with the economy the way it is and the break from racing at the moment, i have been out of work for the past couple of weeks and will be until the VERY end of this month. id go look for another job, but by the time i found anything it would be time for the aarc and id be back at work, so that wouldnt help me much. :(

i was just wondering if anybody on this site had a need for any sort of labor or help or work to be done or ANYTHING so that i can maybe make like 150-200 bucks before the 21st, when my phone bill/car insurance is due.

any help at all will be greatly appreciated. seriously. i dont care if its scrubbing toilets I NEED SOME MONEY!!

and try to keep the bs in here to a minimum if you dont mind.

Arent you one of the Jonas brothers?? You guys stop touring?

I'll rent your GF for an evening of nude fun...say $25 cash?

How do you feel about gay sex??

Just thought I'd get the jokes out of the way. :lol:
Good luck man. Times are tough right now...for everyone.
Tom doesnt have work for you except at races??

i knew you would have something to say... lol

theres actually very little non-race work flowing through right now. they fired glenn, one of the street mechanics a week ago. theres just nothing to do at all there.

My girlfriend's dad is checking. They have odd and end jobs that pop up every now and then.

In the meantime, I'll gladly donate something if you need it.

thanks man. just let me know what she can find, ill be glad to do it.

and as far as donations go, i appreciate the offer but that sort of thing is my LAST LAST LAST resort. im just trying to get my bills paid haha. i know 200 bucks isnt much for some people but thats a **** ton of money for me at the moment.

The corner is always hiring and I'm sure you could make that $200 easily in one night depending on good you are! :Stickout:

Do you have anything in your closet or garage that you can sell?? Always an alternative....

ive already sold all the things im willing to part with so far. most of it went over the summer before i started at OPM. all i have now thats worth anything is my xbox, which keeps me sane when i dont have gas to go out, and my guitars. and theres no way id sell those. lol. they arent even really nice ones anyways.

I'm trying to think of something but I'm completely stumped out of ideas. Dish scrubber somewhere? Sawyer does your Chili's need someone to clean dishes?

see the thing with your idea jack, is most of those places wanna put you on a payroll and all that. i dont have time to wait around for my first check, because as soon as racing picks back up im gonna be out of town alot and working almost full time when im in town, along with school thats ~12 hours per week. i need cash NOW to pay my bills ASAP.

jesseealexander
10-12-2008, 01:35 AM

I asked today, he's got nothing that wouldn't require the application process, etc. which won't help you any. Sorry man, if something comes up, he said he'd let me know.

jesseealexander
10-14-2008, 11:36 AM
okay. thanks anyways man. :)

just let me know if you can think of ANYTHING that either you or someone you know needs done or needs help with.

I do, my parents made me do it for years and I got so sick of having orders barked at me when I was in the middle of something else I was already being forced to do.

Well I guess I was lucky when i was younger and was never really "forced" to do it.

Mike, take your parents and that was my mom... I knew basic carpentry at the age of 11 and could cut and lay tile and carpet at 12.

Did you ever think about goign to a temp agency?

RotorNutFD3S
10-17-2008, 09:01 AM
He said he can't do that because of application and pay processes. By the time he gets in, it's time for him to quit, and then he has to wait on the check, etc.

He just needs to go work with the Home Depot crew for a week...

****... go put a damn ad in the CL Barter section "I need $200.. you need xxxxx work done"

MeFryRice
10-17-2008, 09:36 AM
That's actually not a bad idea.

RotorNutFD3S
10-17-2008, 10:43 AM
That's what most people do. Didn't we already suggest something like that?

i did put out a CL ad, and got no calls/responses.

Perhaps you posted in the wrong area?
Have you tried 'men seeking men'????

I am just playin' with ya. :lol: :D

Truthfully..I think alot of people/companies etc are 'on hold' right now due to economic worries. One half of the total unemployed people in GA are in ATL too. Its a bad time to look for work. You will have to be persistent and patient.

i already told you and doppelganger that im not looking for "that" kind of work, especially from a bunch of miata driving homos.... :lol:


jk guys, i know the economy has ALOT to do with it right now, i just have no idea what to do. i have ) dollars to my name right now and my phone/insurance are due really really soon.

RotorNutFD3S
10-17-2008, 10:25 PM
My offer to chip in something to help out still stands. I hate taking money from people, but it's saved my *** before too. And hurting your credit score for missing a payment is a bad thing, especially now.
