I’m flat broke and need to make rent. I’ve been trying to get a new job for months and have had no luck. My final paycheck from my previous job is not going to come in in time for my rent, and my cars drive train malfunctioned today so that’s another repair I have to figure out money for. At this point I’m not above literal begging. Give me money. Please.

Venmo @rhysma-art

I’ll draw you a doodle of whatever (within reason) for it. Just include your username and what you want me to draw.

Hi, saw you had requested shoji requests and tbh im new to your prof and dont know what youre comfortable with so heres just some lil ideas, also using (x) to refer to reader or character or however you choose:

1) shoji takes (x) on date in park during winter to see the lights

2) (x) asks shoji to help them with some strength training exercises (basically to help in gym can go spicyish or not)

3) shoji and (x) get stuck in an elevator together

Hope these help or are entertaining to write! Dont feel obligated you can totally delete this if ya feel

Oooouuu, I really like these ideas! Plus! I now have more time to write since I lost my job, lmfao, so probably today or tomorrow I'll have a story out for you guys!!! Maybe more!

I got laid off

Two months ago, I got a promotion at my job. Higher salary and, above all, a boost to my self-esteem. I was performing well; feedback from everywhere was amazing. Everyone I worked with loved me, and the company recognized my dedication and rewarded me with a promotion!

I was happy and satisfied. I enjoyed a nice trip with my girlfriend to Venice (we live in the Netherlands, and I'm Italian).

My career was going well. I had found a job that I loved and excelled at.

One month ago, I got laid off. Apparently, my company has two heads that don't communicate with each other. One head is the managers who actually do the job and work with people; the other head is the stakeholder-pleasers who don't care at all about people, but just about numbers.

The US didn't reach the quota this year, so let's cut all the EU market. It doesn't matter how well they're doing; they are too small in comparison.

And the people who work there?

Probably the answer to this question was: Who?

We got laid off—me, my team, other European teams. All our work, planning, and energy didn't mean enough.

It happened in a few hours. One minute I was enjoying my first salary after the promotion, and the next minute I was crying because I would soon be kicked out of the system.

I feel like I fell from the top of a building.

Everybody around me is saying not to worry, that I'll find another job, that I'm qualified, and everything will be good.

The truth is, nothing is good. I feel like shit. I have Rejection Sensitivity, so you can imagine how fun it is to receive tons of rejection emails for your applications.

And what about the tips about CVs, cover letters, and all the different application methods that exist? One goes against the other, and you're left more confused than ever.

People are telling me to take it easy, that I have time and I just started my application process, but I'm not good, I'm not feeling good. Then I think: what the fuck has this world made us become? Why do I feel so worthless when I didn't even get fired? I was a good worker, but still, it wasn't enough. Why can't I help but think that without a job, I'm nobody?

The absurd thing is that I would never think this of any of the people I know. People I love, including my girlfriend, have gone through periods when they didn't have a job and needed to find a new one. During those times, never, even for a second, did it occur to me to judge them or think less of them because they didn't have a job. So, why am I so hard on myself? Why can't I take all of this with more serenity? What's wrong with me?

I've opened this blog just to vent and let my thoughts out. I wanted to come across as a bit more funny, but today is not a very good day. Hopefully, I'll soon sharpen my "virtual pen."

Can anybody relate? Have you gone through it? Any suggestions? Anybody else need support?

Hello! Here's some of my art...

Don't want to seem like I'm begging for money, but it's been so difficult to keep my head up financially… Fucked up my hand so badly that I can't even return to my current job (as it would only worsen my injuries. and no place is responding to my applications, and due to being on sick leave i have no idea if I can afford living this month,, Also on top of Dr visit costs (to go on sick leave), n medicine for the nerve repair n stuff,,, I DONT EVEN KNOW WHATS WRONG!!! because I can't even afford to get to a Dr that can actually give me a diagnostic for what the hell is wrong with my hand.. I can't do my favorite thing in the world anymore either, which is art... I made a new updated donation page though… as the previous one was for when I had to gather enough money for the rent deposit, and I am thankful to those that helped me!! But… life's unpredictable… and i need help yet again… so please share and donate if you can!!

As someone who graduated w/ a humanities degree I want to let fellow humanities people know that

you’re not a failure for not having your dream job straight out of college/university

if it takes a long ass time for you to get that job, it’s normal

some of these people will say very unhelpful, un-uplifting things and you gotta ignore them

I don’t want to get too vulnerable, but I don’t have any comments about the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope we all get through there.

i like the Wham! songs about being unemployed. not for any particular reason.
