Do you think that the Gods would mind if I requested a rewind and restart to this year? So far it has been the lousiest year on record for me and mine and I'm upfed with it all.
To date:
1)Jan 12/09 James gets laid off from his job
2)The job in it's effort to be nice to its employees leads to a "paid" day so the check we would have got from EI was smaller than expected leading to a visit to the food bank.
3)We go to see a debt counsellor for me, she recommends that I see a trustee who recommends that since we haven't got enough money to afford it, we simply stop paying the creditors.
4)Incessent phonecalls begin from missed month number 1 and have driven me from the house simply for a refuge.
5)The old student grant debt I got in 1989 and had to quit school is being held by the Ontario government which means in all likelyhood I will NOT be able to go back to school at all since they want the money first. After I go bankrupt the debt will probably clear and then they REALLY won't talk to me.
6)90% of the jobs I have applied for have either said I am not qualified enough to scrub toilets or cook food. (I am a homemaker) or they want Smart serve/whimis/safe food handling certifications. I am not the EI beneficiary so I won't get help for any of these. UNLESS...I leave my husband of course. Going on welfare has its' privileges.
7) James has no luck with employment. Military on first try said no because of a stent he had to have put in in 2003. They are trying to get him in using another idea but I don't know if it will work since it has a very high failure rate.
8) Even though he is on a call back list for his work, the people there have been through three distinct layoffs. The main one my husband was a part of, a second one of 60 people and now a third cull of 7. Really restores your faith in things doesn't it?
9) James was at the library trying to get some resumes printed up and his cell phone was stolen. That cell is the only one we have, we cut back to one to make it possible for potential employers to contact him. I have however ...shut the access off on it so I guess that person is in for a biiig disappointment when they go to try to use it aren't they? Once the power dies, the simcard passcode will kick in and they will be double disappointed.
Problem is...that was my favorite cellphone, it could play music and take photographs. Now...its a paperweight for the person who took it.
I reaaaaally would like a rewind and restart on this year plz.
