I just got a job at Burger King.

At least you have a job, guild! Save that money up! So you can work on getting a better one.

I am in Tennessee
in June
during a heatwave
in an apartment with shoddy air conditioning
in bed
under two blankets
fully clothed
shivering.

I need a doctor.

Stush, here's the problem: I have been here for two and a half months stressing over money and getting on a first-name basis with every hiring manager in four blocks walking distance. My stress finally got so bad that the girl I moved here to be with broke up with me for being an asshole (to be fair, I'm an asshole). So now that we are broken up, I'm desperately trying to get back home because I'm living on her couch and nobody in this house wants me around.

Then Burger King calls and now I have a job. Which I am going to quit soon to go back to California. So I get to feel like a total jerk for however many days EVERYwhere I am at all times, because after begging this lady for a job I'm going to stiff her on my help and make her do a shit load of paperwork and training for nothing, and even though I've paid rent the girl's roommate hates the fact that I'm in his goddamn living room all day. A situation we both dislike intensely. And he's a raging jerk. And I'm single. And yeah.

R^2, at least your problems aren't your own fault? GET WELL!

Woke up from the first good dream I've had since... January and noticed something was off.
Yup. I was spitting up blood. I have no cuts or anything and my lungs are fine. I feel fine, too.
Just one of those things I guess.

...have you tried an exorcism?

Guild did you ever consider asking for help instead of coming up with some roundabout plan that involves you feeling like shit?

I suggest staying in the state you're in though, because whatever problems you have right now they're not going to be any better over here. Case in point, you're actually saving up money to do something over there with a minimum wage job, rather than covering maybe like half your rent.

No.

I'd stay here, but there's nothing for me here. I have family in California and a couch I can crash on, and plus this way I can hopefully re-enroll in college and complete my bachelor's degree.

Ahem.

Actual, immediate help.

R^2 · « **Reply #2191 on:** June 12, 2011, 05:14:20 PM »

Yep. I moved here and had a job for about six weeks before I just wasn't needed there anymore and things went back pretty much to the way they were before.

I have no idea what I'm going to do now.

keep on chunderin'

A/C died, it's now pushing 90 in my apartment. I was supposed to cook for my girlfriend this evening.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #2194 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:42:09 PM »

Now, you can cook WITH your girlfriend!

Get it

Because it's hot

Royal☭ · « **Reply #2195 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:49:17 PM »

Or maybe not. Shortly after posting this and calling maintenance, the vents started blowing cold air again. Maybe it just needed like an hour of warming up?

Royal☭ · « **Reply #2196 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:50:14 PM »

Or maybe so! Now it's gone back to blowing luke-warm air again.

TA · « **Reply #2197 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:55:33 PM »

Try setting the temperature on it a little higher. A couple apartments back, in the summer it would get 100ish, and my window-mounted AC couldn't keep up with that. If I set it to 70, it could keep the apartment 80ish, but if I set it to 60, it'd choke and not cool things at all.

How to troubleshoot any electronic device, by Guildenstern.

1) Is it working properly?
If yes, go to 2.
If no, go to 3.
2) You're done.
3) Is part of it working?
If yes, unplug it and wait for all the capacitors to discharge. This can take anywhere from two seconds to a full minute in most cases. Go to 4.
If no, check the power supply. Did you blow a fuse on that home run? You can check by plugging something else into the wall. Go to 4.
4) Now that the power is assured to be working and the capacitors are discharged AND the device is unplugged, can you open the casing?
If yes, go to 5.
If no, go to 6.
5) Look at all the electrical components. They look like the intro to 80's movies, where the camera zooms into a computer. Are any of those little doohickeys burned looking?
If yes, go to 7.
If no, go to 8.
6) It's not necessarily broken. It is possibly overheated and needs to be given a rest. Do not slam or hit it yet. That doesn't work as often as it hurts the device. You might want to check the company's website to see if it is a common problem by contacting their customer support. Is it now working?
If yes, go to 2.
If no, go to 9.
7) Throw it away or find someone who can perform micro soldering and identify the part, and have them replace it.
8) There may be a loose component. Are any of the wires going into and out of all the little doohickeys broken?
If yes, go to 7.
If no, go to 9.
9) Hit it. Did that help?
If yes, go to 2.
If no, go to 9.
