Well, I actually called my father at the last resort the night before and he said would take me, but then he called back at 12:30am to ask me to call and try to reschedule in the morning, but he was acting like he would still do it if I couldn't get it rescheduled. So I did call and I waited on the phone on hold for 30 mins, then someone actually answered the phone and transferred me to the Public Housing intake person, who wasn't there. On the answering machine it said she'd be back the next day. So I called my father to tell him. And all he said was "did you reschedule it?" I said no and explained. And he just said "well, I guess you'll have to call back them tomorrow, bye." And he hung up. I was soooo mad at him and he sounded really creepy on the phone, like he was doing something wrong. I know it's best I don't see him, and I've known all my life I'd never be able to trust him or depend on him for anything, but he wasn't doing anything yesterday! And this was so important. I've been waiting to get into public housing for almost a year now and I can't afford to wait any longer. I only have $100! I need to get a job a.s.a.p. Well, I called another number that was on the letter they sent me with my appointment date and time on it. And that sent me to another answering machine, which said the offices were closed the 28th due to weather (? not sure why?). And it said that if you have an appointment on the 29th, then call before you come to make sure the offices were open. Well, this was the 31, but I'm wondering if maybe they were closed. I left a message to tell them I had to reschedule, because I couldn't find a ride with my name and number, so at least they have that on the record that I did call. I was gonna call back today, but I forgot. I had a lot of things to do. I was going to try to look into the churches for help. Someday I'll get around to it. I was hoping to go down to the church close by for Easter, since someone from the church came here the other day and gave us some bread and pamphlets. We were really hungry, so I saw it as a sign and a miracle. It was a very special day. =D
