applying for jobs and dreads

get a bicycle.

 

find a way to get to the bus route. ride your bike or carpool. or hitchhike.
i just don't like when people are upset over the fact that their parents won't help them out. good parents DON"T HELP!

 

What bus route? I just said there isn't one. And there's no way I can bike 25 miles (50 round trip) each day just to get to work and back, that's just not feasible.

 

^no shit.

my suggestion is to quit whining about mommy and daddy being unfair and grow up a little. take your life into your own hands. mommy and daddy won't always be there and you are lucky to have people that care enough to let you stay in their house.

don't like your lot in life? change it. you are the only one who can.

 

I'm fucking trying to, there's just nothing I can do. It's a fucking cycle of shit, I can't get a car because I don't have a job, but I can't really get a fucking job if I don't have a car so I can get to the job, can I?

 

dude, i bike at least 25 miles to work and back every day I work. Count that and the fact that I swim around 50 laps when I get to work.

Its not as hard as you think, considering I make that twelve mile trip in a little less than an hour on a fixed gear bike.


Maybe you could get a dirt bike or motor scooter for 100-300 bucks on craigslist...

i think you need to be a lil more flexible with your plans, try instead of taking every step forward like a pawn then you could walk like a bishop or a rook. ya dig? move differently...

 

more whining.

if other people in a similar condition can do it, you can too. it may take more effort, but is totally achievable.

can you believe that people that start out with less than you can end up as millionaires?

:cheers2:

there's a thousand different things you could do if you wanted to get on your feet. i sold hats and necklaces that i made, sold drugs, traded shit, pawned shit, did extremely difficult manual labor, etc. to get on my feet. all things i would rather not have done but its what i had to do.

 

theres this really great thing, you might not have heard of, its called WALKING. yes ok a 50 mile round trip is lots... but walk a bit to somewhere to get a cab? or a carpool? or a bus? hell, get a skateboard or a bmx.

and what np said - those crappy fimo beads i made earnt me a nice cheque last month, and soon ill have another order... i dont intend to make a living off it, but its money that goes into my savings, and my driving lessons (which in turn will help me get a job)

 

You guys are really overestimating the size of this town. We don't have cabs, buses, any of that shit. You have to go at least 20 miles on the highway to get anywhere real. And there's not enough people here to sell random bullshit to. Hell, I play organ and could easily make 2 or 3 hundred dollars for playing at a wedding, but there are barely even any weddings here, and multiple people trying to get the same 1 or 2 weddings.

 

exactly. if i can turn ounces into pounds all the while crocheting hats at night and dragging 300 pound loads up and down hills in the texas sun at work for MINIMUM wage (5.50 at that time) then anyone can do it. cuz im just a big fuck up and i think most could do better than i have cuz im lazy and apathetic.:cheers2:

 

if you cant get a job and really need a job and your dreads are'nt helping you,cut them off.......its called survival

 

this is one of the reasons i cut my hair..it was shoulder length but i became discourged because i figured job hunting would be much harder because of dreads. but fuck it ima do it anyways..so its been a month since i last buzzed my head. and its gonna be another year before its that long again

 

To the OP: Do you really believe that you need your parents to help you change your situation? It sounds to me as if you have a million excuses why you can't do it yourself, yet, if you put the same amount of energy into finding your own solutions, you'd have it figured out by now. Life sucks, then you die. Stopo making excuses and make solutions...
