A Strange Day
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and that you have been working hard this week in your jobs.
Today has been a strange day for me as I started off work by getting in late( oops, I know I overslept!) so I went in to work and carried on as normal doing the paperwork as I always do.
While I was at work there was a lady from America who had worked with us before but she works in America as a Self Advocate Leader in an Outreach team. They do brilliant work there and the lady who was called Ann Blackburn gave me some leaflets. Anyone who lives in America like Gimpy Mumpy might have heard of that company before. Mumpy do you know it? I hope she does, The company named SAAL is an organisation that works for disabled Americans giving them freedom of self advocacy and disability rights.
Anyway all the leaflets Ann gave me were interesting and the website looked interesting too which I looked on. I will probably give to you soon if you lot are intterested.
After work Ela my Transition worker phoned me up and this is where the strange bit comes as she wanted me to get my CV ready as she has found me a different work place. I dam a bit apprehensive about it as I love working at H.A.D and would miss all my friends there, and also I think I would find having two jobs hard. I will do the CV but these thoughts are in my mind still.
H.A.D has taught me a lot while I've been working there, It's taught me to understand more about disablity rights and basically the most important thing is to do with being more adult to work in a fully paid job.
Anyone who has a disability and works will agree with me and any others will too. Having a job is necessary for all adults to earn money, and if you have a job which I know most of you do, It gives you an enormous amount of satisfaction and you need a job to earn a living. I feel more of an adult when I've been working at the disabilty charity and I reckon I have become more mature too, and I have been able to work problems outr in the job easily too.
Finally, I know that most of you blogpals have been recieving a lot of unwanted spam in your comments boxes, The easy way to make sure this doesn't happen is to turn on "word verification" in your Settings and Comments bit of your blogs. As you can see down in my comments box I have turned it on. Hopefully this will stop it happening.
Bye for now blogpals!

Thanks to the spammers by the way. you've made my job of responding a little bit difficult now. i can get away with reding a lot of the word verifications but, some I can get a little unstuck with. nearly made a mistake with one word verif. Not you're fault at all Katie. These spammers have to ruin it :(
anyway, I can understand what you mean about work and what it gives you as a disabled person. I've never been in work to fully experience this feeling. HOwever, I'm on workstep and, I'm making efforts to get into work somehow. We'll see how it goes :)
Sounds like big things in your life are happening and great changes afoot. :)

It was interesting to read your comment, Justin. I had been wondering about the accessibility of Word Verification. I haven't turned it on on my blog yet - I quite like the spam. It makes me feel popular!
