[nfbwatlk] A bit frustrated in Spokane

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I wonder what kind of work at home job you could have done. I sometimes
still wish I could work from home doing something I could do mostly late at
night.

I had trouble with Work Source in Bothell or Everett, wherever it was. They
didn't want to help me and didn't know how to use the could-be accessible
technology they had.
Thanks
Lauren

Blessings to you in the name of Jesus Christ "Then Peter said unto them
repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost," (Acts,
2:38.)

Hi all.  Well, first for those who have not heard, I was laid off 
on Friday.  So I have begun the process of filing for 
unemployment and looking for a job.  If Lighthouse could 
guarantee me a job in 8 weeks, I wouldn't have to look, I could 
just get my unemployment.  But I know they can't guarantee 
anything at this point.  Sigh.  So I have had the wonderful joy 
of trying to deal with ESAID (Employment Service Division) and 
the "wonderful" and I write that in quotes, work source 
Washington web site.  I am also working with Kim Daublind from 
DSB, and will be going with her to Career Path sometime next 
week, I think.  I am using my Apex and iPhone.  The iPhone is 
working better for this search, and I'm using a bluetooth 
keyboard.  I don't think I'm going to get my three required 
things done by next week.  Sigh.  If any of you have used the 
work source site with an iPhone or Apex please let me know any 
tricks you might have used.

Today I received 2 calls from ESAID.  I thought I was asking a 
pretty simple question.  I asked if I went to the work source 
office by myself if I would be able to get assistance or if they 
had a computer with JAWS.  The first person passed me off to some 
poor schmuck in Olympia.  He was definitely freaked out.  He 
didn't know what to tell me.  I spoke with Maria later on, and 
she told me about her horror with these fine folks here in 
Spokane.  I'll be updating all of you as time goes by.  I could 
have interviewed for a job where I'd work from home, but I really 
don't want to work from home.  Maybe I should have gone for it.  
(Grin).  Anyway, I politely told Kim D no, because I didn't want 
to work from home.  She understood that.

Well, everybody have a good night, and if it's raining where you 
are like it is here, try and stay dry and warm.    Peace,    
Debby
