PISSED OFF!

A while back I posted a post titled "Rock Bottom". In the post I explained my situation, which at the time I had recently been evicted and had gone with my three youngest children to go live with my dad. He and I barely get along, and I couldn't take being there any longer....I was spiraling into deep depression. I voluntarily went to a shelter with my children in order to have peace of mind (sounds ironic I know ) and to get help with housing. I was at the shelter for about 4 mos. On December 1st we moved into our own apartment via help through a program here. I wasn't even here 30 days before my case manager was pressing about employment and how little progress I'm making. Every home visit she asks me if I've applied to Walmart, I'm qualified to do more. I had an interview Wednesday for a substitute secretary for the public school system here. She told me that wasn't good enough, it wouldn't pay the bills (pays $11 per hr) and I only went to the interview just to say that I went to one. And that I'd be terminated from the program on Monday. The same day she told me that, I was offered the position. I'm pissed off because inspite of my efforts, she's still not satisfied....she was very rude and belittling.

OK for 1 ik exactly wat ur going thru cuz I've been there before . Let me tell you a story, there was this Once in a lifetime trip that popped up and it was either wait for it to arise again or take it as it arise , so I took it without even planning for it a spur of the moment type thing.... Well it was like a few friends had asked me if I wanted to go to Texas with them and be in a band as their Hypeman . And I said yes, never done anything like that before that opportunity, but the drawback was that I was still on Probation at the time that the opportunity arose. So I talked to my P.O. bout it and he said that those opportunities only come once and to go for it, Just to let him know that I made it safely down there and that if I needed anything like chatting or anything of that matter to call n chat with him . That's the thing when I got to Texas things were all good for awhile there , here's where it got bad while being down there me n the band members got robbed lost our gear the first few nights we were there so someone seen it happen and paid for the motel room for a month. So despite having all of my stuff stolen from me and to sleep under a bridge the first few nights, it was a good trip got to meet alot of rappers new artists and got to walk all over Houston, Texas went to Austin Texas for a show, went to Dallas TX passed out in the back of a truck doing 80 down the interstate woke up looking like a half baked lobster, got to see a hell of alot of different bands perform while being down there and got kicked out of the band in North Richardson TX due some bullshit that I was accused of doing cuz I was doing odd jobs for alot of people while being down there. U name it it probably got done but nothing perverted went on , got lost being down there not knowing my way back home my phone was stolen from me after I got a replacement phone for free despite all of this shit happening it was fun while it lasted . But before I got to come home I got the shit knocked out of me just because I was being nice to people who I thought were friends and truly cared bout me being their Hypeman n making them famous. The band's name was AMSK (AXE MURDERING SERIAL KILLA KLOWNZ) they were an Underground Rap Band back before 2010 , when I came home went to the hospital and found out that they did worse to me then wat I first thought. Came out of the E.R. with 8 broken ribs and a contusion to my head. Haven't been back to Texas since then but found out a few things bout the band, they broke up after that happened they couldn't live with the guilty conscience it ate thru their hearts because when I thought it was all fun and games it turned out to be just that life throws u curve balls and it's ur choice to catch em or let em hit u ... After all the years since then I seen wats left of the band, they're not together anymore and never will be, now they're under a different name and now they're having trouble keeping afloat in this treacherous world we call life.

Let her know that your trying to look further into the advancements within the school district to get ahead but at the same time it sounds like your program your doing sounds like you volunteered to be paroled back into the community just like parole so keep applying because they want you to understand your not going to get ahead without pushing yourself to achieve a living and there are many out there willing to take your spot. Get aggressive give yourself a pep talk in the mirror claim your responsibilities control it or be controlled there's a upside & downside to everything. You have children do what you can, but to lead as a role model positive reinforcement your children will follow your judgment it doesn't hurt be creative she wants to see you making more money that's all.

I was a single mom of 3 children 2 of them disabled. I'm college educated, bachelor's psychology. When the kids were little I received a little bit of social security for my boys disability, but not near enough to cover the bills. Since it was way too expensive for daycare for my youngest, he has diagnosis of autism, OCD, bi-polar, PICA, etc, I had to work nights when relatives could look after them. Needless to say I took bartending and server positions. I was over qualified, but you do what you have to do to make ends meet. I was without health insurance and sometimes had to work 2 jobs. The ultimate reward is to say that besides SS and help with respite care I never used any other programs, and my daughter respects and gained an excellent work ethic from my experiences.

I would request a meeting with the case worker's supervisor , write a letter of complaint and request a review of your case.

CM wants you to apply to Walmart...which pays less than 11.00, I am thinking. Take the PT job and maybe it will turn into FT or will lead to a better job via contacts in the office, etc...And you are getting marketable skills and recent employment to put on a resume. Sounds like a win to me.
