You have to be loving kidding me, Benny. Really? When I was about 17 I was convinced that I had a wonderful novel in me (as the cliché goes). I started writing it. It was awful. The difference between you and me is that I quickly realised that and did something else instead. It was still better crafted than this poo poo (and don't doubt for a moment that my writings were utter poo poo). You are in your mid/late 20s, still convinced that your piss-poor writing will one day set the world on fire. I was firmly in the "ROOTING FOR BENNY" camp for a while, but, honestly, gently caress you for not listening to most of the suggestions that people have given you here in good faith. Stop fannying around in goddamn thunderdome like that's a good goal to be working towards - if you think that is anything other than avoiding what you should be doing then you are lying to yourself.

Shovel poo poo, Benny. Surely you can manage that? Oh who am I loving kidding. You'll be here, February 2015, pissing on about how you are really, really, REALLY, SUPERREALLY following up on this one great lead you have (definition: doing gently caress all).

There are people who have had pubic hair for a shorter time than this thread has been running that have a nice little Saturday job for pocket money where they don't ram carts into cars. Think about that.

He told me that he won't start hiring 'till May when all the summer movies start coming out.

He told you that to semi-politely get you to go away, you loving oblivious idiot. THERE IS NO JOB IN MAY FOR YOU.

This mañana bullshit is unbelievable. It's always "i'll maybe call next Monday or something". Do it loving NOW. I had some sympathy for a while because I know what it's like to be unemployed and passed over for being over/under-qualified, but no amount of "boo-hoo the economy" can excuse your putting everything off bullshit, Benny.

I'd recommend you suck cocks in shady back alleys for change, but you'd probably just bite the glans off and then whine in this thread that you didn't know one shouldn't do that. And ask for compensation. In comics.

Also, realtalk, stop trawling for good vibes in thunderdome, you stupid twat.

Edit: ONE HUNDRED PAGES OF INACTION.

I think you'll fit right in at Sears
Agreed - Sears has a whole section dedicated to tools that only work for a week before breaking down.

:lol:

I feel I'm going to regret this serious advice (please don't use bleach on that priceless Persian rug), but have you looked into any cleaning jobs yet, Benny? You have talked a lot in the earlier stages of this thread about the problems of fitting work in and around your potential studies/schedule - depending on what kind of gig you go for, there will be a tonne of options from doing the earlybird shift for a couple of hours at a corporate office or the like to privately scrubbing for a busy working family etc etc. The former requires little to no human interaction and the latter will often be cash in hand. Win...win?

I know I have definitely not been the kindest about your plight in this thread, but surely that's something you could do for a while to save some cash and move on? Hours could be flexible as hell.

Anecdotal support for the idea: I'm a dealer in a casino and one of our cleaners is the sperglord to end all sperglords - lank, long, greasy hair; pubebeard; too loud quavering voice; no idea of when to stop oversharing his thoughts - the works. But he's a nice/harmless chap and gets on with the job and does it splendidly. Understand that I'm not saying that that is exactly YOU, Benny, just that if the epitome of awkward can do it, then...hopefully, so can you? You've implied that you chore it up at mom's house so surely you can wipe a skirting board or operate a vacuum without running it into a car, yes?

Maybe Benny could write a thank you card to the bereaved owner of the cat that he hoovered up and turn it all around (scribbled in the bathroom and presented to them as they're crying over that bloated appliance and lack of cat, of course) :smith:

I feel compelled to address the person two pages back who suggested house cleaning.

Ammonia and bleach are common cleaning agents. Benny's chlorine gas bomb would drop everyone faster than a bunch of germans defending a trench.

That would be me. I really didn't think that part through, did I?

Do you think literally "shovelling poo poo" would be gently caress-upable? If so, I'm all outta ideas. Ah, I forgot the "Can you reliably travel to the manure farm Y/N?" question. I got nothing.

Adult baby. That's why he left.

He's posted five times after that particular revelation. Are you just forgetting about his superpower of being able to cherry-pick only the things he wants to respond to? He's had similar gaps in the past, I wouldn't read too much into it. A little speculative fetish mudslinging isn't going to stop ARE BENNY.

Ursine Asylum posted:

There's not been an influx of hugboxing, so Benny's got no reason to post.

That's more likely the case.

Y'know it just dawned on me - Ben deserves props for bucking an e/n trend - 127 pages and a year+ later and he still left his OP intact. Of course that could merely be down to :effort:, but I like to hope he's committed, if clueless.

We're all going to feel really silly when Benny puts a link to this thread in the acknowledgements section of his future bestseller.

We all know he'd put that in the foreword by means of an accidental cut-and-paste in the middle of an unrelated sentence. Other writers would go "oops, silly me!" and clean up the mistake. Benny will see the mistake and go "oh well I know that that's wrong but I wasn't meaning for this to be my best book" and leave it right there.
