The Temp Agency Called With A Job In A Wood Mill. I Took It. My First Day Is Tomorrow, Then It's A Full

The temp agency called with a job in a wood mill. I took it. My first day is tomorrow, then it's a full week M-F. They may decide to renew after that.

This is a relief because unlike the restaurant job there's no expectation I'll stay long term. My biggest worry is that a 40 hour week of manual labor may be more than my body can handle. If I can handle it, I'll stick with this job as long as it lasts or until January 30.

Why January 30? Because I'm eligible for unemployment aid then, and my counselor wants to get me on track for the nursing assistant certification program. I had the best conversation with her about it today. Plus! Omg you guys. Plus ! She was totally appalled at how my social worker has been (not) handling my attempts to move to the hour away city. And she called someone she knows in the office that kept referring me back to my same (not very helpful) social worker. And she talked to the person who agreed my application should get priority, so now I have a big form to fill out and mail to the person in the office and *we may finally be able to move* which would open up *so many things*.

For a year and four months I worked as an in home caregiver for people with severe disabilities. There were parts of my job I liked a lot and parts that were very frustrating, but overall it was unsustainable because I had to commute for an hour to the city and then during the day I'd have to go from one home to another. I was not paid for that time. So I was earning a part time salary but I was gone from home 60+ hours a week. I was utterly exhausted.

I found a job just 3km away from home, working at a long term care facility for elderly people who are still fairly autonomous. Reader, it was a shitshow. This has been independently verified; the government agency that evaluates these places failed the facility.

Anyway, I was going to hang in there because they had promised to put me through a nursing assistant certification. At the end of my 30 trial period they fired me. Mind you they never trained me for any part of the job. When I asked questions I got answers ranging from sarcastic to nasty. And no one ever gave me any feedback. So yeah I'm sure I fcked things up but I'm also not a mind-reader and a heads up would have helped. Anyway. Because I quit the previous job and worked only thirty days I'm ineligible for unemployment aid. You have to have worked at least 91 days after quitting a job.

It's been two weeks. I have lost track of how many jobs I have applied for. I have three kids. One has a birthday in November, then there's Christmas, and then another has a birthday in January. I'm stressing so hard. I had a job interview today at a long term care facility for dependent elderly people but it's in the hour-away city and the bus schedule doesn't fit with their shifts. The managing nurse is going to see if she can make it work when she does the schedules for November and December over the weekend. I find out on Monday.

If sucking in your stomach alleviates your back pain you have an ab problem, not a back problem.

Lilo & Stitch is a great example of a story that has no villains. It has antagonists, sure, but most of them are well-meaning. The worst person in the film is that little shit Myrtle, but she’s not in the film that much anyway.

I did not get the long term care facility job because of the limitations of my bus schedule.

I have a job interview at a local restaurant to do cleaning and dishwashing on Friday morning. On the one hand, I really need it. Otoh, this gets me no closer to my goal of getting into a certification program to become a nursing assistant, nor does it help with my goal of moving to the hour away city. All that could wait until after January, but the contract the restaurant is offering is indefinite. This means that unless they fire me, I can't quit and still be eligible for unemployment. Which means it's likely that taking the restaurant job closes doors for me for who knows how long.

I don't have a real choice though. None of the jobs I'm qualified for in the hour away city are going to be good with my bus schedule unless I do part time and part time isn't going to be enough.
