Important: Please Read (July 2021)

Hello.

I am going to make this very straight forward and to the point.

I am very much NOT ok in RL. I am struggling. Between my health issues that may cause me to have a miscarriage to the death of my RL friend from covid.

I am not doing ok. I have so much to deal with outside of SL all while trying to get as much work done as I possibly can in SL. I understand that if you have purchased a license or a custom URL or anything that you are waiting for me on that you may be frustrated from waiting. I am *not* proud or happy for the long wait times but my RL comes first – always. I have been working through the weekends which I never have done before to try to catch up on. I am only one person – I do not have a manager and I do not have any CSR’s currently.

I am *never* this late to deliver what customers purchase. This is the *first time* in my 13 years in business so please, I beg you, to give me a break and please understand I am under A LOT of stress which has brought on a deep depression to boot. I have lost a lot of incredibly close people in my life since 2019 including my mom that I am also very much struggling to deal with. I found out I was pregnant on July 15th and now may be having a miscarriage which I won’t know for sure for weeks until I have another ultrasound. I just had a close family friend literally die yesterday from covid.

I am just really in need of a bit of time to catch my breath. I *PROMISE* to deliver your purchases as soon as possibly. I am looking to have all purchases delivered by August 1st at the latest so please just let me to do my best to do my job as best I can during such a rough time in my life.

Thank you,
LustyLexxi Larimore

!!Very Important: My Absence!!

Hello,

I hope you are all doing well. I am writing this post to inform everyone that I will be unavailable for a few days (possibly longer) because I am being hospitalized (to be scheduled for tomorrow, waiting for the call) for medical reasons for the primary safety of my pregnancy. I will not get into specifics as of right now but the medical professional said it could be a few days or longer depending upon how the issue is going and if it has become at a safe, manageable level. I will request to take my laptop but I’m not sure how that will go.

I will keep you posted as much as I can.

Thank you for understanding.

Sale Offers & Why I’m so far behind.

Full transparency: These sales are being done because I need a new computer & that is where the proceeds will be going. I’m to a point where it takes over an hour to just to see anything or move sometimes when I sign on or I have to try to login 3+ times to see anything/move … All I see is: https://i.gyazo.com/0862c085b63f6b1ff2f2650cd9406e31.png

So I’m guessing this computer will not last much longer.

Besides the fact that I’m understaffed…This is another reason why it is taking me so long to do the work I am behind on and on top of trying to mix in doing hiring interviews (which I haven’t been able to get in the time) so I am SO sorry. If you wish to tip instead you can by paying any of the tip boards at the office. No obligation/pressure!

News & Updates

Hey there! 👋

1: BONUS TIME: Automatically get 1 week free when you put 4 weeks on any rental (new or existing). We will be keeping this as an automatic bonus 💖🎉 Must use the 4 week pay option to have bonus applied. If done right, you’ll see a notice in local chat.

This is Hostcrate’s early (13th) birthday gift to our 🥰AMAZING customers 🥰

2: EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS: This option is coming so those who seem to not be getting the notices from the rental boxes and/or miss our termination warnings, etc. There will be a small fee as this will take time to manage.

3: HIRING: I am currently very much understaffed which means I am doing everything myself so that is why there have been so many delays on my end (I’m sorry about that!!). We are hiring for 1 to 2 people to create our streams – attention to detail is HIGHLY important!. I will also be looking for 1 to 2 CSRs and an Event Manager (experience required for event manager). Interested? Applications at: https://news.hostcrate.stream/careers-now-hiring/

That is it for now! Have a great weekend everyone!! 😁😎
