I am doing a lot better today than I was yesterday. I was just so fired up about the whole bedroom furniture thing and then not being able to schedule my paratransit rides. My rides have been scheduled so I will only have to Uber two more times in this pay period. Nevertheless, it still hurts financially. Sometimes it sees like every step forward results in two steps backwards for people that are in veritable poverty in the US. I vote yet voting is not changing anything. At this point, I wonder if we need to take a page from yesteryear and show up at the doorsteps of the wealthy with pitch forks and torches.

On another note, I think a new shift might be opening at work which would be a Monday through Friday one with weekends off. I hope that it does because that would be the perfect shift for me. It would be 6am-2pm which is not bad. I’d take it in a heartbeat. While I don’t really want anyone to lose their job, this security guard is lazy and slovenly, often leaving his trash around for others to clean up and others to do his work. Well, he was accused of stealing something valuable. If the outcome of the investigation shows he did it, he’ll be terminated and arrested. That means the shift will be mine.

I am just going to keep on soldiering on. I am sick and tired of poverty. Poverty should be treated like a disease and eradicated. Nobody in the US should live in poverty.
