After losing my job about six month ago everything else seemed to go downhill.
My girlfriend decided that she needed her, “space”, and I had to rehome my dog because I couldn’t afford to keep him anymore.
Now, I am in the process of selling off my possessions to pay the last month’s rent before I move into my new smaller place. All of these changes have been difficult but I really have no choice in the matter. The thing that I hate losing the most is the set of bookshelves that were built for me. A friend of mine went to school for carpentry and built them for me as a gift. There was no way that they will fit in my new smaller place so I have no choice but to let them go. Whoever buys them will definitely have a quality piece of furniture that should last them for years. They are made solid oak and put together with wooden pegs instead of nails or staples like most that you purchase in the store. I am not sure if I will ever be able to afford such quality pieces again. Maybe one day when I am back on my feet I can contact my friend again. I will probably have to pay him to build me a new set of shelves as he is working for one of the big furniture manufactures now doing custom work for their clients. Maybe I should go back to school since I don’t have a job right now. I could even look into some sort of trade like my friend that has more possibilities employment wise.
