The Adopt a Skidmark thread.

[MIXONE]

Skidmark lacks a basic skill that most of us have. He can't get on with many people for long periods of time. Until he learns this skill he'll never get a job. Unless he wants to be a sideshow at a circus where they chain him up rub jam all over him and release african fire ants. I'd pay to see that.

He's off your Xmas card list then is he?

Piss off Shane not on the shore.

oops my bad

[Ixion]

I believe he has income to pay rent, but not bond. Dole.

I can't help Mark with accomodation. But if a place can be found and bond is the problem, I may be able to help with that.

Yes, I'm a fool. People helped me over the years. They were fools too, I never deserved it. What goes round comes round.

PM me.

One of the current flatmates is in the army, said i wouldnt last a week.

Everytime i claw my way back up karma kicks me back down.

Ahhh well, at least it can't get worse right!

actually, it can.

at this stage only half of kb have enough sense to see you are a waste of time. Strongly suggest you get you shit together and wake the fuck up before the people trying to help you realise what a waste of space you are. Join the armed forces and STAY THERE. they will give you a form of disapline that you require. You are a adult now. It is time to start acting like one.

Hi,
What is keeping Mark in Auckland???? job? family? friends? if the answer to all these is no, then maybe a move to somewhere where there are different job opportunities and maybe cheaper rent is needed.

Why not a move to the Waikato or further south, and have a fresh start. Rent will be cheaper & maybe a fresh start could be enroling in some form of tertiary education. That way he "could" get a student allowance, get some flatmates and upskill all at the sametime.

Just an idea

In all seriousness, I think it would be a good thing (joining the army or navy for a stint - you can get skilled up also), why not give it a go.

See it as a challange to prove your flatmate and others wrong! Might give you a different perspective on life, you have to have experiences and see things from other peoples points of view - to evolve into the new improved Skidmark of tomorrow.

Nice theory, however the Army will expect a two way relationship, ie for the life skills, trade skills, experience, semi-decent pay, mateship, respect and a supportive environment to work in, they will expect you to:
1) pull your weight;
2) do tasks/chores even when you are not asked (ie initiative);
3) respect leadership;
4) demonstrate leadership;
5) demonstrate maturity; and most of all
6) to put yourself before others when the shit hits the fan.

...are you up for it? If yes, you can expect a rewarding few (or more) years of your life. If not, then like yer mate said...you won't last a week, so don't waste everyone's time. You get out what you put in...

Good luck.

but that requires effort.

[nodrog:Me]

he can live with me

awesome bro, you are generous

[The Pastor]

i consider mark a mate, i just tell it how it is.

[Qkkid]

but that requires effort.

He could not even be bothered to take the job, when Blackbuell offered him a great job and training/skills/oportunity just another person he has let down who tried to take a interest and help him. Anyway he got a top bloke from kb workin with him now.

[Oldfulla]

but that requires effort.

well when things get truely desperate for him will be forced to do something, maybe he will read these posts when he is in that situation and act apon some of the advice given here.

[nodrog:Me]

and why the heck isnt my post count going up???? seems to be stuck on 49 for ages

any posts about skidmark are considered non important, therefore do not count

Who? Im not aware of this?

[bert_is_evil]

Someone explain to me why anyone would want to take in someone who's just been evicted from their flat?
