2/29/20 -- Good Grief!!! This is like the umpteenth time that I have been close to be being sucked into a scam! This time I was sucked a bit deeper than ever before because it's so damn good!!! This time it took a bit longer for me to catch on that this attempt to get employed is a scam. This is the second time that I have had someone attempt to scam me as I am trying to get employed. This job was supposed to be a work from home job. However, this company is a in home care company or a nursing facility. So, after being sick for close to two weeks, I ended up talking to my cable/mobile carrier who then agrees with me, that the way this company wants to do their business.
You see; as I am supposed to be employed by this company - they want me to use their equipment but the catch is - they needed access to my online account with my cable/mobile carrier. I let them by giving them the info they needed (stupid mistake) plus I had given them my ss number (another super stupid mistake) Their reasoning behind this is to order equipment on an already established account will be easier than establishing a new account of their own. Which, in all reality is a huge lie!!!!! Thankfully, my customer service person in my cable/mobile carrier is pretty smart; not to mention the fact that as I was reciting all that had happened, that is when it dawned on me that it didn't make sense. One of them many things that don't make sense is the fact that a home care company would need people to work from home as assistant administrators. That really doesn't make sense, at all.
I put a complete stop on everything, even my security company for my computer that includes an identity protection company spotted a problem and notified me and I told them that I didn't authorize anything.

More Different
2/23/20 -- So much more different things going on: I was given a link by a man who found me on Instagram. This job is for a home care company, but it will be working from home as an Administrative Assistant. This whole process has been done completely online. There hasn't been visual meetings, just communication online, only. I had to open a new bank account (to protect my personal account from theft) so that this company can deposit money into it an have online access to it. I wasn't about to let them have access to my personal account, online or otherwise. I have been scam attempted so many times that I wasn't about to knowingly allow them to do anything to jeopardize what little money I have. So, I opened an account, strictly online and they have access to it for now. The whole idea being that they will provide money to purchase the equipment that I need to work for them from home. So, I found a bank that would allow me to put the least amount possible to open the account, so that if they end up being a fake, I am not out any money of my own.
So far, this seems to be legit, so far. I am still treading carefully.

Something Different
2/21/20 -- Ok, so this past couple of days has been rather interesting. There is a couple that live upstairs and across the hall from me. The woman treats her husband like a slave or a maid. She is a very stubborn and hardheaded woman. I don't think I have known any other woman to as hardheaded as she is. To the point that I have chosen the times with which to address things with her that I see she should deal with and change to go along with the things that get on her nerves concerning her husband. I swear, she spends more time cutting him down, in front of everyone, including his friends, parents, and even her children of whom she has joint custody of and gets every other weekend with.
I have more involved with their marriage than i think is healthy for me, especially have this last blow up, that was nothing like their last one. Involved with meaning - that both of them have come to me individually and together, to help them work things out.
Anyway, things came to a head between them and I just didn't have the sense to stay out of it, so then I got yelled at for confronting her with the things that she does and how I have seen her treat her own husband.(as has her boys, seen how she treats their stepdad) Even her boys have brought that very thing up to her and she somehow manages to make and excuse for the way she treats him.
This woman is an expert in reasoning things in her head, rehearsing it so that when she actually says it, it's believable to the person who she is telling.
To say the least, since that blow up, she had moved some stuff but then ended up moving back in. Somehow, I knew that this separation wasn't going to last as long as it should have. I know the things that I have said because I live in the front of the building as they do and their vehicles are parked in the front, as mine is. So, whenever someone leaves or returns I generally pay attention to that stuff. I don't think that either one of them can live without each other, in a weird sort of way. Unless, this a complete cohabitation, I kinda doubt it. They have had a real strange marriage, and I think that I have more that enough of the crap they deal to each other and I will no longer be telling them any personal stuff because she will turn around and use it against you, when she is angry with you. She does that to her husband, all the time. What irritates me the most is that I have helped helped them out by doing more than just listen to them gripe about each other. So, therefore I don't appreciate being treated the way she did me that night. Even now, I have yet to hear from either one of them, however, I think its fine with me me because I don't think I want any more of their type of drama.

Life
2/17/20 -- Here it is 2020 and we are already February, the last part of February. I have been quite awhile without a job, and even my car was needing repair, to the point of grounding me to the town I live in. I broke down and asked my mom to help me with getting my car repaired. She did and even told me that she was going to help me out anyway. As a result I have some money sitting in my savings account. Boy, once my car was repaired I felt like a freed bird. Good grief, I felt like I was trapped and it was driving me crazy.
Once the car was fixed that freed me up to start looking for jobs. I couldn't look for a job without having a reliable car to drive.
Then, I met a guy on Instagram who hooked me up with a job that will allow me to work from home. Now, of course, I am about leary on the whole internet contact, only, but I am prepared for it to be a crappy scam. It does look legit, but we'll see. If this job actually pans out, it'll be perfect to be able to work from home and I will be able to afford to do things, that I normally can't afford.
