[ The video opens with York carefully adjusting the camera, the front coif of his hair, the lighting, everything—obviously aiming for a perfect selfie.

It's when his thumb comes down on the circle on his screen that he realizes the circle is red.

His jaw drops slightly, he clicks his tongue, and then he lowers the device a little. But he recovers quickly—not diving for the disconnect button, not faltering in his smirky little smile. ]

All right, so here's the deal: I got back from Texas and found out FMLA is garbage. Yeah. They hired someone else while I was gone and here I am, in New York city, unemployed. I mean, I could sue to get my job back, but let's get real, you know?

[ He shakes his head with a little roll of his eyes. ]

So here's the deal: Odd jobs. As many as you have for me to do, at all hours of the day or night. Tell everyone you know about me, too. I can do electrical work and plumbing. Some carpentry, too. I'll be job hunting, too, obviously, but I need some cash flow to keep me afloat until I find something.

Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it. Go ahead and let me know if you have any questions.

Those assholes.

Do you know how to do residential electrical?

[howkickassiam]

Sure do. You got something that needs doing?

[darkforcerising]

The place I live in is kind of a shithole. My landlord doesn't fix anything.

[howkickassiam]

Oh, well, I won't charge you if it's simple enough. Just like, for parts. I don't want to take advantage or anything.

[darkforcerising]

I'm pretty sure once you see my place you'll take back that 'simple enough'. Like I said, I live in a shithole.

[howkickassiam]

All right, I'll come check it out. Looks like this posting has gotten me a couple of job offers, but as soon as I have the time I'll figure out what needs doing.

[darkforcerising]

I also what to learn what what you're doing. Do you mind if I watch?

[howkickassiam]

Oh, sure, man, I can teach you how to do stuff. That's no problem.

[darkforcerising]

I almost tried to figure it out by watching YouTube. But then I thought 'No, that will probably go bad.'

As long as the person who made the video is a good teacher, it's usually okay. Not everyone is though, and you have to be really careful about that.
