Imperfectly Perfect
I am so frustrated with the constant uphill battle that life has become as of late that I just want to scream at the top of my lungs. By now, I am sure everyone on here is about sick of me, and to be honest, I am sick of me. Still, this forum provides a nice outlet for frustration. I am sick of the slow progress towards getting off of disability and finding full time work. I've never been a patient person; impatience is generally a recurring theme of my life.
I've found a part-time, 16 hour a week gig as a security guard and I look forward to the two days a week that I work in this capacity. However, I cannot afford to turn it into a full time gig and lose my disability payments. I need the combined income of disability and my part-time job to be able to make ends meet. To call this frustrating is an understatement. The nice thing about this 16 hour job is that it's from 3:00PM-11:00PM and it's literally guarding an empty room. I never see anyone and can read or watch Netflix on my phone all night long.
The only bright spark right now is that I have a job interview for Court Security Officer position which is a state job. At best, it is a long shot but it's something I would really like and probably do okay at. I say it's a long shot because state jobs are near impossible to get unless you know someone and I don't know anyone. Even my psychiatrist believes that this would be a good job to get but she concedes that it's a long shot.
Anyhow, I need to show Social Security that I am making an effort towards viable, long term employment so I have an interview scheduled for February 13th at 11:00AM. It would really make my day to get the job and I intend to show up to it in a suit and tie. I am trying not to get my hopes up though.
