General
I got fired today, so that means that The Bun and I are both unemployed.
We just paid rent, so we're OK for October, but the outlook for us is pretty grim unless we can both get employed very quickly.
Chances are however, that we will lose the apartment.
Our internet is paid, but the electric hasn't been. Depending on how much comes in my last check, and The Bun's last check, we might have to sacrifice it for an extra month of rent. We'd be limited to candlelight, but we'd still have a roof.
As I said, things right now are pretty grim, but we're going to try our best.
Amongst all the other problems we've had lately, this was the lest expected and likely the most devastating.
I'm not going to outright ask for help, but we need it. I try to keep my personal problems out of the fandom as much as possible, but this is something that I can't ignore.
This also means that I'll be doing a lot of job hunting. I'm not sure if that will mean more, or less art (likely less).
Anyway, that's currents events for us right now.

I would advise to file for unemployment benefits as soon as possible. It is not much, but better than nothing.
Here's hoping that things get better. *hugs*
And while I agree that it will help, it probably won't be enough on it's own to keep us in our apartment.
I can only hope that we both get hired on quickly.

Best of luck with everything, we are here for you both. :)
Besides, with the both of us out of work, by the time we got a product on shelves, we would already be evicted.

Also, it is sad what happened to you after what they said. They should have held their word and found other ways to cut costs.
Is there anything we can do? Besides showing as mush support as we can, because that is a given. :)
But like I said, I don't want to start asking people for money. Furs as a rule are poor folk (I know I generally was/am) and the problem is mine and the bunny's.
We'll just have to do what we can and see what happens.
However, if you really want to send money, I have a paypal.

Last week they promised us that they weren't going to fire anyone and that we could compensate by ensuring fewer mistakes.
What they told me today, was that the accountant told the bosses that they needed to free up 'X'-amount of expenditure, and they chose to do that by eliminating me and one other.
So basically, more money for themselves.

I iz sawwy dude.
