i think it went pretty well?? it was with the recruiter and she talked to me for an hour and said she’d submit all my stuff. so, if all goes well, i’ll have a second interview with the director!!! 

people not treating people like people. i work in mental health with a lot of stigmatized groups of people (addicts, homeless, drifters, people on welfare/food stamps, people w/ disabilities) and seeing how the rest of the world treats them makes me wanna burn everything to the ground constantly 🙃

i don’t mind! i’m basically a caseworker, but with an added housing component. so the people/families i work with have to be homeless & also have a mental health diagnosis (depression, anxiety, ptsd, schizophrenia, bpd, bipolar). and then i meet with them & help them find a place to live (which my program pays for for them) and then we work on getting them treatment & services they need/want. i’ll help them find jobs if they wanna work, i’ll help them apply for benefits or ssi if they wanna do that. basically i go in there and try to be an example of a good person for them, because a lot of them don’t have good people in their lives. so i try to remind them that good people still exist and they’re not alone and that i’m there to help how i can. 

heeeeelllllllll no. i wanna write and publish a book or twelve one day, but i’m doing all that shit under a fake name. if people paid that much attention to me, i’d just cry.
