I saved $5.00 today

I had planned to go to Delancey and Essex street to stand in the cold for 45 minutes and then I might just might get my taxes done. I already did my fed taxes on the free turbo tax. Problem is they do not provide for how much underpayment you forked over to New York State last year. Underpayment caused by your unemployment people not taking the tax you asked them to. Ah yes, New York State, a state that is totally at odds with income and the needs of their impoverished, unbenefited citizens. I thought I would get an amended federal return and the state return done manually at center. I already know how to do it. I just wanted to sign up for benefits at that easier to get to location and arrange for the 2 week job hunting boot camp. I might surprised if they find a loophole for me as well.

Sign our petition telling MTA Chairman Walder to use stimulus dollars BEFORE he hikes our fares:

I had an inspiration. Since Monday I am retaking my bartender class during the day in hopes of getting a job like now in that field I'll just walk over to the hard location after class and sign up on Monday. I'll manage to go to the easier location on Tuesday for signing up and getting evaluated for bootcamp. Gee I wonder what their terms are. lol can't wait.


I found this nifty sight for the unemployed to keep their job applications, cover letters etc. Its called becomed.com I'll start using it from today onwards. My two CDS are filled to capacity and my 3" binder can't take it anymore. I laughed yes that is a great book on New York State Labor Department and Age Discrimination: The Ghetto Years.

Since Mayor Bloomberg has not revealed what he is doing to stop the gluttony of the MTA (our transit authority ghouls) I might as well find ways to keep cutting down on use of the much bragged about transportation system of NYC. My feet are broken even though I tried to get that taken care of in the two months of Medicaid benefit given me and now taken away. Still I'll save $5.00 and probably some needless exposure to getting sick. The temperature in my apartment is 81 degrees. Noone seems to care. I have the window up a crack for an hour and its 80 degrees. The landlord has been informed three times and the super told twice in person. They never looked at the radiator. This has been going on a long time.


I don't want to waste my time with 311, they are information, all the wrong information. The departments they link me up to as far as housing go no where. I must say though that they did link me right up with WorkForce1 when they weren't answering the phone on three occasions. WorkForce1 has a huge phone problem. They said they called me to pick up my voucher a week ago. Lol I have a phone system that records every call and every message. There is none from them. I'm used to WorkForce1 holding me back from getting a job. How many times can I tell them that I face age discrimination. That one of the ways to circumvent that is to get a certification and degree with a brand new date. lol to you that is.

I don't know what they'll pipe up with Monday. I'll call them during all my school breaks after class while walking to the benefits place beyond delancey street. There is no way I am going to let them get away with a delay. Trust me if you don't follow up with these people or any governmental official and even 311 and its links you are not going to get anywhere. You must reasonably followup.

I think I might squeeze a month more out of my accounts. $10 a week for food. $0 for transportation. $1100 for rent. I can't afford to have another governmental agency fuck me over though. I rely on the Senators to help me beyond that. I don't need lip service. I am maxed out on lip service.

My hope is that I am able to get a bartending job that is somewhat sustaining. Then I'll be the one not answering governmental calls. I won't need you ever again.

Am I doing one of my businesses? Most certainly. I received wonderful tools that I implemented on one idea. That idea will take some skill, authority and relationship building before it can launch. I gave September 2010 as the launch date. I will squeeze in a few concentrated hours on it a day.

I'm on three agencies list as a top notch legal assistant and I have always been. I correspond with them weekly, replying to their availability queries. Next week I am open for nights and weekends. Even if I get a bartending job I'll still answer my agencies. There is no way I'm letting go of that.

If I look at my life and what I have done for other people as well as myself, the taxes I've paid, the companies I have supported. The universe is way overdue. I'm expecting it to deliver.
