The Ghosthunter travel fund

Post Reply New Topic

That makes sense. At least for short term.

Wouldn't it have to be a day-job/short term thing though? By the time he went though an interview process his travel pass would have expired.

So...any tips on day jobs Ghosty might be interested it?

About the only thing that I could suggest that he do right off the bat, is to look for some form of temp employment. He wants to live in Minnesota eventually?

Here's something a VERY quick search pulled up for Temp Agencies in Boston

That being said, I DO NOT recommend living in Boston for any length of time due to the fact that the cost of living there is more or less similar to that found in the Bay Area.

GH can tell you more, of course, but he is open to moving. His priorities are work, oportunities for continuing his education, and good vibes.

There are some employment opportunities here that interest him so he's not opposed to moving.

I just think the winters would be a true shock. But then, some people love them.

Speaking of employment, the School District here in Rochester is looking for Transportation Paras.

The only factor is that you need transportation to the bus company but I can help him with that. Here is the job description:

# Model a positive attitude and appropriate behavior for students while riding the bus.

# File discipline reports as needed.
# Assist students getting on and off the bus.

He's looking at para's in the school setting here too, Louis. Just about every district has opening. Most of them for 6-6.5 hours a day. The nice thing about being a bus para might be the mid day break.

Do you know about cost of living in Rochester vs. Metro?

Yeah, I'm very familiar with what winters are like there myself, having Lived in North Dakota from 75 to 81. Have you informed him of the -40 and sometimes up to -80F windchills, as well as White outs?

The first winter would be a shock, especially if we have a cold one.

Rochester is not as bad, I have only seen it get to -20 with wind chills of -40 - -50

oh yes, but it's pointless teaching a man to fish if he's going to drop dead from starvatio half way through the lesson.

and i'd still like to hear GH's opinion on this - i'm a little queasy about discussing someone in this way when they're not here to join in or comment. i know everyone's trying to be helpful, but it's a bit patronising to plan someone else's life for them. sorry to the people who obviously know him well enough to comment, but i know how people get frustrated with benig treated like a child.

I agree...I think it's quite obvious, actually, We need to wait and see what Ghost thinks.

oh I was just thinking of the usual travellers jobs, dishwasher, kitchenhand, that sort of thing. Short term, like day labour or whatever. I don't think GH would have a problem with us discussing his situation, quite the reverse!

Too bad he couldn't get a job and housing by me. Lake Michigan really moderates tempratures and the weather quite a bit. During summer time, we are typically 10-15 degrees cooler than inland areas and during winter time, we typically don't get our first snow until January. The coldest I ever saw the temprature get was -20F on 2/1/1996, the same day tower minnesota dropped down to -60F with outlying areas dropping down to -74F!

However, the work up by me is all either retail or blue collar heavy industrial type work.

This kind of thing is a REALLY bad idea.

If you mean talking about ghosthunter before he even has a chance to state his feeling on the matter, I totally 100% agree

Dosn't anyone watch Law and Order?

No. Why?

In that case I want a hale_bopp travel fund to be set up at once.

You can forward me the money by direct credit.

No offence, but piss off, i'm sure this thread was a joke. If he has to cut his travels short, well that's too bad.

I'll try not to wet my pants laughing over this if your'e actually serious.
