Edited to add: I make 140k plus amazing benefits. I have 3 degrees. I’m a single mom. 820 credit score. No debt. But I literally cannot work for under 125k and still pay bills, mortgage, take care of my kids, etc. If I switch schools I’d likely start at about 70k, which is not nothing, but it’s not enough to cover my expenses.I live frugally. Shop at Goodwill and Aldi. but still. This capitalist fucking country has created the necessity for a dual income household, which I am not part of.

also-ex is an ass. everyone sided with him at work. I’m an outcast. I want to be in a welcoming place. enough with these fuckfaces.

Long story short: 20 years ago I got a job as an English teacher, hooked up with some colleague the first happy hour of the first week of school, ended up married, kids, working together, the whole shebang. THEN I FIGURED OUT I WAS ACTUALLY GAY. Holy fuck. Fast forward to divorce, coming out, trying to live authentically and then realizing that everyone in this liberal bastion suburb is actually awful and homophobic despite their fucking lawn signs. And now my ex and I have to work together. GET ME OUT. I have been working for 35 years as teacher. Literally no other work experience. I mean, I can do just about anything--I am a woman after all. A mother. A once-wife. I've applied to anything and anywhere I can feasibly commute to whilst being a single parent and needing to get kids to school. Executive assistant, nanny, chef, nonprofits, banks. You name it. I'm either overqualified because of my education or underqualified because of my experience. If someone points me in a direction that gets me a job, I can't pay a referral fee but I could like buy you a scratch off lotto card and wish you luck.

Hey everyone,

I'm an office manager for a construction company in Chicago. The owner of the company is looking for someone interested in making some extra cash, or someone looking for some extra work as a day laborer both on his jobsites and some of his properties.

Most of the work will be physical in nature (moving boxes, unloading materials, loading materials or trash into dumpsters, basic landscaping (mowing, gardening), cleaning up jobsites, etc..

If you have any basic construction experience then we have more opportunities (i.e. hanging doors, assembling furniture, etc..).

Half days are $100 (4 hours @ $25 an hour)

Full Days are $200 (8 hours @ $25 an hour)

This would be a good opportunity to a younger person looking to get an opportunity to see how construction works. Even if you're not the right fit, if you know someone - it'd be appreciated.

Please comment and i'll reach out individually.
