I'm wondering how long the process takes. I'm sitting here at work and I cannot fucking stand my job any more. It's a total waste of time and I'm barely living paycheck to paycheck. Haven't been able to afford groceries for over a month. I can't donate blood, and I assume plasma is also out of the question. Kind of wary about volunteering for product testing. Sperm donations seem like they would work, but I need something that brings in money quickly.

Economical challenges, eh? Most folks have them. I'd say right now the best thing to do is to downscale, right down to zero. It always amazes me how much money I save by not spending it. :/

And having a saving account has helped me to no end. But that's just me.
 
Sounded an awful lot like danish there for a moment.

I make that mistake too sometimes, but on the one hand you have minimalist composers, and on the other you have the Danish language.

...

I'm not sure about your situation Crunched but found ways we could save quite a bit of money when I was laid off 2 years ago. I'm sure you've already gone over everything you can to save money, but it's amazing how much you can trim from your monthly budget.

Every time someone tells me about money problems I always suggest the first thing they do is cut the Cable. It's stupid that people pay 100 dollars for TV. >.< Stupid cable companies.

I would be okay making little money if I felt my job was worthwhile. But the longer I work here (at 5 years now; after 4 received my first raise, from $9 to $9.25), the more excruciating it becomes. It's tough to get out of bed in the morning knowing I will be wasting my time for 8 or more hours every day.

I don't want to sound whiny or entitled, but it's frustrating being essentially exploited (my lunch at work costs 1/4 of what I make in a day, and I am forced to put money into a 401k with no option to withdraw) and seeing nothing worthwhile come of it. I know I can offer more. I haven't found any opportunity to put my degree to use, and I'm trying to teach myself some extra topics in my off hours.

There's no opportunity for promotion at my job, and there are no positions I would ever want to transfer to. I work in a hospital kitchen, and at this point I've spent a huge chunk of my life in hospitals, from being perpetually sick as a child to working in one as an adult.

In November I told my boss, "If I'm still working here in a month, I'm going to shoot myself." But of course I can't go through with that. There must be other opportunities somewhere -- but what are they??

People say you have to spend money to make money, but what if you have none to begin with?

My father offered the family business to me a few months ago but I turned him down. He owns a restaurant, and I know it would help working there in the short term but it's ultimately going to fail. He's managed it very poorly and frankly I don't want anything to do with him.



Well so much for not sounding whiny! That's my rant for the week I guess. Back to work.
 
From what I've read on the site that thoroughly researches it's articles, Cracked.com, the sperm donor process is a huge pain in the ass that isn't worth it at all.

Its not whiny, cause most of that made sense to me. Those are I would have to say legitimate reasons. At least you are still able to think clearly. Now I suppose you've got to make plans. Or something like it.
 
There's a height minimum that I didn't reach :(
From what I understand, it's six feet or taller, which I qualify for.

marrec, my fiance pays most house bills. She has a well paying, stable job working at a Macy's Assistance and Technology center. If not for her I would be homeless. I don't think it's fair that she should have to shoulder all the bills, though. She is paying the rent, gas, cell phones, electric, cable, Internet, and making student loans. I'd like to help, but literally all my money each pay week goes to covering what's accrued on my credit card from the time of my previous paycheck. I pay for our gym memberships, and that's about it. Most of my money goes toward food, and gas is my second highest expense.

Up until about a year ago, I was the one paying most of the bills, working up to three jobs at a time while going to school. Her family helped her when she did not have money. Mine does not do the same for me.

We are also trying to plan a wedding, which is expensive as hell. That's mostly her deal though, as she wants the best of everything.

Cable TV is a nonissue for me anyway as I never watch it.

I'm trying to keep our bank accounts separate when we get married, and I've tried explaining to her that this is because I don't have financial stability and don't want to ruin both of us if something happens to bring me down in flames. She thinks keeping our accounts separate will cause tension. I see it as exactly the opposite. Still working to convince her.

With a film production degree and a creative writing minor, I am completely useless as an Ohioan. I have no financial backing or family support. Trying to teach myself some programming in spare time as an additional skill, but it's time consuming and a lot of my days seem wasted if I am not looking for a new job.

I guess everyone runs into problems like this at some point. It's just my turn.
 
Wtf I thought I entered real pic GAF, not sperm donor gaf....

I think the op should help in describing this thread. This is real pic gaf. Which is exactly what it says on the tin: gaffers with real pics. What's interesting and fascinating is that there are real people behind those avatars, and real gaffers talk about real stuff.

There's lots of sub-groups here, and there's less than ten days remaining, so enjoy it while you still can. By the sounds of it, there's a 90% chance, this thread will get moved to community, or just die a natural thread death, cause some people like myself, are gonna stick to the point of the op, and the thread title, and keep it real pic JANUARY.

The post January thread, will probably be good for the banter, where real pic gaf talks about what happened in January, how or whether it changed their posting habits, or changed their gaf experience [whatever that is] and carries on in some fashion or the other, but we, at least know that this is just gaf being gaf, but with real pics. Which is the point of this thread. :P

I would entertain the notion of a "Real Pic January! |OT3| February Edition" and so forth. Keep the original name! :D


hmmm

not sure if i want to join lol

It's okay. Plenty of girls have joined, but I think only a couple have been overwhelmed by creeper PMs.


You guys! OYG! Media Create thread is starting to weird me out with the occasional running RPers. I now know what JJS looks like. I kinda assumed in the back of my brain that he'd be a dangerously thin looking teenager who happens to be inexplicably good at php and mysql. My reality has been shattered.

Okay, hairline cracked.

Bit too early for thread titles.

RPJ - You are already dead

Always works.

That's a dirty lie. I stopped after I realized that I was having a cup an hour and nothing was happening anymore.

Morning solution? Get the heart pumping with cardio. Jogging, morning sex, push-ups (&#8592;that's what I do), sit-ups, running up and down the stairs at work a few times; then the body will be ready to roll.

it will be disappointed if you spend the rest of the day at a desk
