Trust me, I've been putting out applications for a while now. With me having to care for my mom, it kind of keeps me tethered to this apartment. Plus, not having an automobile limits the radius in which I can work. The only reason I'm able to get to the plasma lab, is because my city has a transportation system that only charges $1.00. But you have to schedule a ride a day in advance, and they only pick you up in the mornings, and stop running around 2:00 PM.
As far as being negative...there's a thin line between being a pessimist and a realist. I'd never rely on this site as my sole source of income, but it would be nice to be able to earn enough to buy a used car, for around $2500.00. That would solve a lot of my problems. As I've barely earned $300.00 this month so far, it's going to be a slow, winding process. I should reach 1000 HITs within the next couple of weeks, though.
