristoph until going to Themis. When he moved back he had enough money from gigging / his band to buy a fancy ass house and still lives there. It’s a little lonely by himself but when he let Daryan throw parties there it was POPPIN

Kristoph: Lived in his parents’ mansion his entire life. He got ownership of it when they died and raised Klavier in it, and continued to live there until he got arrested. Now he’s cushy in solitary cell 13

Athena: Lived in the space center then was shipped off to European relatives when her mom died. When she moved back to the states she got a decent apartment bc her WAA income was supplemented by those rich as hell European relatives

Simon: Lived in a small apartment with his sister growing up, which he continued to live in after she moved to the Space Center. It was sold when he was incarcerated. After his release he moved in with Athena briefly (no one thought it was a good idea for him to live alone) then to a small but nice apartment, which Edgeworth paid for until he could get back on his feet financially

[eyepatchdate]

that job post has me thinking like. god im so relieved im at where i am right now. i had a feeling while working on my education degree and having a lot of field experience that i may not actually want to work in the field. i was cautious. i considered changing my major to journalism (or a few other things) but ultimately didn't because i didn't want to get trapped in college forever + was on a scholarship tied to my degree + was double majoring (which I knew would look good in the future). so i didn't change my major and kept working, got through my student teaching (which was. a fucking nightmare era of my life jesus christ. if i wasn't already hesitating on this, like, student teaching was a 100% certainty moment for me).

then once i was out i took a gap year to recollect my sanity after student teaching, and i also moved out (i was able to do both of these things thanks to my money from my military training. 25+ weeks of pay that i didn't spend added up to enough for me to do those things).

and THEN i started job hunting for the 'boring office job' concept that i had first considered swapping my plans to in college. i started retail part time while i kept up my other job hunting, landed a sort of crappy job but one that paid a little better and wasn't too terrible. got laid off from that one so started hunting again as soon as they announced the layoffs, got lucky with a company i had been planning to apply for a job at in a few years or so anyways (wanted more general experience under my belt, but layoffs prevented that). got the job right before covid, and while i technically work at another company now, that's still the job i have. 100% work from home now, doing the same stuff, and it's mostly writing emails/scheduling payments/reviewing ledgers/etc.

it pays well and doesn't follow me after work hours, the timing is flexible and i can write or do some gaming on the clock because i tend towards bursts of productivity where i do a lot in an hour then sort of chill for a bit before doing more. i stay on top of my responsibilities so i have a lot of wiggle room since i'm not behind on anything (i only get behind when we swap regions up and i get assigned states that prior analysts didn't properly keep clean, lol, but even then a few weeks of dedicated work gets that shit down easy).

idk man. i'm just rambling about my life, this is stuff i think about a lot, because by god i am thankful things went this direction. even if i do lose this job, i am pretty comfortable in this field now so i feel that i could search within this field to find work that would suit me. i'm getting paid more than i ever would as a teacher or anything else, i have so much flexibility, and i'm even closing on a house (today!).

i still have a lot of worries, i need to save up money again (house deposit) and pay back my parents (house deposit). and i still have huge student loans i'm working on paying that eat up a lot of my monthly income, but im so excited to be paying towards a mortgage instead of rent, and someday my loans will be paid off

Drag Me To Hell (2009)

Have you ever wanted to see what a story created by 10 year olds at recess would look like if it was produced with a $30Mil budget? Now imagine they were doing this immediately after getting caught with an "occult" book (aka something from Barnes and Noble's occult section) that they only managed to glimpse a few pages. And they're hyped up on too much sugar and no one can remember the character they've chosen to play.

If that sounds fun for you, boy do I have the movie to suggest to you!

Usually in horror characters who are supposed to be punished show a real reason for doing so. Even if they're just sort of an asshole and ignore blatant warnings. Or they pick up a book made of human skin and start reading aloud. Alternatively, they're just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Neither of those happen to our protagonist, Chrstine Brown.

When we meet Christine, she is trying to get a promotion at her job as a loan officer in a bank. Her manager tells her it comes down to her and Stu, the new guy. The mysogyny vibes are pretty strong from the outset, and she's a bit of a doormat, but trying her best. The manager tells her to take an early lunch so she can get him a sandwhich on her way back. Remember, she's a loan manager, not a secretary. Stu then walks in like he's got some power around there and says she should get him one, too. And she just does it. To which Stu demeans her after the fact, saying he asked for no mayo and acts like it's her fault (he'd never said no mayo). So it seems that the manager might and Stu might be in cahoots and they're just humoring the pretty girl who thinks she can hang with The Boys.

That's when we meet Sylvia Ganush. I can't recall if they the directly specify she's Romani, but they lean hard on the vague eastern european old woman tropes, making her out to be super gross. Doing stuff like putting her slimy dentures on Christine's desk. The reason Sylvia is there is to ask for an extension on her mortgage for the third time, using her poor health to tug on Christine's heart strings. Christine goes to her manager, trying to get the woman an extension despite her having used up two already. The manager tells her it's "her choice" and she has to be willing to make the difficult decisions.

You'd think this would be where Christine turns into a total bitch and gets mean with the woman. Something worthy of what happens to her. But instead she's as gentle as she can be while denying the woman the extension. She even tries to help the woman find alternative options. And the old woman completely loses it, making a scene and crawling on the floor, forcing Christine to call for security to have the woman removed from the bank.

And that's what does it. The old woman is on her knees, flanked by security, looking up and Christine she hisses "You shame me?!" So it wasn't the denial, it was the public embarassment of not being allowed to throw a fit in public.

The actual curse comes later when Christine is leaving work and Sylvia is waiting in her car. The fight is pretty ridiculous, but the real topper is Sylvia tearing a button off Christine's coat and issuing a curse involving "Lamia." Then she gives the button back.

With a name like Lamia, you'd expect some sort of snake creature, right? Cause that's what the Lamia is. A bad ass half snake half woman monster. A female demon sent by one woman after another? That'd be cool as hell. Plus an excuse for one of horror movies' favorite tropes: an excuse to show tits. Maybe we'd get some cool visuals of a giant snake creature slithering through the walls of Christine's house? Snakes pouring out of the faucet?

Wrong! Goats. According to movie lore "Lamia" is also known as "The Black Goat". Somehow inspired by Baphoment? At least that's what I saw when I was double checking my memory on what the Lamia was supposed to be and making sure there were no ties to goats I didn't understand.

The rest of the movie is borderline incomprehsible and meaningless. But one detail to know is that the curse is supposed to last for only 3 days before Lamia Goat Man physically drags the person to hell.

The manager at the bank keeps flip-flopping his personality. One moment he's in Christine's corner and the next he's treating her like crap. Not in a toxic abusive manager sort of way, unless they forgot to include any indication of how he behaved was meant to be misleading. At one point Christine gets a nosebleed so bad it turns into a fountain and ends up spraying the manager with blood. Then he acts like it was some party trick she could do and he was not a fan.

There's a short sub plot involving some big account that Christine landed for the bank, though it only exists as a vague file and people talking about it. Stu decides to take the file off Christine's desk and sneaks off to another bank and somehow gets them to take the account instead. Literally over night. I'm no banking expert, but when working with large clients for money management, I highly doubt you can just take a bunch of someone else's documents to a bank you don't work at and get them to take over an account that was still in the works. Without the sign off anyone actually involved.

Eventually, Christine finds out that if she gets someone else to take ownership of the button that gave her the curse, she can pass the curse on to them. She calls Stu to say "I know it was you" about taking the file to another bank. Stu shows up in a wild panic, practically sobbing and begging her not to tell. For some reason she decides to not give him the button and tells him to leave. Once again, there's no sign that he's doing it to manipulate her and it's the last we see of him. The following day, the manager calls Christine to say that Stu showed up at his house trying to pin the whole fiasco with the account on Christine. And the manager, who's treated Stu like his best pal and Christine like crap says "And ya know what, his story just didn't make sense. So I kept asking him questions so I knew it was him and not you."

Now, how did Christine know about giving the button to someone else? A psychic, of course. Complete with vague middle eastern mystic vibes. He's her guide and the one who tells her what's going on and who's after her.

She tries to give the button back to the old woman who cursed her. The woman's granddaughter (who's about Christine's age) is all cryptic saying she knows just who Christine is and that she's getting everything she deserves. Because being trapped in a capitalistic society and dealing with misogynistic bullshit is a crime worth being tortured and dragged to hell. Well, the old woman actually died. So Christine walks in on a wake for the woman and the house is full of boisterous people. They were supposed to be Romani, but I don't know the culture well enough to say whether they were accurately depicted.

Bummer the woman's dead, so she can't be given the button. Or can she? Because there's some tradition of gifting to the dead! And Christine decides to do it her own why by digging up the old woman's grave. Remember, this all takes place over the span of 3 days. In that time, the woman died, an elaborate wake was arranged and attended, a funeral was (presumably) arranged and held, and the woman was fully put in the ground. And Christine was able to find an unearth her grave in a matter of hours. The movie takes place in LA.

Way back at the beginning of the movie (during the lunch break with the sandwich buying) Christine stopped by to visit her boyfriend and give him some special coin she found because in theory he collects those. He puts it into a plain white envelope and it's basically forgotten about after that. But you see, this was Chekov's coin envelope! You know what is flat and round but otherwise nothing like a coin? A button. Which is also put into a white envelope for reasons I don't think anyone considered other than Plot Convenience.

There's a convenient mixup where a bunch of papers get dropped all over the floor of the car and chaos ensues. Then a wild scene of Christine fighting with the dead body of the old woman in a rapidly flooding grave. Never once is there any hesitation or checking to make sure it's the right envelope, or that there's even anything in the envelope. Just failing around in the rain with it and trying to give it to the old woman's dead body.

Surprise it was the coin all along. Revealed by the boyfriend in the final scene. It scares Christine so bad that she walks backwards of the platform edge onto the train tracks where the boyfriend gets to see the ground open up and swallow her into hell. The End.

I know Sam Raimi is supposed to worshiped or whatever, but stories like this is are why editors are necessary. It felt like they started with the initial concept of a young, well meaning woman being cursed by an evil old woman for reasons convenient to the old woman. It's a decent concept that could have served as commentary on boomers versus millennials. But they just kept tacking things on and had to come up with reasons it wouldn't work after the fact. And they couldn't decide of the old woman was supposed to be sympathetic or evil.

The story was generally presented as a serious horror movie, but the scenes with the old woman had the absurdity of the Evil Dead series. It felt like it started as a movie meant to be as serious and intense as something like The Collector, but asked a 12 year old for feedback and included every suggestion without question.

As for the initial motives that spark the curse, Sam Raimi apparently said "We just wanted to tell the story of a person who wants to be a good person but who makes a sinful choice out of greed, for their own benefit, and pays the price for it." But the choice Christine has to make is never portrayed as properly "sinful" or "greedy." Had she been mean to Sylvia our denied her outright without even trying, sure. To better portray Christine as sinful or greedy, only a few tweaks would need to be made. First, make Sylvia less gross. At least don't put her freaking dentures on Christine's desk. Have it be her very first request for an extension. A desperate last minute plea. The bank had refused to even speak to her until then and the deadline was end of business that day. Have Christine remember, on her own, that she was told to make tough choices to get the promotion. Then be at least harsh if not outright cruel in denying Sylvia the extension. Insult the woman somehow, then have her dragged out by security for a minor transgression rather than making a whole scene and terrifying Christine. Watch the video at the top of this post and tell me that Christine is the evil one.

Basically, Christine needed to be more of a bitch for the intended theme to work. Like, sure, she willingly killed her cat in an attempt to get rid of the curse, but she was getting desperate by that point.

Ultimately, the movie was tonally confused. There could have been some "you'll only get it if you're watching closely" moments, but the movie could have been littered with them on every frame and it wouldn't be enough to redeem the plot of this bizarre movie.

Seriously, who names something Lamia and makes it a goat demon? You could have had a bad ass snake lady!

Exploring Boston, Massachusetts Real Estate: A Strategic Investment Landscape with Hard Money Loans

Boston’s economic landscape is characterized by a diverse array of major employers across various sectors:

Why Invest in Boston Real Estate?

As of the last update in September 2023, several compelling factors rendered Boston’s real estate market particularly attractive to investors:

Strong Demand: Boston’s historical charm, world-renowned educational institutions, and abundant job opportunities generated robust demand for housing. This heightened competition among buyers.

Escalating Home Prices: Like many urban centers, Boston experienced a surge in home prices. A combination of high demand and limited housing inventory transformed it into a seller’s market, at times leading to competitive bidding.

New Construction Boom: The city witnessed sustained growth in new residential developments, especially in urban neighborhoods. This expansion addressed the demand for modern housing and diversified options for buyers.

Cultural and Economic Allure: Boston’s status as a cultural and economic hub attracted a steady influx of residents, contributing to population growth. Its rich historical tapestry and thriving job market further enhanced its appeal.

Low Mortgage Rates: Historically low mortgage interest rates in 2020 and 2021 stimulated home buying, making homeownership more attainable for Boston residents and investors alike.

COVID-19 Influence: The pandemic underscored the importance of home office spaces and outdoor amenities. Buyers and renters sought properties that could adapt to evolving lifestyle needs driven by remote work.

Inventory Challenges: A limited housing inventory posed challenges for buyers, sometimes resulting in bidding wars and driving up home prices in specific neighborhoods.

These factors collectively painted a compelling picture of Boston as an investment hotspot with potential returns for discerning investors.

The Synergy of Hard Money Loans and Boston Real Estate

Speed and Accessibility: The Boston real estate market operates at a brisk pace, with opportunities arising and vanishing swiftly. Hard money loans come into play due to their reputation for rapid approvals and swift funding, enabling investors to seize properties promptly.

Also: The US works hard to blur the line between social classes and economic classes.

A hundred years ago, they were almost entirely overlapping. Now ,they're very much not. There are people with "working class" jobs and communities and upper-middle-class incomes, because electricians and plumbers continue to be in demand at whatever rates the wealthy can afford to pay, while office workers with a master's degree and a mortgage may be looking for gig work on the weekends to cover their living expenses.

(A mortgage often doesn't cost more than rent... it just requires a larger up-front payment, plus "financial security" to get the loan. Middle & upper class people have the connections and background to get that, where many working class people don't, regardless of income.)

Middle class income is supposed to be:

Your day-to-day living expenses are covered. You are not worried about when your next paycheck arrives; as long as it's on time, you don't have to fret over expenses that come at the beginning or middle of the month

This includes rent/mortgage, health care, transportation, food, and KIDS

You have money for leisure - both to buy things (game console, hobby equipment like skis or a surfboard) and time & money to go on vacation to use those things

You can throw a reasonable amount into savings for the future and not worry about that money not being available now

You can absorb an unexpected expense of a few hundred dollars without blinking, and a few thousand with only minor adjustments to your annual spending. You can replace tires on the car, fix a broken window in the house, get rid of the Corelle plates you recently discovered contain lead, get a new tv set because the old one's screen died, replace the couch that broke when the kids decided to play "the floor is lava" once too often.

None of those expenses cause you stress. You don't like them; they may not be comfortable; but you're not worried about how you're going to afford them.

These are not the center of a middle class income. These are the lower-end, bare-minimum qualifications. Comfortable middle-class income includes home ownership, 1 car per adult in the household, and ability to afford an overseas vacation once a year. Maybe twice a year, if you have friends/relatives to stay with instead of hotels.

Of course, nobody wants to think of themselves as "lower class," so the media latched on to the term "working class" for "the people who don't have enough money to qualify for middle class." This is something of a misnomer; "the working class" includes a hell of a lot of students and only partially employed people.

It also implies a category below working/lower class, which is called "poverty." And nobody agrees on where the lines for that are. (There are some government numbers. It's been pointed out that they are far, far below where actually poverty is - that there is nowhere in the US where you can pay rent on a 1 bedroom apartment on minimum wage, and any sensible person would call "Cannot afford a 1-bedroom apartment despite having a full-time job" a form of poverty.)

Capitalism has worked very hard to convince students who have four roommates sharing a 2-bedroom apartment that they're part of the middle class.

Ive noticed recently that my generation has... no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like "at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment" and its like... oughh

You guys, middle class doesnt mean "a stable enough rented roof over your head," it means "a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days." If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you're lower class. That's lower class.

And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their "eat the rich" rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.

365 Proverbs for Daily Living

Day 5 – Listen to your Parents

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:  For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.  (Pro 1:8-9 ASV)

Read: 1 Kings 12:1-11

If you have ever seen it, the black and white movie, It’s A Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart, is probably a Christmas staple in your home, too. We’ve gotten out of the habit, but we used to watch this movie every year for Christmas. It’s a very heartwarming and uplifting tale about the worth of a single human life, and how many lives that person touches. Though George Bailey has no idea, his life has touched more than he could dream. He is declared at the end of the movie that he is ‘the richest man in town’. And he IS the richest, it seems, in eternal treasure, anyway.

George finds that all those times he took the responsible step, helped others, said a kind word, helped out a friend in need… all of those altruistic decisions add up to countless friends showing up when he needs it most, when ‘George is in trouble’, the one thing Mary says to the community. And it’s the only thing that HAS to be said. Because those friends love George, and are willing to do what they can. Because George gave his own vacation money to float the customers at the Building and Loan. He gives up on his college education to take over the business when his father dies suddenly. He takes responsibility when his uncle loses a fortune. He gives his own pocket money to Violet Biggs so she can start a new life somewhere else. In fact, though it sometimes irks him, George is giving of himself throughout the majority of the movie.

But George Bailey didn’t acquire his tenacity, his feeling of responsibility, in a vacuum. His father, Peter Bailey, was a visionary who founded that little company to help those people in the town. You only see that father three times in the movie, but each time, he delivers powerful words of wisdom. George’s dad gives quiet words of wisdom more than once in the movie, carefully choosing those words.

The first time you see Peter Bailey, George is working for the druggist, Mr. Gower, who has just received terrible news, and is drunk. The medicine the druggist has mixed up for a customer’s sick child is poison, and will kill the child if the medicine is delivered. George is trying to figure out what to do, because he knows delivering the medicine, which is his job, will send his boss to jail. And kill someone. He can’t deliver the medicine, but doesn’t know how to tell his drunken and suffering boss. Suddenly, he sees a billboard sign – Ask Dad. He knows.

George races to his father’s business, where an important meeting is going on. Mr. Potter is insulting Peter, instructing him as a board member of the business, to evict families that aren’t paying their rents and mortgages. Peter Bailey responds that times are hard, and a lot of them are out of work. His quiet words and soft admonishments to Potter fall on deaf ears. Certainly Potter has deaf ears, but George heard every word. Even though he was coming with one crisis, the words of his father distracted him, and the insults Potter tossed at Peter and Billy Bailey enraged him.

In a second scene, George is about to go to a graduation party, and his father asks him to reconsider going to college, to help with the business. This night, on the eve of his own fatal stroke, even after George had called his father’s dream a ‘shabby little office’, he says:

You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important. Satisfying a fundamental urge. It's deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we're helping him get those things in our shabby little office.

Now, if you’ve seen this movie as often as I have, you’ve already ‘caught me’ – Peter Bailey only shows up in the movie twice. But no, he is there a third and final time, as a picture on the wall in his small board room, where George has decided he has to give up college after all, or the Bailey Building and Loan will fail. He stops to look at a picture on the wall, a picture of his father. Under it is a small plaque with the words,

All you can take with you is that which you’ve given away.

This tiny plaque reminds him of his father’s purpose, and he cannot abandon his father’s dream. So he once again listens to his parents, and sacrifices his college for his dad.

Today’s proverb from Solomon was advice he was giving to his own son, Rehoboam. Solomon had listened to the advice of his father, King David, though the faith David tried to impart to his son didn’t quite stick like it should have. And Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, listened even less. The opportunistic friends of Rehoboam had much more influence on him than Solomon’s advisors. God had orchestrated this as punishment for Solomon’s idolatry. But the advice Solomon left for his son is true for all of us as well.

So, especially if your parents are wise, treasure and value what they say. Listen to their advice. Pay attention to their counsel, because it can often save you from heartache later.

Prayer:

Lord God, thank you for my parents. May you remind me of the Godly wisdom and counsel they’ve imparted to me, today. Amen

[pickledkiwiberry]

Okay there's a few bits I want to reply:

My background

I am a programmer ("Software Engineer" for the industry parlance, despite how totally unregulated my profession is by either the public or private sector). I've worked full time in startup technology for the better part of a decade and prior to that I spent over a decade in non-professional programming communities.

Risk and limitations

I have to talk pretty abstractly about this stuff because like, well...

"...ensure order remains in a manner nearly identical to the way a religious order maintains its vertical power structure..." - osaka

A weird thing happens as you move up the (sub)classes in the United States where as you make more money, you're pressured to take on more expenses by your workplace peers where now you have a mortgage and an auto loan and property taxes and you're supporting your family to the point they depend on you and you get pets and start planning out children and--

Basically there was a point in my life where I thought making money would mean I'd be free, and I was wrong. I have so many things I have to worry about now that if I got kicked out of my industry I have a LOT to lose, because I wouldn't be able to survive on lower wages anymore. And because I have people I care about how depend on me, I'd be hurting other people, not just myself.

And despite how massive the tech industry is, it's also based hugely on networking. The best way to get a job is to know somebody who has a job. If your network breaks down, it becomes exponentially harder to get a job.

I have to maintain my reputation to the extent that I have to be non-specific and not talk about any particular company and make sure my bridges remain unburned.

At the same time, I can still get away with talking in the abstract because it's okay to complain about the industry as long as you give your part of the industry plausible deniability. "Yeah, this industry sucks. And we're the exception!" Whether or not it's true.

So about worksonas

You get to your corporate job. You're excited: You got a good offer, and you're finally going to be able to get off your feet.

You meet your new coworkers. You are shy at first, but as you start opening up you start to show your genuine personality.

You immediately face consequences.

No matter how many times Human Resources (or its modern incarnation: People & Culture) or the Executives tell you that they want you to bring your genuine self to work, it's a lie. The social norms of the office are nothing like they are in the outside world. Your genuine personality will bring you threatening conversations with your managers, exclusion from decision making processes, and downward momentum.

So you make a mask. It hides parts of you and shows things that aren't there. At first it's little things: You're less dramatic in your speech. You start using more corporate lingo. You try not to rock the boat, but you try to make yourself heard... just enough to keep you on the promotion ladder.

The mask gets thicker. Meetings aren't a waste of your time, they bring value you to and your coworkers. You trust in the Executives decision-making. You aren't just here for the paycheck: You believe in what we're doing. You're part of the team.

That mask is heavy. And soon, you're faced with a fork in the road.

Some people split their personality. That's my camp. It's like ripping your brain in half: There's the you at work, and there's the real you. The way I talk when I'm around suits: It's unfamiliar. Alien. It feels like I'm watching somebody else talk. It'd be disconcerting if I weren't so used to it.

Others, they change themselves. Their worksona becomes their real personality. They become LinkedIn influencers.

Being honest with your coworkers

I find myself in one-on-ones. Meetings where it's just me and another person. They aren't recorded. We aren't being watched. But we're watching each other.

We know each others worksonas but we don't know our genuine selves. We have to speak in code, creating openings in our speech for the other to inch a little closer to how we really feel.

The longer we get to know each other, but more our code changes to communicate real feelings.

You and I both think most of our meetings are a waste of our time. But we can't say that. We both know that we both feel this way, but we still need plausible deniability. They're just difficult to focus on, and we need to work harder on being attentive. We discuss strategies.

You can't truly know which road your coworker took. If their worksona is their persona, or if they're faking, too. And if they're faking... you still can't show too much vulnerability. There's too much incentive to bury each other, and use the mound of dirt to climb a bit higher.

On the subject of stress

I'm writing this post with a smile on my face even though nobody's watching.

What happens off the books?

"I am utterly fascinated. Where can I find out more about this stuff that does not appear in documents?" - osaka

I'm not sure. What I can say is that a lot of the corporate world is about unwritten agreements. I've seen interactions where you have multiple companies who are technically violating each other's agreements, but in ways they off the record are okay with.

Why would you have an agreement if you're both okay violating it?

Plausible deniability

To anyone who's worked with me or works with me: Know that I'm talking about a different company than the one we worked at or work at together. This isn't a record. Things may be dramatized. Things may be made up. I'm not talking about you.

The most important reason to keep things off the record is to maintain plausible deniability.

Alpha Corp has their terms of service. Their clients are constantly ignoring this, and off the record Alpha Corp is okay with it. The point of the terms isn't to stop Beta Corp and Gamma Corp from violating it, it's so that when shit hits the fan and there's a public outcry, or a lawsuit, or what have you, Alpha Corp can point to what's on the record and say: "We had no idea this was happening. It shouldn't have happened. Beta Corp and Gamma Corp are to blame."

You go to Beta Corp and Gamma Corp. They tell you they didn't realize it was a violation, that they're sorry, and they're making organizational changes to prevent this from happening in the future. There's no record saying that what they said was wrong.

But off the record: Beta was in a meeting with their account execs over at Alpha and they asked how serious they were about those terms. The meeting wasn't recorded, and Alpha said "I mean, you shouldn't do it, but we don't keep track of it." There's a tone to those words. We don't keep track of it. Emphasis. It's a quiet go-ahead.

Gamma sees that Beta is doing this. They know they've been doing it for a while. They see the signal: Alpha doesn't care, so we can do it, too. They don't record that decision. As for as the records state, just like Beta, just like Alpha, they weren't aware.

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

How to Accurately Calculate Costs When Buying a Fixer-Upper

How to Accurately Calculate Costs When Buying a Fixer-Upper | The Listing Team 1. Consider DIY Projects

Doing some projects yourself can reduce expenses. So, take time to figure out which parts of the renovation you can handle on your own. Things like removing wallpaper or painting are more straightforward. However, plumbing and electrical work should be left to the professionals.

When deciding which projects to tackle, consider your level of expertise. If you haven't done a home improvement project before, it may not be the best idea. Also, keep in mind your schedule. If you have a full-time job, you might become more stressed out than you want.

2. Do Your Research

Have your contractor walk through the house and give you a written cost estimate. Getting this information allows you to make smarter decisions about your budget. If you’re doing the renovation, get the supply prices first. Ensure you also tack on an extra 20-25% to handle surprise costs.

3. Look Up Permit Costs

Ask your contractor if the work requires any permits and what the cost would be. Failing to get one could complicate things when you go to sell your home. Plumbing and electrical work or additions often require permits.

Figure out whether you or your contractor will pick these up. You can obtain a certification through your local municipal office. Just remember it will take time to process the request.

4. Determine the Price for Structural Work

If your home needs lots of structural repairs, such as new walls, then hire a structural engineer. They can inspect your home and give you a cost estimate. Then you can add these expenses into your budget ahead of time. Also, before buying, ensure you fully understand the extent of the problem and how to fix it.

To find a professional, start with your network. Reach out to friends and family or your local home inspectors and designers. You can also use the HomeAdvisor directory of residential engineers.

5. Understand the Cost of Financing

Have enough money for the down payment, closing costs, and repairs. If you’re using a home equity loan, make sure you get pre-approval before making an offer. You can get these loans from your bank, credit union, or an online lender. First, ensure you have enough equity in your home and check your credit score.

Have the deal contingent on receiving the purchase and renovation loan, so you have money after the sale. Another option is the Federal Housing Administration's Section 203(k) program. It assists homeowners in buying or refinancing a home that needs renovation. It combines the purchase and rehabilitation costs into a single mortgage. To qualify, your property value must fall within the Federal Housing Administration limit.

6. Keep in Mind the Building Material Costs

Talk with your contractor to learn what material they already have and what they still need to buy. Purchasing raw supplies in bulk can help them cut costs. Along with building materials, construction leaves behind waste products, such as scraps. So, waste management fees should be included in the overall budget.

7. Know the Home’s Age

To determine your property's age, review your ownership documents or head to your county records office. If your home is older, you will more likely need to make substantial changes. This leads to bigger and more costly upgrades. For example, an older house often has outdated plumbing or electrical systems.

Knowing these expenses beforehand helps you create an accurate budget. To get a better idea of the projects that need to be done, get a home inspection. In addition, check for lead-based paint, radon, pests, and mold.

Calculating Costs Successfully

When buying a new home, there’s a lot to think about. Money is a top concern for many homeowners, especially when purchasing a fixer-upper. Yet, it can be less stressful if you account for all the factors. Review these tips to calculate the expenses and create your renovation budget.

[weiklawoffice]

If you’re considering Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Raleigh to get a handle on your debt but aren’t sure if you qualify, I’m here to help you figure it out.

I invite you to call Weik Law Office for a free consultation, but in the meantime, here are a few questions I’d like you to consider before our meeting.

1. Do You Have a Regular Source of Income?

First things first, to qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in North Carolina, you need to have a regular and stable source of income.

Now, I know that might sound intimidating, but regular income doesn’t necessarily mean a steady paycheck from a traditional job.

Income can come from all sorts of places—maybe you’re self-employed, receiving Social Security, have a side business, or even rental income.

What matters is that you can show the court that you’ll have the money to make monthly payments under the Chapter 13 repayment plan.

Your income doesn’t have to be exactly the same every month, but it should be reliable enough to show you can stick to a plan.

If you’re unsure whether your income qualifies, that’s something we can figure out together when we have a free consultation.

2. Do Your Debts Fit Within the Limits?

Another key factor is the amount of debt you’re dealing with. Right now, your unsecured debt—things like credit cards, medical bills, or personal loans—need to be less than $419,275.

And your secured debts—like mortgages or car loans—can’t exceed $1,257,850. These limits are adjusted every so often, but as long as your debts fall within these amounts, you’re good to go.

If your debt is higher than these limits, don’t panic just yet! We might need to consider other options, but that’s what I’m here for as your bankruptcy lawyer in Raleigh NC.

3. Do You Have Enough Disposable Income?

One of the most important parts of Chapter 13 is that you’ll need to be able to pay into a repayment plan every month.

After you cover your essential living expenses—things like rent, utilities, groceries, and healthcare—you need to have some money left over, what we call “disposable income”.

This leftover money will go toward paying off your debts under the Chapter 13 plan.

I know it can feel a little nerve-wracking to think about making those payments, but don’t worry—we’ll work together to figure out what’s realistic for you. My goal is to make sure your plan is manageable and sets you up for success.

4. Have You Completed Credit Counseling?

Before you can officially file for Chapter 13, you’ll need to complete a credit counseling course. It’s simply meant to help you explore your options and confirm that bankruptcy is the right path for you.

The course can easily be done online, and I can point you toward trusted agencies to make the process smooth and hassle-free.

5. Are Your Tax Filings Up to Date?

Now, this is a big one: to file for Chapter 13, you need to be up to date on your tax filings. If you’re behind on filing your taxes, don’t worry too much—we can work on getting any missing returns filed as soon as possible.

The court wants to make sure that all your financial records are in order before you start a repayment plan, and I’ll guide you through this part to make sure you’re in compliance.

6. Have You Filed for Bankruptcy Before?

If you’ve filed for bankruptcy before, it’s important to know that there are certain time restrictions for filing Chapter 13 again.

If you received a Chapter 13 discharge in the last two years or a Chapter 7 discharge in the last four years, you may need to wait a bit before filing again. There are also restrictions if your previous case was dismissed within the last 180 days.

But again, don’t worry if this applies to you—every situation is different, and we’ll look at the specifics of your case to figure out your best options.

Let’s Talk—Together, We Can Find the Right Path Forward

If you’re still feeling unsure, that’s completely normal. Filing for Chapter 13 is a big decision, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

When we meet, we’ll go over your financial situation in detail, talk about your options, and figure out if Chapter 13 is the right fit for you.

I understand how stressful debt can be, but you don’t have to face it alone. Remember, you’re not just another case here.

Call Weik Law Office today at 919-845-7721 for a free consultation, and set up a time to speak with one of our friendly professionals.

Law Office of Ronald D Weiss - Mortgage Modifications

When financial hardship strikes, paying off your mortgage can feel like an uphill battle. For Long Island homeowners, the prospect of losing their home to foreclosure is a real and pressing issue. However, there is a lifeline that can change everything: loan modification.

The purpose of a loan modification is to help you keep your home by changing the terms of your mortgage so that the payments are cheaper. Let’s take a closer look at how Long Island loan modification works, why it’s so important, and how expert services can save your property.

What is a mortgage modification?

A mortgage modification is a change to the original terms of your mortgage agreement that is negotiated between you and your lender. What is the goal? Usually by adjusting the interest rate, loan term or principal to make your monthly payments more manageable.

It can help with Ronald D Weiss

Lower monthly payments

Preventing Foreclosure

Providing financial breathing space

Unlike a refinance, a loan modification does not require you to qualify for a new loan. Instead, it focuses on reformulating existing loans based on your financial difficulties.

Why Long Island Homeowners Need Loan Modifications

Homeowners on Long Island face unique challenges. With higher-than-average property values ​​and tax rates, it’s easy to fall behind on payments if unexpected expenses occur. Common reasons for seeking a loan modification include:

Loss of income: Losing your job or income can put a strain on your finances.

Medical expenses: Unplanned medical expenses may take precedence over mortgage payments.

Rising interest rates: Adjustable-rate mortgages can cause payments to surge.

Divorce or separation: Dividing family finances can be stressful.

If not addressed, these issues can lead to mortgage default and ultimately foreclosure. Loan modification offers you a lifeline to regain control of your financial future.

How does the loan modification process work?

Assess your financial situation:

A detailed review of your income, expenses, and debts can help determine eligibility.

To submit a hardship letter:

Lenders require proof of financial hardship, usually in the form of a letter explaining your situation.

Provide the necessary documents:

Typical requests include pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements.

Negotiate terms with your lender:

A professional loan modification service will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the best terms possible.

Approval and Adjustment:

Once approved, the new terms will be implemented and your payments will become more manageable.

Advantages of Professional Loan Modification Services with Ronald D Weiss

The loan modification process can be tedious. Expert services simplify the process and ensure better outcomes. Here’s how:

In-depth knowledge: Professionals understand lender policies and state regulations.

Negotiate effectively: They advocate for terms that are favorable to you.

Minimize errors: Accurate paperwork reduces delays.

Faster Results: Experienced professionals streamline the process, saving you time and stress.

Key benefits:

Extensive Experience: Over 30 years helping distressed homeowners.

Comprehensive service: from negotiation to documentation, every step is covered.

Common Misconceptions About Loan Modification

“I’m going to lose my home in the process.”

Wrong. Most lenders will suspend foreclosure proceedings while loan modification negotiations are ongoing.

“It’s impossible to get approval.”

With proper documentation and expert assistance, approval rates increase significantly.

“It’s the same as refinancing.”

no. Loan modifications alter existing terms, while refinancing involves replacing the loan entirely.

Signs You Should Consider Modifying Your Loan

Not sure if a loan modification is right for you? Please note the following warnings:

You frequently default on your mortgage payments.

You have received a foreclosure notice.

Your mortgage payments exceed 30% of your monthly income.

You’ve suffered a major financial setback.

Addressing these issues early can save you from losing your home.

Tips for a Successful Loan Modification

Timely Communication: Respond quickly to lender requests.
