Aww that sucks Raven! Have you got other job interviews lined up? <3

And omg did you update your quest!

@ Raven: Don't give up hope! New jobs are posted all the time, so don't feel like you need to settle for the first callback either.

*pokes Greed*

It's alot harder when you live in a tiny town. not much roll over for jobs. D; Still no job and no interviews lined up either.

I did update it from 100k to 222k xD I think it's probably unreachable but hey it's called a goal. xD

Aww shucks! Sorry to hear that Veno. No chance of a farther commute? ):

Now that's you've made it a goal you HAVE to reach it.

xD I'm going to try to get to 222k
I'm super excited about it. Lol

>.< The stress of not having a job is weighing on me and my girl it sucks.

And nah the commute to go farther (would be nearly and hr and a half) would take 110 outta my check every week. My car gets pretty good gas mileage but still >.< Plus my car can't take all those extra miles.

you can do it

Thanks. ^^ *nuddles thread a little*

whew I miss y'all.

Love the avatar, Veno.
Are you looking online or in person? Also, you can try searching at the job center at your local community college for exclusive postings. D:

>.> there really isn't a community college. It's like almost a 90 minute drive. <.< It super sucks. I have never felt so useless and aggravated with job hunting as I have here lately because I live in the middle of nowhere Dx At least at our old house it was WAY closer to town. (About 5-10 minute drive instead of 35-45) so now it's like fudge I can't look too far because my car is dependable but it doesn't need a ton of miles added to it either. It's already edging up on 249,000 miles D; It's an '01 stang so I know how to work on it and everything but still. I'm trying to get into the mechanic course at the tech school in town to get small engine repair certification and then take their engine and transmission repair course. :P I know a good bit already but it's hard to get in. Lol alot of people try but classes fill up QUICK.

I'm online and in person trying to find jobs, but when you live in the boonies, it's hard.

@ Veno: Holy smokes. I have learned the never underestimate how booney the boonies can get. I hope you can get into the classes! It will give you something to do while job hunting, so not all your time is wasted. </3 ;_;

I'm trying to get into the classes that's for sure. They only take 60 people when they do the classes. >.< I've got my papers in, now it's just waiting. Still no luck with jobs though. It's getting to the point it's really putting strain on our relationship, and my parents wont help with bills unless I move back home *which even though I don't want to leave my gf is the best life choice for me to make, but it's love over making my life better* I just dont' even know what in the world to do right now. Dx

D8 No way! Don't move back in unless you absolutely have to! Well, it might end up being the safest choice in the long run, cause it's a big risk to stay with your gf while you can't pay bills atm. >_<

She's already having to ask her parents for help with bills...and they wont help with mine. My gf wants to help but she can't. She could move down there with me (my parents have a 2nd house they would let us use just pay the light and water) its just alot going on right now...

That would help relieve some of the pressure, but what about your current house? D:

Well if my gf would ever think of moving, we could sell this house. But she will never move away from them. And now I'm trying to just stay afloat and work this out with us. I told her I would stay and hopefully find a job, but if I can't find a job within the next month I'm screwed. >.< I have like 1200$ in bills due between the two months and I can't just ask people for that money. My parents wont help unless I move back because they think moving back home will be best. I can take the classes I want with school, I can work for them (they have their own business) and so could my gf and I would have cars and just ugh. She wont move though. It's getting down to the fact of if I stay here I'll be in severe debt and that scares the living shit out of me.

I don't think she realizes the severity of the situation. It seems like an easy fix that would take a lot of pressure off you. D:

Miss you guys!

Hey Veno that sounds so hectic, I hope you find a job or your gf empathises. It must be so stressful. :\ Would renting out the house instead of selling help at all? Because then the house would still be there for you when you want it.

How/when are your exams Risque? ;o And when do you finish this semester? :D

I miss you guys too! Real life has actually given me Mene time >.< Though as much as I enjoy it, still not what I had in mind. LOL

It is a simple and easy fix, we could even rent this house out now. But she doesn't realize the fact that unless I find a job soon, or she's willing to bend with me, I'm going to have to completely pack up my things and move back home. It's either she goes or she stays. I've got a couple interviews this week and we're trying to get me on out at her work. It'll be temporary work but it's at least 6 months of work so that's good. It's wearing on me which sucks. My parents wont help unless I move back home because they know that it's best for me either way if I can't find a job. It's her choice then whether she wants to stay here and be without me, or go with me. I mean it would take a couple of weeks before she could join me because of the paperwork and everything, but still...
I don't see her making that jump. She doesn't want to leave the "nest" As much as I love her with all my being, I can't choose this town and her over making my life better. I know that probably sounds pretty crappy of me, but I've bent for 3 years for her, giving up holidays with my family and all sorts of events they have and if she can't do this for me, well that to me shows how much she cares/thinks of me. I think it's fair. Especially since it'll solve most of our problems.

Hope all is well with you two. <3 Good luck in real life and those exams ;D

My semester doesn't end until mid-June, so I will be busy for a long while. I have this research paper to do, and the first draft is due next Thursday, but I really don't want to work on it, and I think I trapped myself into writing a crappy paper because I thought I would be a super special snowflake and pick a topic that requires a lot of research and interpretation.
Why didn't I just write a boring paper on global warming, or drugs?

When are you done, Greed? We miss you~!

@ Veno: Haha, I do admit that it's nice to have you around so much, but not so much at the expense of your career and relationship.
I agree with you though, you've given up a lot, and moving to the country is no easy task, and the upkeep is very demanding for a house like that. What kind of solution does she have in mind? Is she betting on you being able to find a job before your savings run out? D:

I didn't have savings...I'm literally flat broke. I have contacted my bank and my loands/credit cards and furniture place but the furniture place wont work with me...so I had to ask my parents to pay it for this month. I've been paying double the minimum payment...I just asked them to pay the minimum until I can get a job, or move home and get a job(pay them back) I don't wan them to help me more than they have to. I know they monetarily can, but that's not the point.
She only has the solution that "It'll all work out and be okay" >.< I talked with last night and she is not willing to put the house up for rent and transfer to the plant in Florida and move down there with me. So I told her unless I can find a job (and not just some shotty 10 hour a week part time job) I'm going back to my parents. I'm not breaking up with her, but I am going to have no other choice and the ball is in her court. Sometimes you just have to do what is best for yourself, not just as a couple. It's give and take and it's suppose to be a compromise on both parts. I've got one life to live, and it's not right to have someone hold me back.

ANYWAYS. >.< I've got a couple of interviews this week. Next week is my last week here unless I get these jobs or something else happens next week. My parents even have made plans for next weekend to come and get me/my things if everything doesn't work out. It kinda makes me really upset that my girlfriend is choosing her hometown over a better life/me. I mean I can kinda understand but not really at the same time. I jumped to here after only knowing her a few months and left everythign I knew. She's been moping around and being all ill/upset with me. It's not my fault. Things happen. She needs to learn that. She's older than me by quite a couple years.

Awww, Veno. Hope things work out. Even if you mange to find a job, I hope that your GF's will work on her stubborness. ):

xD Thanks. I'm sure trying to get that donkey outta her.
She's stubborn and can be an ass. :P

Hope all is well with you

Yepyep, just majorly procrastinating on a research paper over on my end. :D

Oh my word! Risque!! You look fabulous!!!

Haha. Is that a Veno-approved color scheme I got going on? ^^
