On Government Doles
I'm not one who likes to take money without working for it, but these days, I reluctantly find myself on multiple government doles (check my usage :-). Disability insurance (non-government), social security, and unemployment. And no, it isn't considered double-dipping, else I wouldn't be posting it. It works out to be enough to get me by. Anyone who's been out of work for more than a few weeks knows how dull and undesirable a state that is. Add to it chemotherapy and it becomes 100x worse. But I'm hopeful to return to a "productive roll" in society at some point in the near future. Not that I consider myself unproductive at the moment. It's just a type of productivity that doesn't and shouldn't pay.
