When Francis goes to Bellingham, Wa.

In the episode where he's trying to get to Alaska and ends up in Bellingham, it is great! That's actually where I live! Just funny that my favorite show of all time mentions my home town, I am curious though, Bellingham has had a little bit of a glow up the past few years but any idea why the show writers mentioned bham specifically? Like it's sort of a small place, just seems like a shout-out or something?

I quit my job and I'm terrified now

Dinner; banana, blackberries,nonfat yogurt and hemp hearts.

I worked at a plastic factory for five years. I loved it. I got sober at that job, went through a few houses and boyfriends even but I loved it. The company is small and their trying to sell, so for the last four years there were no raises and I was making minimum wage.

So I went searching for new work and I found it at a railroad. Taking crude oil out of the trains. Did all my training and got all my cards and I absolutely hated it. I let a lot of my ego talk me into the job but I literally couldn't do it, there wasn't a single thing I enjoyed and I was crying after every shift so far.

So I left. I don't feel great about giving up so quickly but there was a huge knot in my stomach even thinking about it. But I also left without a plan. The job I was going to take before the railroad, really like me but I said I'll let you know if this doesn't work out. I contacted them and they said they'll get back to me, because their doing interviews. I don't have money saved, I did pay my bills for this month already but I'm bugging out. I could go through express but I'll likely be making minimum wage again and be at a job I dislike. I mean I don't have much of a choice but I thought I was making a good decision and taking a chance but it just didn't work out.

Now I'm terrified to tell my dad and I feel like my friends are disappointed in me. Don't shit on me, just need some friendly advice.
