Month: September 2020

Hi! I just moved here and I’ve been wanting Indian food. I worked downtown last summer and really liked the place in the tunnels (can’t remember the name), but unfortunately they’re closed. Do you have any suggestions?

I tried my damndest to make a throwaway because I’m sort of embarrased to post this on my main but I guess you can’t do throwaways on this subreddit but I need to get out of an abusive relationship. I’m male, and my girlfriend is just too out of control when she drinks. Destroying my things, throwing me out of the house at 3am, threatening to call the cops because “all she has to do is cry and I’ll go to jail”. She owns her house and I’m unemployed for the same reason everyone else is but I guess if I type it out the automod flags it. The more I try and calmly defuse her, the worse she gets. She knows my back is against the wall, she basically cashes all of my rent checks at once when she suspects I’m going to leave, hamstringing me financially. I grew up around domestic violence, and there is not a chance in hell I’ll take part in it and yell back. I’ll just leave the house until she passes out. This has been going on for two years. I was stupid in thinking it’ll get better. I think deep down she is a good person, but I’m at my limit. I’m starting to develop anxiety whenever I hear that first beer open.

I was in IT. I can do a little front end development, webpages, point of sale software, general MSP type stuff. I’m also open to anything new. I’m mechanically inclined but no actual experience. I just need a job so I can get my own place. Apartment complexes aren’t going to let to someone on unemployment.

So this is me basically begging any small business owners, hiring managers, I gotta get me and my cat out of this. I’m willing to relocate pretty much anywhere in texas and do anything as long as I can pay my rent,car note and insurance, but the closer to Houston the better. I’m especially interested in a small town environment, but I’m not going to be selective at this point.

Thanks!

And for the love of God, I don’t want any stupid comments about how I should just hit her back, or be a man about it etc. As far as I’m concerned stepping down to that level is exactly what a man DOESN’T do.

I’m looking to do some small boat sailing in the area or maybe crew on a larger boat. Back in college, ~10 years ago, I was on the sailing team for two years and we sailed small boats, FJs and Alphas. We were not the best sailing team, but I crewed a bunch of races and skippered a couple.

Anyway, I’ve lived here a couple of years, but I want to find some sailing! Small boats would be fun, or maybe I could find someones boat to help out on. Any ideas on where to look are appreciated! Thanks!
