get part time crap job, use monies, rinse and repeat hopefully busto no mo

"and even applied to a few jobs but can't seem to land anything as the last time I worked was way back in 2004/2005."

i think these chumps that have been working part time non stop since they were 16 in the applications ahead of me are deemed more qualified for [censored] jobs then my mysterious 2-3 year leave of absence from the workforce, if you will.

Also, in all honesty I'm not even depressed as I know this comes with the territory and over past couple years have learned to accept the swings and uncertainty of NLH/Poker in general.

If it is going to be some BS p/t job just make up a job for the gap. Say you worked with your friend (or just insert name of friend and don't say it was your friend) doing roofing or landscaping or whatever. Give friend's #. There, your gap is covered. It's not like lying to a serious job where it could come back and bite you in the ass after working there for 5 years. All you need is a reference. If you don't use Professional Roofing Inc and instead use Joe Blow as the name of the employer there is no problem giving your friends home number as a business reference. If there is any question (which is highly doubtful there would be) you say that Joe Blow does 'side jobs' and this is the reason he's not in the yellow pages or whatever. Some random crap part time job is not even gonna go there though.

I remember this guy from BBV awhile ago. To truly appreciate how terrible he is at poker you need to read these threads about his grudge vs sponger.

I think the most painful realization
that I was running bad was yesterday,
was trying to do something some spare change
I had at a LIVE $1/2 NL table ($20-60 buyin lol)
and this young rich prick and his friend
were bitchin so much at the floormen that they
got them to open up a $75/150 table (at this casino
normally the highest is a $5/10 NLH or $4/8 LH)...
not being able to sit in that game, knowing he'd
willingly donk off 50k with no problems and not think
anything of it was a lot worse than the 80 buy in downswing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

So I've been playing for about 2 years while in College
and have been able to pay everything with my winnings (Tuiton, books, food, rent, insurance, car, etc) while still maintaining a playing bankroll and putting some aside for savings.

...

So I'm Busto, now what? Any serious suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks 2p2...

Welcome to the real world - better get to work on that resume.
