job ~ 

Had a job interview the other day with a copy place near me. It went well, and they're supposed to call me today to let me know if I got it but I just, got a bad feeling today. :(

Breaking down and applying for SSI today. Should have done this years ago tbh, but my partner back then threatened to leave if I got on disability so, fuck me.

@Lumb good luck!!! i'm sending you all the best energy i possibly can!!!

you're probably well on top of it, but if you don't have a lawyer, definitely look into getting one - and don't be discouraged if you get rejected the first time around. honestly they reject absolutely everyone the first time around and seem to only sit and look at the evidence eventually if there's a lawyer's name in there somewhere too. it's a fucking bastard of a system at first for sure. :(

Huh, good to know. I knew they deny everyone at first, but I had no idea about getting a lawyer on it. idk... if or how I would do that, but I'll look into it, thanks. :)

@Lumb no problem! if you look for a lawyer, look exclusively for one where you don't need to pay anything to them, but they instead take their pay as a cut of the like "back pay" they do (when you get disability, they'll go "oh ok, so you've been disabled since x, so you'll get benefits going forward, but also we're going to pay you like we've been paying you since x", usually split up into about 3 big lump sums). that's how to avoid the dodgy lawyer motherfuckers, basically.
