What's up with Whatsit

Round 1 with Region 8

I called Region 8, this place that will supposedly help you if you don't have insurance. The lady answered the phone and I told her that I had been depressed and didn't have a job or insurance and that a friend of mine had told me they might be able to help. There was this long pause. My spirits, up at the thought of actually being able to get help, immediately dipped. Then when the lady finally decided to actually talk to me, she said "Let me get your name, sweetie" in her I-am-talking-to-a-child voice.

Well, I went ahead and made the appointment because I certainly do want to change my situation, but I don't see why people who are without a job or health insurance have to be deprived of their dignity. I can't wait to see this woman. I most sincerely hope she is morbidly obese with a double chin, but with my luck she will look like Barbie.

My appointment isn't until June 1 at 9:30 in the morning. Regardless of how Round 1 with these people went, I am determined to wring some help from them. So there.
