reply

Tell a member of staff or call the police?

What are 'they' doing exactly?

reply

Using third party apps

Ya know the ones snowden never talks about

I just got a job and they wanting me to pull nightshift here for free .

The director said not to worry after I told him I cannot do it

I vaccum the hallway and clean the restroom

But this poor guy coly whom does labor for free around here to keep the house running keeps taking the garbage out of the restroom and i just got the job so i havent been cleaning the restroom, bunch of people here caught some kind of stomach bug and my digestion was messed up using miralax because not having a gallbladder and no vegetables to eat

Theres free food but no vegetables and i need those for my digestive ststem, i have no gall bladder, so i leave in the morning and eat vegtables

reply

Haven't you got a friend you can stay with instead?

reply

Im a disabled schizophrenic, just got a part time job and working towards an apartment or low income housing with the social worker

Which ever comes first

I HAVE a RIGHT TO EQUAL OPPORTunity EMPLOYMENt and not being asked to do nightshift for free

reply

Have they threatened to kick you out if you refuse? You should check your tenancy contract, if it doesn't mention anything about cleaning then they can't evict you. Sounds like you're already helping out around the property so i can't see how they would be able to justify it.

Ask your social worker for advice.

Director just said not to worry , i was running around like an idiot last week to get my antipsychotic inject and the next day the dentist, both were on opposite side of town than my job

I didnt get any sleep those days im feeling better now though and they move the other guy to a different room that comes how at 130am

reply

OK. You're over thinking this I think.
Put your mind at ease and have a chat with the director again. Just to double check that your room is safe.
Tell him you are happy to help tidy up in your spare time, but you can't commit to a set role in the property as you have another job. He should understand- his role is to help people move forward with their lives, not to have slave labour.

Who wants you to "pull a night shift for free"? The shelter, or your employer? \

Because if it's the shelter, perhaps it isn't a terrible thing to contribute to the running of a shelter that's undoubtedly underfunded, as long as it doesn't interfere with your paid work.

reply

Can I call the cops for them using third party apps to keep the house running?

reply

Depends what they're doing with the third party apps.

reply

Reading between the lines, I think he means an App that allows people to use your own phone to spy on you (App Master Andy).

reply

Yeah, deffo a good reason to call the cops.

reply

Mind you, I’m just guessing - he might mean something completely different, lol.

reply

What do you mean third party apps?

reply

Apps as powerful as NSA pegasus anyone can use

reply

Call the cops: sounds illegal to me.

reply

Im waiting on an apartment application to get approved this week

If i have to stay I will

reply

What's that got to do with doing dodgy stuff with apps?

reply

My family will kill me if I mess this shelter situation up, my father gave me money combined with my paycheck to place a deposit on the apartment.

Not everyone here has a nice enough father with enough chump change to throw their way, my father was hardworking lower middle class

Hes retired now

reply

Why are your family making you live in a homeless shelter?

reply

Because they have there own life and families, im 44. They got me on disability so I would not be a problem for them and im schizophrenic, schizo affective bi polar

reply

Sorry man but I don't follow.

reply

I don’t understand why you’re being vague.
You’re asking for help/advice but you dance around questions and speak in riddles.
What do you mean using third party apps? What apps? Using them to do what?

It seems either you’re delusional or you’re trolling here on a movie board just for kicks.

reply

I have mental problems and im homeless , you do the fucking math genius
