Damn Steve, hope your luck improves some day.

Better times ahead Steve

Well, I've left this hanging for two months, and things are improving - sort of.

I still haven't found a job I can do, but just a couple of days ago I got a call from a VA rep. She wanted to know when I was ready to move.

Move? I've been living in the homeless shelter for almost three months now, and I had no idea what she was talking about. Well, when I first met her back in November apparently she put me on a list for VA housing and I just plain forgot.

So today I was placed in a program for displaced veterans and moved into what is essentially a hotel room. Small, but it has everything I need (including internet) and it's a whole lot better than having 400 roommates.

So I should be online for myself in a few days and not have to come to the library any more. And cook my own food. And sleep in or stay out late if I need to.

Good news Steve, let us know when you are settled in, you can give us a description/layout of the apartment!

Sailor Steve · 04-26-10, 08:02 PM

Well, so far it looks just like a hotel room.

UnderseaLcpl · 04-26-10, 08:27 PM

Glad to hear you got a good place to stay, Steve. And look! You have a good place to hang out and post on Subsim, too! Hopefully, your luck is turning!

That's great Steve! Maybe things will turn completely 180 and you'll be back up in no time
