If you have a job waiting, tell them your woes. If they really want you, they will help you

Hugs.

I'm sorry for your situation. It sounds very frustrating. I think it's really important for you to stay positive and keep trying. I hope you and your cat make it back to where your job is and restart your life.

Thanks for showing that some people actually care and are just here to point fingers. I deleted everything, even the GFM account. I had no intention of looking like a slacker or a deadbeat, things just aren't as they should be and it's scary as hell realizing that you could soon be completely broke and without a home. I can find a place for the cat and I have a car with a back seat so, if worse comes to worse...

The thing about being in a difficult situation is that society has all sorts of negative reinforcement built around things you may need to do to get yourself out. You might feel like a deadbeat, but I think you should also realize that this sort of label is just there for the pleasure of other people.

I have slept in a car for a couple weeks during a difficult situation. If someone saw your GFM page and was able to give you a donation, then I think it would help you. You shouldn't worry about how it looks, because you need to worry about other stuff now.. your health, a roof above your head, your job, and your cat.

This is true but honestly, I would rather be homeless and hungry than to be considered a deadbeat. Maybe that's messed up but it's just the way I am wired.

When it stops snowing so I can get out of here I am going back to it I guess.

Again Sibyyl, thanks for being a positive in a world of negatives :)

Mate, tbh, my first reaction was "Who would panhandle online?" My second was, "We're in EVE, where everything has to take the scam sniff test. wth?"

Checked out your link though. We all been there at some point. Not enough bones to get to making enough bones. I'll send you some spot mate, with wishes for multiples of it.

I used to have a lot of jobs in South Africa that were in the cream of jobs, ran my own part of a company (four of us that pooled resources and helped each other's interests), worked on a national system, was part of re-designing Nissan's factory software, et cetera

Since being in the UK, I have been more out of work than in work. I do not fit culturally or personality wise with the locals.
Life can suck.
Have to find ways to get people to care, people who know people with money or work.

... and don't worry, people like to blame those that are down and out because it helps them look the other way and sleep at night. Don't let their defense mechanisms get you down.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
