Thank Yous To Those I Don't Know


Shit you guys, way to make a person's jaw drop. Thank you to the Oaklander (Oaklandnite? Oaklandnette?) who sent this. I don't know where to send the thank you so I'm posting it here in the hopes you'll see and know it's for you.

In less than one month three members of my family have died. Since a few days ago when rent got paid, I have had less than $100 in my bank account. It's the least amount of money I've ever had since opening a bank account. To say I am scared would be an understatement.

However. Things are slowly and cautiously looking up. There's this picture. There's my friend who hired me to watch her baby for a couple of hours each day for the next week or so. There are some interviews coming up. There's email and real mail and comments and encouragement and intuitive healing and as of today's trip to the library there's now the dvd for My So-Called Life (until the 11th, when I will return it).

So I am feeling hopeful. If everything goes well, there will be a lot of paying it forward I'll be doing in 2009.

I hope the interviews go well for you. In case you need extra assistance, it seems like SF county has pretty extensive social services and you can get help in terms of job-search expenses. Check out http://www.sfhsa.org/ if you haven't done so already. (Gov't assistance seemed weird until 4 years ago, when my doctor told me he knew trust fund babies on Medi-Cal.)

What an awesome story! 'Specially this time of year when there are so many grinches and scrooges who can drag you down during the holiday season. Kudos to Oaklander. =)

Green, I am a regular lurker of your blog (mostly because I am a paralegal and get a kick out of your stories about the legal profession!), but I just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope your interview goes well. My fingers and toes are crossed for you!
