I am a longterm fan of your work.

I have no money for rent next month and or my bills this month. I may have an interview with for a promising job next week but the delays are maddening. Already phone interviewed a month ago and they claimed I was a (the?) top candidate. Maybe it doesn't even matter. (Other possibities are in the works but even more nebulous.)
Asked a friend for $4k and we met to discuss a contract. I felt though that when we left with nothing comitted to paper and his wacky request that I ask the bank for a loan "just to see what they say" that the deal had already gone sideways. And no, banks don't loan money to people with no income. I relayed that back and now I'm getting the silent treatment. I inquired if we could work something out for $2k? No reply.
My nerves are shot. I am out of options and this is the end. Been fun I guess.
I say this in the hope that it helps.
Companies in December in IT are very lolly gaggy about getting back to job candidates. People are on vacation, people have mailed it in, "our budget ends on blah blah". It ain't personal.
It sounds like your friend can't afford $2,000 and that is okay, it's not a slight on you. It is difficult to tell people "I can't afford what you are asking of me." (Or maybe he is a zillionaire prick.)
Can you tell us what kind of work you do again? |
