So, my brother's gonna have his realtor friend find a house for him to bid on. As for me, I was told to start packing up all my Transformers. Geez, like I was gonna leave them here if he didn't remind me...
So, that's what I'm going to start doing... not like I can go back to sleep now after getting his call.
Gonna have to cancel WoW too - no point renewing if I don't know when or even if I'll be playing again.
So, that's 10:37 on my Wednesday morning...

Sounds like a subtle reminder to stop playing with your fucking Transformers and WoW and get your shit in gear. 
It's not something people hear about.

Not to be cruel, but Sean does have a valid point here.
edit: I am not unsympathetic to your situation, Mightion. I've been forcefully evicted due to similar circumstances, and I know what the job market is like in western NY (shitty. extremely shitty. astoundingly shitty. but I diverge from my point). If at all possible, pack everything up in a truck, and get the fuck out of Buffalo. Find somewhere where you have a better chance of employment. Take your family with you if need be. Seriously, western NY is nothing but a giant sucking vortex of negativity and badness. If you have to stay in the Northeast, try Pennsylvania. It's tons cheaper (I have friends who rented a 4/3 house for $675/mo, all utilities included), and if you're willing to commute, there is the entire tristate area open to you in job searches.

If you have a resume I could ask him if he can find you a job there. Jackman fucked around with this message on 01-25-2006 at 08:01 PM.
Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Actually.. leaving them behind may be just what you need to do. Now, dont go and point out monetary investment, or collectors value or any of that shit. They are toys. You are a grown up. Take them down to a salvation army or something, and let them bring joy to some kid.
At your age you should get joy from women, and the achievement of goals.
Decepticons should not be involved.
Work leads to money. Money leads to a better life. A better life leads to happiness.
Megatron leads to Galvatron. Galvatron leads to the death of Starscream. THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO HAPPINESS!
To that end, we went out and saw an apartment my brother found for the three us to live in temporarily. It's a nice place, plenty of room, although it's way out in North Buffalo. Of course, since it would only be temporary, my mother and my brother don't think we would need DSL there if we're (they're) only planning to be there 3-6 months until my brother finds a two-family home to buy for us. They're both in love with the place, so it really doesn't matter what I think, since I'm not contributing.
I spent today packing up Transformers while listening to CDs (I probably shouldn't have started out with Tori Amos...)... had to pull out the instructions for a few of them since I hadn't touched a lot of them in so long I'd forgotten how to transform them...
Still looking for a job; no replies from the last batch of resumes I sent out, and look out of the area is totally out of the question since I have a negative checking account balance and a five dollar bill in my pocket... and my car is low on gas.
My mom is all optimistic and "God is doing this for a good reason" and all that, while I'm in a mindset that it's a good thing I don't drink or do drugs....
You shouldnt care that your not gonna have DSL for a few months, you should be out looking for jobs, this is the only thing you should be doing.
That's not an insult, as I said in your other thread, there's no job out there above you right now. I find it difficult to believe that there aren't any jobs available for near immediate occupancy in your city right now.

Reynar had this to say about Duck Tales:
Not a single grocery store, gas station, retail store, or fast food joint is hiring in your entire city?
I love customers who shoot the shit while waiting for their food at night time.(Over graveyard, we have to make everything fresh.) At least once a night someone complains about not being able to find a job. I point out the "Now Hiring" signs posted all over the store/outside. At which point, without fail, they say they would "never work at a fast food place."
Grats on being homeless and a leech on society while I support my family working at a fast food place.

If you can handle a move to the eastcoast... they're giving stores away in NC this year, Snoots.. A buddy of mine is getting one in Kitty Hawk and he's barely old enough to drink.

Uh wait, so your brother is setting you up with a place to live after being threatened with homelessness and you're depressed about it not having DSL? Look, I'm the last guy to be harsh on people and I love 1mb/s of porn 24/7 as much as the next dork, but that sounds a bit ungreatful the way you describe it.
Get a good programming book from the library and learn to program offline (will help you with job applications too), read some classics, learn to play chess against the computer, broadband is awesome and all but not having it for a while will not murder you. Make it the first thing on your list of things to buy after you do land a job, but contemplating drug binges over having to make due with dialup for a while is a bit silly.

Thanks for putting legions of future authors and philosophers out of a job by figuring out the meaning of life, jerk.

From what I saw in TX, even the self serve stations keep one attendant on per shift. Disabled customers or people just afraid to leave their car and the like (call button on the pump stations to request assistance)
Of course, all these stations are tied to mini-shops.. so most of the time the attendants sit around and do nothing, a la Clerks.

you sit on your ass and read. Or do homework, or chat on the phone. Could bring in a TV or radio. Etc...
It's a great low-wage job, as long as you can stand up to the boredom.
No, Really. Bite me.

Precisely.
A very good friend of mine recently had to letterbox drop the neighborhood advertising his services to do ironing for people at $8 an hour, because its the only job he (as a fully qualified computer programmer and IT person) can find. This will be his THIRD job so that he can make money to support his family!! (He also works afternoons/evenings on weekends as a babysitter, and Mon-Fri in a local KFC. His wife also works full-time as a cleaner for people's houses, local businesses, etc).
If you want a job, you will find one (even if you have to go out and invent one as it were).
If you want to log on to the internet and whine about how life is unfair and you cant find a job in Outer Ester Buttfuck, USA, then I suggest creating an account at Live Journal with the rest of society's emo losers.... Cavalier- fucked around with this message on 01-27-2006 at 03:09 AM.
