I was laid off from being a social worker in Sept 2016. At that point I realized my job was too dependent upon other government agencies doing what they supposed to do. I had an epiphany, given the fact that the government leader ships changes often and those in charge often are there due to popularity and not due to actually skill and knowledge, I should not be engaged in a career that depends upon some other person’s popularity. I decied I would live the Artist life style. Well its happening. I am flat broke, no money for anything. I have appleid for social service assistance, and it is amazing, how much they dont care nor do their job. In some small way I feel very sad, because I was one of those “social service providers” doing the same thing. I am also now to the point of applying for jobs. but nobody is sinterested in hiring a 20 year social service person, because I don't know? Im 50? I have education? what? so I couldnt even get a job at target or walmart. so now I am trying to apply as a pert time adjunct professor. I was a professor years ago, so I figured I could do that again, not full time, for that you need a phd. I dont have that. but part time I could teach under grad. The application is now “streamlined” meaning its all done on some computer system. I applied with Study.com they have a link to some questions, for what ever reason the link wasn't working. I emailed them, they replied it was working now, and it might have been a glitch. I tried again, still not working, I let them know that it might be because of using a mac, as I have had issues in the past with that fact. they replied nope. I sent them my resume and asked if they really wanted talk with me, they could send me an email.. They said they get millions of resumes and dont have time for that. ok. hmmm, millions of resumes? really? ok, why then isnt the link working? and why then even bother responding to me, oh wait why are you not listening to the fact that I am saying the link doesnt work. why not try to figure out why the link isn't working, because I am sure I AM NOT the only person in the world having the same issue. MAYBE, those of us having that issue are the people they are disinterested in having an affiliation with? Well what ever it is, they chose not to listen, I will chose not to accept any offers from them.

On the up side I have an art show this Saturday. I hopefully sell something.
