what's amusing to me is the scammers have no idea that i'm broke as hell, unemployed (no income at all) and living in a homeless shelter...talk about hitting a dry well as far as would-be scam victims go 😂😂😂

mildly amused
so i got one of those IRS scammer robocalls from this number (206) 535-1208 Seattle, WA this afternoon, telling me that the IRS is about to sue me in court and to call them back at the number listed above, to avoid going to court...blah blah blah.

anxiety ridden
had a meeting with the Vocation Rehab counselor this morning; everything is pretty much on hold until i secure housing & income for myself before i can move forward with technical school training. i have to talk to the administrator at the shelter to see if they will let me stay past my 60-days until the new semester starts in august. if she says no, then i'm back to Vinita until i can find a place to live.
the counselor did say since Vinita is still in Cherokee Nation district they still may be able to help me if i find a school around there where i can get some office administration training. most of these programs are at least a year long; so i will have to find housing either on or off campus for that year.
while i was there at Cherokee Nation complex, i stopped by Day Training to see where i was on the list for day jobs....well apparently all but one page of my paperwork has disappeared!! so now i have to start all over again since my paperwork was never entered in their system and they can't find the original hard copies that i turned in to them. the receptionist apologized for the screw-up because whoever was at the front desk should have handed it over to one of the counselors there in the office and it wasn't done. for some reason one page was there (the job search sign-in sheet) but nothing else was found. i'm just hoping no one took the other pages from the office since i did have personal information on it (social security numbers, date of birth, etc.)
one of the pages i have to re-do has to be signed/stamped by WorkForce, and they are closed until next tuesday, because they are re-locating and monday is a holiday!
i'm trying not to be too pissed off at this display of incompetence right now. the personal info on the paperwork is what bothers me more than anything.

ssdd
so the job interview was a bust; no driver's license or insurance so no job. apparently they drive clients around to appointments, errands, etc.
in other news, this past week was much better, especially where the problem child was concerned.
i have a behavioral health appointment on Tuesday. since i'm overdue for an evaluation i'm hoping to get taken off citalopram or change the dosage. i'm sure it helps in some way but the less pills the better if i don't need it anymore.
the job search continues...no other leads yet.
i've been doing a lot more photography while i'm here; instagram.com/angielina.grass
there's some pretty country here in Tahlequah.

i finally have a job interview, tomorrow at 1 p.m.! this is my first lead in the past month and a half that i've been here in Tahlequah. i only have until July 6th before i have to move out of the shelter. i realize that i'm cutting it pretty close to my deadline, but this is the first glimmer of hope i've had on the job search.
as far as a social life here in this town, i've been able to attend a church on the edge of town, Carter Baptist Church; i've been going to the evening service on Sunday. the people there are very nice and so far they're the only church i've visited. a few days ago, while on the bus home, one of the passengers invited me to his church, Tahlequah Baptist. and today while i was out job searching, i was invited to Blue Springs Baptist by the pastor himself; he said he might be able to introduce me to some people that can help me get a job or know who's hiring here in town. so apparently i need to check out these other two churches before my time
is up at the shelter.
i've also been flirting with one of the bus drivers, Will. not sure if that will lead to anything at the moment. but the attention is nice, especially since i don't know anyone here in town.
i've also butted heads with a staff member here at the shelter; i spoke with her supervisor about the unnecessary & unprofessional remarks she has made to me, i was blown off since the supervisor didn't witness it herself. this staff person is only temporary, and i only have a few weeks left here, so i'm praying my way through this situation until i leave. i'm still considering video-recording any exchanges i have with this problem child, just to have some sort of documentation of her poor behavior.
