mrmpa's JournalAfter near 3 years of unemployment..............
I have a job, if I pass the drug test (always worried about my prescription for vicodin). Will start Tuesday, driving seniors to various places. Pay $8.75 an hour and no benefits. Last job I had the pay was over $50,000 per year. I can't find anything, I get no interviews for anything even half of what I once made.
I don't qualify for Medicaid, but I did qualify today for food stamps, $200 a month retroactive to October 5. Well with a bit of help from Mom I will be able to pay the mortgage and few other bills, until the money comes in regularly. I will also have to start paying back my student loan. That payment will be based upon my income, so that won't be too bad.
Let's just hope the drug test is okay.
Explain this to me if you can..........
I have finally been able to complete my application at healthcare.gov. For my income for 2014 (projected) I filed for $8,000. This is based on my maybe, just maybe finding employment.
So, with the app filed, with $0 help from the government, my silver plan will be $486 a month. $5382 a year, WTF.
The scam email of emails..........
Now the UN is involved and will give me $500,000 because I've been scammed before. Got to love it.

I can't take it anymore.............
I can't get a job, let alone an interview. I filled out a 10 page application last week for a $10 an hour job, they won't hire me because I'm too educated. I went up to the local hospital today (supposedly their shuttle/van drivers are in need of extras). The hospital won't take a paper app & you can only apply for what's posted on line. No van driver positions listed on line.
I send out 40-50 resumes to posted positions weekly, no contact after that with hiring company. I just can't stand it any more. This is 3 years of unemployment. I'm down to my last $200 in the bank, I've got 3 brothers who don't even fucking care, they're all employed. One retired and employed.
I can't stand it anymore.
WTF, they've yet to fix the healthcare market place web site...........
If I log in and press enter, the next page shows an error. That's using internet explorer
If I log in and press enter, the next page shows an error message & also that I have a message, that's using google chrome.
I call the number to voice a complaint, and the woman who answers is an error waiting to happen.
I've been trying to get on this site since last Tuesday.
Insight from my brother on his experience as Union Steward......
brother was over yesterday and told me one of his coworkers was fired for coming to work drunk. I asked the usual questions..
Has he done this before? Answer no.
Has he been in disciplinary trouble of any kind before? Answer no.
What has the company done to employees in the past who came to work drunk? Answer, they've been sent to rehab.
is there a new person in HR, or new boss who handled this action. Answer no, same guy all the time.
My brother works at a large beer distribution warehouse. He said, "this is pretty bad to do this to a guy, when the business is in the business of selling a highly addictive substance". They even get an employee discount on the product.
I am so happy, my 83 year old mother is reading again............
She had cataract surgery a year ago. She stopped reading because she said her eyes got heavy and tired. This past summer I enrolled her in the Library's summer reading program. You had to meet your stated goal of books to read, in her case 3 and if you read those books you got a free book from the Library. She got a free book.
Within the past 4 weeks she has outdone her summer goal of 3, by reading 4 and she started her 5th this morning. I get her large print which seems easier for her. There is a TV show on the Hallmark Movie Channel, called "Cedar Cove", which she thoroughly enjoys. When I went to the library I found the series of Cedar Cove books in large print. I brought one home not knowing if she'd like it(Mom's usual genre is murder mysteries). She did like it and started a thriller I brought this morning.
I am so glad she's reading again.
Adobe Acrobat Security Alert........
Has anyone received an email from Adobe Acrobat urging you to change your password due to a security breach. I am always a bit leery about these types of emails.
Thanks.
Healthcare.gov..............right now this is the log in page..
The system is down at the moment.

This is what happens when I login at healthcare.gov
Not only is this occurring, but when I attempt to log in, it won't accept my ID or password. When I request the ID be sent to my email (on the off chance I'm wrong) 7 hours later it's still not in my inbox. WTF
