I Wish This Was 42 - by Dianna G

Guess what? It's worse than even I thought!

February 29th 2008 03:48
Yep. I've got three weeks to find a place to live. And I'm pretty much going to be house-hopping every few weeks for two years, maybe even being able to bribe my mother to let me stay for a week out of the month.

What I'm doing right now is getting a SIN number, going to school and trying to figure out a part-time job. Once I've got one of those, depending, I *might* be able to actually move back into my old place, with my grandfather.

Now THAT is a crazy dream. On one hand. But on the other hand... it's not all that unlikely. If I can get a part time job VERY soon and actually be making money by the end of next month, I should be able to manage something. If I talk to my grandmother and ask a few friends of mine... I'm pretty sure.


That's an interesting goal. And it's also my new one. My grandfather needs a roommate who can pay rent. If I can pay rent I'm going to jump at it. I love that apartment and he's going to have to move out soon if he can't find someone; I don't want him to have to move and I really, really, really want to live there again-I miss it.

So. Any ideas on how to start making $800-odd dollars a month?

(The rent is six hundred. My smoking and food is the rest.)

'Cause I'm pretty much fresh out. But I really want to.

Well give up the food....
That's not really necessary is it?

Dunno where u live but maybe try an online job search. Australia has "Seek" and I found that really useful just to look up some information but it might give you some ideas about what you can do.

You could start by registering with a supermarket for their vacancies. They have a fast turn around of staff and are sure to always be looking. As Sven said, online recruitment websites are everywhere, there is always a way!

We've just had 2 weeks to find a place to live as well and money is always an issue with us so I hear you. Rental prices now are disgusting so I wish you all the best.

The supermarket and MacDonald's, give up the fags, Grandad sounds great, what's happened with poor old mum?

I wish you well, I'm sure you're a hard worker.

Mom and I hate each other. Gumps is awesome.

And I was a complete psycho before I started smoking; now I'm only a half-psycho.

Thanks for your comments guys
