Hi there. Thats right Im not dead
Ive been having a hectic few weeks/months and Im having a hard enough time trying to deal with everything so that coupled with the fact my internet has been off for 2 weeks is why I havent been dropping by so much. If im honest, the forced routine I had when I was working has gone and any sort of structure I had in my life went out the window with it. Im struggling to remember to take my pills and everything just spirals from there. Life isnt that bad but I am fighting myself at every turn to try and get things done. Still no job either and I am really quite fed up with job hunting now. So I am probably going to take myself off somewhere soon because I am really pissed off living in a seriously depressed and poverty stricken area. My town is a very grey place with no opportunities and no one has any ambition to do anything. Anyway, hope everyone is doing fine
I am hosting another meeting tomorrow so everyone is warmly invited once again. Hopefully we can have another productive afternoon. 2pm in Costas as usual, the info is here sites.google.com/site/scottishadhdadultsorg/Home
Talking about job hunting, the NHS neglected their own guarantee to give me an interview for a position in the local hospital. I applied for a job and their own application form says in big f'n letters that if you have a disability then they guarantee you an interview. Aye well, shouldnt have believed them really. Probably just use it as an excuse to find out who they arent going to give a job to. Swines. I phoned the manager up earlier but he basically just went sorry I didnt know we had to do that. Sorry but now have an employee, bye. I sent a letter of complaint (my specialty, seems its all im f'n good at) but what are you supposed to do. Moaning at them isnt going to get you anything is it. They are hardly likely to sack the new start and give me the job. Can I do anything about this? It doesnt seem right that they can just ignore their own guarantees and promises and then just say sorry and everything is ok. Are the promises just for show then, to satisfy the DDA?
