I wish that I could give you more than just moral support but I am in my own financial troubles right now. I am employed by the VA as a Telephone Operator/Police Dispatcher, but after my surgery last September my right vocal chord is paralyzed and I can't do my job. My Vacation pay and sick pay lasted until December and I received temporary disability for October and November, but since then I have been living on the 90% disability I am rated at, and that just barely pays for my house and truck. All of my other bills have been falling behind. I petitioned the VA’s decision to pay me temporary disability for only two months though, because I can’t do my job from the service connected surgery they did, and while I can apply for other jobs at the VA I either cannot do those jobs because they break my other disabilities or I am not sufficiently skilled for them. Last week I had a medical exam for my claim and it looked really good so I hope to have good news regarding my claim soon. I expect the news to hear next will be to speak to a decision review officer, and then if I’m lucky a yes to my claim. I say lucky because even though I deserve this claim, I do not pretend to understand how the VA makes its decisions and I do not think it means an automatic yes. If I receive a yes from the VA and after I get myself out of trouble, maybe I can send you as little financial help of my own, but I seriously hope by that time you are out of hot water too. I know how stressful these types of situations are, and I don’t wish this on anyone, especially a fellow Browncoat.

Shiny news!

I finally found a job!

Thanks again to all who helped carry me (financially, spiritually, morally, etc.), and kept me from being on the drift! It really made a difference. You made a difference. THANK YOU! XIE XIE! I can't say it enough. Browncoats are incredible people, no one can prove otherwise!

For those interested, I got on with DHL, and I start on the 22nd of this month! I'll be working 3rd shift, part-time, as a mail/package sorter at the Cincinnati Airport.

Guess that means I'll be out in the black loading some bulk transports! Here's hoping it leads to bigger and better things! (like maybe a M-F 1st shift full-time position!) At least I have my foot in the door, and there are good benefits and perks, as well as the fact they are a strong international company!

Thanks again!

Still Flyin'!

Hey, congrats! From what I hear, DHL is a great company. Lots of mobility if you work hard and is willing to move around a bit to get the positions.

Watch out for large coffin-sized crates...I hear tell you can get in a peck of trouble for transporting human cargo...

Yea! I am so glad to hear that!!! What good news in this bad time of no jobs. See what good, Browncoat mojo can do. Thanks for coming back to the board to let us know, I was just thinking about you over the week-end. I'm so glad you found work, hopefully you can enjoy this summer still.

I hope so too, I keep pulling for you, but I know it's tough down there in the Lone Star State. I've got a friend who lives outside Dallas and he's struggled with finding work time & time again despite having a degree.

SimonWho: Yep! Here's hoping there's no cattle...just things with smallish droppings like black market beagles.

FillyGirl: Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes! It's amazing how having a job again really bolsters one's self-confidence and self-worth.

BWAH!

HUGS to TCM so glad you got the job!! We've all been sending you the best shiny vibes and energy we had

To those still looking I suggest you check in with local school districts who will be hiring for teachers assistance ( you only need a high school diploma and willingness to work with kids) might be some openings. Not the best pay but ok benefits...
