Yes, what we all knew would eventually happen has come to pass. Dan is no longer with us. He’s with someone else. Dan managed to get himself fired after showing up to work drunk and driving a forklift into a door, breaking both the door and the forklift. Dan was uninjured (OSHA… it works).
Some of you might be wondering why I haven’t been posting. If you have, then thank you for caring. Nigel and I had a very rough time of things. The economy hit his company hard and he ended up having to find a job elsewhere, which pays less and has more hours, so we’re bothing having to work much harder. It looks like he’ll be up for a promotion in a few months, so things might get easier then.
We also decided to get a legal divorce, though we remain domestic partners. I just couldn’t hack the wife legal property business anymore. Unfortunately, this means that I lost my insured status, and I can’t afford private insurance with my pittance artist’s income (though our household income is too high to qualify for government insurance). Fortunately, I have a friend who is a doctor and he’s been looking out for me when I need prescriptions.
Although obviously the Dan Chronicles can be no more, I’m going to go ahead and leave them up for anyone to read as an object lesson. I’ll be altering the FAQ to reflect our current situation more accurately. Thanks for reading.
