Sick of my fucking job. Been at this place for three years and I requested today off to attend a bridal shower. (I really don't request much off, I don't go anywhere/take many vacations.) They only gave me a part day. I'm exhausted. This sucks.

Edit: I'm half expecting that when I get in, there will have been a couple people called off today. I will be livid.

So, 4/6 of the pants I own, and have owned since I was like 14 and have fit since I bought them. As of this week. I've finally gotten to fat to fit in them comfortably anymore and it makes me sad.

I weigh like176 now. I'm honestly annoyed cause I don't like jean. My GF bought me 1 pair of jeans and I maybe wear it once a few weeks. I like my Zip off baggy Kahkis and they cost stupid amounts of money.

[NynJa]

I woke up and the internets down
Posting from phone obviously

And the internet was down because of a billing issue, despite me going on auto-payment 6 months ago.

Coming home from the in laws yesterday and the car is covered in bugs. When we get home I give it a wash to get all the guts off. Around 3 am it starts raining. Never fails.

yah ive been wearing the same clothes forever now and i've finally regained all my old weight (except this time its not muscle mass its just fat) and now i have to actually be concerned with what i eat beyond just "is this going to murderlate my guts?" or i'll get too fat for my clothes.

Living in Houston all my life. With some relatives, in the industry I became a pipefitter, after a few years as a helper. Bad choice. The work has been so unstable over the years with layoffs really common. With the oil crash at the end of last year...work has been so dry. I've tried switching over careers, but I lack experience in all other fields. I can't find shit for work here. I apply everywhere(Even with a resume), call and try to sweet talk HR people, everything is failing. I've never had this much trouble or struggle in life. I'm probably going to have to take some fast food/retail job(I have no problem with that, but for my family, which is my wife and 6 year old son, I need to at least make $13/hr at the minimum), but even then, applying to those places I don't really have customer service experience(Though I'm far from incompetent.) Everything is coming to an end it seems now. We have a few days, maybe up to a week before we won't have anywhere to go. I've never been this scared of failing. I don't like or want handouts from anyone, I just want someone to take a chance with me and give me an opportunity. Sorry, just kinda wanted to rant before I'll have no where else to rant to.

Don't be afraid to swallow your pride and ask for help. Just remember it's not permanent, and that it's only to help keep things stable until you find a decent job. I remember having to twist Astylla's arm into applying for food stamps before she moved to california as she was unemployed and barely coming up with money for rent.

Yeah, we're working on going through the process of getting public assistance. But it's going to seemingly be a long process(Up to 30 days, and no where near guaranteed) As for personal assistance. I don't really have many people that are in a position to help. As for family, my dad was the coolest mofo in the world, but passed away in 2012. That's pretty much all I had on that front.

I understand what you are going through, as Melena touched upon it took a lot of pushing for me to at least try for assistance. It's tough when you just know you can prove yourself but for whatever reason you keep getting pushed down. My mom was my rock until she passed in 2005, And a year later nearly ended up on the street due to am asshole ex and his meddling mother so I understand, as I have no family myself.

Having been in some bottom of the barrel situations all I can suggest is taking it day by day. I hope things turn around soon.

May have to file a claim with Ebay/Paypal tomorrow. Wife scored me 3 amiibos on ebay for a not so horrible price. Guy finally ships it out 5 days after the auction and had the audacity to ask for more money as he didn't enter shipping info correct into the ebay auction and only charged us like $2.50. 3 days later after many threats, he finally sends us a tracking number and the fucking idiot sent it UPS ground, so had to wait a week. Today is the delivery date, yet tracking hasn't been updated since the 10th when it left North Carolina. Going to be fucking pissed if it's lost.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I'm glad to see everything worked out for you. I'm just trying to keep my eyes laser set to the future and not this little slump. It's all I can do. Something will have to come through eventually.

I truly hope it does. I can't imagine going through it with a family as it was just myself but it sucks hardcore. My best advice is apply for anything on Craigslist and anywhere regardless if you think you're qualified or not. If possible have someone look over your resume, keep it to one page and make it sound better without lying. I list cashier as "Customer service specialist" for example and you can find lots of resume help online too.

At one point I was working 3 jobs and it sucks but it's not forever. Don't be afraid to look into temp agencies too like Manpower.

Just here to echo what the others are saying, don't be afraid to reach out for help. That's why the programs are there, the average hard working Joe forgets that they're also eligible when they're in a slump. Hope it works out man

[Aksannyi]

I second the temp agency thing, you'd be surprised how much easier it is to find a job with those people helping out. Yeah, you might end up with something that will only last a few months, but that buys you something you'll definitely need, which is time for locating something more permanent.

[Harajuku]

Yeah. I'm diving into all the temp agencies around here now. Temp work isn't really anything new to me anyway, as with as many layoffs there are in industrial construction, it's contract/temp work anyways.

Something wrong with my washing machine. Roommate alerted me that it was overflowing. Checked the hoses and they appear to be fine, in/out both working properly. I suspect there is an issue with the automatic shutoff sensor? Hard to tell either way. I don't know much about this kind of shit. I hope its nothing too dreadful because I really don't have the cash to be dropping on a new washing machine.

Sweatpants and/or pajama pants. Who cares what they look like to other people, then are comfortable.

[Aksannyi]

Been working on this final assignment since 10 this morning, I've developed a killer migraine since, and I'm not even close to halfway done with it.

It's going to be a long night.

Ordered an Iphone 6 and it will arrive via Fedex tomorrow. Went through two other vendors for the case and screen protector. Case showed up today, but the screen protector won't arrive until Friday. Probably just going to head to walmart/radioshack/bestbuy and buy a pack, but the one I ordered had the highest reviews on Amazon . While I like seeing 100~ people give it 5 stars I still wonder why people would bother reviewing plastic film.
