Ok, I'm back. First I'd like to say that the meeting was a complete waste of time. But hey I'm for any time away from the clients. What's bothering me most today is my job. I work for the Dept of Human Services-you know the food stamp office as it's so commonly referred to. Was it ever my dream job? No, but I have a 4 year old and it came at a time when I was making $9/hr. What I do is answer calls from clients all day. Sounds easy right? WRONG! The mechanics of it is easy sure. You answer the phone, tell em what they wanna know, and hang up. But for someone like me, an extremely sensitive Cancer, getting cursed out at least once a day is a one way ticket to high blood pressure. It pisses me off when the clients want to get an attitude with me, because first of all I didn't do anything to your case or your benefits. You need to be screaming at ya case worker. And secondly, GET A DAMN JOB!!! Now I honestly feel bad for the clients who really are having hard times and really need the benefits. But they're few and far between. If you've been on assistance since 1995, you aint tryin to do shit with your life. I'm starting to see why so many case workers have attitudes!
