A Day in the Life of a Social Worker
We all have an idea of what a social worker is. My favorite is the phrase I hear most often, "Oh, you mean Child Protective Services." Sometimes to save breath, I just nod and agree with them. But I realize I need to stop agreeing and educate my fellow human.

The T-Shirt Business
I’ve been copywriting like there is no tomorrow. I’m trying to make myself extra money since I need to pay-up the taxes, although I might wind up paying it a touch late, if I can manage. I applied to a bunch of work from home jobs. I’m also busy writing my stories to make sure that I can publish something so as to make extra money. I hear you can make decent money writing online, so I’m going to try it. If I make extra money this month, I will buy myself a new t-shirt. The question is, should it be: “Bill W. Sent Me” or others such as “I have Schizophrenia,” or maybe “I take Medication.”

Disability Rights: I Need a Job
I’m very paranoid and insecure about working lately. This is purely a schizophrenia thing though, as paranoid tendencies are one of its symptoms. As in, nobody’s going to hire a type one diabetic who needs to infuse, whose risk of the infusion set going down can happen at any time when I leave the house. I take meds—another reason not to hire me, right? I’m feeling a touch down about this job business as the nutrition store hasn’t called me back in quite a while, as my resume was given to the hiring manager, and all jobs expect medication consistency besides.

Disability Rights and Working
I have been working from home since I moved elsewhere from where I used to live. I’ve heard it said that there used to be a work from home stigma attached but many in 2018 do work from home at a solid job. With my knee healing up, I can’t afford to work out of the house just yet. I might be able to tolerate a job I have to sit down at. But the nutritional supplement store is a standing up job. I would keep my shifts short starting out. I wrote in my last survey for my job training school that nobody wants to hire someone with multiple chronic illnesses or disability outright.

How to Help Your Freelance Career
Imagine not earning a single penny for a whole month, but not classing it as a ‘holiday.’ I've been ‘working’ nearly every single day over the last month but have yet to earn any money. But the definition of "working" according to the Oxford Dictionary online is this: “having paid employment.”
