### Comment:
Yeah fortunately I got a heads up about my lagging performance in the form of a bonus the week before. 
  
 I mean, at l least I can pay my bills. But, I have no idea how to explain this in future interviews

### REPLY:
I don’t know the right answer but I’d put it as it is in that case. Just tell the interviewer you were going through a tough time but still tried to put your best foot forward. You can always drizzle a bit to make sappy/emotional come across as a “wow this guy went through shit and made it out stronger” type of a story

### END.
