I never had problems with those psych tests. It's pretty easy for me to know what the correct answer is. I may not know it if I was actually in that situation cuz I don't think that fast but when I'm reading it as a question with multiple choice answers, it's pretty easy to guess the rite one most all the time.
What causes me major problems with finding employment is that I have a lot of disabilities & the jobs I can do tend to have lots of other people applying for them. I got told by job assistance programs to call & ask for a manager to check on my app but when I called, I would get told things like how they don't have time to look for an individuals job app & they tend to hire before they go through all the apps. So calling & asking my app to be checked on was a waist of time & just caused me extra anxiety. What I needed help with doing my job searching was for someone to help me talk to the company & line up an interview for me & maybe help convince them to take a chance on me. Voc rehab & other programs that were supposed to help me just kept telling me to submit apps & keep asserting myself & being told those things regularly were absolutely no help at all.

Someone from property maintenance came & replaced the smoke alarm that the fire department took down a couple weeks ago cuz the carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Anyways he came to the back door instead of the front for some weird reason. We have some stuff by the door kinda preventing it from opening all the way. I had to move it out the way. After he left I was moving the stuff back. One of the things there was a pack of two florescent lights. The kitchen uses florescent lights & I think the fixtures are going bad. The lights flicker alot even with new bulbs & the last time I replaced the bulbs, they went bad a couple months later. The light barely lights. We mentioned this in a letter we sent to property management along with the rent about two months ago. We also mentioned some other issues. We haven't heard back from management & nobody came to fix anything except for the smoke alarm. We've been using a lamp in there. Anyways... we had the new pack of lights near the back door for maintenance to use when they came to check the lights out; we're responsible for replacing light bulbs. I knocked the pack of lights over when I was moving things back & one of them broke. Very thankfully nothing hit me & the cat was not in the kitchen. I swept up the bigger pieces & then vacuumed. I also rinsed out the cat's water dish, dry food dish, & wet cat food dish since they were close to where the light broke. I know it's kinda my fault for not being more careful but I also kinda blame property management because the only reason the lights were out there instead of being picked up somewhere else is so maintenance could use the bulbs. Property manger talks like he's such a great manager but he acts like he's too busy to do a damned thing he's supposed to do to keep the apartments up. My girlfriend is spending the night with a relative. I texted her about what happened & I haven't heard back yet. I don't think(& really hope) she won't be too upset with me & be more glad me & the cat weren't hurt & maybe worried about how well I cleaned up.

Why would she be upset?

Thanx for telling about Disability Rights blazingstar. I haven't looked for a job in a while but I plan to after we move. We've been wanting to get out of here for a while.


She wasn't. I was just worrying too much like I do sometimes.
I'm sorry your ankle is bothering you again. It may help to try & take it easy for the next couple days.

No one had anything to say about my misdiagnosis of autism post today.
