Test, test, test. # Today ## Message to Max Ugh I have to write to max. Screenshot. Do you remember when you said this. I am sorry to ask, but would I be able to take you up on it? TL/DR: URGH: **The miserable humiliating situation:** The last two months have been uniquely bad for unexpected costs: passport replacement, physiotherapy, *and* because of some fuck up with my contract being extended into a fourth year, I have had an extra 500 euros of tax taken out of each of my two most recent salaries. I'll get some of it back at some point, but that is scant consolation right now. Because of all this, a 900 and something pounds (1000 euroish) debt is on my credit card. It is not the end of the world if it sits there a couple more months, but I would really like to avoid losing even more money on the interest, and I still have to pay for half my suit, and my shoes. Which is to say, if you could loan me any portion of this debt it would be much appreciated. Obviously, *obviously*, it is not a problem at all if you can't do this. No questions asked, no justification expected. You're the first person I've asked, so I have other options, and as I said, the worst case is eating the cost of the credit card. ugh this has been so unpleasant to write, i feel like I am turning inside out. ## Message to Carmen Hey Carm, sorry not to be in touch. Nothing like what you are going through, but I have been very depressed, and haven't had much emotional bandwidth at all. But yeah, I don't know if you remember but I know very well what it is like to lose a close friend. I don't have anything else to say other than platitudes, but I don know how hard this is. I hope Italy is going to give you some distraction at the very least. See you soon xx --- # Actions ---
