If Canada is anything like the states, the embassy wont do much for ya, they will contact someone back in the states for you, but you state nobody to contact>

They're not great jobs but if you have a laptop and the gift of the gab you might at least be able to pay for your food bill or rent until something better comes up.

Good luck mate, I hope you can figure something out.

This is a good point - Cambly pay $10+ per hour online & even though it sucks ass it's better than nothing

Joe,

I know a great guy in the International Village who speaks highly of his work with Cambly ..... let me know if you want an introduction.

$30 bundle sold.

I'll keep it in mind. I'm still trying to figure out my options at this point, because my paperwork is so screwed up.

Re: Richard, I'll be honest though, I used to be a bit on the snarky side too because I always liked to be prepared for things and thought sometimes people who didn't prepare were just fuck ups in life who couldn't plan for shit...but if you want God to laugh, tell him your plans. Ain't that right?

So I'm a lot more sympathetic to those in hard situations now because I had a grand plan in life, an exit strategy, backup plan, plan Z, you name it...and yet here I am.

No but seriously though, that's how it goes sometimes. If you can plan for it, some one can ruin it.

Thanks to the person who kindly bought the bundle of stuff. I'm happy to have food again.

Yeah, but you gotta admit something the universe totally fucks you over and there's nothing you can do about it, eh?

There's times to have compassion too.
