I was working as a security guard, minimum wage went up past what we were making so there was no point in me staying and risking my life for minimum wage. So I quit. They were also ripping me off in pay, and I was getting like 14 hours a week unless there was a big fire or something. Plus you can get fibromyalgia I think it is from standing in one place too long, which I did a lot of.
I was also placed in the psych ward for a month because I smoke pot and they thought I was schizophrenic. But something really bad had happened to me that I'd rather not say, and thats why I appeared to be schizophrenic. I told the doctors and they didn't believe me at all. They said it was a dream. It quickly subsided within a month or two. But that gave me an in on provincial assistance. I get $700 a month just because I was in the psych ward. No questions asked. When I get a job, they will still pay me at a reduced rate depending on how much I make. Plus with the other help I get through I guess councilor kinda dealy I have a free ride to any college/university I want, including books just because I was in the psych ward. All I have to do is prove I'm capable of going to school.
The government run liquor store is hiring from now till christmas and I got an interview this month so I'm hoping for a job, and possibly a perm job afterwards. Working for the government kicks ass, really nice pay, awesome benefits, zero unions, and they treat you very good.
