there's strong and then there's

Bella you stared this whole thing with your snotty little "And what the fuck do you people do?" attitude (YOUR words, miss). You're not special and you are FAR from the only socially responsible person on this website.

You should shut up now.

 

I wasn't badmouthing you after I found out you worked in social services. my opinion of you changed drastically. I swear it's pms...i know that's lame but i was newly preggers, but not anymore ): so i am sooooo hormonal and this is a really bad period and I just wanna hug and to cry and to have my hair stroked. I am just very very emotional right now.

 

If you think she's bad now, just wait til she gets that masters degree

gah

 

who has some fucking steak?

 

I don't work in social services. I work in construction, specializing in ADA and special access. I loath people who push paper. They make life difficult for everyone because they serve the bureaucracy that grinds progress to a halt. Sometimes you have to say fuck funding, this man needs a ramp. If I had every penny I ever earned and was screwed out of by bean counters I could (and would!) take all of you to Amsterdam for a month.

But none of it really matters because you social Darwinists want to force independence upon people who don't want it. They'll just end up back on the street and you won't care because your fucking book got published.

 

I hate the commericals but they have a good cause.



most of the time

 

Raw steaks

uhm...the state pays for independent living counselors and social workers...their income is supplemented by SSI and they are entitles to their full SSI amount if they stop working. They are not going to be out on the streets because of forced independence. That is absurd and you are not making sense here. ID not 'have a book published'. I have interviews, empowerment poems, excerpts and pictures of me in there. If I had my own book my head would be a lot bigger-trust me. I'd be off the charts.

ya'll are so darn sympathetic. I love ti!!!

 

it keeps my mouth shut

i want blood

You're apparently working (or worked) a few links higher on the chain than I. The people I work with like living in group situations. They help each other. Most are mentally ill, veterans, drug addicts, paraplegics, etc, who have 10+ years of street life. Someone picked them up, told them they qualify for SSI and warehoused them. As squallid as it may seem, they want their USDA approved Kraft Mac n Cheese, a couple of USDA approved chicken franks, a handful of USDA approved Ritz crackers, cable TV and a place to put their heads. They do not have jobs, they do not want jobs. They want food, a roof and a TV. Their SSI covers their housing and food, a small allowance, and the state supplements their care. It's more than they've had in years and they are grateful. I'm grateful I can make it better for them.

I may not be making sense to you because I happen to live in the real world, not academia.

 

i just feel like being a tiger and chasing after a helpless zebra or gazelle

 

I am glad you love doing what you do.

I live in the real world too...I don't understand what other world I would be living in.
