I'm making an advice thread here to ask people for some help on some concerns, but it's not necessarily centrally focused around me. I just wanted to talk about more RL things without being disruptive to the flow of the other thread. There's a lot of work stress i'm trying to cope with, and financial management that's just a bit overwhelming. It feels more appropriate for me to phrase concerns in the first post rather than on the OP so I'll do that in a bit once i formulate it.
So this potential new job, it's mandatory for this job to have Corel Wordperfect (which is probably one of the best word processors anyway tbh. the whole Corel suite is amazing.)
Bills are outrageous this month and both me and my roommate are a little strapped, leaving very little wiggle room. I'm in essence going to have to >>77073 wait 20 bucks really is that all it is i thought it was like 100 i did the free trial version in order to do the training thus far (Ive got experience with it in the past, and it's always been my favorite. >>77076 20 bucks is totally reasonable was that a digital copy? or did you have that mail ordered on a CD to you?
>>77072 Do you need a specific one? I just got home and office and it was like 20 bucks.

in the meantime, i'm a little fussy about having to buy both software and hardware just to complete training when these guys are slowpokes i skipped out on about $200 worth of legit work last week so i'd have time for training and it pisses me off everything about this is frustrating, including that they asked me to do a training project and send it in, which i did, and instead of sending me feedback they just gave me a finalized copy and said "look at it, understand why this is different from yours, and send us back your finalized copy and we'll pay you for it" and then i'll be sent more work and i'll get paid for this work, but all their pay is by CHECK and i dont have a banking account for reasons ive expressed and dont want to get into i feel like i'm going to end up sacc'ing work that i could be doing right now for work with this company and a paycheck that i wont be able to do anything with it's super frustrating maybe it's just the jitters accompanying a new job but it's super frustrating.
>>77072 The digital version was more expensive, but the disk was 20 dollars. Let me walk over and look at what I actually have. https://www.amazon.com/WordPerfect-Office-Home-Student-Version/dp/B00JC5Y6YA This is what I got. It's not pro or the latest version or the office version or anything like that, but it is cheap!
>>77081 have you done this? do you have any idea how hard it is to pirate corel even adobe has stepped up their game Corel is bulletproof, unless i want to have a separate entire system which is permanently not connected to the internet and port everything over by USB >>77080 yeah but i'm currently logged with about 34 more hours of work to do by tuesday i'm straight passing up on a bus ticket i had to go see my mom for my birthday, renewing my driver's license, and filing my taxes just to get this extra training done that i'm getting paid half-pay for
one of the questions i was going to ask you guys is whether you think it'd be appropriate for me to ask the company whether they have corel licenses available to distribute for their contractors that would save me money i can't afford to spend at the moment
You could grab the thing off of piratebay and just firewall the software off so it'ss not allowed internet access, I guess I haven't pirated that software in particular, but X8 is on piratebay, at least, and I've had firewall software that just blocked shit off'a the net on command without issues
『ｓｋ』
I dunno man, I'm not saying to pirate it, I'm just saying it is an option if that's the hurdle
>>77082 I think it would absolutely be appropriate to ask the company if they provide Corel licenses. Contractors provide people with that stuff often although obviously they don't always.

does it seem unreasonable that i'm asked to spend $50 on hardware and 20-50 on software (depending on physical CD vs digital download) just to be able to complete the training fuck i can't handle this shit i'm gonna go on the street and give handjobs for benzos
it's really hard to function without my prescriptions no adderall for my adhd no benzos for my crippling anxiety i just want to cry all the time but i have to work through it anyway and nobody cares because that's what people do and it's normal but for me it's so hard i just wish i had healthcare i wish things weren't so fucked up
I get anxious about stuff but it usually doesn't get in the way of me performing the things I need to do.

>>77106 not to be rude but i'm not sure our anxieties are comparable i'm sure yours are very valid but mine are crippling and it's a constant struggle i really dont know what to do sometimes
i appreciate your help though i can't really expect other people to know how to help when i don't know how to help myself it's a struggle just having the support helps though
