Set a new record today. 2 hours online, less than 10 members in my room 90% of that time, and I made no tips. And of course I need the money more than ever. It is so hard to keep my head up right now.

I just think it's funny that this same bitch who told my neighbor her 15-year old daughter shouldn't be around me because of what I do (I was the only person this poor girl could talk to...me and her therapist) is now trying to invite me and my son to her kids' birthday party. HAHA. I think she's a bit nutty too. She teaches her kids that it's wrong to use the phrase "Black people," and that you should call them "chocolate people" instead. Um...WTF?
Ain't nobody got money for all these God damned birthday parties anyway. Every time you turn around, it's one. And Christmas ain't that far away either. My bank account is in the negative. Fuck all these birthday parties...

There are two places I'm considering for employment.
Job A: When I called the other day to ask if they're hiring, the director sounded thrilled to be hearing from me since she needs to hire new people. I have an interview there today, and it's a short bus ride away. But on the rare occasion when the bus isn't running, walking there would probably take about 40 minutes. :(
Job B: Also hiring. I dropped off the application just now, and they plan to call me on Monday to set up an interview. This place is within walking distance, so I wouldn't have to take a bus there. Super convenient.
The problem is that there's a chance that Job A (who I'm interviewing with today) will hire me on the spot. If I told them "Can I let you know in a few days?," would that be bad, and they'd lose interest quickly? I'd just hate to accept, and then later find out that Job B (the more convenient one) wants to hire me too.

You should still look into RatRaceRebellion because they have lots of available opportunities on there. You may quality for more of them than I do. Half their jobs require a bunch of shit I don't have: a landline phone for calls, certain kind of headset equipment, availability to do a mandatory training for like 2-weeks straight from __ AM to __ PM. Yeah, that's not gonna work when I'm a single parent who has to take my son to Tae Kwon Do twice a week in the afternoon (having to be there by 5:30 PM). And the requirement of 'needing to have a separate, totally quiet room in the home to use as an office'...nope, don't have that.
And one of the jobs I had been considering was sounding good until I got to the part where it said you're required to have their internet service. WTF?
A couple of them got back to me, such as American Support. The e-mail says they're hiring for a September 15th class, and I need to do a PC system check to ensure that my computer is compatible with American Support systems. Ver-A-Fast did hire me. They're just waiting for me to send back some paperwork.

So I wasted my time today going to this interview because this woman forgot about our interview! Good thing the bus ride is only $1 each way. She said she hadn't even written it down in her calendar. She apologized and gave me an application to take with me, but I'll probably just crumple it up. This other place that's within walking distance from me is the one I'd really like to have an interview with/get hired at anyway.

^^ This!!! I was so bored earlier, so I decided to count how many freeloaders popped in my room~over 200! Even repeat custies yet nobody took me prvt?(On SM) This past summer was the most insanity I could stand for one lifetime on there.
Now that it's fall, and Friday night... I've lost my enthusiasm for camming.
At least on my token sites even if it's slow, I always get tips. Maybe the guys on SM are confused about what to do. Idk at this point.

Girl please you do what you have to do. I did the training and entry level positions for IT support on several different companies. Training is usually 30 days and a guaranteed paycheck. I racked up on that for a year as back up money. Tech support and customer service is a pain in the butt. I say don't worry about it. Not sure how much they're offering you but thinking of it as a stepping stone and get the money.

I don't know if you saw my most recent post in this thread, but I've pretty much crossed Job A off the list after my time was wasted today. The other place is way more convenient for me, if they do decide to hire me.

Don't feel bad, I hit my all time low for a Friday on SM. I forced myself to stay on 4hrs and 15 min. Logged out only once for a 10min break and made a big $37.33. This is starting to be just a side job for extra shit now. I'm gonna have to get another job. I just wanna work from home! uuuuggghh!

I applied for a receptionist job at a local clinic. Cheap, $12-15 an hour. Boring as fuck, but guaranteed income and 9-5 Monday-Friday. I figure it'll supplement camming if I get it. So that sucks, but I did just find one of my old whales, so that's good at least. I just don't wanna go back to work, but I'm frustrated knowing that camming kind of ruins my 'professional' resume with blank spots so going back to having a job would be shitty but good.

I have to supplement my vanilla income with camming, so its always been a side thing for me, but with the way that things are going now I feel like I'll have to get a more intensive, better vanilla job, which will mean less time for camming :(. it sucks, but wow, so does camming right now. It makes me sad when this happens.

All I want to do is fucking make money so I can move out of this fucking apartment but it is like the whole universe is conspiring against me to make sure I don't make any money.
I've already lost two fucking weeks of pay in the last few months over the landlords blocking off 8 hours days to come in and do work and I just got a notice that they have now want to come in over another fucking three days.
I can't work on my cam at all since they keep blocking off fucking 8 hours of time so I am seriously just forced to wait for them to show up. I won't be able to pay RENT if they keep this fucking up. I've told them that I work from home but that's made zero difference to them.
I can not fucking WAIT to save up enough money to move out of here.....that is if I ever get a chance to work. Even if I was to work a shift overnight there is not guarantee I am going to be able to get enough sleep because they could come in and wake me up at any time.
I just want to work and be able to make money.....why is that so fucking hard for me to be able to do?

^^^ I think the work team has a time frame when they will come to do the work right? I mean i dont think they come at 8pm or so? Probably starting in the morning after 8 am and finishing in the afternoon?! Then u have the early evening to work, few hrs shift, get in bed early enough so u can catch few hrs sleep and be awake in the morning. Imagine how difficult is for the moms with infants/ toddlers, kids in school, we always have to adjust to their schedule. Even if u dont work full shifts (not sure how many hrs u work normally) u can still work short ones, wish u good luck and plenty of energy!

I appreciate the idea hun. I've definitely tried that and to some extent it's worked, but interviewers have often grilled me for details, examples, and other nonsense when I've used it. I live in such a small town that they get all curious. The kicker is that the death to a few interviews has been 'why do you POSSIBLY want to stop being self-employed?' and the implication that I must fail at it and thus would fail at the job. *insert eye roll here* I was employed privately part time until late July, so I've got probably three months grace before I need to start explaining that blank spot away with something. Ugh.

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to doing the whole interview thing all over again. You fill out a job application at home, get called for an interview, and sit there having to explain everything you've written on your application. And then sometimes you go through all of that only to find that the hours they're hiring for are hours that don't work for you, or the salary is ridiculously low. I wish employers would tell us this stuff (what hours they're hiring for, and what they usually pay) beforehand so we can decide if it's worth it to set up the interview.

Nope, since they are working a whole block of apartments and not just mine they don't have time to give me notice.
The situation truly sucks. :/
