Any hints/tips?

May 09, 2008, 09:39:01 PM »
So...i quit my job today because my boss threatened to fire me because "for the past six months i have make believed that I work....and i have never accomplished anything in my life". So, after reaching the breaking point I quit...and give me credit, i've put up with this every day for 2 and a half years....
So, I tell my mom...she's cool with it, she understands, yet at the same time doesnt want me to move out...which i understand...
But her boyfriend on the other hand....i ended up getting my car taken back, and my HOUSE KEY taken away. so After i leave to look for new jobs tomorrow I have no house. Nowhere to stay....not even income...
and im sure that 1,000 wont go far at all...
This is my dilemma, as im sure most dont care, but i would like some helpful hints.....
Any hints/tips to making it?

Exactly, It will suck, but you need to get away! You have to . You are a good person and have a good head on your shoulders as well, you will find your own way. Just keep the faith, this is a test remember? You will pass it !!! Where ever you have to go, just do it, it's summer , so you will be fine, don't eat bad food just to satisfy your hunger, eat apples, there cheap, no junk food !!! Keep your body healthy , and your mind will follow.
You have us, you always have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing "off topic" about one of our longtime members needing advice of this magnitude. Good luck to you. I have been in your shoes before with some more piled on top. All I can say is never let anyone else take your HAPPINESS from you. You need nothing to be happy, dont give anyone that power.. EVER. You will do fine. Get you a new job ASAP and work hard for what you want. Best of luck to you.

Walk into a place that needs help, ask politely for the manager and introduce yourself with confidence and with a firm handshake. Look him in the eye and tell him you WANT to work, you will work your ass off for him/her and that he will not be disappointed. Once you get hired work your ass off with a great attitude daily and you WILL move up, you WILL be rewarded.

What ever you do do not get to proud to take any job that will benefit you. Meanning I have known some who thought a job was beneath them. Success means being willing to do what ever it takes to get ahead.
I have even shoveled chicken S#!t for a buck before.
Best wishes bro.

You are welcome and you are right, we all start somewhere. And the VAST majority of us start below the bottom rung and hate it. The ones who keep site of what they want and work hard with a good attitude are the ones that go from janitor to CEO, the ones who dont are who serves your burger at 10 at night at age 45. You will do fine.... you will.

DAMN true. I think you know most of what we are telling you SST. You just need to know must of us have been there before. Dont feel alone.

I have been there, I won't bore you, but I have, I lost everything, and i mean I had what I wore, and 5 bucks ! Someone gave me 5 bucks. I didn't ask either. I walked to a job site got another job, and off i went !
You can too, if I can, thats for sure.
EDIT, granted this was 16 + years ago, and I never forget where i was.
