You've been quoted saying racist and homophobic things in this very thread. It's not a personal attack to judge the character of your posts on this board.

Okay, thanks. Happy Halloween. Have fun ruining someone else's thread.

You've succeeded in ruining all the fun here. Good job, have a good night.

Seriously? You think this is an appropriate way to address another human being?

And you're the one judging my character.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I said you’re a racist because you’ve said extremely racist things multiple times here. 

As for making fries, I don’t care what you do. But if I needed money as badly as you clearly do I’d be driving an Uber or stocking some shelves or hustling for something instead of complaining about it here.

What part are you not understanding that I've been working for the past two weeks and the payroll department screwed up my first paycheck?

The part where missing one piddly paycheck could hurt you. As a presumably young single guy with no kids you have a lot of free time to be making money and have enough money set aside to be able to surf past these minor annoyances.

I haven't worked since February. I only don't have money because I spent my last $1,100 to re-enroll in college. Had I not been working, I could have had $550 on unemployment thrown in my lap. If I request it now, it's technically fraud.

I just figured I would get paid on time, like every job I've ever had. I could get easily be sitting on my tush, smoking weed, and collecting unemployment.

But because my new employer screwed up, I'm a big idiot for going back to work and re-enrolling in college.

I can’t believe I am asking this but why haven’t you worked since February. 

 
See, here's the trick with unemployment, right. They give you x amount of funds per 365 days from where you apply.

So, you don't have to apply for them every week. You can, for instance, claim $550. Hit two bets in a row and double up to $2,000.

Then, live off that $2,000 and only take another $550 stipend when funds get low.

Sounds like that’s exactly what’s happened.

I believe Jesus is real and I believe you do indeed reap what you sow. So yes, I have earned this situation.

You have to be accountable for all facets for life. There's nothing more annoying than people who think,

WHEN I LOSE IT'S LUCK, WHEN I WIN IT'S SKILL

So... you were on unemployment, but you were gambling the unemployment money. That was your situation before all this happened. But it's not your fault you're broke, it's a combination of technicalities and bad luck. 

My lord you give us millenials a bad name by living down to all the stereotypes.

Being broke isn't the issue. The issue is not getting paid on time. I made every preparation of things within my control to not be broke. You get what I'm saying, right home skillet?

I'm drinking the 40 now. About 1/5 done with it now. Gotta get all loosey-goosey to dance at peak performance. Still debating if I want to paint some cat whiskers on my face and pretend to be a cat all night. Also, there are some decent stakes on this World Series game for me.

It's 11:11PM (make a wish) on the East Coast. If I get to the bar by Midnight, that gives me 2-hours of dance factory.

You realize you put yourself in a situation where missing one paycheck turned your whole life upside down, right?

Get out there.  The single and care-free days are not to be wasted.   They go by quickly.

Oh yeah, that's on me. At least on the flipside, when I do get paid I'll get two-paychecks within close proximity of each other. So that'll be fun. There's a ying to every yang.

I know man, it's so depressing. The only thing I like is the wisdom that comes from getting older. Life is a series of patterns. There are really only so many different situations and personality types to encounter.

Eventually you get to the point where it's like, "Wow, I know exactly what I'm supposed to do in this situation".

 
Maybe they already let you go, but no one told you.  And they made sure that no glitch will happen where you receive a paycheck that you shouldn't, meaning the problem will work itself out naturally.  Problem solved on their end. 

 
You know, Halloween is significantly less fun when you don't have a costume or money to buy shots.

This is dumb. Stupid call center ruining one of the few Halloween's under age 30 I have left.

You realize that every winning gambler in the wagering thread also has a job, right? I mean, it's possible to do both.

Serious questions here, because I think you need some sound advice.

How much money have you lost gambling since February?

Why didn't you have a job?

You know, it was baseball season, so it's hard to say. If I had to guess, I was probably break even or slightly down on MLB. I wasn't betting too heavy since I know it's not my best sport.

Unemployment only gives you about $3,000 of assistance before they cut you off. So that's your ceiling right there. Of course, I had about $1,500 in savings at that time which is now gone. Hard to say, specifically

I took 2 trips to Chicago and smoked a lot of weed. Took some classes, maybe had about $1300 in financial aid come through for summer classes.

I didn't have a job because I was fired from my sales job selling Erosion Pollution Prevention products at $14.50 an hour + commission. Products to keep job sites compliant with the Department of Transportation.

It was pretty easy, their website generated plenty of leads and if we were close enough in proximity to the client, it was easy to close a sale.

As far as why I left, I was promoted from Business Development to Sales over holiday break in December and when I returned to the office, our Sales Manager (the guy who hired me) committed suicide over the break.

So literally, my Sales Manager promoted me then killed himself over Christmas Break. New Sales Manager was a woman named Karen and we never saw eye-to-eye. I never received proper training but busted my ### to reach my sales goals two months in a row.

At the end of February, I was let go citing not being a good "fit" for the company. Which I totally understand, new managers want to bring in their people. The company had high turnover rates and I knew when Andy was gone, I was on borrowed time myself.

I was on salary at the time and working 60+ hours a week to maintain pace with the rest of the sales team. I stopped taking college classes because I was making more money than I had ever made in my life.

But when I was let go, I was burnt out. This was the second sales job (of 2 jobs I've had since moving to Florida) that chewed me up and spit me out. My other manager at an AT&T retail store was #### canned after 2 months of working with him and the new manager had me relocated, so I quit.

I didn't want the keep starting over, only to get fired over and over again. So I took a break. I decided, no more sales job, just finish school and get paid to be an accountant. Even if it's entry level work, get something with job security.

I was able to stretch the money I did have out up until a few weeks ago, when I was informed by my college in order to continue, I would need to pay off last semesters tuition in cash. I only owed them $1,100 but it was pretty much all I had left.

I have $5,000 coming to me in the form of financial aid and loans but those don't disperse until November 7th and I needed money, asap.

So I took the job at the Call Center I'm currently at. They only pay $11 an hour but they don't drug test and in conjunction with the $5,000 in financial aid I will be receiving shortly, will be more than enough to finish the final 6 classes required for my Bachelor's Degree (I graduate in May).

I know that's lengthy, but that should give you all the context you need.

*groans*

All you fast talkers make it sound so easy, lol. I normally dress up as a cat and take advantage of the fact that 30% or chicks dress up as cats.

It's built in small talk. Many will approach you, take pictures, and you can keep pawing at random chicks until you find one that reciprocates the nonsense with you.

Wasn't about to commit petty theft by stealing a $0.99 cent tube of black paint though, lol.

Have you considered kidnapping a well-known general manager of a sportsbook in Costa Rica? Seems like a pretty easy way to make a cool mil.

He's saying he's living paycheck to paycheck and needs the money now because he has little-to-no savings. It's a bad Friday thread, but which of those are actually good around here?  I keep hearing about Friday threads and have to go back to Man In The Yellow Hat and Saints-Man to find one.

So really the best advice I've seen in here is to encourage him to gamble.
