Robo Hobo Homo #080

Mr. McCoy had a degree in environmental science. He'd tried to get a job on the mountain, but he ended up working at the unemployment office. He had spent three years volunteering in park though and didn't seem to think too much of the questions I'd asked him.

I'm definitely planning on talking to him again, about the mountain and a few other things.

We eventually did get down to business. He had a thick packet of resources I could use. Resources I wish I'd thought to utilize whenever I was living in San Antonio. Back then, I either had the resources to do something or I didn't. I never considered getting help moving forward with my life, then getting to the point where I didn't need help. Just doing everything full-bore instantly had been my approach.

He was insistent that I use those resources. Really insistent because even though I know they're a good idea to use, even though I know it's that reluctance that got me here, even though I know people want to help, it's still so hard for me to ask for help.

Eventually, the time came for my job interview and I had to go.
