The Job Interview, part 3

This is where it started to get strange. I always thought it was unprofessional for employers to talk to prospective employees about their friends' personal problems, but I wanted to make a good impression. Meanwhile, Loki calls "sock puppet".

Hello there

ME
Hello!

CODY
How are y’all

ME
Well, I lost my Clipper card on account of Loki grabbed it by accident and the fare inspector confiscated it. Supervisor isn’t there today so I have to waste the money I got from recycling on a day pass. I’m a bit peeved about it, but other than that, we’re doing okay. How about you?

CODY
I could be much better
I’m sorry for your crappie day

ME
It’s alright. Everything will probably turn out okay. I hope things get better for you, too

CODY
Me too, Kaylee is in horrible shape. That’s my worry

ME
That’s really awful. I told her if we got this job, I’d set aside part of my earnings to help her with whatever she needs, but other than that, you know, I don’t really know what to do other than be there for her.

CODY
She miscarriaged this morning. And she’s getting kicked out she has no money to get a place so she’s in a predicament she has a job starting Sep 1 with a friend of ours getting good money but until then she’s out of luck

ME
She’s the sweetest girl in the world and we hope things do work out for her. It’s terrible, you know, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to kick her out, but I’m happy she has a job lined up.

CODY
Yeah she will be on the streets untill she get a the job tho. She’s an amazing girl. I would lend the money but I just got more cattle and I have to build up again before I do any lending of money

ME
I know what that’s like, both not having a place to go and not being in the best position to help someone who does. I know she’ll be able to make it good for herself once she does stat work and I believe God is with her. Just sometimes things fall apart.

CODY
Yeah. If been asking all the boys who chip in to help her but everyone is strapped you know? Her family has money and refuse to help her.
That’s what hurts. See the way I see it if anyone knows people who have money they should ask for help as long as they pay it back. And kaylee is great to her word. She has never not paid someone back

ME
I had a girlfriend up in Canada, an old writing buddy of mine. I used to send her rent money when I could before my inheritance ran out.
Wow. That’s really not kind of her family.

CODY
Exactly I always help when I can. She even asked her ex to help and he said no. And iv asked everyone I know
It breaks my heart
I talked to a guy who owns apartments a good friend of mine known him a wahile he said he would give her reduced deposit and rent if she can get the money

ME
Yeah, I get what you mean. I mean, I wouldn’t lend. If I had the money, I’d just give it to her because she’d need it more, you know? We’re in a tight spot ourselves, and I essentially resorted to making a group chat on Facebook explaining Loki’s and my situation and that’s how come she recommended us to you, you know, and it’s real sweet of her when she’s in a tight spot herself.

CODY
Yeah she always helps every body else and nobody helps her it is proving humanity is being lost

ME
That despair is familiar to me as well, but so is hope. I’m hoping that she’ll find her way and I do have a feeling that everything will turn out for the better for her. It…well, it has to. She’s so good of a person.

CODY
I hope. You don’t happen to know loan places for no income? I don’t mess with them so I wouldn’t know

ME
I’m afraid of loans. They can come back and bite you with interest. I don’t know of anything for no income, unfortunately, but I’d still be hesitant to recommend anything that might bite her in the long run. As I said though, if we get work, no matter how small the pay is, I’m giving some of my share to her until she gets on her feet

CODY
Yeah :/

ME
And that wouldn’t be a loan, that’ll be a gift to someone in a hard place. My dad says I’m hopeless like that, but if I had to keep track of asking for money back when I gave it out, things would be a lot more stressful, you know what I mean?

CODY
Yeah believe me they pay around ehre is good. We’re waiting n the house vote tho

ME
Okay, no problem. I’m happy with anything that helps, because then I can use what helps me to help others. I just figure anyone talking about a friend in need should know I’m that kind of person so they know that there’s one more person willing to help.

CODY
I can definitely see that

4.00 PM | ME
My dad says it’ll get me into trouble being liket hat, but I can’t ignore what’s in my heart. Well, anyway, I just hope everything works out. It sucks not being able to do anything.

CODY
Good deads always repay well

ME
They certainly do. It feels great to help people and you can’t put a price on heartwarming.

5.16 | ME
Hey, by the way, it just occurred to me to ask what denomination your church is?

CODY
It’s southern Baptist.

ME

Okay, a new experience for us =D
