ya know anything about roofing/siding/home improvement? i can see if my buddy needs a helper (I did it for a week or so over the summer, didn\'t do much but measure/cut siding, carry
****, clean up, and smoke cigarettes; he paid me like $80-90 a day I think)
I even got propositioned by a rich cougar on one job.
wow! good for you guy!
My advice is to locate the wealthier parts of town (or any money towns nearby the Rico) and offer your services. Make a flyer and include examples of the fine work you can do (but are not limited to). Believe me, I discovered that there are lots of old, wealthy, lazy or busy people that need jobs done.
^There are a bunch of those people living in Cheshire...if you\'re willing to drive, may not actually pay off in the end though (gas wise) if you live far away.

take him out golfing
did you just say mind bottling.......
never thought of Antbach as the hiking type.
Gabo, you made the call for some assistance, and it seems like you have some good stuff to go on. Now the important part is ACTING on the information provided...
Good Luck...
I still say you should CALL masons and stonewall builders (there is this thing called a phone book, the yellow pages - you should find tons of numbers). CALL THEM. Explain your situation and experience and maybe you can find something that suits your experience....
Believe me when I tell you that you wont get anywhere unless YOU take some inititative.
Love you Gabo
And BEST OF LUCK!
finding a job sucks almost as bad as having to work that job.
in my experience, i didnt get a job until i was persistent to the point of being almost annoying...

hey gabo, try this:

get off your ass and drive around town. if you need money that badly apply at any place you can and keep tabs on them. you\'re not goign to get anywhere by just making phone calls. oh and wear a nice shirt
good luck.
^ it was only a matter of time, yet not as bad as I thought it was going to be when seeing who the next post was from......
PS. phone calls are effective Ms. Burke. Especailly when followed up dilligently. It\'s way easier to cover much more ground (metaphorically speaking) when making calls to companies all over the area versus just rolling up on companies and businesses, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MASONS AND WALLBUILDERS.
i know that phone calls are effective..it\'s also helpful to go into places and ask around, etc.
true, but it really all depends on what kind of work you are looking for...
Dunkin Donuts, Chilis, Home Depot, etc. are worth walking into, but if you are trying to get into a contracting company (ie as a wallbuilder) or other places where walk-in solicitation is not customary, then the phone is your phriend. I hear ya though Holl...

uhhhh, yeah. i have been driving around all last and this week applying to at least 7 or 8 different places in hamden, new haven, and westville, am about to head to orange, and have worn my ser esteban shirt to the interviews ive had thus far. shows how much you think you know. thanks for the encouraging advice !!
antbach i spent probably 6 months as oldnewb\'s mexican and have done many random construction jobs in the past in new hampsh. hit him up for me !!
Gabo, the Esteban shirt will take you places...DEF!
Keep your eyes open for masons working on walls and such on your drive.........you never know when opportunity will come a knocking.
work is overrated. I have been planning a bank heist for 7 years now and am looking for a getaway driver. Do you want in? You will have to be Senor Brimley, only name left, brah.
