[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 541561, member: 1514"] DDD, there is that too. It is difficult for sure. I never know for sure just how much true effort he is putting forth either in trying to get jobs. I do have to admit we live in a very disadvantaged area. And for anyone who thinks that he could live easily on a thousand a month, he couldnt. Even the boarding rooms are 100 a week. Cheapest apartments that arent in HUD rent for right around 300 or more. He would be on the longest part of the waiting list for income based apartments because of being a single male. He had an interview for a job at the local ATT cell phone center on Thursday. I saw him leave the house to go to the interview that morning. He had gone to get his hair freshly cut, bought new black slacks, had a new fresh white shirt that was tucked in and was wearing a belt. Button up. I have seen the staff in that store and they are fairly laid back. I went in there one time to ask a question and the guy had his feet up on his desk watching something on a tablet! Anyway, when I asked Billy how the interview went, he told me they told him he was under dressed for the interview. Now I dont know if they really said that or if he just felt that way because he was nervous because of who was interviewing him. I have never had someone tell me I was under dressed. I asked him if everyone in the store wore suits on the floor and he said no, they wore pants/khakis and colored shirts so I cant see how he could have been under dressed. Now...they could be having issues with his weight. He is over 325. I had an extremely hard time finding anyone to hire me but normally men dont seem to have the same issues if they know their stuff. I dont think he interviews well. I wish he could go through Voc Rehab but you have to have a diagnosis to do that. That will be hard to do now since he dropped his health insurance because they kept increasing his premiums so much that he simply couldnt afford it. [/QUOTE]
