@Discount_Blade Eventually I posted on Craigslist looking for day laborer and got some work on a refinishing construction site at a billionaires condo.

That sounds so typical I could cry XDD. I ended up getting lucky and a guy had me do some random plumbing work for him since I mentioned I knew my way around pipes. (I'm not licensed but I can do a fair bit if needed). Was outside a library washing my face in the water fountain that nobody used (for some reason).

Nope, just a couple people that tried kicking my window from what I could tell. When I slammed the horn the took off running.

Ah. Wire hangers are a New York classic for jackers.

@Discount_Blade

This is the guy who was refinishing the condo How I got tangled into that. Just homeless, posting on Craigslist for a job, get work with a Russian banker that scammed billions.

Ah. 90's Ex-Soviet. Say no more. Most Russian gangsters (or their wannabe offshoots) in NY are ex-soviets or their children. Anybody Russian who came to the US in the 90's is guaranteed an ex-convict or something similar. Guaranteed. And if they aren't, than they are the relative of the crook who came.

Same, @Nahrenne & @Queenfisher, I'm just a small town girl
Largest city near me is Knoxville with around 200k population.

Though I did go to Dragon Con once, in Atlanta, Georgia, dear god was I scared out of my wits, so many people. I ended up just stragically hopping from empty space to empty space as I couldn't stay in the crowds for long.

That place was nice though. 37th floor in century city. Same building that Matthew Perry’s 35million condo was in. But Mathew Perry’s is a full floor, the guy I was working for only had a half floor penthouse.

@Freesia.Cutepearl Sounds like Tennessee. I went to Memphis once. Was in a neighborhood called Orange Mound visiting the family of some friends when I lived in North Carolina for two years. Damn I miss Durham....

@Freesia.Cutepearl I grew up in the forests of the Catskills mountains. The nearest town had a population of 800. I’m not sure how much smaller town you can get. Went to college, got a degree, and somehow ended up in that mess

College is a scam. Nuff said. Been there and still am. I'm basically killing time now since I have some money left over from previous grants and I've finished my main classes/degrees. I don't expect to get rich though. History-related professions basically mean I'm headed for teaching or museum work.

Wait, so you know about ORNL

I spent 3 days teaching Creative Writing because of my minor and hell no. I had to leave before the end of the 3rd day because it took all the self-control I had not to attack this one obnoxious dude. And than there was this one woman who wouldn't shut up complaining about everything.

Hmmm... I didn’t have creative writing. We did have a writing requirement but physics lab fulfilled it. Killed two birds with one stone.

hehhhh~ didn't realize I interact with so many Americans here.... while I only know 3 or 4 Americans in RL...

I made the mistake of confusing Biology with Zoology. I was a depressed child in that class.

You are right @Discount_Blade - though I've not wandered far from East TN.
Also sorry @Nahrenne ...I wonder if that's why my brain chose that phrase, I forgot all about it till you mentioned it. Took a sec to realize.
