Thanks John, I filed today using the biggest SSDI firm in Austin. Doesn't really matter but things are finally started. I can see several homeless scenarios but I'll get through this.
I agree about work but when my brother died shortly before I was laid off something died in me. I've had many jobs and still managed to find the next one pretty fast. Not this time. Laid off 1/11 and haven't even gotten my mind together to do a resume.
Maybe I'll move to South Texas and get a job driving a tractor. That was my first job. Ten hours a day on a two row stalk-cutter with no shade in close to 100 degree heat. My stepfather got rich farming 6000 acres by not buying an umbrella for my tractor. My skin cancer thanks him.
I could just play drums but nobody is making money in Austin. Too many bands here.
4-6 months to see if I'm approved the first time. If it ends up going to a judge, I'm homeless. That wasn't in my life plan.
