So.
I actually lost my job working for the Obama campaign in 2008. I became a Field Organizer, and when I came back in January 2009 that job was gone.
I was 25.
In these 4 years I have grown... a lot.
Life is very difficult. My jobs are menial and my last one was Subway in June. Since June, I have not been able to find a job. I have been to about two interviews a week. WAIT, I had a cleaning job - right - I did. But, I don't have a car. So after a few weeks they said they didn't need me to 'buddy up' etc etc.
I had an interview today, Pool cleaning gig. Guy said he got 44 responses in one day off the Paper for a $8 an hr 40 hr a week job. I meet him Wednesday.
I do not get government aide... not because I don't want too. But because it's gone, gone like a fright train - gone like the a 59 cadilliac - like all the good things - that ain't ever coming back.
So. I'm considered one of those "Not Reported" numbers.
My landlady has been super nice to me for months... but she told me Saturday I gotta go. Tuesday. That's tomorrow.
Now, mind you, I'm a good looking, 28 year old, healthy non-smoking young male. Sure, I've got some past demons - no car - but I go to the gym every day, smart about what I eat -- extremely intelligent.
I have no idea where I'm going tomorrow....
Maybe the salvation army?
It's scary. I'm very scared. I haven't had money in weeks. When I do 'hustle' money (like painting curbs... heh) it goes to cellphone bill, food... and yeah, cellphone and food.
I'm scared as hell.
I do not have a college degree.
I'm a handyman, I can fix anything - work hard...
I'm so scared.
I don't know what to do.
People like me are perfect tools in revolutions.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
