Working Poor

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I had to apply for assistance some years ago while I was waiting for Social Security Disability to be approved, and the attitude of the person behind the counter was absolutely demeaning. She looked at me and said, "You look able to find a job."

She had no idea what was going on or why I would be considered disabled for several years, but she was automatically disdainful - like I hadn't been through a battery of medical tests already to prove my eligibility. I was angry for a long time, which didn't help my condition at all.

Anyone who needs to deal with these petty, power-tripping types needs a thick skin, and it's disgusting.
