I am beyond stressed out

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Yeah so I'm laid off and thanks to Division of Child Support I now have absolutely no money. I need a job like stupid fast before I go on a killing spree. I was doing fine until they started taking the child support out of my unemployment and now I can't even afford to pay my bills. I have the PPD written test next month, but the whole process takes like 6-8 months, this effing blows. /RANT

Start dealing in something. Trading cards, parts, hummels, get good at p0ker, I'm out of ideas.

[numbnuts240]

stay strong and sane brother. things can only improve and the storm is always the worst before the fair weather kicks it's a**.

Im going to the Baltimore county PD. It really is a long process. Ive taking both tests and Im still waiting. Its sucks.

[Dire91]

Try to pick up small jobs for neighbors and such around your town. Good way to make some quick cash, that's all the advice I got.

[Xdisaster240sX]

become a hooker

[bobotech]

That really sucks bad. I thought that DSHS (or whatever your child support enforcement dept is called) could only take up to 1/4 of your unemployment?

Good luck to you...

Oh shiznit, I didn't know you were doing that, I've looked at Baltimore PD and have seriously considered them but was told that they aren't hiring right now. I think they have an accelerated process for out of state applicants and the fact that you don't have to live in Baltimore is just the cherry on top. The only thing is they actually pay less than Philly does but the average cost of living down there is the same or higher than it is in Philly. I've also seriously considered Maryland State Police, and at this point am considering any department outside of Philly. I had to decline last time thanks to an open case in TN that will now go away even though it's like 10 years old and over a $25 bounced check to Walmart when I was in the Army. Hopefully this next time at court next month will take care of it.

I hope everything gets back in line soon for you.

Nala might pay you to go the prom with him....

Hang in there. I'm sure something will turn up for you...

I have a appointment for the state police on april 20 something.

That's not bad idea right there.

[Dano]

+1 for hoping things fall in line for you. Thought about temping at a place like Home Depot/ Lowes?

Best of luck. The MSP is a great department, if you manage to make it through their academy. I suggest you check out the Officer.com forums if you haven't already. Lots of good info. Eventually when I'm done with college, I will apply to a Police department here in Maryland too. What other departments have you looked into?

6-8 months is kind of normal for most big departments. For some, it even takes longer. Hang in there.

Good luck.

For shnits and giggles I applied for a job as a cell phone tester knowing that I wasn't qualified since I know nothing about RF technologies, but figured since i spent a couple months as a BREW tester that I'd give it a shot. They said the pay scale was $36-44 an hour, figured why not.

I have a pretty full resume' and have 2+ years experience doing pretty much everything I've done and even with that, a college degree (that's useless by the way), and 3.5 yrs active military you'd think I'd be prime pickings. I think what is throwing people off is a combination of my background check (b/c of the open case) and my credit report, those and the fact that I'm a white 34y/o single male.

Lug Nut, I'm on Officer.com, my screen name on there Nismo240SX.

Before you go on a killing spree, know that you wouldn't be the first down and out man to go that route. A few miles over from my Mom's house this guy (who my Mom worked with) had gotten laid off from Herman Miller and on top of that his wife had just divorced him and she took his house and had her new BF and his kids living there. Well, this guy got drunk at his Mom's house, and shot his way through the door, killed his ex-wife, went after the BF who had bolted out the door (saving his life), and then killed himself while the kids were in the house. All that and where is he now? It didn't get him his house back.

Here is the gruesome link, I didn't exaggerate it at all: http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/inde ... n_tow.html

Not trying to be the first, but if I ever got to that point, which is highly unlikely, I'd definitely take more than a few people with me, like double or triple digits.

[Dattebayo]

Just get a 34th trimester abortion.

[RCA]

I have the solution...

Line up outside Home Depot at around 5am and just wait...
You will get better success if you stand by the type of people you think will get picked up for work, if you know what I mean...

you don't need to...

Doing the grunt work like picking up heavy crap is all you need to do and it is under the table...

Craigslist usually has something.. along those lines. Yardwork, etc. ^

So, stupid me posted how much my tax refund was on facebook thinking that I had the privacy settings set to friends only, fail on my part. Just got a message from baby's mama gloating about the fact that she was getting all of my refund. needless to say I'm so angry right now that I could probably literally spit bullets. So not only is she taking my full $2600 tax refund but also gets like 50% of my unemployment checks.

Oh and apparently her and the guy she's married to now have been together for almost 10 years, the kid is only 9. :twisted: :evil:

[RCA]

That must be infuriating...

I am mad just reading that last post. Also if your ex-wife knows your struggling and still manages to talk smack about your return...
She's an ""expletive**. :: angry face ::

[Chaotic_Warlord]

We were never married, when I found kut she was pregnant I offered to xo the right thing and we went to city hall were I payed the $50 and got a marriage license just to have her tell me she didn't want to marry me 10 minutes later on the car ride home. We broke up 20 minutes after that. She played me something dirty and I fell for it hook line and sinker. She then used her friends in the family court to screw me over. N ow that I know that her and her husband have been together since before the baby was born I can't help but think that the kid is really his despite the DNA test that the court administered b/c we were tested at different locations and at different times/dates. How it was allowed in court is beyond me. The sad thing is she's keeping me to broke to put a lawyer on retainer so I have to fight this battle solo while she gets a court appointed attorney.

Well crap! That sucks bad. Many many years ago, I was a few months in arrears in child support. My tax refund was automatically garnished and went to paying back my arrears. Its not necessarily a bad thing. Sucks if you were counting on it but it should cut down on how much you owe her for back support.

She's been taking my tax returns for 6 years so I'm used to not having it. Do I need to have it more than her right now? Most definitely Her bragging about it and gloating about it in my face is childish and uncalled for. It's the last straw, I've dealt with her attitude and arrogance for years and just swallowed my pride to keep the peace. But with this latest item she's sent me into DEFCON 5 and I will gladly put myself inches from being a homeless bum to prove that this isn't my kid and shove it all back down here throat and sue her, her husband, the family court and division of child support for everything I've paid thus far and for a bagillion dollars for pain and suffering all these years, defacement of character, and whatever else i can get them for.

You can also try joining 4chan...
It seems like they are giving away money over there.

That is so effing awesome, but knowing my luck I'd probably get reported or worse someone would hot link my paypal and just steal money from me on a regular.
