Fired, Denied Unemployment

Fired over breaking customer policy, being "Excessively Rude" to a customer. This was not an intentional thing, and proving such to the unemployment insurance determination office is a bit of a challenge. I plan to appeal and already have some near job offers with a better hourly rate. Keep on keeping on is what I intend to do.

Been a long time

It has been a very long time since I have posted. I took on a retail job at about half the pay I was used to after a year and a half of not working. I stayed at the job for a year to save up to file for bankruptcy. I got past that and started a job at a call center. I have been working that job full time for over a year. I have been rebuilding my credit. I have been a little frustrated with the low pay and lack of bonuses. They play games with the bonuses around here. I am considering going back to school. I was very fortunate a friend let me rent a condo from him for about six months while it was in limbo. The condo has been sold, but the title has not fully transferred yet. I am still renting the condo and I hope I can work something out with the new owners when the title does transfer.

To work or not to work

Odd question.

Seems obvious enough....go out try to find work and work...right?

Not so simple. First, have to be able to find SUITABLE work...and when you are in the amount of pain taking medication that changes levels of neurotransmitters trying to get balanced out, nothing seems like a good fit.

But is that the frame of mind talking, or the physical conditions?

Good question...one might say it is the frame of mind because I have worked in this condition before.....but then you might say that the condition has worsened over time (which it has) and then that theory is now not applicable...

OK, is it really physically impossible to work?

NO. Not if an employer is wiling to work around my disabilities, which does not seem to be happening.

What do I need? Short shifts, a variety of work (can't stand or sit too long), flexible hours to make doctors appointments.

However, finding a good employer at all these days is a challenge, and people have to "suck it up"

There comes a point where no one can compensate you enough for the pain you are being put though, or they refuse to. There comes a point where a person decides to quit putting other people's desires above their own health and needs.

Corinthians 5:8 (I am still here)

I am still here only because God wants me to be.

Some times it it my own selfish desires that wants me to be home with the Lord.

I know it is not my choice when I will go home. This is only in God's hands. Only God knows the day and the hour of when I will go home.

"We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 5:8

Rescheduled Meeting

I reschedule a meeting I had on Friday to attend a funeral.

Well, looks like today isn't going to work out for one of the attendees today. (one of the primary).

So, I have more time to organize the meeting to get the most out of it!

Good!

White Rock Lake Festival

Had a good time a the white rock lake festival. My roommate came back with a couple piggy banks and I came back with one. I didn't buy any food or drinks out there, but I enjoyed some free candy and some free water. The music was nice, not just outstanding, but nice. I got a little bit hot and tired, so I headed home for a break. That is when the weather turned.
