I'm not trying to be insulting or anything, but I know that jobs such as Mcdonalds or even gas stations and the such (not such great minimum wage jobs basically) don't require you to have transportation. Most of their employees are usually 15-17 and most don't have cars because it's their first job.
Is there a fast food place near your home that you can walk/ride bike/bus to?? That might be your best option at this point to at least get a few dollars in your pocket.
I know people who are determined to get what they can so work fast food for awhile and save up all their money and get really nice stuff. You can too!!!
The nearest McDonalds is 9.5 miles away. You miss a day of work and you are fired. Coupled with the fact that I've put in applications already... As for gas stations, none are hiring. This is post-hurricane territory, and the minimum wage jobs are already filled. Believe me, I have checked, and I continue to check. :-/
What about those weird "work from home" jobs that you can find in the classified ads??
Also, I think if you call up your dad and apologize and basically bullshit around in his favor, he'll probably agree to help you out again. Maybe go put his air conditioner in for him or something. Gotta kiss people's asses sometimes as long as their willing to help you.
The ones around here are pyramid schemes. I've tried several. And I will *NOT* apologize for the paranoid shit he comes up with. That's how I survived him during my childhood, and that is precisely what I will no longer do. You simply do not get it.. he is, quite frankly, insane. He imagines stuff, and holds this as reality. I do not actually have to fuck up in order to do wrong. He will perceive wrong in places it does not exist. I quite literally have to walk on eggshells for *any* support from him, emotional or otherwise. He is not my father.
I go through the same shit with my stepmom. Sometime's it's so hard to let her go in one ear and out the other while she's bantering and going on and on about really stupid shit. She always uses the excuse that she's sick and her medecine makes her irritable but she's been that way our whole lives... So I do understand what you're having to deal with, I was basically just giving the advice that I typically use with her. Let her do her ranting and raving, sometimes I'll fight back, but then after a (not sincere) apology she usually gives in.
I'm sorry for you though... and I wish you lots of good luck too. I know how you feel.
I seriously do not get any benefit from doing that. Even after an apology, I would end up not getting the car. If not for this, for some other shit. That's the way it has always been, and will always be. So fuck him.
An example: In order for me to receive financial aide at a college I was trying to attend right out of school, I had to fill out the fafsa and apply for the pell grant. To do this, I needed my parents tax information, as even though at the time I was living on my own and had received jack shit from him, I was considered a financial dependant until age 23. He refused to give me the information because, and I quote: "I don't want you to go to school off the taxpayers information like your Uncle (his brother) did. Doing that would be lazy. No, you have to work to go to college."
Considering I had enough money to pay my bills and certainly did *NOT* have several thousand extra dollars per year, there was no way I could afford to go at the time.
my mom said she would help me with college.. but any time I tried to talk to her about it she would blow me off.. and then she would be quick to mention to everyone how she offered to help me with college, but alas.. I didn't take her up on it.. it is all about show.
..the fact that my dad even said that I had not spoken to him in a week (when it had been two days), and that I was not actively looking for a job (when it was Memorial day weekend. Hiring managers are *NOT* present at this time, so driving to put in an application is simply a waste of very expensive gas. Instead, I had searched for jobs on southeasttexas.com, monster, and the texas workforce commission's job listings pages, and sent resumes for the potentials I found.) only add to my hatred for the man. This sort of drama happens far too frequently for me to brush off. His distrust for technology and the internet, distrust of me, and everything else he has had since day one only serves to piss me off
