In appreciation they've upgraded my personal account to a business account. Better pricing, more unique items, cool management tools, and I can add other members to my account to receive my new perks.

COOL!
Oh damn. That's a sweet deal. Congrats.

Sorry to hear that, Kiii. Did that come as a shock or was she expecting it? Has she any other options?

It was sudden. She texted me and my brother letting us know. She had no idea. She won't be out of work for long hopefully as she has a degree and she's been a manager there for almost 4 years. I recommended she check out Xbox a few weeks ago because she was wondering about career changes so she might go for that, if they'll let her. Idk how it works for companies within other companies that you've been laid off from.

I'm not worried though. I've saved a lot over the past couple years so I'm prepared to help wherever needed. That's the point of family anyway, right?

Damn right.
Till it's their turn to help you out, of course. Sadly, I speak from experience.
But yeah, good for you that you're prepared to help her get back on her feet.

True Indiana OG's still call it Deer Creek, it's your typical large outdoor venue with covered pavilion seating and a huge lawn. I'm only a casual Weezer fan (Pixies too, sorry Ninetales) but it was a hell of a show and I loved every minute.
