    Narcissistic ex wife is kicking off again. She's fucked up the rent and I'm now left to panic if she will just take my kid back to Japan.

    Howdy, long time lurker infrequent poster but around now and again since 2003 when I was in art school.

    Watched a lot change, trolls come and go, PSB’s from the old when there were prizes to current and hilarious SET works.

    Seen a number of posts in the ‘blog’ and wanted to respond but decided posting with a little more anominity was maybe best as many of the posts hit me personally and while I wanted to share the user name I created so many years back leads right to me.

    The posts about creative misfunction, working with idiots, , the pain of looking for new gigs as a high level creative, depression, issues with family and more have been things I wanted to reply to but felt I couldn’t.

    Cheers QBN peeps for the often needed entertainment, voices of similar feelings and regular creative fun.

    So, a bit of a victory today, albeit a Pyrrhic one.

    The fine folks at social services told me not to shift from my flat, come 26 April. According to them, what happens after that is that the landlords need to file for eviction in court, and the court date usually takes months. After that, by law, once the eviction order has been given by the court, I still have a two-month grace period during which I can pay back the rent arrears fully, which would invalidate the eviction order.

    So there we have it. It's neither an elegant, nor a particularly honourable solution, even though the law is sort of on my side. And it will absolutely make me feel like a complete shit-heel for taking advantage of it. But, frankly, I'm not at all keen to live under a bridge, no matter how handsome the bridges over the Isar River actually are.

    Now, I need to focus on getting a job as soon as I can, so that I can finally sort this ugly situation once and for all, and finally get my life and career back, and not have this shame/guilt/embarrassment toxic soup sloshing around in my head.

    Thanks for all of your support, QBNers. You're all lovely people!

    Remember on the Simpsons when Homer went to a sci-fi convention and rescued Luke Skywalker from a crowd of angry nerds and because of that he became Mayor Quimby's bodyguard. And remember at the end, despite Homer's best efforts Fat Tony still tried to kill Quimby with a baseball bat. And remember Homer's reaction to that? Remember the disappointment in his voice?

    Well that's the voice in my head when ever I see Morrissey has done another interview.

    "Oh Morrissey"

    Despite yesterday's 'good' news, I still feel like the worst sort of human being imaginable today because I let this spiral out of control, and because I can't solve the problem immediately. Vulnerable and ashamed.

    Sorry for dumping my off-QBN drama on you guys like this. Guess I've just got no-one else I can talk to about this.

    • Honestly - and this may sound perverse - it's good knowing I'm not the only one having a shit time of things, so thanks for spilling your heart. Good luck!detritus

    It's insane how some get triggered by anything. Seems politics is a touchy subject on QBN. I'm a centrist-left/ liberal and it seems as long as you say "fuck Trump" it's all ok but if you post anything slightly criticising SJW's or some conservative views you might agree with it's no bueno.

    • I've mostly checked out of the politics thread. It's simply too toxic, after a while.

      Kind of like reading YouTube vid comments.

    • also, fuck Trump, because he is an awful excuse for a leader, and an even more awful excuse for a decent human; anyone who supports trump deserves ridiculemonospaced

    Ok I'm leaving QBN. I was never given a chance. From the start people here accused me of being some other users.

    Since I posted some videos by PJW that I found interesting and agreed with I'm just getting downvotes. God forbid you post some different views/ opinions even if left-leaning (which I am). Seems some people are really so deep in their comfort zone and echo-chamber they can't accept any other views on certain topics. Or at least discuss in a constructive manner without calling names.

    It's a waste of time to argue and I don't want to stir more shit up here.

    Wish you all the best, take care.
