A aspie bum needs cash for a gaming rig...

Post Reply New Topic

And some other things,its spring now,so i might be able to mow lawns,but i need a effective source of income so i can get a new computer.

im in the exact situation you are in... a new computer is a dream of mine also. its impossible for me to go out to local shops and drop my resume off like the rest of people my age seem to do... hmmm its tough isnt it.

It repeatedly astounds me, how people's posts reflect my thoughts. "Aspie bum needs cash for a gaming rig..." That defines me.

I realise how fortunate I have been the last few years - jobs almost get handed to me on a plate, and since I have little aversion to doing 'menial' tasks its easy.
Rather than shops and places, I'd recommend pubs and restraunts to wash dishes, schools and offices to clean (although lots of them use contractors, even here in the UK). Libraries are meant to be good to work in as well.

what i did till i got my real kroger job was mow lawns. I mowed my grandmas and my parents and that got me to be able to push carts at krogers (plus i had a easy time getting the job there cause my mom is best friends with my most direct manager). But if you aren;t into physical labor for more than a hour or 2 or 3 a day... go with a hobby store like gamestop (except they only give you a few hours a week there (like 4)). Krogers gives me 20-30 hours a school week and 40+ on weeks with no school. I am just a work a holic and i save $100 a week for the bank, and the rest goes to my "computers and stuff i like fund"

Krogers applications are too personal,so i'm NOT gonna bother with them.

That's a BS reason not to apply.

I could see not applying for these reasons:
1. They won't hire you
2. You don't have the aptitude
3. You don't have the information you need to apply
4. You are aware they are an abusive employer

No,the application ask too much personal questions,like if i like being around people,stuff like that,so thats why i cancel the application,and no i didn't know they was a abusive employer...

It's a test, you are supposed to give the correct answer, not the one that's true!

But then if they realised you had lied about anything, you would be up for dismissal.

Well... you don't necessarily have to be lying.

If they ask, "Do you like people?", they have failed to include the type of person they have in mind. Though they mean people off the street, failing to mention the people they have in mind gives one license to think about what kind of people one wants, which can happen to be people you do like. (like fellow WP members perhaps) And if they later pull some s**t like, "you should have known who we meant", that's where you pull the AS card, though before I was diagnosed I had other cards. (people off the street are people I hate, why would anyone ask if I liked people I hate? of course I'm going to think about people I like!)

You have to come up with this BS, when virtually every employer you will ever meet wants you to be a people person, the only way to survive is to BS it all. The whole employment scene is discriminatory against people with AS.

Here's a figure to clarify

In that case,what places should i apply for?

Bumpity.

We're the same age, and neither of us can get jobs...

I don't know about you,but i'm gonna learn how to mows lawns for cash,so i'll have SOME income...
