    Default Gonna Be Homeless Again

    He's kicking me out. I have until October to get ANOTHER job, find someplace to go, where I can take my things, and my cats. I can't handle moving long distance again. I just cant. This sucks so hard. I'm so close to work, and the beach has been such therapy for me. I'd get a studio in this complex if I could. I'm going to try to find another job, see if I can swing it. I'd like to stay here. I dunno if they're going to do a credit check on me though. If so, I am so fucked.

    You have until October? Why would you be homeless? Sorry though.

    October is a lot of time.
    I know I've said this before, but stripping doesn't seem like it has worked out well for you. Since medication is one of your big expenses, can you not find an entry level job with health benefits?

    I'd have to find something that is VERY lenient about my health screwing with my work schedule. But I have to, so I'm going to... and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that my health improves so I can work a paycheck job for more than a day or two a week.

    Well..if you want to move down here you can move in with me. We could use the income from a roommate so it may be beneficial to both of us! And we could lie in bed and webcam together all day!!!

    I think Jenny is right. And October does not mean you'll be homeless, at all. So, stop the self pitying (I know, I'm being harsh babe) and get proactive. You WILL find a job. And you WILL find a studio apt. you like. YOU WILL SUCCEED. Period. Don't give yourself any slack, just do. And NO SELF WALLOWING. Period.

    Love it!

    I dunno how much I can offer you guys. I'd have to transfer Blockbusters, and still find another job if they can't offer me much as far as hours go. I'm honestly not very income-awesome at the moment.

    Meh...we could work something out. Maybe we'll just take your rent in sexual favors..lol..j/k. (but if you offer...hey hey...)

    There is a Blockbuster right around the corner and prob 2 more within quick driving distance...and a ton of jobs like it. Plus if you want we could webcam together..2 girl shows almost ALWAYS make more..and Yek can tell you...you can fake EVERYTHING.

    It may take some time for the cats to all get along but whatever...they'd get used to it.

    I'm just offering in case you need it. Even if its just temporary...as long as I have a home,you wont ever be on the street if you want.(though I may not have one long myself...but if I do...mi casa es su casa)

    Paige, you have a lot of work experience in a variety of areas, don't you? Like you have computer skills and experience. I had the impression that the high pressure sales environment of a strip club is not really where you shone. If you really want to stay in the sex trade, maybe web cam would be good for you? (There is a super detailed webcam thread in Other Work). At least until you find something else.

    ^^Or phone sex. Isn't there a thread on here about how to get started in that? That way she could work her own hours from home to supplement her income and not worry too much about the health issues getting in the way.

    I was a downright mess at work. Sn EMT pal of mine had to medicate me. I'm so effin scared. And nauseated. And shaky. Karma, from werk #2 wants to go in on a place with me here at this complex. This complex makes me happy. So near werk #2, and the beach often keeps me sane. The cats love it here too. Our only downfall? We'd never survive credit checks. I don't think I can move long distance at this point, either.

    Another major disaster? All of this is going to make me miss out on working FetishCon, and I'm most likely going to not be able to be my friend's maid of honor (in Amsterdam) now. I doubt I will be able to afford to go, and if I get yet another job, I doubt they'd let me take two weeks off.

    The cats love it here as much as I do, so carting them off again is going to be a strain on them. And there is a good chance that I might end up homeless in the Couch Bouncing manner, which means I can't keep them with me. Nor the frog. Or my beloved plants.

    I can't keep any solids down right now. Ugh. Sleep is going to be a joke.

    I'm not sure. I hear mention from non-professionals in these fields that I might be able to for emotional disturbance as well as the sleep issues. I need to get a doctor so I can at least have some sort f proof for when I apply, right?

    I dunno if this is any help... but I know how it is trying to find a place with bad credit...

    Since a lot of rentals are done by property management and they almost always do credit checks you can often get around that by looking for privately managed properties and there are a LOT of them on craigslist... well in Hawaii there are at least. They tend to be more lenient with deposits and stuff too on top of rarely doing credit checks.

    Anyways... I doubt that helps at all, but it's really the only help I've got Something will work out for you... it always happens that way. So don't get too down... in the end it may be a waste of silly negative energy. You never know what opportunities will arise Just cause you can't see them now doesn't mean they're not there eh?

    Good luck - I'm sending out some positive thoughts for ya

    Paige, October is two and a half months away. You will either gather the guts to move down with Cam, or you will gather the guts to get your own apartment. You are not lacking in guts.

    Or you could get a van, make it all homey, and sleep on the beach every night. My friend Lydia has a van cat who loves living in the van.

    You cant get a customer or friend with good credit to co=sign on the lease? I have done this before when I couldn't get into places on my own.

    You're bitching and worrying about a place to live 2.5 months from now? Am I missing something?

    Look, I think you're a sweetie pie, but get off the fucking pity pot! You are not obligated to tell prospective employers about health issues. There are government programs out there that can help you with medical bills, apply for disability benefits, do whatever you have to do. But, guess what? You have to go out and do this shit instead of sitting on the computer wallowing in your pity about how bad you have it.

    I hate to say it, but there are people who are much worse off than you are. You may think you have it bad, but you really don't. Stop making excuses for how everything is too hard and get your ass in gear and make something happen.

    Thank goodness someone said it first! I really didn't want to be cruel and ganged up upon if nobody agreed!

    Paige you aren't going to make your life ANY better if you already assume you're going to fail. Living life with a 'I'm going to fail, why try?' attitude is what MAKES YOU FAIL.

    You don't think highly of yourself. You never have. You'd rather make people happy but make yourself miserable. You never spend a single day focusing on your happiness... instead you focus on your misery.

    Maybe stop being so pessimistic.

    And what exactly ARE your health issues? Do you have any physical ones or are they all mental? Because seriously, you sound like a friend I used to have and I finally had to omit her from my life because her depression never got better... she never even fucking tried.. she was so set in being miserable and having people pity her that she never learned what maturity and happiness and self-reliance were.

    People are just going to keep slowly pushing you away until you can make YOURSELF a healthy happy adjusted individual. It's so hard trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped.. who doesn't accept an extended hand of invitation..and then continues to wallow in their own misery and self-hatred. So people walk away thinking they can never help you. And you just get worse because they walked away.

    Do you see the pattern?

    Look on Craigslist and rent a room in a house. My husband did that, it was ridiculously cheap, in a super nice house and it worked out well. The guy didn't do a credit check or anything, he just wanted a little help paying the mortgage and he had an empty room. You can do that short term until you get a little bit more stable and can get your own apartment. A lot of people already have pets, so they wouldn't mind another cat or two.

    Adding to the Craigslist idea, there are often lots of students who drop out or decide that they no longer want to live in their apartments. Look through craigslist for sublets, ones where you don't take over the lease, but rather pay the holder of said lease. Rarely do these people require credit checks. They are instead desperate for someone to assume responsibility for the remainder of the lease. Check towns/cities near you that have large student populations.

    I see this over and over in your posts. I hope you don't think we're ganging up on you but it's getting to a point where I want to internet-choke you for all the self defeating things you say!
    I care about you in some way, Paige. I see a lot of myself in you, and I know that I have been where you are. I have couch surfed with my cats. It's a SELF IMPOSED lifestyle. No one is making you fail except you.
    Why are you not jumping at the chance to move in with Cam? It sounds like it could be fun at least, maybe something to cheer you up. And then you can use her as a landlord reference when you move on to another place. It's really big of her to offer and you're not even giving a real reason why you can't. "Can't" shouldn't be in your vocabulary anyway. I know that's cheesy but my dad drilled it into my head when I was younger and it's so true.

    What are the flexibility issues you require from work specifically? Your (next?) employer may be able to give you accommodations under the ADA, depending on your needs and the available work-arounds. However, to get ADA accommodations, your employer has to be put on notice, which means disclosure. The tricky part is when and how in the hiring process to bring it up, which is a very sensitive, fact-dependent thing.

    If your health situation prohibits work, SSD is an option, but it won't be quick or easy to get going; from what you've indicated, you probably would get denied, but there's one definitive way to find out lol. An interview with SSD can clear up some eligibility concerns and perhaps point you in other directs to get needs met.

    Otherwise, qualifying for welfare - at least the health benefits for treatment and perhaps food stamps - is far easier, and it could possibly cya in the meantime if you're panicking.

    I've had friends go the CL route to get housing. Ideal situation in every way? No. Live-able for the time being while you work on developing security in other respects? Yep.

    When you talk about another job, what can you see yourself realistically doing? House mom?
