"I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION" :-)

I got a training job placement through Mature Worker Connection (MWC) to Armory Park Senior Center and what initially seemed a near-perfect setting has turned into a hostile environment.   My main opportunity there is tutoring seniors on how to use computers and the Internet but the man who rules the public computers, Kent Phillips, refuses to let me add software and files that are necessary to do that.  In fact, he has threatened to remove the internet connection to all the public computers if I make any changes.  Phillips is the head of CALC and is not a city employee, so the center management can't seem to do anything about this.

About a month ago, I told MWC about this and Laura recommended that I wait for a couple of months for a new placement because they just hired a new job hunter person.
