I don't think I have, but I don't know how I can get to that stage when my calls are ignored. I know that social workers are probably answering tons of other people's calls every minute of the day, sure, but it has been 3 years of getting mucked around that has lead to my extreme frustration. My mother tries to defend him by saying that he just puts an ad out there and it's whoever answers it, but surely, surely there's nowhere left by this point. Simply put, social services have had so many cutbacks, that they really don't want to 'justify paying for support' that they think will not be useful. But apparently, according to what my mother told me, the social worker is okay with assigning support for sporting events. Really?

Where I live (which is in Edinburgh), there's only really two major mental heath related agencies in my general circle. The other care agencies are mainly for care required in the home. Elderly people and the physically disabled fall into this category. It was daft of him to acquire a guy from a nursing agency to support me when I have nothing wrong with me physically. Therefore, some poor old granny likely lost out on 6 hours of support, because he was assigned to me instead of who actually truly needed it. Autism support workers are who should help autistic people and so on and so forth, yet from my own experience of dealing with them, they haven't got a clue about anything and certain support workers like to behave in a pretentious way to come across as being smarter than their clients are.

Can I ask a question about a semi-related matter while I'm here? What law states you cannot add an entry regarding a film on a database, or submit an entry on the biggest film database online, if you're actually in it? I'm asking this question because I had someone gripe at me before about me putting a short film on there. She wasn't happy that I added it on YouTube either. That's fair enough, as I did pinch it, and I don't have a say in what gets uploaded where and when, seeing as how I don't have any ownership of the film or major involvement beyond being an extra. However, putting an entry on a film database is not illegal. It all seems a bit petty to me. Now she has cost me parts in a few short films, as she is working as a camera assistant on them just now, and instructed several people she knows to fob me off when I asked about being an extra on Facebook very recently.

Think how that sounds. I'd asked to be an...extra! That's rather malicious. Ain't it? It was actually her own producer that added it on YouTube almost a year ago. All I did was save it. Who is it really hurting? It's a 6 minute film, for crying out loud. Nobody will even remember any of these short films that are shown at the festivals by no-name directors in a few years from now. Will they?
