Me too. This isn't a punishment that is proportionate to missing a fucking appointment, and continuing to fuck him over with this halfway house nonsense is just compounding the injustice, and I want to do something. Is there ANYthing I can do?

I want to do something as well but so far I haven't been able to figure anything out. The only clear way out for him now is to get a job and he's doing everything he possibly can. He had a good interview yesterday and is going to a temp agency tomorrow. He'd planned on going today but he turned on his pass request 45 minutes too late. Assholes.

He's also ignoring Goodwill's previous proscription against going for temp work, because, like their dumbfuck rule against commission based jobs, they have "no standing" to interpret the court order that way. The only thing the job needs to be is "wage attachable" so...fuck them. The judge said so.

Same! This was back in the days of Lotus 1-2-3 and Word (DOS versions), before we were "upgraded" to QuattroPro & AmiPro!

God, I loved QuatroPro! It's what I used when I started my own accounting biz. I used Peachtree accounting software - back when it was DOS-based and a total PITA to use.

Dumbass rules that block things we like? Job killer!! Dumbass rules that block things we don't like? There are rules gahdambit and Jesus Jugs Devos is gonna enforce them; if you don't like em you can get out!

I sure as fuck hope the Judge remembers what they said, when Goodwill refuses to let him take the job and he takes them back to court again. And that next time, his asshole ex isn't fucking invited.

Yes, the wrong kind of double spacing is an egregiously stupid reason to reject a grant application. However, the NEA, for instance, would reject grant applications for using margins that were too small, and yes they used a literal ruler. It's seems stupid, but these requirements are very clearly stated, and if these were in fact applicants who have done this before then they should know better, and in fact are EQUALLY liable for screwing these kids over.

And the reason they have these seemingly ridiculous spacing rules is that people try to sneak in extra verbiage in the idiot belief that more words help their chances, instead of just adding to the time that overworked government employees have to spend doing their jobs.

The M and N are out of order. Is that a submliminable message?

I think we need a new guide for how to respond to the current administration (notice that I avoid saying the title and the name together, that's deliberate)

So, various forms of the f word and other expletives. Example: when the head of the administrative branch of government says something hateful, the appropriate response is: "fuck that fucking fucker" or something along those lines. Who would like to write this new very necessary manual?

Now that is what the FOIA is for.
