Get laid

Not laid off.
DAMNIT.... seriously? Emily got laid off from her job yesterday. She called me and left me a voicemail while I was at work crying and saying she was scared it was going to happen and it did.
Emily worked with mentally disabled adults, this is a place that's NEEDED, and they are now being forced to cut back thier employees. Fuck this shit, why the hell are we sending millions and millions of dollars to a country that is not owned by the states when people living in THIS one need it. I'm a little annoyed.
She needed that job, she had been looking for a job forever, and i convinced her to get it. She worked there years prior, and really enjoyed her job. What she did was great. She had the mentality of living off of her tax return and state aide for the rest of her life but I convinced her to get back into the real world and make some money to support her kids better. Now she is going to be once again in the situation of either living off of state aide help and unemployment or not getting any help for food/heat etc and busting her ass working a job that will literally give her less money.
I wanna be president, damnit. Not happy today. This is actually making me contemplate moving back to Monroe. Right now I live in Madison, and I bust my chops working and barely being able to afford my own little one room studio. God damnit. Is it really getting to the point where places that are so beneficial and GOOD for just the humane decency of things are getting cut of help? Ridiculous.
