Ugh! i have been here before.

The Stress.. The Anxiety.. The feeling of Hopelessness.

Christmas Eve, i feel you, guy.
I have been there.. even caught myself joking about ‘robbing a bank’, to make ends meet, once the bills start coming in…
But, come on Horia! We don’t act on our impulses!
…someone definitely made that Naughty List…

I bet you were “Good” the whole year, too..
*plop*
just to face-plant at the day before! Harsh.

Maybe next .. 57.. what the?? Who does that?
Once it’s beyond 18 months i have to grab a calculator..
4-3/4 years (4.75 for the fractional haters)

Where was i?.. oh yeah

Notice how the courts have made it a couple months longer, so you get out in February!
You’ll have to be good another 10 months during 2027, to become eligible!
Good Luck, bro!
