sucks. I haven't worked full time since november. Hoping to land a new job in the next couple of weeks though.

I'm sure things will work out, but it does suck that you wont get to keep yr apartment. Is yr rent higher than just her wage or?

Well even if she could pay rent by herself, we'd hardly have money for food - let alone gas, or smokes (both cigarettes and weed are considered necessities in this home).

If necessary, I'm sure we might be able to pull it off...but I'd feel extremely guilty. But that guilt would sure as hell beat the embarrassment, and agony of having to move back into such tense households again.

...what are your gf's thoughts about all this?


BTW, I publicly apologize for telling you to fuck off that one time. It was my meds.

She agrees that I should work as hard as I can on shooting my short film, as well as finding a job this month. Neither of us are necessarily getting our hopes up.

My best friend (his mom is our landlord) is so ecstatic about us living in his basement apartment that he has been most supportive of all. He keeps reminding me that if I assume that I won't find a job (after all, it is Michigan)...I won't go into the hunt with the right mentality or energy.

This apartment is the perfect location for my short. I don't want to waste all my time looking for a job, not find one, then lose both my home and shooting location before the film is finished. But then again, if I don't look hard enough...I might not find a job.

fuck man. flux is where shit HAPPENS though. make the best of it.

I'm sorry that you lost your job. :( I hope you can get a new one soon.

Never ever admit to being fired or terminated unless laid off. You "separated due to management differences" or "personality conflicts" but you have to have a good conflict, like you were get irritated because some of your coworkers weren't cleaning up like they should, or something that makes you look diligent. If yr in MICH you get unemployment right? And sign up for foodstamps right away. Back in the 90's when I got canned the month between work and foodstamps was viewed as zero income so I got a bunch of foodstamps. I felt no guilt, I have been paying into that system since I was 12.

I have an interview at Cheeburger Cheeburger tomorrow at 3pm.



I'm stoked.

...give em hell, Doc!

Well Dr. Eugene, I'm gonna take the advice I gave you earlier in the thread and am heading off for HAWAII !!!

I leave the 18th of this month.

I'll post pictures sometime after I get there. I'll be ontop of a mountain an old Hawaiian family has in trust MILES from the bustling civilization of the lower elevations.

Good luck with your film projects, girlfriend and place to stay !


Book 'em Danno !!!

That sounds quite exhilarating.
I wish you the best of luck, as well! :)

Sucks that you are in michigan.

Cheeburger Cheeburger called me back for an orientation tomorrow at 2:30. They told me to bring a copy of my driver's license, and my soc security card - they want me to be a busser.

I couldn't be happier! :)

Now, I only hope that I'll get enough hours to be able to pay rent/support myself.

Wow. It's 2:45 here in Michigan. Got my fingers crossed for ya!!

good luck!

Didja get your busser job ? Hope so !!

I'm in HAWAII now !!! I got here a couple of days ago and it's fantastic ! Already been surfing twice and it's so cool up here at nearly 3,000 feet ! Easily 10 degrees cooler than down below at any given time..like mid 70s during the day (85 at sealevel) and near 60 at night !! Woohooo !!!

I'll post some pics as promised sometime soon ! :D

Yeah, where you at Dr. Eugene?

Hey man -

If you seriously don't want to move out of yr apt, you can try searching for odd jobs on craigslist. Things will be tight but if you respond to enough you probably will be able to stay (that is, if yr rent is affordable enough)
