Email to Nelson, Liam
Subject: Groundswork and maintenance work

Hey - you mentioned a couple weeks ago that you were pretty willing to do some groundswork, and I could use some help and I know you're good with safety gear. You up for a quick convo re: part-time job and some grounds work? Also asking Julio and Madin, since J and A volunteered in my post like you did and M's got a skillset I think would help.

Hey I did that post a few weeks ago and you said you'd be up for helping with some groundswork. I could definitely use the help. I just got approved for a couple of part-time people, are you interested? You'd be working probably with Liam for now, maybe a few other people later - Madin at least.

Hey so.
I looked up what your previous situation was like in Australia and a lot of the juvenile detention places do vocational training like carpentry and fencing and vehicle maintenance and stuff. You can tell me to fuck off if this is invasive but - do you want a job? I just got funds to hire like two or three people, and I could use somebody who knows how to use the chainsaw who isn't sixteen.

Hey you volunteered to help with some maintenance tasks before shit blew up for you. I didn't forget! I know you're in a Powers Situation right now, I put a reminder on my calendar to talk to you once you're better.

Oh man the last time I used a check was like, I helped my dad with some stuff and he doesn't trust zelle or starkcard.

it's not that hard honestly if you know how to do carpentry it's just that but literally just hurts more if you drop stuff on your feet and your hands get messier.

Oh yeah, they do that with paperwork. Sick, I'll send you paperwork for direct deposit.

[xp_madin]

I need paperwork for that?? Can't you just transfer it?

[xp_wildchild]

Yeah I just need to send you the thing that says "here's my bank info so you can put my money in it" - I mean it's not paperwork paperwork but it is a form? I guess?

[xp_madin]

Can't you just use my phone number?

[xp_wildchild]

Noooooo

like, what?

[xp_madin]

I give you my phone number or my whatsapp and you tell your bank and then they sort out the transfer? I can't believe I have to know my bank details. I swear, I have been in villages in Uganda and places where all you need is my phone number to do this shit but I come to America and it's like, so hard to just move money around.

Why is that? Do your banks hate people?

[xp_wildchild]

I mean I can like, Zelle or Venmo but that's a one time thing? Like - your BANK is connected to your phone? What if you lose your #? That is fucking wild.

Yeah, American banks hate people. they like money, and loans, they hate everything else. We didn't have chip and pin until, uh, I think like, Target got hacked or something.

[xp_madin]

Of course your bank is connectected to your phone number! It's your PHONE NUMBER.

Anyway, I looked up the details and they're in the photo I texted you. I don't know why they make this that hard.

I dunno, we're like fifty different countries in a trenchcoat and all fifty of us hate the other 49. (I mean okay not really but damn, like Texas? hates California and Oregon. New York hates New Jersey, that kind of thing)

I got 'em, thanks.
