Absolute Frustration

The effort to receive Emergency Public Assistance in the state of Florida is virtually a confusing adventure into the quagmires of the mission impossible. The least and last of an individuals resources is to ask for help, and when that venture is the only remaining option that a person have, the expectation is for relief of the current pressure. No one likes to be dependent upon others, thusly; the call for help is a humbling and uneasy process that one must submit to under the conditions that have made this call possible.

Agencies that promote public aid during a time of emergency makes it very clear that no walk-ins are permitted and that all interview appointments must be made by telephone during a set number of hours during the day and on specific days of the week. These limits and requirements are understandable, but the problem comes in making contact with the agencies representatives on the dates and time that the agency has specified for appointment scheduling.

The first and the major hurdle is in getting beyond the busy signal and the voice recording, and usually by the time that this activity is accomplished the ticking of the clock has woefully compromised the first-come, first-served procedure of appointment setting that the agency has established. "Who are the gods and goddesses for emergency assistance in the state of Florida, let them answer the telephone now because they seem to be completely dedicated in remaining anonymous."

Getting past the first hurdle is frustration affixed to desperation and this leads to mental anguish and this leads to physical weariness, which only adds to the stress that initiated the call for help in the first place. No one wants to be a burden, and no one wants to be pressed into creating a solution, but there are those times when things get seriously jammed and the fault of this predicament may or may not be of an individuals personal making, yet whatever is the reason for the present disjunction, making a call to any of these support agencies is serious business for the individual who is penned against a final notice.

The norm is that a recorded message is eventually received informing the requesting person that all available appointments have been scheduled and that they should call the next day at the time that the appointment line opens to schedule an interview. This is the repetition, and this is the core of the frustration, that instructions are carried out explicitly to no avail.

The solution to this quagmire is a well-paying job or some other source of income that can maintain economic viability, but as stated earlier, there are those times when the kick is inflicted squarely between the buttocks cheeks and the pain of this induces the call for emergency assistance that is promptly needed to bridge the current gap.

In conclusion. Life goes on until life is no more and that is all that it really amounts to with the unanswered telephone.
