Well in in any case, it didn't work, I didn't get the job...nothing new there. *shrugs*
At this rate I'm just going to get my guns out of storage and start holding up retail stores for money to pay my bills. I don't want to. But I am literally at the edge of desperation.

Just a word of advice, a prospective employer will find you more attractive if you are currently employed. Apply at McDonalds, Burger King and any fast food chain you know of. You will get hired at one of those or any of the minimum wage jobs in most cities. Then you can keep right on applying for other jobs and the big gaping hole in your employment situation isn't going to be staring at and scaring prospective employers. You see, when given two applicants that may be equally qualified, employers usually choose the one that seems more eager to work. That in employer speak is the one that is currently employed.

if you were local to me, i'd surely give you a play. everyone around here complains about a lack of work and it's simply not true. people just think they're worth more than they are (not harshly, but it's true). if you come to me and start complaining that you're not making enough, i say you're making *your wage* more than 0.
i'm a general contractor and could always use a person who isn't scared to get dirty, even more so if you actually know something like how to pound a nail, read a tape measure, use a power tool. you'd be amazed at how many of my contractor buddies have the same need.
wherever you are, i'd suggest walking up to a construction site, asking who the boss is and offering your services to do anything and let them know you're not against grunt work. you'd be amazed at how fast they'd take you, even if for sweeping up or organizing tools. that stuff's invaluable on a site.

I used to make cash on the side to appease my bloodsucking ex wife by walking up to jobsites. Framing and punch out is where it's at. Easy work, tools are cheap, always something to do, never enough hands to do it. Definitely worth a try. Ever given any thought to driving a semi? Also completely awesome and decent pay (they're also always hiring, even if you don't have a CDL).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

absolutely. i'm not giving you framing if you're new, lol, but if you know what a header is, we're in! haha.
if i'm slow, i'll take out my dump truck and do the same thing. drive to sites and see what they need taken to the yard. it's a hustle, man.

I have considered construction work, actually... I haven't pursued it. Why? I have NO CLUE. I spent three years when I was younger helping to tear down a house from the inside and then rebuild it from the inside out. There was something ridiculously fun about sledgehammering drywall and ripping up carpets. And I enjoyed putting up the drywall and caulking tiles and the like. Maybe I should look around, see if there's any construction sites. This IS the capitol city of the state, there's gotta be a few buildings going up around.

I believe my last revelation in the shower involved the shower head and pleasure. I haven't been able to have any other thoughts in the shower since

I get highly offended when anyone of any faith tells me: "I'll pray for you." I would really rather you not. I'd actually you rather not attempt to put me into ANY pseudo communication with your magical friend. I never let anyone know when I'm speaking to myself, and hope that if anyone finds me kneeling while doing so, they just put me out of my misery.

Of course; they are doing it for themselves....not for you. Theists are the ultimate phonies.
