Ain't this the shit. So my girlfriend is from Puerto Rico. She's been over here in the States (Florida) working as a nurse for the past 2 years. That's all fine and well. She is a productive member of society. Well, about 3 months ago she decides to bring her youngest brother over here from Puerto Rico. Her and her mom didn't want him running around getting into trouble and figured the job market over here would be better, even for unskilled labor (it generally is). The idea was that he would get a job somewhere and work. It would take some time, but her plan was to get him started with some responsibility- such as paying a reduced portion of rent. Well, three months has gone by and nothing. I can count on one hand the number of times he's gone out looking. He never shows any fucking initiative and does anything on his own, the boy doesn't even own a pair of khaki's! When he does goes in he walks in wearing these baggy ass jean shorts with his boxers sticking out. It's no fucking wonder he hasn't gotten anything. And don't think I haven't brought it up to my girlfriend. She yells back saying that she works too and doesn't have time to take him every week. Hey, that's cool... but what about him getting his lazy ass off my couch and learning the goddamned bus route??

This is just a rant... comment if you like. I'm not expecting solutions or responses, just my displeasure with fucking freeloaders. Anybody else have similar experiences?

He sucks. Balls, even.
This is what you do, Dress him properly, take a day of work if need be/if you can and drag him to interview anfter intervies by his god damned ear.
And most importantly: Have fun! ^_^

Wow, you must be really vexed.

Have a cookie.

And send me some money.

I was actually thinking of something similar. Today is pay day and I was contemplating hauling his ass out to Target to get a couple pairs of khaki's and maybe a decent shirt or two. Given, the last thing I want to do is spend my hard earned cash on that fucktard, but if it helps him become a productive member of society and do something other than sit at home playing my Gamecube then it will probably be worth it. The Chili's is hiring right down the street and usually their app window is between 2 pm - 4 pm. I just need to time getting home just right so I force him over there before they re-open for dinner. It doesn't matter whether you're frying donuts at a Dunkin Donuts or sitting in an office chair typing. You've got to look the part to get the part. Potential employers are impressed when you come in looking dressed up. Bah!

if that dont work, set his face alight.

Ahhh yes, must look right for the job. I didn't shave, wash and hardly ate for a week before my interview to become a Juniour Artist. It worked. Gotta' love appearences. ^.^

Which reminds me... must get some new shoes... my vans are kinda' going whack on me... o.O

Oh, and if you think that freeloader is bad then at least he's younger than you... My dad rents studio flats at his second house,

Oh, I could think of several things to suggest. Some of which could even be made to look like an "accident"

Oisha. That's bizarre. Is she honestly forgetting or just slippig by?

Oh for a job market. Last summer the only thing I culd find was sitting in a factory with a head index of above 100 slapping barcodes on soybean bags. I wouldn't mind. I mean, hey, it's pay, but the heat was aweful along with the continual smell of burning plastic. See, we were working in the same area where they were making those bags. Well, I also stagehanded for the local colesium, which is kinda fun. But that's not constant work.

Then again, at least those are just summer jobs, as opposed to something more solid.

Slipping by...

My dad's not good at handling people... She just says "next month! Really!" and so she lives another month for free. Heh, you'd think my dad'd figure it out by the 60th time 9.9

Now, accident. Humm... Yes... But how do I get

Well, a large vat and an extreme quantity of lye comes to mind...

Doesn't she have any nice "doillies" (sp?) or candleholders you could hock?? You know, some people find the aged attractive. You could prostitute her or at least post some provocative pictures on the internet... I mean.. you don't already have any pictures like that, do you?

Not that uh, I'd be interested or anything.. you know.. *heh* Jus' tryin' tah help a guy out see..
