Settling in

     Well...  Had my first meeting with my caseworker today.  Interesting.  I need 3 forms of documentation that prove I was not receiving income upon entering the compass center.  From worksource (those of you from Texas will know it better as the Workforce Commission), DSHS, and Social Security.  I will probably end up getting the letter from DSHS tomorrow since the one from Social Security will prove to be a pain and I have a meeting with a substance abuse counselor tomorrow at 1:00.  Yes, so many hoops to jump through my first week.  However; I've come WAY too far to stop now.  I was assured that it sounds much more painful than it actually is.  Lets hope that is the case.
     On the brighter side; I have started arrangements to get an appointment to see the dentists. I hate the idea of the long needle; but, I know that it needs to come out.  It's not hurting right now; but, will eventually.  I will brave my fear of needles and do what I need to do.  Also; I caught a bit of flak last night for using my own phone number.  Since I am coming in after cerfew hours I have to tell them where I'm going yadda yaddda ya.  Should be eased up on tomorrow though when I submit my school schedule.

     On the even brighter side, you are now looking at the new employee of the First Presbyterian Church of Seattle.  It all started last Sunday when I helped out in the kitchen.  The Holy Spirit told me I needed to check out what was going on; so I did.  Turned out there were two ladies, one of their husbands, and a new member; woking their tails off woefully behind schedule.  For details refer to http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6338136428812215737#editor/target=post;postID=63839147127919324;onPublishedMenu=overview;onClosedMenu=overview;postNum=3;src=postname .  Anyways; the head of operations was extremely impressed to say the least.  He also has many of my views towards food service and plans to make some changes, some more dramatic than others, that I actually like.
     Just Finished writing chapter 3 in Illegal Refugees and should start typing it soon.  Those of you that don't know; it's being released chapter by chapter at anglasia.blogspot.com .  I will try to make this the last complication of the story; but, I've heard no complaints yet.
