"I know my friend
bf109 has been having his ups and downs, and his recent journal has been rather wantin.
But truth be told, the a majority of you may not know that he is just trying to get by. He needs a new computer for college, which doesn’t seem like such a requirement. But the one he has cannot even handle the current work load of a MS word 2010 (trust me, I have been working on it for some time now, and the specs are horrible and non-upgradable.)
He’s asking for help in getting one, not only because its required for most of his classes, but also because he needs to start on Commissions (as a work in progress concept), pay what you want, ect to help earn at least some form of income to help him and his family (which at this point only consists of himself, his mother, and two brothers. And while he has been looking for a job up and down, even handing in hand written and typed recommendations from friends, teachers, family, ect, and has gotten one. His current job is part time substitute custodial. It is an on call job meaning he is an extra that would be the first to be first should things not go well, and has any checks earned heavily taxed (over 33%) They have not called him to work since mid December.
Having spent about five years searching for one myself and got a lucky break due to a fairly well-known figure of the town I live in; handing in the typed letter of recommendation to help me out in the interview. I can say firsthand the getting a job while also in college is a very difficult thing to work with and/or around.
So let’s put the pitch forks, torches, guns, blades, nukes and what have you away for the time being. And accept the facts that that sometimes we all lose our shit when trying to ask for help. And while he will continue to look for better jobs while working on college (by force if necessary), it would not go unappreciated if you gave him a hand up. Spreading news of a man in need is okay, money is good; a hand up by possibly getting him a better job opening near his location would be the best.
And let’s not judge him for the fool he made of himself not but a few moments ago even if it were well deserved, but let us all set aside whatever we can to help each other out for a while. For I know that a lot of you could certainly have used some help some time ago, and it is frustration to no end when you see everyone around you having some form of success while you fall apart.
Anything that could help would not go amiss nor without notice or gratitude: mikegillespie104[at]gmail.com "
