We'll see. SO YEAH there is where I have been for like a month thanks I will try to poke around more often (or you can quietly stalk me on twitter I honestly do not care).

I... HATE... THE PROBOARDS UPDATE... it's become troublesome for me to travel through forums, everything is linked and I've got sites I would have rather had separated now integrated into this account. Pretty much this ^ Proboards decided it would be a great idea to streamline everything, while it's nice that I now have only one account to manage things... I actually preferred it to be a collection of multiples because I didn't want everything connected. I'm still on my brother's hand me down ancient desktop, still jobless so I can't afford my more recent tastes in terms of tech... and I'm surfing around the web just trying to keep myself from going insane from my dad's ignorance of the modern world and his belief that I should have had a job interview because I have a "clean slate". If I ever get a decent computer or even find a way to make the current POS I'm on work more efficiently, I'll stream a Katawa Shoujo Let's Play... if I can afford a decent mic. (Livestream seemed to work okay for me)

The site change is a little baffling, but I suppose I'll grow used to it in time. S'not like any amount of bitching and moaning will get them to change it, right? I'm still on my brother's hand me down ancient desktop, still jobless so I can't afford my more recent tastes in terms of tech... and I'm surfing around the web just trying to keep myself from going insane from my dad's ignorance of the modern world and his belief that I should have had a job interview because I have a "clean slate". I'm still as jobless, too, but I've started selling my soul art abilities on fiverr to earn at least some money, which is better than nothing, even if I am working for barely a couple of dollars an hour on average. Point is, it's not like I have much else to do with my time anyway inbetween sending out my resume, so I might as well earn some cash while I'm doing nothing. Maybe you could try offering writing gigs on there?

It was never really a "job"... the convention does not recognize me as an "employee" despite me being on a manifest with the rest of the named staff with positions higher than "lieutenant manager" (I'm the info desk manager officially now), only the executives and the directors get paid (I'm a step below that) and there is no real guaranteed job security if I don't play into the chairman's hands (ie: I need to be a personal friend of his or just someone he trusts). Legally, I'm still a volunteer anyway because despite the convention making money... I only get paid under the table (if at all, the chairman calls it a "bonus" and it's usually some scab wage of like a 60 dollar check and I won't go into details) in order for it to not be taxed. I'm using the "volunteer" status to my advantage though, it looks good on a resume so I've been using that experience to try and boost myself to a real job...
I've tried fiverr... no hits so far, I'm treating it the same way my failure with ChaCha occurred. Unless I somehow become a sexy woman or somewhat of a desirable man, I don't think I'll be getting anywhere with internet business ventures...

I suppose the trick with fiverr is the gigs you can offer. People make killings on there doing SEO writing. You can try mucking around on content writing sites too - I'm on writer's domain, but that's going through a massive overhaul (which will apparently lead to $20 an article, I'm so game). Basically, I've just gotten desperate and have started doing all sorts of ridiculous online gigs to start earning something.
Hard knocks in this economy, eh?
(by the way, the whole "write erotica and sell it on amazon kindle store" thing is like, way steep learning curve; I think I've made like 2 sales since last July? shit)

I cannot write erotica for strangers... I mean it's one thing for friends or people on a forum. I sent in an application to Cracked.com, I do not think I stand a chance at writing comedy either

Cracked is notoriously tough to get into writing for, so good luck on that. I'm settling for the drone content writing because, although it's tedious and boring as hell, it does give relatively constant money.

I'd imagine anywhere that gets the traffic that they do would be hard to write for... a lot of the stuff that gets contributed is by professionals who have been in the business for years, hell Seanbaby alone has been someone I used to follow during the old EGM days.
I'll keep sending out apps though, I might actually have a job at a nearby Sonic Restaurant if the manager is the same guy who I just talked to today...

I'm not guaranteed the job just yet... my application is in but I'm not sure if the man I spoke with is still the manager of that particular location, I had heard he was getting transferred somewhere further and I can't really follow him if that is the case. The location near my house is really hard to get hired at I noticed as well. (this would be my twentieth time applying in the past six months)

I love how low-end jobs are even a pain in the ass to get these days, and even harder to keep since, you know, there are literally hundreds of others out there who can take your place if you fuck up.
Thanks, economy.
Good luck on that, though.

even if it is not the outcome I desire, any good news would be better than the the bottom I'd hit recently...
