A relative of mine graduated from a C.N.C. school last year and was working and doing well till the whole Auto Industry bottomed out like nomii during Fleet
Week.
I suck at this kind of stuff. He's been out of work for six months....how do I encourage him?????? thanks. |

Wow, Pablo, I am so HAPPY to come through for you!! Kinda like this: "I know it must be rough, filling out application after application; you're
supposed to get carpal-tunnel after 12 years not before 2 days" Just keep your nose to the ground like a patriotic piglet rooting out truffles. Thank them
SO sincerely when they cut you loose. Don't do anything I won't do.

Just the general niceties:
These are trying times for everyone, but I know you've had an especially hard time lately. Please know that I have been thinking of you and want to support you in whatever you undertake. You may not believe it now, but things will change for the better. (yeah right you poor bastard) Let me know if I can help you out with the job hunt. We could go over your resume or do a few practice interviews or just talk about how things are going. blah blah blah sounding board for advice thing then wrap up (this shouldn't be an opus only offer possibilities but no pressure or guilt) Just try to let me know how you're doing in the next few days. I care about you and want to help out if I can. Love/Like/whatever your cousin |

Dear [insert relative's name here],
I'm terribly sorry to hear that you lost your job after working so hard at CNC school. Confucius once said, however, that "when life gives you lemons create lemonparty". My advice to you is to take what you learned at CNC school and put it to good use. Clearly you ought to quit dickering around, and, instead, buckle the fuck down and create the best webcam site there is! You will be a terrific camwhore, and the money that you have left over from monthly expenses can go toward medical school. That way someday you will get a real job and be a real person, just like the rest of your family. {there's your guilt} Regards, SirPaulBadassMotherfuckerer ps: please enjoy this complimentary coupon courtesy of 2girls1cup |

Yeah, I was going to throw in an Oscar Wilde quote, too ("we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"), but I am afraid his
relative would take that as encouragement if he were to become homeless.
