Do you have a Federation or Counsel that could help you get something for
this kind of traveling?
Then you could pay them back so much a month.
Boy if you could do it that way then you know you have more of a chance for
you keeping it.
Instead of rehab saying they need it back if you don't get a job.
Just some thoughts.

Hi and yes I thik she is being difficult and this is new. How about if I
am
just job seaerching riht now that is what I am doing but feel aGPS would
help me get to and from interviews more easily not ge5t lost on the way
walk
blocks out of my way and spend rediculous money on cabs. It may not be
something i exactly use on a job riht now, I feel though it will help me
get
a job easier by not having to arrange anything special for iterviews like
rides or anytying just use the bus and GPS and set up my interviews for
whenever and not have a lot of sitting and waiting for rides either
before
or after the interview.

Tina:
You ask for justifications for upgrades and gps. Some rehab counselors
are easier than others, yours seems difficult. My suggestions:
1 Fashion your requests to a certain job or sort of job -- i.e. needing
to
travel as a part of my job as a case manager doing home visits or as a
sales
representative makes gps a necessity.
2 Detail how the upgrade features will help fulfill certain parts of your
job -- i.e. the job requires (or will require) me to keep files current
on
a variety of clients and the required paperwork completed every 3 months,
the database can be configured to enable me to do this efficiently, making
me a more valuable employee or candidate for employment.
3 Inform the counselor of the shortcomings of your current system -- i.e.
the planner runs so slowly that it causes clients to wait, even in job
interviews it calls negative attention to my blindness.
4 Be clear, always job related and do not hesitate to go to the
supervisor
or, failing there, to the client advocate that works out of the state
office. They are there to serve you and their most important function is
to
purchase for you the equipment that will make you employable. Remember
that
their one and only real goal for you is that you work.
