matrixrefugee: the word 'refugee' in electric green with a background of green matrix code ("Welcome to my Life")

"Patch days and maintenance downtime are hell". Just had to hurry off EvE Online, since the server is going down for maintenance. Hopefully that will correct the login ditheriness that's been happening lately. I was running around New Eden, trying to collect fittings for my destroyer, since we've currently had some corp declare war on us, out of the blue: most likely some 12 year olds with nothing better to do than pick corporation names out of a hat and decide to declare war on them. This is nerve-wracking to say the least, since I've been trying to save up ISK (in-game currency) buy a game time code, since my finances have been cut to the marrow, thus I've had to buy a new fighter ship and new fittings and I won't be able to get much mining in since we're supposed to be sticking close to station, in case any troublemakers find us out asteroid mining. There goes a good piece of my nest-egg. Life is imitating my online gaming in more ways than I care for right now...

Now it looks like I might have to go on Mass. Health, the state's subsidized health care for low-income people. Turns out the funding to Catholic Charities got cut and they won't be able to offer counselling to non-insured people. Not that I want to, since I've had enough with bureaucratic nonsense to last me a lifetime -- thank you very much, Social Security and Mass. Rehab.

Why is it that the people who have harder lives due to disabilities have to have everything else made even more challenging by these bureaucratic hoops that the so-called normal people have to make us jump through?! I'm tempted to make them jump through a few myself, but I don't want to stoop to their level.

Back to the EvE of War... I've been liberally quoting the line, "What if they threw a war and nobody showed up?" since so far, the war declare-ers have not shown their faces anywhere near our home base, and they haven't even been online, either.

I hear you there. And not only that, but it seems like three strikes:

1. Goverment/Businesses screw you over for having disabilities
2. Normal people sometimes just don't get how hard it is (the phrase "JUST GET OVER IT" comes to mind) and sometimes also screw you over (worse if they get Government jobs)
3. You have the disability in the first place

Sometimes I console myself with the idea that Karma or God or what have you is going to reward those who struggle the hardest, eventually...
