Well, the technical end is still borked I guess, so everyone keep your eyes open.  But hey, for once a SAD issue (Footkerchief possibly hating me) was just a big misunderstanding; all's well that ends well.

Something else good has come of this incident.  See if you can spot it.

You could sell your blood, if you're clean. This is even more of an option of there's a blood center around you, then you don't have to market it.

Edit: You can get about $50 a week from that, which can help with quality of life issues if you're nearly destitute

I lol'd - like I lol everytime someone mistakes me with being native english speaking person and/or living in US. But that's okay, I got used to that

And what I can get from giving my blood away (in my country), is 10 blocks of dark/bitter chocolate

Aaaand cheaper tickets for bus/train/other, IIRC, I will give 4.5 litre of blood away in one year.

Well, I know people don't like to give out any personal information, but where are you then?  Because there may be other options, even if it's digging through scrap for copper to sell.  Not to be facetious, but cash is cash.

[Jackrabbit]

You know there's an ad campaign in Victoria about copper thieves and new technology for finding people who are copper thieves? I didn't realize it was such an issue.

Chill, nothing wrong with asking, no?

Poland, East Europe. Living in a city called Gdańsk, were half of the living place is surrounded with wilderness, and half is surrounded with sounds of shipyard/refining stuff.

Not that I'm supporting communism or something, but there was barely any unemployment back then. I think. Now, after all those years, with automatization of factories and generally customs/marketing > industry, all those poor people that were working in heavy industry are now jobless. And fighting with unexperienced youths (hello ) like me for jobs. Not fun. Sometimes I really want to move somewhere to west...

The west is exactly the same way.  If you want a manufacturing job, you'll have to move to Malaysia.  Well, I'm certainly talking out of my ass here, but maybe you could whip up some of that old "green shoots" magic Poland was supposed to have.  Entrepreneur your way out of poverty.  I don't know how - maybe middleman deals to sell foreclosed factory equipment and infrastructure to Oriental buyers and investors?  Worked for Russia, until they ran out of old factories to sell.  Hopefully you'll make enough money to move to France or someplace with more social security.

I could go on and on with the topics.

And all those factories you speak about - When USSR moved away from Poland, they literally took whole factories ('Cease production, scrap equipment, take to Russia') with them, alongside with other goods. Well, not all of them, of course, but still, they didn't left empty-handed. Bleh.

Anyway - thanks for support. Now I want to hug thee! *hugs*

[Aqizzar]

Oh what the hey, I can't refuse a hug from a Pole.  *stands rigid while hugged*  I'd say good luck to you in finding a job, but I suppose it's more about wishing luck to your whole country.

Heck, you could do like me and try to get a civil service job.  Government jobs never outsource, and especially in a country like yours, are probably always growing.  Or at least staying steady as all the old crones die off, leaving their clerking jobs for new people to take.

[Acanthus117]

I'm sad because I expected a quiet evening and some computer usage. Now I have to feed my brothers and three people who I don't even know!

[Haspen]

Haha, glad you like hugs.

Also, that's nice idea. I never tried civil service jobs. Writing papers, carryign them around and sorting information on computer... that's worth a try. Maybe I will even get a job at employment offices [/irony]. Thanks :3

Hi!

I advice you to skip over Germany while moving west, though: They are working on having people work for no pay and get their income from the state. That is definitely one country heading for a catastrophe.

[Jackrabbit]

I thought Germany was the most successful country in Europe?

Hi~

As much as I love your courtesy, there isn't really any point to signing in and out of a two-sentence post.

Tack.


Hey, Haspen! I didn't recognise you without a stone face. What's a nice guy like you doing in a thread down here?

[RedKing]

I've noticed my typing getting more erratic. Basically, I'm developing a problem where my left hands types faster than my right, which leads to a lot of transposition errors. I think the right hand is beginning to develop carpal tunnel which is what's slowing it down. At least, I hope it's something like that and not something in my brain. I'm terrified of dementia/Alzheimer's/Parkinson's/shit like that. I've always figured I'd kill myself if I came down with a condition like that, rather than slowly lose my mind, and be just aware enough to know that I'm losing it.
