Unemployable my arse.

Been out knocking on doors today? You're not working because you don't want to work. It's as simple as that.

You have spent too long hanging around with Mr Random..his arrogance has infected your brain, and you have become a clone.

Blow it out your arse.
You have no idea what you are talking about in this instance.

What's so special about this case? What is stopping him getting a job other than his unwillingness to go forth and work? I'm not trying to be a poo here, i'm just trying to understand what is going on. I understand how I may be offending, it is not my intention.

If someone shows they are keen to work i will help them get work. I've done it many times for all sorts of people. I'm not the only one who'll do such thing. A lot of people want to help people who help themselves. It's hard to help someone who won't help themselves, which seems to be the case here?

It's not my arrogance that's infectious. It's the fact that I'm generally right about shit.

What about other stuff? Can one infer you're wrong about those?

Oh, I'm often wrong about all sorts of things. Shit, though, when it comes to shit, well! I've got shit down pat.

Care to expand? What are the circumstances preventing employment (or the seeking of employment) in this particular case?

**yungatart** · 15th December 2011, 13:17

There is shit loads of employment seeking going on in this household.
Not only that, there is also shit loads of retraining and upskilling happening, a lot of that on a voluntary basis.

The circumstances around not finding employment are just that..we haven't found it.
Doesn't mean we/he aren't looking or that we/he are unwilling.

And, for the record, we are both currently employed for little monetary return.

I think YT is right - you've been infected...
You do not know what you are talking about with reference to me and my job search.
I have a 'job' - as you know - but due to the general economic situation it is not providing a reasonable income, and certainly not a steady one. However, I'm not about to jeopardise what I do have on the off-chance that some $12.75/hr rostered slavery position will be, or lead to, a decent replacement source of income. Round these parts there IS no better for walk-ins.

**kiwifruit** · 15th December 2011, 13:27

Oh well. Good luck.

**MSTRS:Me** · 15th December 2011, 13:43

The thing is, for someone who is unemployed, what you and Dan are saying has merit.
But your advice doesn't fit all scenarios. And it certainly doesn't fit mine.

**kiwifruit** · 15th December 2011, 13:48

When I saw your post about not being able to find work for a year I assumed you'd been unemployed for that time.

I could offer further input if you like? Ideas on living on less money etc.
