McDonalds SHOULD work for now.

However, think of it just as a crash job. Go in and try to get out as soon as possible into a better job.

Well yeah. I mean, I'm looking at other places to, like grocery stores (don't know if bagger at a grocery store is better, but whatever), but I don't have a car, so yeah.

I get money for Christmas because no one knows what to get me.

It's the same with me. Unless I demand specific MtG cards or video games, nobody will know what I want.

a bit above 300.
Depending on your hours and the local minimum wage.
In Michigan, the minimum wage is $7.40, and the division between part and full time is 32 hours. So, 32 hours at $7.40 is $236.80
Actually in fact that can't last you two weeks, assuming rent at $400/month and food at $30/week. Tax is about 20% (although you get it back later,) meaning biweekly payceck comes to $378.88, expenses are at least $260 for that period, leaving $118.88 at the maximum, barely over half of a week's wages.

How old are you and what grade level are you on?

If you are past high school please, do yourself a favor and don't apply for McDonalds at first if you have any other skills.
Or rather McDonald's is pretty much the only one that's going to hire you even if you're overqualified for many other things.
Even having a high school diploma is generally overqualified from MacDo.

I really didn't want any gifts this year for Christmas. Instead I got ones that were either useless or actually insulting.
I demand money for Christmas since I can allocate it far better than anyone else can for me. That means getting more stuff for less.
Even if I do, I still don't get it.

CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I'm afraid to call and ask dad for money, especially since that's extraneous spending, and I'd feel bad for asking for money for it. On top of that I owe around $500 for bills, and will need about $30 for food for the next week. Can't ask him to pay for all that, can I? But what's my other option?
Going to list some of the stuff I don't use or don't use often enough (fridge (was good for the dorm, but there's a full sized one here, despite it being dirty,) TV, etc.) and can expect 50-60% of what I paid for them. That'd take the pressure off dad.
