Friday the 13th brought out the fools.

Last night, I parked my car in about the same spot I do every night. Was settling in when I noticed a group drinking in the lot. Was still early .. around 7:30 so walked over to the lake to have dinner (a fruit salad and bread made from quinoa). Police drove by, so I told them about the drinking. Well they did find the group, spent some time there then moved on. Don't know what was said but, they continued to drink the night away till after 11. This night seemed to have more street people in the park, fewer families for sure. A nice breeze picked up later in the eve.
Sleep wasn't sound but OK once I feel asleep. Still not a comfortable car to sleep in.
This morning I got a whiff of something foul and realized it was me so decided to shower at the one of park districts fitness centers. Walking into the building I got stopped by a neo Nazi park district employee. Yelling at me for not having my shirt on (was draped over shoulders) and telling me I couldn't shower (she saw towel and I was near entry to locker room.) Anyway got to shower but why the over reaction?? Could have approached me civilly, after all Im not a 20 something punk but a senior .............. some respect please!
After shower and clean clothes, I headed to alderman's office to discuss a program called Career Tech Chicago. Its federal funds for computer training ........... 6 months long with stipend of $300/week. I tried getting into it last May but didn't qualify because I was unemployed prior to 2008 and because I didn't collect Unemployment Insurance. YA I KNOW ?????????? WTF
Thought alderman had pull and would get me in since his assistant called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about it ( I already knew and told her why I didn't get in) ......... after contacting numerous people the answer came back as NO couldn't go outside the box. Anyway, the first thing said to me as I walked into office was that they weren't social services (this is the alderman's assistant). WTF, she is there to serve his constituents no matter what the reason. Comment didn't sit well with me. Getting pissier and pissier as the day progresses.
Alderman's assistant finds out that today is the last day for applications to be accepted for next round of classes. So went over to coffee shop to use WIFI and applied on line. While at coffee shop, I returned a bottle of water I purchased previously to this visit. It was foul tasting and had things floating in it. Think it may have been carbon filter residue, kinna smelled like a water filter does. SO the counter person implies that whatever was in the bottle, got in there after I opened it. WTF AGAIN I was asking for a replacement, not the store. Instead of being concerned that the product line might be contaminated, he implies I did it. DUH ever hear of RECALLS? Oh he pours it out instead of showing it to the supplier. BTW I emailed the supplier later.
SO after hours of calling, calling back and being passed around, the alderman's assistant got a firm answer NO. Do you get the irony? Cant be in the program cuz Ive been unemployed to long and cuz I am not collecting unemployment insurance nor did I collect unemployment insurance (Needed proof of either to qualify).
Alderman has this Friday night thing where he goes out to a local establishment (5 to 7) to meet his constituents so the place gets focused on as one of the wards nice places to go. Tonight they are passing snacks and 1 free drink (its a bar so I guess alcohol will be served). Not sure if I should go. Will see.
Don't know why but haven't been hungry the last week. I do eat because I know its needed to keep ya going but I nibble & that's it. Today, just had one bite of bread and water & its 4:30. May lose some pounds, maybe already have. Noticed shoes are easier to tie LOL Who knew I had fat feet?
SO 3 fools in a succession and all within 2 hours made me angry all day. What ever happened with service with a smile?
