Oh recession.. lean on me, I've got large shoulders.

The economy.. yeeesh.

I work for what people typically call the "welfare" department for the state. I've worked for the state for 4 and a half years now, and up until last week, had always felt untouchable in my position. You would think that as the economy gets worse, the last place the state would cut the budget is the department of economic security... I was wrong. My agency hired 200 new people less than two months ago because of the economy. When you're hired on with our agency it takes about 4 months of training in order for you to be completely able to do your job. 150 of the 200 new hires were fired last week, the rest of the lot is just sitting around because the agency cancelled all training classes due to budget constraints. We're screwed.. bottom line. Things are only going to get worse.

So, with this being said.. if you're applying for food stamps, medicaid, or cash assistance and your not getting the service you believe you deserve, SORRY! We're working with what Uncle Sam has provided. We'll be lucky if we have pens next month.

I need to go back to school.
