My friend of 7 years and i have been planning on going to ND to get oil jobs for 5 months, He knew somebody who could get us in , so I started working a 9.50$ an hour Shit job just to "save" up for this trip/food to get out there. I wanted to quit but kept pushing myself thinking about a new good paying job so i stayed. Tonight my friend stopped and asked me how much a one way plane ticket was....Wierd? ummm i dont know why? "You know i can't drive very good so i was wondering if you could drive me out there and i fly you back?, Wait WHAT THE FUCK! You motherfucking piece of shit i've been saving staring at my car for months trying not to put money into it for this trip and I'm not going!. "Sorry i'll be making 250$ a day maybe i can get you on next year" salt in the wounds- , I'm at rock bottom I work with drug fucks with pea brains whenever i look around i think how could i get this fucking low?? I just got fucked by my best friend, still shocked and confused money changes EVERYTHING/EVERYONE. Had to vent, feel like shit right now and dont know what to do.
 
Did you ask why the change? Before condemning him, you might find out what is happening.

Is this enough to ruin a long term friendship? Lots to think about.
 
Yes his connection did not want to hire me for ?whatever reason?, and he told me they both knew 4 months ago he needed me to drive him because i used to drive everywhere in my previous job. He felt guilty not sorry, I snapped- there is no more friendship-I dont care if i wouldn't get the job but he should have manned up and told me I would have gladly drove him Now i dont care if he rides a fucking dog there. After calming down a bit I dont see red anymore, have to compose myself and climb out of this hole, using what brain i have left after numbing it at this window factory.

Other then a lot of foul language you seem to be rather together, so I'm wondering why you chose to have your friend do all the heavy lifting. There are lots of jobs in that part of ND for a person willing to show initiative, so why not head there and see what you could land? I happen to know that the Mc Donalds is paying at least 9.50 an hour.

I don't mean to be cruel but the fact of the matter is; you and only you are responsible for your future. Buck up, quit whining, drive your Mustang, enjoy life and let others do so as well.

Sorry to hear of this. It may sound corny, but some things happen for a reason and there may be a light in this somewhere.
 
I think you did make one crucial mistake , ...too much depending on friendship.
It suits you because it shows you are a truly friend people can count on.
A true boys scout .
But ....
You only can make your luck , nobody else can / will .
Be good to people , not too good !!!! ....and good things will happen to you.
But YOU have to take action

(Things to consider.)
 
Sucks dude but I'd say f'it and drive out there by myself. You can find another job out there till you get on. Hell, maybe you'll get hired upon arrival. Sucks he screwed you over but, you're learning a valuable lesson as mentioned. Don't rely on others for your opportunities.
 
My best friend kinda ran through the same thing with his business partner. He's now in the process of getting all his driving certs and might be up there now. Once he was screwed by his "friend" and business partner, he made many calls to other contractors in ND. There are jobs a plenty up there. There's also the beginnings of that same market in southern Kansas if you want in on the ground floor.
 
Take a stick and break his fucking legs. Then show up in his place and say my friend told me about this job and I'm here to work.

yes , thats the other option you have ! :roll :roll :roll
 
There are jobs a plenty in that region and as Mark points out, more developing. The challenge right now is housing. Too many people too fast has dried up the available housing options. Large numbers are in camp sites and make shift RV parks (although local governments are being pressed to put and end to that). Finding work that pays better than where you're at is the easy part. Young guy with a strong back and solid work ethic will do well.

Now about the deal with your friend. That's life. Shitty, yes, but pretty common. I'm sure he didn't set out for it to play this way but what would you have done in his shoes? Honestly. Maybe come cleaner sooner but nonetheless you'd still leave him behind too. Move on and forget about it. In life, you make your own opportunities and the smart/successful ones make the most of them. In your shoes, I'd pack up and go ahead as planned. Sounds like it would be better than your present situation no matter how the job thing worked out. Nothing ventured nothing gained...right?

It all starts by embracing the wisdom of the owl, Duane.

You might be stuck with just blowing shit up.
 
The sooner you learn to trust very few people in this world the better off you'll be.

Ever notice it's always the "best friend" that runs off with a guys' wife, etc....

There is a ton of work up that way and I don't think you'd have trouble finding a job after you arrived.

one hand = wisdom

other hand = dummy that blows shit up


I'll take number two. You can keep your smarts.

lol
 
I'm still young and i appreciate all the wisdom you all laid on the table for me. I have definatley learned a lesson, I will be moving forward Solo maybe ND maybe WV pipeline. I know i sound like a 16 y/o girl/ Time to man up. Thank you all, Really I'm very greatful for this place and the people in it.
 
This situation does indeed suck!

The oil fields in ND, truck firms and many others are hiring like crazy. Check out Craig's list in St. George UT under transportation. I see jobs there all the time.

My BIL used to work the oil fields and it really isn't hard to get hired on without a connection.

Things will get better as you calm down and you sort it out.
