Im sorry but having read the article are we meant to feel sorry for you? You have not worked for 3 years and have claimed over 30k in benfits. Geez.

In 2010 I worked 3 days and then was sent home.   I happen to come off a second back surgery earlier this year, and now trying to get back on my feet.  Still have not gotten clearance from a doctor to be able to lift, which impacts a lot of work. In 2009, I worked 20-30 hours doing Jr. Tech stuff via Manpower, which didn't pan out.  I also, since 2007, started a non-profit, put in long hours and didn't get paid for any of it.  I got a ton of grief from that actually.  I ended up maxing out my unemployment in the mean time.  I also returned back home so I wouldn't lose everything and fully be on welfare.

Reality?  You think I want anyone to feel sorry?  What I want is a break to get things work.  I certainly want no pity, and with your attitude you display, I certain don't figure you are a person who is going to be of much help to anyone.
