working
I hadn’t had a job since February 2008. I could arise most days whenever I desired. I had no boss, no time cards to stamp or punch, no work schedule, no commute …
Now I have worked two weeks in Panama City Rescue Mission as a ‘resource connector,’ helping homeless persons, including just-released prisoners, to seek employment, shelter, state vocation rehabilitation, Social Security benefits, Medicaid, SNAP grocery cards, military veteran medical-care enrollment, veteran disability compensation, etcetera.
