New Mexico

I almost immediately got a job at a law firm But I was supposed to be shared between 2 firms. One attorney was older, had a bigger operation and his books were a mess. I told him, diplomatically, that they were a mess and what needed to be fixed. He decided to keep using the bookkeeper who messed things up because he was cheaper. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

The younger attorney just split off his practice in 2023. We got along FAMOUSLY, but he didn't yet have enough business to keep me busy full time. So he let me go after 90 days, but wrote me a wonderful letter of recommendation.

I found another job in mid November. Actually, I had to choose between 2 offers. So I accepted one and went in on a Monday, only to discover they HAD NO MONEY. I mean like bouncing paychecks no money. No line of credit either. They had plenty of open invoices that were owed to them, some past due, but when I asked about them, they said we couldn't expect payment any time soon. I woke up to go in on the 3rd day and threw up. The let me go, but did pay me for the 2 days.

Things were pretty quiet in December, which is to be expected. I have one, maybe 2 more unemployment checks. I really only need to work full time for 3 more years.
