When you think you have it bad, just remember, somewhere, out there, someone has it worse off than you.
Today, I went to the work center.
I have to do this every other Monday.
I had designed a spreadsheet for my case worker awhile back to help track his cases much easier.
Friday he called me to help him fix some formula deletions he had accidentally done which I did over the phone.
Today, he told me, that he dialed a number on Friday that he thought was mine, but wasn't and when the person answered, my case worker was like "My spreadsheet is broken!"
The person on the other end said, "That's nice, I'm being evicted!" and broke into tears.
Case worker spent about twenty minutes on the phone talking to this person and had him come down to the office on Monday, to get this person some help.
A good deed, didn't have to do it, but he did.
He's a good person as well as a good case worker.
We talked some more after that and it hit me, right at that moment, though I am out of work and seemingly am too ugly to work for most companies but everyday, I wake up breathing, I have my health for the most part and when I get mad, I can go outside on my own two feet and randomly punch someone in the face.
My shoes might be a little older than most but I still have both my feet to put shoes on to.
I saw a man in a wheel chair today who had lost one of his feet to the diabetes.
I still can see fairly well and a blessing is, when I take off my glasses everyone looks pretty.
Even the ugly people!
My case worker told me a story about how at his church last Sunday, the pastor asked if there were any thing to raise up for prayers.
This woman stood up, she had many health issues, half of her body was partially paralysed from a previous stroke, kidney problems, heart problems, liver, etc. etc. and she was going in for a life saving surgery this week, one of those surgeries there's a higher percentage of you not coming back from then coming back.
After she sat down, the pastor asked if there was anymore prayer requests.
No one else raised their hands.
After that lady, someone's kid talking back to them and such just didn't seem that big in the light of that situation.
Always remember, there are people out there in worst situations than we are, take time to try and help those in those situations if you can, make this world a better place for our generations and future generations.
Good night and have a better tomorrow!

Tink, I like Lefty's idea. We both know Indiana could use an upgrade. Take your spreadsheet to ManPower or whomever it is that does unemployment stuff and give it a go. Peddle it in Kentucky, too. Hell, build a website and sell it nationwide.
HUGGGGG

Straight up: Good story. Too many people need help these days and as you said, there are people out there worse off than I am. I have many things to be thankful for.
Hugs
, "That's nice, I'm being evicted!"
He found her a space of time to discuss the utter proximate horror
Of her future. He is a hero..

True, friend , but here is where I shall take my scalpel to your fine sentiment…
How many of them could write?
Hm?
How many could perhaps use their writing to solve some problems, like , oh, you!?
Ha. Terrible burden.
Can you shoulder it? I sure can’t.
I would rather dwell with the unfortunates and beat myself up for being a loser.
I hope someday I realize that like you, I got a gift.
Aint sure how to use it tho.

designanator, thank you and you're welcome. The Golden Rule seems to get ignored a lot!! Good rule to live by. ~nod~
phyllis, ~nodding~ I'm trying to think of some money making ideas, not just for me but for some others in my life. I'll keep everyone up to date on future posts!! ~nodding~ :)
Linda, ~nodding~ I thought I'd share it!!! Needed to be shared!
~hug~
RP, ~nodding~ Those days are the worse times but the best times for me to go out into public. You never saw people run so fast than on those days!! :D
Auntynae, yeah, I want something to help me, but maybe a Word document!! :D
~hugs~ ~nod~
James, that's my problem, I don't think I have a gift, I'm my biggest critic, have been since I was a wee lad, and consider myself to be a big loser!!
Someday soon, I keep hoping to change that!!!!
(BTW, you have a gift too, you damn writer you!! KEEP IT UP AND NEVER LOOK BACK....or up, I'm not sure why on the up, maybe birds pooping!! :D)
~BLUSH~ :D
I know nothing about such things, but if there is anything peddleable in your spread sheet, or if there are similar ideas that you have... I have a friend who was teaching computing in schools. He devised some software for teachers and parents to keep up to date on the kiddies and put it out there for donations. He got so many he quit his job and went into the thing full-time, even employing a summer student sometimes, developing and selling some other school-oriented programs, and has become independently wealthy. Okay, independent anyway. Thing is, it was a small item he began with, noticing a need, that brought in a little money on the side that turned into self-employment.
Perhaps you could put together some computer programs that would help some people in these government offices?
Hey, and god (or whatever) bless that case worker!
Myriad, ~nodding~ On all counts!! I'm trying to figure out something!! Better the world and my pocket book!! ~nodding~ I've put myself out in offer to some politicks who I agree with their politicks but so far, no offer. Said, I'd do it for a penny day which I would then donate to the Cause!! Still...:*( :D
Tom, ~nodding~ A lot of politicks I'd like to throw into the ocean, lead weights tied to their ankles but that's a different post all together!! :D
I know I couldn't work in like the unemployment office. They're just the poor saps trying to help while the politicks do their battle of words like little bratty school children.
Is it legal to spank the politicks who act up? Seriously, be like, GET IN LINE YOU POLITICKS!!!! TIME FOR SPANKING WITH AN IRON ROD!!! :D
OK.
good lesson plan
Good luck friend.

Damn cat oughtt'a be investigated, that's what.......

When we can reach out to another and help them we can't grasp the good it is doing, it feels good to us, but it may be saving, quite literally, a life.
And I think you clearly have some marketable talents that could be turned into cash!
