Things are all screwed up
Ok so here is the deal...
We went down to the coast to Kiln, MS actually. We were once again stationed on a FEMA base. Things then fully just fell apart. Someone high up, I do believe the Gov. of MS has decided they do not want anyone from out of the state working on the relief efforts. The Army Core who are the ones that give us the orders as to which houses they need us to put on Blue Tarp, kept giving us houses that were already done. So many people with my group left, matter of fact my Forman and on other crew memeber walked off of a job site, and left us about 80 miles from the camp site. Come yesterday morning a choice had to be made, with no hope of looking like we could get work to do, and $40 dollars left to my name, the two people and I chose to leave and come back to Texas. Everyone that went dowqn were all in the same boat, and being that I had no vehicle or forman for that matter, there was nothing I could do other than come back home. We had 160 people go down to work with the relief efforts and all are in the same boat, including the organizer of our group.
Now I'm left with a house that I can't get into until I come up with some money. My bike and all my clothes other than what I took down there to work are all there. I am laying my head where ever I can, thanks to having a sleeping bag, I can stay warm. Now I can get my old job back but only if I can get to my clothes. After getting back I have $10 dollars to my name.
I must say that this is one messed up situation. I went down there to help out with the relief efforts and because of the politics I'm left homeless myself. As one can figure this has left me very bitter, and unsure of anything anymore. I am not sure how often I'll be on here for awhile until I can figure something out. I can always check my email at the library or at UNT.
Thank you to everyone that helped out with me being able to go down there.
