[QUOTE="klmno, post: 370435, member: 3699"] I don't think it's that simple. First, PO has no say in how long difficult child stays in - he can only make a recommendation at court. The judge gave difficult child a specified sentence and legally, no one can hold him in there past that date unless he committed a crime while there. I still need assistance until a paycheck or two actually gets to me- that means meetings at various agencies that will only meet during working hours and they call the shots when it comes to date and time- the same with the hearing officer at school for re-enrollment. When your kid is in trouble legally, they tell the parent when to be there- so does VA and the local dss services when you are getting help from them. At dss, I can expect to wait 30 mins past the scheduled time to even see them. The VA is much better about wait times and are very efficient- just like the military- they can get more done in four hours than outpatient people can get done in 3 months. However, it takes me over 1/2 hour to get there and I have ended up there at least four hours every time I go. I don't think the mammo there will be that long but going for help with housing, moving, mental health, etc, will. You know how an outpatient prof recommends something so you come home and call the next day to make that appointment which will probaly be a few weeks or months away? The VA recommends it and you go to that recommended dept. right after leaving that appointment you are in. So you get a whole lot accomplished quickly, but you are down there for hours. I would like this job though and will discuss flex time with them and a couple of your other suggestions. I figure if they know I am actually over-qualified but in a related field and can give them more for their buck, allowing them to save money by not having to call in outside profs in some cases, maybe they will be willing to make up some time by working at home or something.
