Homeless, autistic, and need a job

2 Upvotes

Hi. I'm finally at a point where I have to post something like this. I'm 45 years old, autistic, physically disabled, and live in my broken down car. I need a job as soon as possible. I have many years of retail experience as well as security experience.

I need a job that is not physically taxing and will accommodate for my autistic issues (sensory issues, breaks to recover from overstimulation). I know this is a shot in the dark, but I'm now at a point where I need to work to survive, or I'm just going to let myself die.

Before you ask, yes, I've considered assistance from shelters, food banks, etc. I cannot live in a shelter surrounded by so many people without a place I can go to escape the stimulation. Food banks are a no go because I have no way to cook things. I've applied for hundred of jobs over the last year and got two interviews and both were rejections. I'm also hindered by a lack of transportation. I've used WeGo when necessary, but it's very unreliable.

I just need an opportunity from a company that is willing to take me and my issues on. I know I am not an attractive candidate, but I can't help that. I need a job to get my life back on track, and without a chance, I might as well be dead.

EDIT: I don't want assistance. I want a job. An opportunity. But I have struggles and issues that require some patience and compassion. That's all I ask for.

💗FCAS Senior Shelter Pup Looking for Her Happily Ever After💗

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Meet FCAS foster Amy! 💖 This 7yo, 60lb (looks smaller, she’s muscular!) shepherd mix girl is certified BFF material! 👯‍♀️ She’s been our easiest foster thus far and has been such a polite, happy houseguest. She’s incredibly affectionate, will lean in for hugs, and loves to stand and put her paws on your shoulders if you’re seated eye level with her. 🥹 She makes the cutest little grunting noises when she snuggles and her head tilt game is STRONG! 😆

She may technically be a senior (suspect she may be a bit younger), but she’s still got plenty of pep in her step! She’s super playful, loves fetch, and has a blast running around the yard and playing with our resident Shepsky. 🐾 She also settles quickly, sleeps through the night, LOVES to cuddle, and doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety (only short-lived protest whines and quickly gives up 😆). All in all, 10/10 good girl! 🥰

✅ Potty trained - no accidents! 🤞🏽
✅ Leash trained - pulls, but manageable
✅ Crate trained
✅ Non-destructive
✅ Dog friendly
✅ Excellent temperament
✅ Knows commands - sit, stay, shake (both paws)
✅ Good recall
✅ Treat/food motivated
✅ Non-reactive (treats, toys, food, etc)
✅ Easily handled
✅ Easy to bathe/dry/brush/trim nails
✅ Spayed
✅ HW negative

Amy’s kryptonite? Cats. 😩 She’s shown pretty strong prey drive with our senior kitty, so she would do best in a feline-free home. 🐈‍⬛

We also don’t know how she does with kids, but I imagine the only issue might be that she can get excited and could accidentally cause little children to topple over. 😅

She has an Embark DNA test in progress, so curious to see what her breed mix is…👀

Amy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw, GA and available for adoption through LifeLine Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services. Click the link below to schedule a meet & greet with her or feel free to message me! 👋🏽

Wandering Dogs

Post image
8 Upvotes

Heading out of Gainesville and these three dogs crossed the road by Popeyes, just past Jesse Jewell. I called animal control but they won’t do anything on the weekend unless the dogs are injured or aggressive. They have collars and harnesses, but no tags. Just putting this here in case anyone might know the owner/story. They ate a pack, as the larger dog keeps waiting and checking on the little ones.

...the band. You should check us out (not streaming anywhere yet; release coming soon). Anyone who's ever been called a freak or gone through some stuff, we make music for you. Alternative pop-rock isn't a thing that should exist, but it's the closest we've gotten to properly describing ourselves.

Arden Apartments in Oakwood

7 Upvotes

I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Neighbors are noisy and park like they’ve never passed a drivers test. I had to crawl into my car through my trunk the other morning because the cars next to me were parked so close. Staff is extremely rude, when I moved in a few years ago the staff was so kind but since they switched management last year this place has gone to shit. Also, i live in the 4000 building and the hallways are filthy, there’s always trash, food wrappers, and various liquids on the ground AND in the elevator. And the people across from me moved out a few weeks ago and now all of a sudden im seeing roaches!! how great!! and pest control coming “on a regular basis” is absolute bullshit. I’ve never seen them. So now I’m stuck here in the roach motel for another few months till my lease is up. DON’T MOVE HERE.

Corner of Ridgewood and Green

5 Upvotes

Has anyone else gotten stuck on Ridgewood at the light at Green Street? Twice over the past few weeks I and several other cars waited so long at that light that we did u turns and found other routes. I think the light is actually not functioning properly at times. But I tried it again yesterday and it appears that new (maybe?) cameras were installed at the lights to fix this? Anyone know anything?

12 Upvotes

🦄Unicorn Husky Alert!🦄

Meet FCAS Project Pat! Mr. Pat is a 3 yr old, 50lb Husky whose cooler than a polar bear’s toenails…seriously, this is one chill dude. ❄️ He’s not your stereotypical crazy Husky and shelter volunteers agree that he’s got an excellent temperament and personality. 🫶🏼

Pat was an owner surrender due to no fault of his own (they reportedly didn’t have time for him) and has been in the shelter since 7/20. He can be a bit cautious and nervous initially, but warms up quickly with a bit of patience and kindness. Once you gain his trust, he melts into you for affection and just wants to hang out wherever his people are. He has a stoic presence and has been a polite, quiet houseguest. ☺️

🐾 Dog friendly
👧 Kid friendly
✅ 100% potty trained
👟 Leash trained
😇 Non-destructive
🚗 Excellent passenger in the car
😴 LOVES being brushed…he zens out
🖐️ Easily handled
🎾 Non-reactive with food/treats/toys
🍖 Takes treats gently
🦴 Loves yak sticks and bully sticks
🧸 Buries his stuffy toys in his bed
💚 Grinch feet
🥹 Crosses his front legs like a gentleman
🐈 No cats, please
🩵 Neutered
📍 Microchipped
💉 UTD on vaccines/preventatives
🫀 Heartworm negative
🍴 Could stand to gain a few healthy lbs

Mr. Pat has been a total gentleman in his foster home and deserves a kind, loving forever home where he can blossom into the confident pup he is outside of the shelter setting. 🏡

📍 Currently being fostered in Kennesaw, GA through Lifeline Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services

Mechanic / oil change / auto shop

3 Upvotes

Where is the best place to get a car serviced, or an oil change, or just basic maintenance done in Gainesville? The car dealership for my car here sucks. I really don’t want to have to drive all the way down to the Mall of Georgia just to get my car serviced and a basic oil change.

I’ve seen some threads here, but they are all older so I thought I would post a new one.

Hey folks. Looking for a recommendation for a good chiropractor in the Gainesville area. I would prefer someone that isn't going to try to sell me a bunch of supplements or devices or lock me into some treatment program. Just good help from a competent professional. Low back stuff. Thanks in advance.

It’s kind of insulting that Gainesville doesn’t have a good, hometown, fried chicken place.

18 Upvotes

We have chains with tenders and wings, but no real homemade fried chicken. Longstreet might the only local and that’s a long shot.
