Challenge Accepted

I'm pretty curious as too how you got all that done in a day. Sounds like skills. maybe you'll be able too convince your landlord too

Less-than-legal options are on the list, should push come to shove.


Heading out.

Da fuck? That rent better cover utilities.

Damn Freak, where you at? South Gate? Inglewood?

Little town outside Fresno, ca. people from the bay area been moving here since you can build a mansion for the price for a townhouse in SF or a studio apt in LA.

Also for the snow Negros.

Ever thought about doing security?

How'd the interviews go Jack?

Indeed I have.

Even applied for a few, despite lack of experience. I've managed to bullshit my way into work like that before.




Got four jobs. I staggered trial periods to see which ones are best whilst also giving me room to play with more interviews.



It does.

How do you even do it, I'm pretty impressed.

security is good for a flexible schedule

Do what, exactly?




Although I imagine the times that it's not life-threatening are long stretches of immense boredom and drudgery.

Get interviews, and jobs that quick and easy?

Carpet bomb applications.

I've exhausted the entire repertoire for Indeed, Kijiji, Monster, and the classifieds in three papers. Not even staying within my field; anything that I think I'll be able to do. The variation builds experience and helps build connections.

I have 4 years of experience in my field, so that definitely helps loads (warning to all students- unless your school has a good placement program- finding work without experience is gonna be tough as shit).

Natural charisma/confidence helps whilst leaving voice messages and during interviews, too.


As for being able to stagger several trial periods allowing me plenty of leg room- effectively having my prospective employers playing by my rules- I chalk that up to the nature of the trade; these guys have all been through the same shit I've been through- so we already talk more like equals rather than boss/mook.

Three papers?... Wow... what is your field? ( I bet the experience helps a shit ton, say, I have a 2 month unpaid externship after I graduate, do you think that would help a bit?)
I need some of that confidence lol
I'm assuming your level of expertise matchs theirs?

Construction. Carpenter.

So that basically puts me as a jack-of-all-trades.

I've done concrete, formwork, framing, siding (wood and vinyl), flooring, insulation, windows/doors, roofing (asphalt and metal), decking, tiling, painting, plaster, stucco, finishing, cabinetry, stairs, landscaping. Residential, renovation, commercial, and industrial.

Can operate scissor lift, zoom boom (telescopic load carrier), manlift, and backhoe.

I have a lot left to learn, but I learn fast.


Expertise basically boils down to years of experience/natural aptitude- as it would for anything else, really. I can eyeball measurements and estimate materials better than some guys, but others can heft more weight and sink nails faster. I'm better at working at heights (my boss always has to remind me to put my harness on, since we're 200+ feet), but others are more precise while pouring concrete.

The only universal thing is that the safety chicks are hot.

I couldn't do your job man, I ain't one for physical labor, though I do a bit myself(can't really compare a car wash too your field of work though) I'm the type of person who's well average I suppose that it takes a while too get me motivated and wanting too do my best.. but I'm more suited too tech related things, which is why I wanna learn more about IT in the future.

All you really need is food, water, and a decent internet connection. The rest is trivial.

My rent covers the water and internet.

As for food, I went to the food bank yesterday.


They give out a lot. Was more than I could carry.

I work weekends. Fri-Sun 1800-0600

I get four days off and 11 an hour.

I mostly just play on my 3DS or Use my phone.
