I work with an organization that helps people that can no longer work try to apply for disability through the government. That means that everyone on the team must work for free until the claims are settled. I’m a spokesperson and representative.
Now, I will say it’s amazing what the government does and doesn’t do that is horrible to these people. Some of them go from making a lot of money to zero and it’s like the government waits until they are almost at rock bottom before they decide if they meet the criteria.
However, within the parameters of the rules the person claiming to have the disability has some responsibilities too. No matter how many times they are told what and what not to do - they do or don’t do it on a daily basis. When it doesn’t work out they take it out on the team.
Life is filled with frustration. I have this really close friend that makes me wonder if she has the ability to be happy. Everything has to be in order and perfect. God forbid something moves a centimeter off kilt. It throws her into an absolute panic. It’s amazing to me how we’ve remained to be friends all these years. She will get mad at me because I procrastinate… And I’m just now finding out why I do. I’m trying to work thru it. But, again, if I am like - let me give you space she’s like giving me all these responses that make me feel horrible for implying it. Not sure what that’s called - but it makes me wonder how anyone could ever truly know what happiness really is.
Some days I could care less if the world broke into 5 pieces and floated into the abyss. If I can’t control it - I don’t worry about it. My take on life is that we fight to fix what we can control and don’t give 2 rips about anything we cannot.
To me, life is funny that way - it’s gonna happen whether we worry or not; whether we get dramatic or laid back. The true test comes when we know we can do something and we don’t.
Now, this just feels like I’m rambling. Maybe I’m hungry for a real deep conversation about something with some substance.
Maybe I just need to close my eyes and dream about something amazing. I’ll let ya know.
