Sign in to disble this ad
I turned 18 not too long ago. I haven't had a job for a while, but I've been looking for the last three months. It's especially hard to find a job here, because most of the economy is fueled by a fort that provides about 90% of the town's population.
I still live with my mom, and lately she decided that I'm just not trying to find a job. So what does she do? She stopped having food in the house, and only gives me food once a day. I have no option but to accept this, because I have no money at all.
So, two days ago I ate at about 7 o'clock. Yesterday, my mom got off of work at 7:30. Eating only one meal a day means I'm used to it, but by nine I couldn't stand not having eaten for over 26 hours. I called her, and asked her when she would be home. Her reply? "You need to stop bothering me, this is my time." I asked again if she knew when she'd be home, and she hung up. When she got home she told me I need to stop acting like a spoiled brat.
I always thought spoiled kids had everything they needed and wouldn't accept not having things that they wanted and didn't need. I'm pretty sure I need food, but am I wrong about this? How long should I wait for food because I'm apparently not trying to find a job?

And, also if you are bored > you have no job, therefore you must be bored.

My sympathies for you my friend. I hope you can find a job and get the hell out of your house so you can decide what to do and when to do it. |

| Lower your sights. Take any old job so you have some sort of income coming in. Then continue to look for something more desirable.
Also, consider how you present yourself during applications/interviews.

Then go support your own ass. You might have to sleep in the park for a couple nights, but that's the price you have to pay for being a lazy ass for two years. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
