Another week has passed, so what happened?

Hi my fellow WA members,

Thank you for stopping by and read my blog post. In today's blog post I want to share this week's progress with you.

- First of all, I managed to write three blog posts this week. Yeah! That's right on schedule.

Here they are:

- I left some comments on websites of other WA members

- I answered some questions of other WA members, including helping one member via PM

- I decided to explore the "stumbleupon" website to share my posts with other people. For those of you who are interested, I could create some training on this as soon as I'm allowed to (3 month mark and all)

Then there's some non WA related progress I made.

Before I'll get into details, I think it's important to give you some background info about myself.

- Because of my Aspergers Syndrome it's impossible for me to keep a regular job and because of that the Dutch government supports me financially. In addition, they've given me a so called "job coach" to see if I could contribute to society in my own way.

- I live on my own and I have weekly meetings to make sure that things are going okay and there are no problems, either financially or otherwise. I'd like to refer to this situation as supervised living.

Well, now I can share my non WA related progress with you.

As all of you guys know, I'm in the process of moving to Cebu. However, in my case this requires some third parties to give their final "Ok" on this. My job coach and supervisor are helping me with this.

I sent some emails last week and I kept on checking my email box in case the recipients of my emails sent a reply. They didn't and I kind of felt frustrated about it. Luckily, this week I received a reply on those emails. So what happened next?

- My job coach called me to say she was very surprised about what I emailed her the other week

- I told her about something I discovered regarding my welfare paycheck (if that's the right word).

She said she would call the Dutch government herself to verify. She called me back right away saying that what I discovered seems to be correct. Well, let's say I have a 80% guarantee that it's correct. You know, the person I have to discuss my moving plans with could always say that it's not correct. In that case it would mean that they reduce my welfare paycheck by 50%. I won't freak out now and just let it come my way.

- My job coach also advised me to call some organizations for more information.

Let it be known that I absolutely HATE making phone calls. Luckily, I found out that I don't have to contact one of the two organizations I had to call. Simply because I'm moving outside of Europe. The other organization, however, I still need to call. I decided to discuss with my supervisor whether my social worker could help me with that.

She agreed with me so after Thursday's meeting I emailed my social worker and explained my situation to her. I hope she'll reply on Monday or Tuesday. Would be great to end my 27th year on this earth with some good news. Yes guys, Thursday November 20 is my birthday. My dad, his new wife and my grandparents will visit me on Thursday morning.

Um... Let me think.. Did I forget something? I don't think so. So, once again I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my blog post. Have a great weekend and a great week everyone!
