Okay, so I had a job interview at the Food Stamp office for a Clerk job yesterday. I actually got there 30 minutes early and stood in line... yeah, you have to stand in line for anything (questions, complaints, information). I was told that I just needed to have a seat and wait to be called because they were apparently doing group interviews. So...2pm comes and goes. My interview was for 2pm. At 2:30 they called off five names and only three people got up. My name was not among them. At 2:40, after waiting in line again, I made it back to the front desk to ask when I would be seen. The clerk paged someone and asked me to take a seat. Another 2o minutes goes by before I get a phone call from my aunt asking me how the interview went. As I was telling her that I still haven't been seen, the security guard realized that I was supposed to have been in the interview with the others. He did his best to provide assistance, but it did nothing to lighten my mood. I called the HHS person that scheduled my interview and had to leave a message. I got a phone call today and she rescheduled my interview for a location that I cannot get to, so I need to ask someone to take me there. This office is really unprofessional and the Health and Human Services department is very unprofessional. These people only do enough to keep their jobs, even though they don't have to try so hard. Their superiors are just as unprofessional as they are. They're lucky that I need a job and I can't afford to turn down any job leads.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! They need all the help they can get. They only make excuses for their less than average customer service and professionalism.
My blog is an outlet for me to talk about what is going on in my life and my thoughts on a variety of things.

Diminishing Faith
I've heard that God knows your heart and your thoughts. But, he still wants you to talk to Him. If He knows my heart, then He knows that my heart is getting heavier by the day. If He knows my thoughts, then He knows that I am still waiting to find out why I'm in the situation that I'm in. He knows that I want to know why I am being punished because I don't understand. I am doing the best I can to make it through. Everyone wants to blame the economic situation for the reason so many are out of work and why they can't find a job to take care of themselves or their family. But, there is another group that must also take some of the blame. those people are the employers and hiring managers that judge applicants based on factors that allow them to discriminate. I've briefly touched on that once before. Now, I am told that I need to pray and give it up to God. My problem is that I have to be realistic while trying to be faithful. Reality is that if I cannot find a job to take care of myself then I lose my home and most, if not all, of my possessions. People may think it's nothing to start over and you play the hand life dealt you, but you never know until you are in that situation. Truth is, there are people who never truly recover from such a devastating situation. For others, it is very hard to have to be humbled and suffer a little humility to accept the support of people who only support you tot ake advantage of you in your time of need. I've been in that situation where I've had to depend on others and I was taken advantage of. So, it is hard to deal with the fact that if I am not able to care for myself financially, I will end up going back to an even worse situation or as another homeless individual. Yes, I had very little faith to begin with. and now, that is diminishing. I am up against a clock right now and my time is running out. I feel that if I can't catch even the tiniest break, it's over for good and my faith will be gone.
If you do your best to live your life right, why would God punish you while letting others live wrong? What is the point when you can get no answers?
