Dinnertime conversation

Lauren said "We have indoor recess all week. It cold out"

Then she asked, "You have recess at you work"

I said, no and Ellie jumped in and said "That's cause Mommy doesn't have a playground"

I wish it was that easy.

Things I've learned doing disability claims.

1. Don't smoke!

2. Don't do drugs

3. Don't do crack when your pregnant (ok it could be a subsection of #2 but I felt it needed it's own number)

4. Wear your helmet!

5. Your health is ultimately your responsibility.

6. Somtimes people get a raw deal in life. You still have to make good choices with what you have.

7. No matter how bad or good your childhood was, it is now over.

I don't think I could take another angry phone call this week

I'm very tired of helping people with disabilities this week. I am also very tired of being yelled at by people who think they have disabilities.

Unsolicited advice coming up:

I'm sorry that you disagree with our definition of disability. I did not set it. I do not know you personall and I am not here to deny you just cause. I take my job seriously and I try to make the best, timely descision I can. However, I can't just allow you because your broke.

I don't think Social Security is going to change its rules just cause you don't like them.

Training is over!

I just completed my 10 week training class at my new (old) job. That's 10 weeks of my life that I'll never get back.

Only 42 more weeks until I am off probation.

Bob's new job

My husband has a new job. He's no longer waiting tables at a family restaurant. He's moved on to a sports bar. he really likes it.

Here's hoping the tips are better.
