UPDATE: I have not been evicted b/c the hotel manager did not show up to work today lmao. Okay. 👍 Dude legit never works weekends, so I guess I am good for another week. (I have the back rent $, but the manager is very mad at me for making him do his job sometimes, so it could go either way really.)
I think it's neat that the hotel manager waited until the day before Thanksgiving to let me know I am being evicted the day after Thanksgiving. A real fucking humanitarian.
