redkow97 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 you've got 2 bikes under your screen name. One of them should tide you over for the next few months. And the lack of insurance is one less expense.otherwise, get your resume out to everyone who will take it. even a fast-food job is better than no job at all.

Steve Butters Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 seems like you need to make some cut backs...im in the same boat with not having any money and having bills and stuff due...i just cancelled my bike insurance policy today to cut back...i pay a lot for insurance because of some dumb shit i did when i was 17-18, so im sitting it out for the rest of the year and hoping to be back on 2 wheels next yearyou need to prioritize man, and say a prayer. God will provide if you believe, no matter how much im coming up short, i have faith it will work out and it does...unexpected income, smaller bills for a given month, finding 10 bucks on the sidewalk...whatever it may beeasiest way to have more money, is to make cut backs and start saving more...between my fiance, my truck, insurance, phone, and shitty paying job...ive had to cut back, you should be doing the same....and if you have two bikes, you really dont need both...may want to consider selling one of them till youre on your feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 In the posters defense, I think we would all look for jobs before starting to sell off our possessions so cut him some slack. If I lost my job, selling my possessions for income would be a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Like I said, if this just happened then I would say time to look for a job makes sense. If he is truly broke and has no money for bills then its definitely time to sell some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachi1189 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I can't sell either one of the bikes, they aren't titled under me. (well I can sell them but I wouldn't be the one getting the cash)I don't have any toys to really give away myself, so it's all down to basic necessities, I've already cut the cable out and I just have internet, rent, electric, gas, and food.I'm trying to cut back on food but I'm just really bad at that, nonetheless I'm still trying.Skills...umm...I've worked a lot in Customer Service type fields, I used to work at the Magic Mountain at Polaris and basically moved up from one of those redemption kids to becoming a pit chief and running the go karts. I worked at a liquor store for a short while as a cashier. I worked as an Usher at the Schottenstein center for a period and finally I worked as a Java Consultant for the Computer Science and Engineering department at OSU. Most of the jobs I have held have been seasonal, except the OSU one.Right now I am looking for anything, full time or part time and I plan on working for at least the next 6 months so not really seasonal.I've worked in teams, I'm nice, friendly, I get shit done, and I treat a job like what it is, a job, not a place to dick around, unless of course I am aloud to dick around...I'm just saying I take work seriously but not too seriously, if that makes any sense...Can't really think of anything else to put down, if anyone wants to check out my resume, I can put that up too.

Restlesswildman Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 You know what......I worked full time, went to night college 3 nights a week, bowled in 2 leagues and was a single Dad. I did not set foot in my garage for 3-5 yrs, buy anything but books, pay the bills and groceries for the family. Dude your single right? If not get rid of the GF and sell everything you can, bikes included and find a cheaper place to stay. Find the nearest blood center and sell your plasma... The blood centers pay well for that!Life isn't a picnic or fair! Adapt and conquer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsuMj Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 have you seen the plasma center on campus? there is no way i would step foot in one of those places and let them recycle my blood back into me.... i would rather eat ramen every day for a year. However, my friend did make like $40 every time he went... that was his drinking money UPS is hiring individuals to work as part-time Package Handlers.

chachi1189 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 They are under my father's name. I'm selling them for him.He gave me bikes as presents but, being strict as they are they left everything in their name so that he can take away the bikes whenever he wants.I'll check out OSU medical center and Riverside and see what I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 you can always try working for CABS, it was worked well for me thus far. You might be able to sell your sperm and make a little extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restlesswildman Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Walked to school and work...in the snow...uphill...both ways? Actually I did when I was 6-8 and it was down hill on the way home! We lived less than a mile from school. My point is that he has to figure out what the basics are and sacrifice to get where he needs to go. I went back to night college when I was 29. I had a family and other life interests. I sacrificed things to get the education that I wanted. Priorities have to be organized to accomplish what you want in life. Hard to do when your young. Some understand and most don't. Hell even at my age it is hard to sacrifice. The only thing that keeps me in line at times is my wife and her rolling pin! BTW I am not that old as the the first sentence makes me sound!

kitani2126 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Put your resume on Monster.com, check out Craigslist and other job boards. I lost my job and then got hired at HHgregg in Easton after checking out the job board here on OR. The best advice I can give as someone who has a lot of different experience put your resume out there and apply for everything and anything. There are jobs to be had you just have to look for them and remember that when you start a new job you will make less than you want but can move up the pay scale. a job is a job and if you are totally broke anything is better than nothing.

redrocket04 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Don't worry about it, chachi. You're what, 21 years old? You shouldn't be expected to make six figures at that age, and you shouldn't have to explain yourself to a douchebag. Some people just want to argue and feel better about themselves for making more money than a fucking college student. Not many bragging rights, but it makes his penis a full 2" longer.
