So I have this employment class I have to attend due some Social Services crap, and it's been taking up all my time lately. Don't get me wrong, the idea of the class is great for people who need it. But MAKING people have to take the class is kinda dumb in my opinion. We don't DO anything other than sit there and have nice little discussion about stuff that can help people find a job. This would be all fine and dandy if I hadn't had a class in high school that went over the exact same stuff. I haven't learned ANYTHING new since I started this class last Monday.
If that wasn't bad enough, I also still have to deal with some of the social services people. And let me tell you, I haven't ever met any other people as miserable and rude and lazy as I have met working at the Social Services office in my county. Yes, there are a few people who actually do their jobs and I do get to deal with some of them. But I also have to deal with the extremely rude nasty ones as well. I'm sorry, but if your job is to help people get the help they need, you should at least be polite and not make them feel any worse about the fact that they have to ask for your help. You also shouldn't treat the people like they're less than you are because you have a job. If the job market in this country didn't suck so bad then less people would have to even be in that office.
I'm just getting so sick of having to deal with them. I do my best to try to do what they want and tell me to do, but when they keep changing it or deciding that doing something the exact way they told us to do stuff isn't good enough, is just frickin ridiculous.
And another thing, half the time they make concessions for the fact that we have a child, but then the other half the time, they say we have to figure out how to make things work even though we have a kid. You can't have it both ways, either you understand and work with people with kids, or you don't. And you shouldn't make both parents work if the only reason they even need assistance is because one parent is looking for a job while the other stays home. It's okay for a parent to take care of their own child you know. I'd rather not have my son constantly looking for both of us when we have to be gone. I'd much rather he be able to have one parent with him most of the time.
