Well, not compared to NY cold though right? Either way, you're going to be just fine.

There's no shame in returning to family when one needs help.

We all make retarded decisions, that's why we are here. That, and cause there is nothing better to do. I digress...

Yeah, I have had that thing. In retrospect, I believe they call that being stubborn.

If the stars are in alignment, and the universe has a message for you, I suspect you will hear it multiple times. The wise person can discern whether the message is relevant or not, whereas the fool might ignore it.

I have something that keeps pestering me. I ignore it because I am stubborn, and desire gratification - yet I always pay the piper - and when I do, I think to myself - "I told you so". Paradoxes FTW!

Get out there and work. Not just for the money, but because maybe the cosmos will align, and you will be offered another job of a different variety. You never know, but you can't win if you don't play.

If you are disabled in any way, it is that you gave up on yourself, and have resigned yourself to viewing yourself as flawed. We make flawed decisions, but we are perfect diamonds.

That's very reassuring, why thanks.  :smile:

Maybe that's why I start threads like this.  So that people can tell me how fine I'm going to be.

That's what it seems like.  If I'm not grooming dogs and making commission off them, they pay me $8 to sit on my ass and clean.  I didn't know business was THAT dead when I was hired as they made me believe I'd be making big monies.  Fuck that.  I'd rather be in a place where I can make money off my hard-won skill, rather then be cleaning crew for a lame corporate chain petstore.




$8/hour is better than 0.  I'd take a job right now for $8/hour to clean :shrug:

Sorry your situation is so rough right now, MOTH.  If you weren't so far away I'd offer to let you crash with me for awhile.

That's very nice of you, CV.  However it feels like people helping me is what got me into a position where I feel incapable of helping myself.  I feel like I'm falling off the face of the Earth, nothing stopping me. 

I wouldn't be able to support myself up here on $8 an hour.  I was barely able to on $10.  (quit that job for this job because I thought I'd be raking in the commission/money) I guess my time in life is worth more to me then $8 an hour, as retardedly arrogant as that sounds.  You never know how much time you have left. 

Anyway, see everyone around the bend.  I'm going to go do something else.

What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't than nothing in this world makes any sense to me; I'm fucked. Maybe I should quit. Don't quit. Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don't fucking quit. Just, I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do anymore. Fucker. Fuck. Shit.

How many days have you been working there? Maybe you just caught a few slow ones?

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Just noticed she said she started yesterday.

Give it at least 2 weeks, MOTH.  Commission jobs often have slow spells.  See if it was just an off day :thumbup:

That's what I was thinking - maybe they're busier on weekends and whatnot?  That's what I would think.  What does the other groomer say in terms of how busy is "typical"?  I would give it a bit before jumping ship and see what happens.

Man, what movie is that? I know I recognize it. "The African guy is a sign, right?" That part really stuck out.

Oh, it's huckabees. Yeah, that movie kicked some ass in a completely off-kilter kind of way. I remember I had to "adjust" during the first 10 minutes, because it felt like I was watching a play or something. After that, it was gravy.

Update:

Well I quit - didn't call, didn't show up.  Just stopped going.  I focused on sleeping and getting drunk/high

I've been getting phonecalls from Amanda, the manager about 10 times a day, for more then a week.  I just kept avoiding her calls

even though I sometimes though, "Damn, maybe I should pick up the phone and explain my situation..." (which is that I was severely depressed)

Then the police showed up at my door one night - they said that my manager called them to check me out and make sure I was okay -

She kept calling and I kept avoiding...until I thought, "maybe there is a REASON why the Universe is being so persistent about this job - through my manager."

So I called her and left a message that went something like this:

"Hey Amanda, it's me; I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay, just super-depressed and freaking out about life.  My grandmother is in the hospital and my divorce is weighing on my mind.  I feel shitty all the time and sad.  I'm messed up.  Sorry for not letting you know, bye." 

Well, she called me back just a few moments ago: we talked, and I still have the job!!  :shocked:  The best thing is that I don't have to start until November 7th, so I have a bit of time to relax and get my shit together. 

I'm not sure what to make of it.  I'll still look around for work before then, in the meantime, but I'm a little flabberghasted how well she took my bullshit.

It makes me a little suspicious...I've never had a manager REALLY REALLY REALLY want me for a job and go out of her way to keep me...

Anyway - I don't really care anymore - I know I need to work to survive - so...yeah - maybe the job will turn out better then I expected.
