When she went to get her baby a social security card she marked Native and the woman marked through it. So my cousin called the woman on it and the woman got really hateful about it and demanded proof. After my cousin showed both their tribal enrollment cards and the babies birth certificate the woman said, "Well you cant get any money for it anyway," as if they were trying to get a handout or something. I guess thetas the kind of thing that happens when you have hillbillies running the state. <<So I explain to them, that not only is it near the beginning of my 10 hour shift, but that my job consists primarily of strenuous labor (figuring I can scam an extra hour or so off the line this way), they send me back anyway, but with the new warning that if I'm going to pass out on the line, that I should tell someone first. bastards.>> My Mom is in charge of getting people to donate to blood assurance at her work, and the maintenance workers there never would donate in the mornings at all. They had Mom reschedule the time so the bloodmobile would come later in the day when they weren't doing any strenuous of work. Ya'll might persuade the company you work for to do the same so you wouldnt be at risk. Peace OOT
