Hello all, my personal update.

Posted by housesitting loosi (aka loosilu2) Jun 23 '15, 19:04

I've been out of work for many months, it has been extremely frustrating. I've been on many job hunts, but have never, ever been jerked around by employers the way I have this time. It's crazy making. Anyway. I was HIRED over a month ago, but haven't worked. Am waiting for a FEMA clearance. no one can tell me when I will get it. Meanwhile, it is worse than unemployment. Can't collect UI, can't get benefits, can't get paid, can't accept another job. It sucks.

I also spent several months in depression, was inconsistent with my meds, spent a number of weeks in a fog, it sucked, I messaged a few of my friends late night and said crazy shit. I was in real trouble and greatly appreciate everyone who put up with me during those weeks. once I had awareness, I took the necessary steps.

meanwhile, I"m making changes in my life. As annoying as this shit has been, it pushed me to make decisions. I'm making changes, hopefully for the better. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm excited about it.
