Update for those following...
Well my time at the Sally is almost up, fine with me. They seem to want to move people out as fast as possible so they can get more in that can do the Jackson-Sullivan program. They somehow/someway make money with it. They seem to have no other information or any other help.
Many of the shelters, so I have heard, is tied into this program. This program is 25 years old. They have yet to change there format. They say they have a 93% success. But with so many that I have meet that got thrown out of the program (somehow they don't count that group in their numbers) for not getting a job in so much time or finding one outside the way they are supposed to, how can those numbers be right.
Nastier still, if you do get a job the wrong way you get thrown out of the shelter and many have lost it due to that.
Telemarketing for a job may work in some cases, however, it is more time consuming and longer to get results in this day and age. And to be able to only put in 3 applications, if you can talk with the boss themselves and have them say yes we are hiring, a day is a block, not a help.
And going to a fast food place in a full suit can have a turn off to the employer. Many of these people are trying for that kind of work and.. well... being overdress is as bad, in many ways as underdressed.
My Last night is Monday. I have yet to get a hold of any of the other shelters. But that is fine. I am a tough old girl.
I did see the Doc today over my PTSD. They see no need to change my meds. They say I an coping better than they would expect.
I am still in hopes to hear from that place where I can stay there if I work 3 days a week for them. Fingers Crossed!
Keep hoping that one of the on line applications would trigger something.
Also my ex SO is in the VA hospital. Hearing this hurts, hurts a lot. I still have feelings for the jerk. He is up there all alone and... well.. it hurts. Oh what pain the heart can cause!
Well that is it for now!

I'm guessing that you don't miss the grief you were getting before you got on the bus!
