Jeffrey posted:When one adult agrees to let another adult live in their home, there is an implicit contract that, while the owner makes the rules, the rules will be "reasonable". I'm not going to lay down an explicit definition of reasonable, but there are plenty of things that are over the line, including regulating what the OP does with his door closed while mom isn't there, given that it doesn't damage the property or affect her. The OP cannot change his living situation right now(though he should be setting goals and working on it, which it sounds like he is), and as sad as it is that our society doesn't provide it to all people, shelter with one's own space to do with as they wish is a basic human right. The mom is not obligated to keep providing him living quarters, but given that it is where he lives currently, he has the right to a modicum of privacy as long as he lives there. At first I was thinking "Her house, her rules" but I have to think there are lines that shouldn't be crossed. Right off the bat I wonder how other people who think "Her house, her rules" would think about having cameras installed in each room to make sure that nothing immoral/dark-sided is going on under her roof. That being said that just changes my opinion from like it or get out to just get out. Looks like OP is making good steps towards that, but if you do have a friend who will hold boxes for you drop your stuff off with them in the meantime. -- As for your skillset OP, keep all your options open and don't focus too much on one(law in this case). Every office can use someone, but usually every office only needs One someone. Just keep on going. Alpha Kenny Juan fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jan 31, 2013 |

Benny the Snake posted:And there's a really sweet opportunity working at a local police department as a date entry clerk. The same police department where my uncle works as an officer. I'm assuming this is the same uncle you confided in and responded with "Well look at it from your mom's point of view. You can't blame her... (etc, etc  )." As long as your uncle doesn't bring up your personal life and You don't bring up your personal life this sounds like a good opportunity. Someone else mentioned community college which is one place I know of that does certifications like that. I know of another place which is like a testing center. I went there for some certs I needed. Not sure what to call it other than a Testing Center, but yeah those places exist.Good on you for taking initiative. Just keep going and don't lose sight of your goal.

cname posted:There we go! Progress! Never get personal. Repeated for emphasis. Home life stays at home. Business stays at the job. Never mix the two and you'll be much Much happier for it. Besides, look at how cname and toby answered that question. Open-ended questions can easily be answered with open-ended answers. They're not looking for any answer in particular, but if you offer up bad information they'll be sure to latch onto it. All in all this is a learning experience and you should feel wiser for it.
