DUmp Rejects Discuss Failing Business And A Moratorium On Bathing
« on: April 25, 2011, 09:34:26 PM »
This is a small snip from a 4-page saga over among the smug snots at OET. If you've got problems, read some of this whiny tale by a DUmp reject, and it may help put things into perspective.

This is what I have so far.  I'm like a bad artist, I keep tweaking it, revising it, wiping it out and starting over.  I just don't have the confidence to know when to quit and leave it alone and see what happens.

Hello, I'm 50 years old unemployed and my business is completely stagnant, and I'm about to be foreclosed upon.  For the most part, I'm pretty sturdy and can probably handle a few years of homelessness.  I've seen it coming for a while, so I've actually made plans for being homeless.  I put into practice ways to survive with limited resources, and very little money.  For example, I haven't taken a water related bath in about a year, I do still use water to wash my hair, but otherwise it's water-free and it works.  I'm down to one meal and one snack a day comfortably.  I no longer need an array of gadgets, in the dressing room or the kitchen.  Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty much ready logistically.

However, I know that setting around idle will drive me further into insanity than being in this position at this stage of my life is already imposing upon me.  So, I have a plan.  My failing business is a form of aerial photography and videography done atop a completely portable, telescoping mast.   The equipment and its trailer and the car are all paid for in full, so I've popped a small bed into the utility trailer which was nearly empty because though the mast is minimum 8' long, it's only about 18" wide at the wheels, the widest part when collapsed for storage.  Additionally I have a nearly fully working office now in the trailer.  It's stored while I'm in transit; a PC, a monitor, other peripherals which have to hauled out and set up almost daily once I'm parked for the day and stored back away when done.

Considering all the money she's saved by a year without bathing, it's really hard to understand how her business could be failing, but it is. Maybe that bathing situation is having an impact on customer relations.

Living in a utility trailer must be worse even than poor, stupid Beth, crammed into her mother's camper. At least a camper is meant to be lived in for at least a few days.

If she saw this coming, why prepare for homelessness? Why not LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB?

Does anyone else find it somewhat odd that this walking pantload decided to prep for homelessness instead of oh, I dunno, trying to find something else to pay the friggin' bills until the market for its art picked back up? 

For those of you that have raised children, does this particular little line of "logic" remind you somewhat of an 8 year old putting a few things into a bundle on a stick and saying they are running away from home because nobody likes them?

Good Lord!  If these goons put half the energy expended making excuses as to why their life sucks ass so bad into actually doing something productive, there would be no friggin' debt!  Damn!  These crybabies are worse than 15 year old drama queen boys!

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

I've never heard of anybody actually planning to fail. Is not the DUmp full of people that 'visualize' things to make them happen? This DUmmy read "Think and Grow Poor."

Man.  That's just nasty.  From the way it's written that would take in showers and towel baths at a basin, I guess she's trying to one-up Bobo.

When the BASTARDs took over in 2007 and began their quest to put me and everyone else out of business I cut back on my internet, my TV, my phone services, my cell phone services, eating out, vacationing, and the list goes on. At no time, however, did I ever think of cutting back on taking a bath. Silly me.

I suspect the most precipitous decline in her business set in a couple weeks after she adopted the no-bathing policy.
