Meltdown

[snyprrr]

Yea, well I'm now officially homesless AND unemployed. So why am I at the library acting like I have the luxury of posting on a forum?


But, yea, no meltdown happening anywhere else, just here. Yea, oh boy am I looking forward to the coming years, yay!


Is everyone loving obamacare yet?? Apparently it's not 'Meltdown' worthy.


Frankly, I'm in my 'Why don't you all just go and die' moods lately... like... all the time now. Seriously, don't flipping teach me to fish- just give me a flippin fish already. I'm sorry, just bitter.

Is there ONE person on the forum who is as poor and miserable as this one here?? Anyone I can relate to?? Do you know what it's like to even KNOW what classical music is and to live like a street bum??? I mean, it's ridiculous.


Seriously, I have never had esteen issues or wanted to 'hurt' myself or anything, but I can see how, logically, one might want to just leave this planet. I can't. I HAVE to wake up everyday. If I knew I was never going to have sex again, well, I tell ya, ..... aye aye aye


Remember, in my book George Bush is a Liberal. So, you can see my problem with people in general. I mean, just listen to how simpering Jeb Bush sounds- he's just a total globalist loser no different than Schumer or anyone. You people who believe this hegelian Dialectic - I don't even know if you're human - golems all!!!!


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........


1) They made cars you can't work on.

2) They put soy an' shit in all your food.

3) They printed free money for the banks so they could buy your mortgage with the same free money they didn't give you.

3) Now you haaaave to buy insurance or you're a crimminal in your own country.

4) Limbaugh leaves facts out just like Maher leaves out facts. Everyone's a liberal.

5) If you're not a liberal, you're a war mongering israeli-firster (HOW MANY countries has Iran invaded since 1979???). Again, how many congress people have dual citizenship with palest-I mean israel???

6) If I hear anyone else say "Just get a..." I'm going to scream, you old economy Steven (look up the 'Old Economy Steven' meme). Yea, I remember when I could quit one job and get another one on the way home,... yea, that was called the '80s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7) EVERYTHING has soy in it. Chocolate-wtf? banana chips, tuna fish (you know you know)

Food is flipping expensive. Have you ever tried buying a salad piecemeal???


I'm practically praying for a massive heart attack or something. I hate this planet.




Oh uh, it  looks like library security is coming.......

[Parsifal]

How did you end up homeless?  From your previous contribution I was under the impression you were living with relatives

[Karl Henning]

. . . Have you ever tried buying a salad piecemeal???

Well, a head of Boston red lettuce isn't all that pricey.

The salad I make most often is diced cucumber, diced tomato (needn't be the costliest), diced red onion (all right, it's a lot of dicing, but you've got some time, right?), olive oil, apple cider vinegar.  It's a dish whose expense doesn't flip all that much, I think . . . .

[Karl Henning]

You're in the library? Don't eat the books, snypsss! Put 'em down!

[Brian]

snyprrr, I posted for several years on GMG while working as a cashier at a Walmart. One of our other forum members has experience at Walmart, too. It's not the easy life, but it's a job, and just about anybody can do something at a store like that. Or try Costco, the pay's about double.

I don't know what your skills are, who you are, what jobs you've worked, but there's something for you out there. And I don't mean black helicopters! But they're waiting for you too

[ibanezmonster]

Costco would be much more ideal. You can actually live off what they pay you without relying on guh'ermeyn' welfare...

[Daverz]

Yea, well I'm now officially homesless AND unemployed. So why am I at the library acting like I have the luxury of posting on a forum?

I'm really saddened to hear this.  I hope you can find decent shelter soon.

[Karl Henning]

I'm not so sad to hear that he is in the library. (j/k)

Hope you have good news soon, O snypsss.

[The new erato]

I'm really saddened to hear this.  I hope you can find decent shelter soon.

Me too. Best of luck.

[milk]

I also feel bad to hear of your hard times.

[North Star]

Good luck, snyprrrr! Meanwhile, enjoy the library!

However beware of Conan the Librarian.

I turned down the gorilla mask job at the local haunted house, but now I wish I would have stayed. See, I haven't been making very good decisions. And then the carwash lady would have given me a job, but I was honest and said I would be looking for other work whilst there, and of course she wanted someone who would stay (I'm holding out, but if it comes to it, I'll approach her again).

I haaave been applying at the big grocery stores and this and that. Apparently, the fried fish shack is always hiring... and I was looking into another old restaurant.


PEOPLE- I spent my whole life being 'cool', and wake up a bum- fuuuu, I have a Mass Comm degree- from BEFORE the tech boom- I don't know shiiiiiiiiit about this new world, and frankly feel like someone in a Pekinpah oldtimer-can't-keep-up-with-the-new-times, and who wants to, anyway? ugh

Fuuuu... I almost wish I never picked up a guitar, or wrote, or drew, or came up with ideas.... but that's the part of me that keeps me from being in the news badly. God, I was lied to in school... ugh, no one could tell me anything when I was a young stud.

YOU COULD QUIT YOUR JOB AND HAVE A CHOICE OF THREE ON THE WAY HOME.

No wonder i took life like a breeze. And this went on until 2008. For the last five years, since I lost my job in 2008, it just seems like if-Kubrick-directed-Soylent-Green. No?

SHOULD JP MORGAN BE PUNISHED FOR BEAR STEARNS?




Anyhow, I digest... I mean, I digress...



I live in a state that promotes a fear of success (not telling). I just applied for food stamps. I stopped by unemployment to just talk to someone, and I left there really wondering statistically how many people succeed through their program.


I mean, I am ONLY 'disabled' in that I live in a world gone mad for welfare, where standing up for your success is punished. My friend has a business, and his health plan just got cancelled. It's not me I kvetch about- there are others more noble than me who are suffering surely much worse than me.

My other friend, after a year and a half after being IT laid-off, got a job contracting for the state (and he says their effeciancy is NOT, but if you fix their problems- YOU MAKE THE SLACKERS LOOK BAD- which means their boss looks bad, which means you're on the shit list.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



WHO IS THE MOST RUGGED INDIVIDUALIST ON GMG?




People say, "No one will give you anything." But, ultimately, someone has to GIVE you a job, or what not.

People say, "JUST get a job and move out." I live in defence-contractor/real-estate/gubmint HEAVEN, so it's expensive here. You need $12.50/40hrs. JUST TO MAKE BANK. Rent here is astronomical and will only go higher. My old roomie has $1300 a month, and that's the best you're going to get around here (it was about $900 before 2008).



Well, I have to go apply at Guitar Bazaar.

[snyprrr]

Oh, and thanks to everyone for what appears to be sincere concern. I am touched guys.

[Karl Henning]

Maybe they need help at the soy lecithin processing facility....

[Todd]

What's all this griping about a meltdown?  Times are flush.


(The SEC, which is in no way a paper tiger, has come up with a real solid plan for those who think top dogs get too many bones.)

The notion that being creative somehow exempts you from the need to do something to put food on the table seems to be a sticking point.  Even in the good old days, artists had to make provision to feed and shelter themselves before doing their "art."  That's not Barack Obama's doing.

Now that you've lost your grip on the middle class existance and slid to the bottom of the economic heirarchy you will have to learn from those who find themselves in similar economic difficulties, many of which are Latin American immigrants.  You have advantages over many of them, you are documented, speak read and write English (after a fashion).  They have one big advantage over you.  They know how to work, really work.  And they don't consider anything that will put food on the table and a roof over their heads to be beneath their dignity.  You will have to learn that.

[Octave]

snyprrr, I hope things shape up soon.  Courage!

I was raised by nannies. Cut me some slack!

Seriously, though, I realize that being brought up a spoiled bratm doesn't help me break my back. The fact is is that at any given job I've ever taken, I always rise to the top because of my exceptional abilities, but then when the time comes for them to put their money where their mouth is ("Oh, you're doing suuuch a great job"), I end up getting f'd by the same people who lauded me. So, then, naturally, I shrink...

Anyway, I certainly don't like being compared to messicans. I'm not catholic, don't breed like a rabbit, and don't invade other peoples' sovern nation.

I haaave learned that I certainly can't speak like this without due reproof. WHERE IS my genetic "protestant work ethic", what happened to it? Let me make an analogy to an Alcoholics Anonymous principle: they say that you get sober so that you can be a "useful member of society" again, but, at this time, I would rather be a HINDRANCE to modren society rather than to 'progress' it. I'd rather be Robert DeNiro in 'Brazil' right now than some 'Dream Activist". WESTERN CIV IS NOW DONE, and we are beginning to head into The New Fuedalism. I'd be interested to see how many GMG'ers lose their middle-class staus in the next decade, through no fault of their own (unlike me).

Where do you get paid for whining?

At what point do YOU take "any" job? Surely you'd hold out for the full-time, well paying job for as long as possible before you'd don the uniform of the Retailnation?

So, if I believe McDonald's sells POISON, I still have to work there gladly because there are no scruples in the NewEconomy?

Does only Jaime Dimon get FREE MONEY to buy our defaulted mortgages?


I should be on the lecture circuit, haha.


Anyhow, I know I'm a pill. Just wish I could make a living being a dick! I do know how to yell at people.

And, I'll put it this way. I told the nice lady at the carwash (who would've hired me) that I would be still searching for work even if she hired me. But, she wanted someone to stay, so, what was supposed to do, fuck over this lady and find a better job in  a couple of months? So, I mean, sometimes it just sounds like cutthroat to be taking any job for any reason, fucking people over at every turn just to advance yourself.

Or am I SUPPOSED to live life like a mongoose? Really, is this just the Hegelian "either Government or Industry" albatross? (hey, that almost makes a rhyme!)


I LIKE to 'work', to be of use, to astound with ability.


Here's a fear:

They make you clean the toilet, and you do such a good job that they say, 'We'll let you clean the toilets all the time because you're so good at it.' Or, you do such a bad job that they say, 'You need to keep cleaning the toilets until you do a better job.'

So, there's the catch-22 fear.




I mean, the Beatles had brian Epstein,... why don't i get my 'other half'? I have to be CreativeDirector AAAAAND BusinessDirector???



Ah, with every rant I dig a deeper GMG hole, don't I?


And I did apply at GuitarBazaar.

[Karl Henning]

And I did apply at GuitarBazaar.

Is that the place with the gorilla outfit?
