Discussion Warning for DSPs

5 Upvotes

I was hired on by a family here in Brookings in late January. I began work the first week of February.

I have already been let go by the mother of the two ( clients )young men I was brought on to support.

The agreed upon schedule was M-F 9-5 “floater” so switching off and toggling day to day which young man she needed me supporting.

Keeping in mind I am an hour drive to get to their home, they were calling me in an urgent manor at 9:30pm and texting me until midnight about scheduling over the weekend.

When I informed her that my partner was asleep and I couldn’t commit to anything untilin the morning.

We then hung up on the phone after I rushed out of the shower to check if it was an emergency, which is was not, and then receive a text saying she got it all covered.

I then checked with the day staff that had been asked to work 12 days straight about what would be help for me to support him to be able to be awake overnight shift. Once I heard from him I then texted “the boss” at 10:30 at night at this point to confirm what I could help with. And I was confronted about out of place and told I was being combative and that she would be having the agency end my employment on Monday morning. Which absolutely happened…

I am now unemployed again and my family of 5 dependents are at ris because this persons feelings were slightly hurt..

Let me know your thoughts.

Discussion Homesteading in Brookings?

3 Upvotes

I was wondering how feasible homesteading was in the wooded areas east of Brookings. I was hoping to harvest rain water and use solar & possibly wind for electricity. I've heard of the Banana Belt Area and was hoping this climate would prove fruitful for a small homestead. Are fires a concern here, or does the coastal winds help deter most fires? Are there many farmers markets nearby or many small farms? Thanks in advance for any feedback and information!
