Hi @14 ! Long time no see! Feels like I'm always saying that to you ^^;
Thanks. I would love to be here more. I was working overtime, then that ended and I had to job search again. I don't know if you have time to read all this, but anyhow.
I am waiting to hear about two office jobs and in the meanwhile took a care giving position, all of which have long commutes unless I relocate (I would be really happy to move, but economically it is a very long shot.)
All three leads feel futile because I won't be able to commute in summer because my medicine causes heat intolerance and my car is really old with no A/C. The bus is kind of out due to heat intolerance, and getting stuck in rush hour heat could put me in a health crisis. I would be much better off working at **night** or **close to home**. When the person I pay rent to finds out I can't do long daytime commutes in summer, there will be Hell to pay. But Disability said I am not disabled all the way up years appeals. It's harder to get references when I invest in jobs that I know I will not be able to commute to in summer.
A brother offered to pay for work-at-home (or the library...) leads for jobs on a site he pays for. I look forward to checking those leads...
I'm hoping to get DVR to help me too, since I have car accident longtime injuries that exclude me from a lot of jobs. they might employ me close to home, or relocate me closer to work or help me find a night shift where the summer commutes won't be a personal crisis. If I complete a short $1000 CNA certificate, which you also have to pay to renew each year, I could do care giving close to home, but a CNA is required for care givers where I live, but not if I commute further.
I'm living with discounted rent with a relative who is a bipolar (female) maniac, but I can't discuss it openly in case she visits the forum. She is psychologically abusive and in the distant past, has gotten physical. She exploits me, and is inappropriately demanding. when she tirades, I love it when a window or.door is ooen, so the neighbors can hear, lol. Save me, neighbors, lol. I used to have a crush on a guy who lived with an abusive relative. I silently judged him for putting up with abuse, but now I am in the same boat.
But, she is way better than the last place, and also f it weren't for her discounting housing, my 19-year old cat and I would be homeless. I document her abuse (in a locked brief case), but I doubt I'll ever get any protection order, unless she gets violent (which she has in the past). Getting an order like that would displace her, and without her paying the mortgage, eventually cat and I would be in dire straits again.
I pray my brother will need me. I would do a huge load of house work, like I do here, since his wife has MS. But their kids are in college and still living at home. If a kid would move out, and if she needed me to help out, then I could go there (of course while still being in the work force). They are not abusive, and are Christians like me. I'm on housing lists but they take forever.
Okay well any time you want to vent, I do read PMs... Although that one time the system blocked me from you! Thanks for saying hi. Your posts are SO much fun! Let me apologize in advance because if I haven't done it already, I know I might mix up you and another avatar that has cat in his name, the guy who was.in the cuckshed! But you are totally different than him. It's just that I like you both and then I get confused... Thanks for all of the intriguing images and gifs! Have a nice Thanksgiving, Spookcat!
