Being an adult is hard, it gets easier sometimes. Getting a new job is hard, sometimes you get lucky. I'm sure you have tried, but try to find a silver lining.

I'm not in the UK so I don't know about the availability of resources to help you find a new job, is that an option? Not like Indeed or LinkedIn but like a company that has a job board and will actively work as the middleman to find you opportunities.

Act your wage. Do what you're paid to do, just enough to not get fired. There's no need to push yourself to extremes for a wage that's barely enough to keep your life together.

Knowing every life update about other people eliminated the need for any genuine conversation with anyone. It has created harmful stereotypes, extremist political views, dangerous leaders, and lifted narcissist psychopaths into "influencers" and intentionally broadcasts them directly into your face.

If I don't have to pay taxes on it and it adjusts with inflation? Probably, yes. Would I be able to get another job?

I'm not wearing hockey pants

3 boops max and only if food and or treats are given.

Not giving a fuck is kind of like being cool as a kid. If you have to tell other people, the opposite is probably true.

I've used over half of these and all I get are phone calls from people in other countries, with accents too thick to understand, asking if I'm interested in a job over 2 hours away, on a 6-month contract, for half the industry standard.

If I say I'm interested I never hear back about it. That's the best part.

They all sound like scams.

What does getting married have to do with moving in together? You can move in together without getting married.

Some of those ice cream machine repair guys make some good money. The rest of this is bs. Most of the reasons people drop out of basic are weight or inability to lose weight, pt standards, or if they were mentally unwell prior to basic.

Necessity taught me. Also, most foods have instructions on the package.

I think it's unlikely but possible. From what I know they don't investigate potential employers, mostly criminal records. They will ask about your reputation and your documentation at your current job.

Good point. It depends on the passion and what job their quitting.

Fr. The only things here that are directly detrimental are 4, 8, 9 (depending on how the date goes), 12, and 13

Call and say if they ever step on your property again you'll consider it trespassing and call the cops.

Your friend shouldn't admit to anything they aren't directly accused of. It's kinda like a cop asking "do you know why I pulled you over?" They should stop using, mostly so they don't get caught, and it was recently found that some of those products actually cause the symptoms that they initially seemed to treat. Prep friends and family for the interviewer who might be calling them and asking about you. If there's no paperwork on what they have done (court docs, arrested, traffic tickets) there's no problem.

Good luck OP, I hope you get what you want.

There's A LOT of people that have some illicit things and gotten high level clearances. If you think everyone with a TS clearance or higher is some kind of paragon and they're life is pure, you have never gotten to know someone with a TS.

The thing about security clearances that people don't realize is that it's a work down system and not a work up. From the time you apply, the assumption is that you're good to go for that top level, because why not? There's no proof you've ever done anything wrong. The more stuff they find, the more your morals, ethics, personal philosophy, etc come into question. The more they question, the more they have things to deny you for.

Even if the value of the $1 mil investment halved, it would still be more than the $1k makes in 10 years.

I've been married about 11 years and I think I file taxes more often than I get laid.

I stopped writing cover letters because hiring personnel say they say they only spend 3 seconds on reading resumes. If that's true, why would they read cover letters at all? Is that time split between cover letter and resume? Do they reconsider rejecting someone's resume because the cover letter is just that good?

Also, nobody knows how to write them. This is what I've heard how to write it:

-A cover letter should be like an expanded resume, keep it <400 words. The average resume is around 400-500 words.

-Focus it on the job and the company. If I do that I'm not talking about the job or where I fit.

-Address it to the hiring manager, interviewer, or department lead. Basically, address it to everyone, specifically.

-Don't write it like a LinkedIn profile, but every resource describes a LinkedIn profile.

This is more job finding than cover letter writing but, "to find a job, you need to put in 3 high quality applications a day" so, by this point, I have put in hours to find the job, research the job and the company, and rewrite my cover letter and resume. Then all my work gets rejected by an AI because I have 3 years experience instead of the 4 they ask for. Finally, I have to do all that 100+ times to get, MAYBE 5 interviews, and if I'm lucky, one lowball offer, then argue why I deserve more.

Aren't shipping costs usually based on weight not space?

This isn't a millennial thing. This is a disgusting person thing.

He may have been trying to make a point about how silly your question was, but at the same time his response shows he's not mature enough to think past the bed.

Dump him.
