More thoughts on jobs and working

Plot twist - the building I'm in is actually for sale. It's not listed - landlord wants a local buyer and/or a partner (the building itself is incorporated).

We shall discuss bidness together.

Any word from the aspiring poker pro family friend Matty?

Have you talked with the landlord Matty?

Yes. I think we're going to draw up some sort of shareholder agreement/ownership plan instead of having me buy the building outright (which I don't see how I could do right now). Guy doesn't seem to believe that I have no money and expects me to buy him out sooner than later. (I really have no money.)

Any word from the aspiring poker pro family friend Matty?

Yah yah, he lives just a mile up the road. He's still plugging away on PokerStars, playing $2 sit n' go's and shit. Waste of time.

lol, this town is cracking me up

Now the landlord has installed one of his partners/sales reps in the solar panel business in the unit next to mine. The guy is trailer-trash material and he's a hustler. (The partition wall between our units is not insulated so I can hear every word he's saying on the phone.) He's calling people non-stop trying to raise money to buy the building and get a cut without putting any of his money in. He wants one point for getting the deal together. He's pitching it as some sort of affordable-housing development (the lot is zoned for 4 more floors.)

Landlord and him are not-quite-reformed hippies.

 

[Matty]

So he's not a sales rep, just an old friend with a big mouth.

That guy has definitely been to jail for slinging dope. I know his type.

You can't buy a break at this place man, wtf.

Gotta buy before full gentrification, while it's still shitty.

I think we might turn turn the building into some sort of co-op.

He saw this little portable induction cooktop that I use to warm up a pot of wax to dip my pickups in, and he said:

-Hey, I made breakfast on one of those this morning.
