Help me get into housing please

[00:00:00]Hey, I'm making these cinnamon rolls. I have a super messy counter. Make sure you're cleaning up after yourself and stuff. I mean, it's not that bad.

[00:00:08]Everything like my cereal's out.

[00:00:14]And hopefully this is ready soon.

[00:00:20]I'm super excited to eat cinnamon rolls.

[00:00:23]I was going to say I wish I had more people to make them for to eat them with.

[00:00:29]>> I don't know. I feel like they're a little too golden. Holy, look at that shine.

[00:00:36]Yeah, let's frosted them all up together.

[00:00:39]Super excited to eat all eight of these by myself.

[00:00:43]I guess it's just me.

[00:00:46]Get a like how it melts onto this. Okay. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

[00:01:00]Hope I have enough. Oh, okay. So, clearly I thought this was only going to be five. I wanted about eight for myself.

[00:01:12]Just fell on this oven.

[00:01:21]Get out of there.

[00:01:24]Oh.

[00:01:28]Man, I really like the color of these cinnamon rolls.

[00:01:38]Probably some of my favorite breakfast right here. Seriously. Oh my goodness.

[00:01:43]Those were the days.

[00:01:45]Did appreciate when my parents made me that.

[00:01:53]Get out.

[00:02:00]Hey, I'm done with work. I'm Braden.

[00:02:03]This is the intro to my next video. And I'm going to take a shower. I just thought that I would say, "Hey, what's up?" And had a good day at work. The co-workers are really cool. Everybody there was training me in nicely and all that. pretty much just starting fresh even though I worked at this company before, which is really cool. I really appreciate their patience. I totally messed up on a few orders today and hopefully those people come back. I'm thinking that's what I care about the most. That's what I want to get better at because that is what's important to me about the job that I do.

[00:02:43]You know, it's it's helping other people. It's literally the whole point.

[00:02:47]You know, when you think about why you really have to work, right?

[00:02:50]when you think about it deeper than just I need a job to support myself. So, I'm glad that I'm out there doing that and that I'm learning so much and that I showed up today.

[00:03:02]So, it wasn't that long, you know, just uh I kind of think about it like acting.

[00:03:09]I showed up 30 minutes early today so that way I can finish some of the work that I didn't do last time I was there just on the computer, you know, watching some tests and videos instead of asking for help. Um, I came in 30 minutes early just to watch the videos myself and really learn the process of the drive-thru and figure out what I got wrong. How could I be failing the test so wrong?

[00:03:27]So, I went through it. I retook it a couple times and then I I didn't even look at the questions I got wrong. I just kept redoing it over and over. And last time I was there, that's how I knew. It's like, dang, I'm not even paying attention, you know? I kept getting it worse and worse. Like, how do you go from 70% to 50?

[00:03:45]So, I rewatched the videos and once I finally absorbed the information I knew I absolutely needed to pass the answers, then I went back and did it. And I passed and nobody even had anything to say about that. I'm sure they didn't care, but I cared. I want to get it right. I want to know what to say and what to do.

[00:04:06]You know, I got to get better at that.

[00:04:09]To be honest, I'm really thankful that I have this job and I wouldn't be able to without everybody who's been supporting me the past year. I literally don't know what else I would have done. And I just can't say thank you enough genuinely. Okay, I am I I am on the street and poor and broke and and probably dead if people didn't help me this past year. And that is really um sad is how I feel. So I'm really grateful. Okay, this is what I want to do. I want to be working my job that everybody gets to say this that they are working their dream job and that they're living on donations right now.

[00:04:56]So I'm I'm really lucky and I really want to get out of this situation into my own place and just purely mainly providing for myself. you know, if I could get some passive income from social media on the side, that's cool.

[00:05:09]But I'm not just asking for help. Um, right now I'm just not in a position to do that, unfortunately.

[00:05:19]I actually have a pulled pork sandwich, so I guess I'll try this new Mountain Dew, even though I don't drink pop anymore. Like, I threw away my pop that I just got for free from work.

[00:05:35]Look at this counter. This is so cool cuz cuz it goes into the kitchen. So if I'm like, "Hey honey." And she's cooking dinner. Like she can grab me something.

[00:05:59]Got to hydrate my throat, I guess. I got some new toothpaste. This is just some stuff I spent my money on. I can be real. This was not worth it. But I kind of just wanted to do a food review.

[00:06:11]So, I'll do that right here. I look so hot. I I was just working. It was such a long day at work and I'm I'm just so messy and stressed and angry.

[00:06:23]I don't know where I'm going with that one.

[00:06:29]Smells like cream soda. That's what the flavor is. supposed to be dirty Mountain Dew. Has some cream soda in it.

[00:06:44]It feels like it'd be double carbonated.

[00:06:47]The aftertaste is so bland. It's like it's like there. I guess it's not bland, but that's what the flavor is. Bland, you know? Can't really say it's anything.

[00:07:00]You can't really say it tastes like root beer cuz it's cream soda. But what's the cream soda aftertaste?

[00:07:07]Like you can taste all the liquid coming through and then it's gone and you know that now.

[00:07:15]It kind of sits with you though like right away like you know you know at the end of Mountain Dew it's not doing that. It's not doing the Mountain Dew thing where savory in your mouth.

[00:07:32]Oh, but I just tried right there. I tried to get it that time. Maybe I was too scared to taste it the first time cuz I should be. It doesn't taste that good. The Mountain Dew part of it kind of ruins it. I'd rather just get cream soda. It's what That's what it tastes like. It tastes like I'd rather just have cream soda.

[00:07:48]The Mountain Dew just feels like it's going to make me burp a lot cuz there's so much carbon in there. That's why I don't drink pop anymore cuz I had pneumonia back in January and that and it just changes you permanently.

[00:08:06]I was just walking around the street with this. My heart is big. I walked into a store with it to be honest. So, I didn't know you could do this. You can go to your local Hardies and you could order a pulled pork sandwich. They have the pulled pork sandwiches there, just not on the menu.

[00:08:22][ __ ] Bro put so much extra on here. Bro put so much nothing on here. What is this?

[00:08:29]Crunch.

[00:08:31]Chips. That kind of pisses me off. I thought obviously I wanted it plain.

[00:08:39]I would have ordered cheese and pickles if I wanted that on it. Not going to lie. Pissed at my co-workers for that one.

[00:08:47]Look at how much I get nothing, dude.

[00:08:49]They're like, "Okay, we have 14 sandwiches left." So, I feel like this was personal. It's fine. It's not, actually. They're so chill. The boss is so cool. I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity, and I did say that.

[00:09:00]Honestly, I managed to get it in without sounding like I was going to quit the next day.

[00:09:07]That's kind of what it sounds like when you go up. Like, thank you so much for the opportunity. I'm just never going to show up again, man.

[00:09:13]That would suck. Obviously, I will.

[00:09:23]Oh, heck yeah. It's exactly what you'd expect. Pulled pork. It had been here the whole time. Now it's gone.

[00:09:32]I'm listening to Alpha from the Minecraft soundtrack. So very uh sad.

[00:09:45]Find your favorite Minecraft song.

[00:09:55]I feel like if I actually got it like the pulled pork sandwich, it'd be gone by now, you know, instead of having the pickles and cheese on it. That kind of just makes me a little upset. That means it wasn't made with love if you didn't know. I guess I could have told them. I should have gone back there and watched them make it. I had to go to the bathroom though. But my whole shift, no bathroom break. That's just me.

[00:10:18]These chicken strips to go though, they make them good. Usually my favorite food ever.

[00:10:28]I forgot to get myself napkins. That was my fault cuz I went back there. I'm like, can I start making my bag?

[00:10:35]I don't really need to tell y'all the situation, but now you know I was really there today. I made $1 in a tip.

[00:10:42]Oh, that's so cool, too. You know, when you meet people and then if you're I want to get better at my job, so that way I'm the guy that it's like, "Oh, yeah. I know Braden. He can do it fast.

[00:10:52]He'll he'll get my coffee real quick. He knows exactly what I want."

[00:10:58]It's just so cool to see my co-workers be that, you know, cuz what I was trying to say earlier, I was thinking about this my job. It's like acting.

[00:11:10]I'm just faking it or I don't know what that means.

[00:11:17]I was just telling myself there's no reason I can't do it. And if I do have a problem with it, then I should look at it that way, right? I'm just going to playing a role for for a couple hours, you know, 8 hours if it has to be in a row, which I'm going to work longer in real life. Like what if that's what if I'm an actor and I got hired and and in real life cuz I was daydreaming all this is why I'm talking about it like that in the middle of my test and these are really good. I'm so sorry I didn't eat today.

[00:12:04]too.

[00:12:07]I'm not religious or anything, but I think um I think we all planned this or something, which is good. You know, I I needed all this some this past year. I'm really thankful. I'm really grateful I had to go through this type of poverty and instability and stuff. You know, if I never would have experienced this, I can't even imagine my life otherwise what everything would have been handed to me. I wouldn't want it that way. Even if I could have obviously I don't even know.

[00:12:47]I'm really focused on that my my work cuz I get to practice acting. If I'm just doing my job really good, if I'm playing the role of a really good employee, I mean, it's just obvious. It's obviously what you're supposed to do at work, but I'm saying, you know, I'm giving myself a challenge and I'm doing more. I'm having fun with it. It's time cuz people don't do that. Some people, they hate their job or they talk about it. They just complain about it while they're at it. It's like, okay.

[00:13:22]Hm.

[00:13:28]But it makes me nervous. I overthink the script. I should just be saying it exactly how it should be. Would you like to try the prime rib burger?

[00:13:36]I just can't. Why? Who cares? No.

[00:13:41]That's what they say, too. No. No. You know what? Yeah, some people do say that. So, it is worth it. That's the thing. It's worth saying that stuff.

[00:13:50]Would you like to upgrade to a double?

[00:13:52]You know what? Yeah.

[00:13:54]Like, why didn't you even think about it? Like, why? I don't get why they have to be asked. I I don't know. I'm not trying to judge anybody by saying that.

[00:14:02]It's just that's so peculiar to me because I would never be like that.

[00:14:07]Ain't no way you're getting me to double up just cuz you said so. If anything, I'm just fighting it. N. Can you minimize that? I'm just joking.

[00:14:14]Obviously exaggerating.

[00:14:18]Um, I was also thinking about the prices. I'm like, man, this is expensive. Oh, but he just got a double, so it should be $45.

[00:14:26]But it kind of should be. I'm doing the math in my head while I'm washing the tables down.

[00:14:32]And nobody complains. Nobody really says that. Nobody said it all day. I mean, it wasn't busy though. Some for some reason. You know, why wouldn't Hardies be busy? Excuse me. I have to slow down.

[00:14:43]I'm eating too fast.

[00:14:47]It's a serious problem I have. Also, eating while I talk kind of gross. So, I'll probably get back to you when I'm done with the shower. I just thought I'd try the the sandwich and the chicken strips. Um, obviously mound down the chicken strip cuz I'm so hungry. The sandwich is really good, though. I'd say everybody should go try it. Otherwise, you can get get it with the burger is what the meal is. And I'm pretty sure that's ending if not about to be. It already is ended.

[00:15:11]Just took a shower and washed the dishes. And now I have Door Dash on the way cuz I want some chocolate milk tonight which costs a lot of money unfortunately the Door Dash and total and all that. So, you know, I want to be cutting down on these costs and stuff. It's just this is kind of the way that I've adapted to instead of living um in this sort of mode and it kind of sucks being so comfortable and in it for so long. I mean, I have people commenting stuff like I don't I don't even remember. I mean, it's just um pretty much saying I'm wasting money and people are enabling me and I mean I'm just I don't know what I'm going to do in a couple days to be honest. I have work tomorrow and then I have a few days off which is really good because that's also in between where my check out date is and I have to figure out where to go next. So, it gives me just the perfect amount of time to hopefully figure out what to do. I just want to say I'm really grateful and really thankful that I have this job now. And that's something that keeps me fed, but I've also been fed, you know, for days in general. And I've never had to go starving or really had to be out in the cold that much. Not since last year. So, I just want to say I'm so grateful and I'm so thankful and it means a lot to me.

[00:16:38]And again, I'm really appreciative of this job and I want to keep it. So, how am I going to do that? What do I need to do that to keep my job to maintain it? I need stability, housing stability. I can't afford that right now. I just made a video. I made a lot of videos trying to ask for help. I wish I could just go delete them all, but you know, I'm being authentic. I'm just trying to get help because my situation sucks right now.

[00:17:09]Um, I need support for housing so that way I can, you know, have a place to stay and go to work. Um, I'd like to have my own things. You know, I've never lived on my own or with anybody like that. Um, since I've lived with my grandma and before that, my parents. So, I'm only 20 years old and I would just really like to, you know, enjoy my life, I guess. Um, I don't want to be miserable.

[00:17:47]So, I get it's a lot to ask for. Nobody has to help me, but I'm just I'm just trying to work this job because I think I have to provide for myself. Um, I don't expect anybody else to, you know, I want to make this money so that way I can pay for my rent and all of that. It's just right now I don't have housing to be able to go to work every day and all that. I'm in an Airbnb right now and I'm only in here for a few more days and then I have to figure out where to go next. And right now I only have $800 just under. So, I don't know where I'm going to or like yeah, where I'm going to stay next or what I'm going to do. And I'm just being real and vulnerable about my situation. I'm going to have to figure it out. And if I can't earn any money in the next couple of days, then I'm going to have to spend everything um you know, as soon as possible really to book a place around. Otherwise, I don't know where I'm going to go. I can't really stay with anybody nearby because people don't live close enough to work for me to be able to walk and I don't have my license or a vehicle. So, that's just the situation.

[00:19:06]If I could afford a vehicle, I don't want to live in my car or whatever either. Um, I don't have my license.

[00:19:12]That's what I want to get figured out. I want to get my license, you know? I want an address so that way I can get that shipped to me cuz right now I'm missing mine. Lost it in a bus maybe half a year ago now.

[00:19:26]And I just thought I'd be real, talk about my day at work, and update y'all on everything. So, I'm going to end the video now because I feel like that's a lot. And I really appreciate y'all watching. Again, thanks to all my supporters. Um, everybody just watching the videos, my viewers. I'm going to remember you all forever. Um, seriously, you're helping out a lot and uh that that means a lot to me. That's more than I can ask for. Everybody watching right now, thanks. Hope you have a great day or night, whatever you're up
