I can understand nervousness and feeling under pressure in those interviews, but having to have your office make a statement that she did indeed sell her car because her mortgage had doubled, after changing the story mid-interview is just ridiculous.

That would be epic! Let’s keep in touch about it

Been wanting to try that place but it’s impossible for me to get to by public transport. Would happily pay your mileage to deliver to me should you go again!

Disabled people are expected to do so much free, invisible labour managing their daily supports. A friend has been trying to recruit support workers for months; I’m staying with her this week and going through applications, over 900 on Seek & 90% are absolute crap. She should be paid but isn’t ofc.
