    doh, i wanted to work on the lighting near his face.

    well, working on the scaling.  trying to make a 300ft preset so i can drop a terrain and be able to see the dino figures.  30ft too small, 3000ft too big.  

    Arizona desert or Australian outback?

    In some areas the two have different meaning.  For example, here.  I have always considered garbage to be food waste, whereas trash is all the other waste...cans, cellophane, wrappers, etc.  when I was young, we actually had separate containers for the trash and the garbage.  I was too young and didn't really pay attention to how they were dealt with.  With the recycling bit, now some trash is actually recyclables...cans, paper, cardboard, glass jars, etc., which all goes into a special bin for recyclables, while the rest of the trash and the garbage all go in the trash bag.

    Did not get an ebot for this thread.

    That was me, this morning...!

     

    ...and me this evening.

    I Just received the response from SSA about my disability claim and not good news.  They say that I should still be able to do tasks like standing, bending lifting, and carrying, etc. however I am unable to do so at the level my last job (and just about every other warehouse job) requires as that is the only area I have the most experience in. My keyboarding and data entry skills are abysmal and no where near the minimum level that office occupations are demanding today. I am unable to stand on my feet for hours straight at a time (required in restaurant, retail, and assembly positions) without ending up in terrible pain and barely able to walk afterwards.  I do not have what it takes for high public contact jobs like call centres (which I already tried and failed at). As I am not considered even "mildly" disabled, I also am unable to get any kind of accommodation so I would have to tough it out in a physically demanding job which is all I pretty much know.

    Add to this the fact that ageism is more the rule instead of the exception in hiring today and that I have been unemployed for an extended period of time, the future doesn't look bright right now.  Without SSI, I would need a job that pays at least 15$ - 18$ an hour to afford a place to live given the rents here. Crikey I can't even get one that pays 10$ - 11$.

    So the choices are:

    Submitting an appeal which will require getting a shys...er...lawyer who will take a cut of my benefits, and spending months and months of anguish filing paperwork, getting more exams, and going to hearings.

    Or, biting the bullet and taking early SSA retirement this December which will only be 75% of my full benefit amount (just over 700$ a month)

    ...and if that wasn't bad enough news.

    I also got a summons for jury duty as well (that begins next week) which means shelling out 5$ a day in bus fare as I refuse to take my bike there where it would probably be stolen (downtown has the highest rate of bike thefts in the city).

    All in all, a pretty rotten day on top of what I am already dealing with getting things packed and ready to move out. I feel like bleedin' a modern day "Job" (a fellow from the Old Testament who's bad fortune would make even the Titanic look lucky).

    Could really use a drink right now but need what money I have for laundry.

    Help me Mergabucks Lotto, you're my only hope.

    Kyoto it may be worth getting a lawyer.  I had the same run around with Social Securtiy for year, finally got a lawyer for my appeal and not only did he get disablity for me he was able to make them go back the five years when I first filed and was rejected.  Not all lawyers are evil.

    I'm assuming more people here get PMs then I, but I just for the first time decided to look at the little gear/cogs icon and noticed that the notification for PMs is inside there... I think the older version had that outside... I know once when I got a PM, there was a notice at the top of the page... Does this happen now too... Nobody ever needs to PM me, but I think I'd feel terrible if someone did and I didn't notice for months... Which I have done for a couple of days in the past... I'd just feel like such a super jerk.

    Have we come to peace with the new forum design?

    I still hate the lack of a dark theme.

    ...thank you both.  Not going to deal with it until I am resettled next week as I have 60 days to appeal.

    If it had gone through, I would have received about 32,000$ in back benefits to January 2013.  Now I'll have to deal with a lawyer pocketing about 1/4th that should he/she succeed in the appeal.
