What Are You Thinking?

[Soulrev]

I feel for the children of today. Too many of them are not taught the simple things needed to survive in this world. They are either too pampered, too sheltered, or expected to learn it themselves. Very few are actually prepared to make it on their own. For example, I went to college with a young man who had no idea how to wash his clothes. His mom did everything for him as he grew up and now he was on his own. I almost felt sorry for him. Several of us instructed him how to clean them. We later ended up teaching him how to wash dishes. It was pathetic. I wondered how he managed to pay his rent. Found out later he didn't. He got kicked out. Turns out he kept spending the money in his bank account after writing the check for his rent. He didn't realize the money wasn't instantly deducted and kept bouncing checks. I learned things like that from my mother when I was a child. He was how I discovered that some parents kept their children ignorant of reality. I learned about sex when I was 12. I decided to save myself for marriage. It made more logical sense. A classmate of mine in high school got pregnant and couldn't figure out how. It was sad. I loved my mother for teaching me the truth.

I know exactly what you mean. I was in college with many, many babies who's mother never cut their proverbial cords. It's so much of a problem I went through 5 roommates because I couldn't handle doing their dishes and cleaning up after them. I really think a lot of kids these days are helpless without their mommies and daddies. It's beyond pathetic, it's downright sad. This one kid that lived with me didn't even know how to make Spaghetti-O's.. That blew my fuckin mind.

And these are kids going to school to learn to work on your cars. >.>

That is a terrifying thought.

Okay, stop reading the damn medical sites like web MD, but it doesn't help the medication they give me is classified as an ANTILEAKEMIC! That just puts more shit in my head.

I think this is a bummer, due to some weird technical difficulties on the hosting site, I have only been able to post once every few hours or so...I suppose I will have to postpone my Domination of the Board until next week...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Wah.

[TronRP]

One Degree yet again...

[torn asunder]

i don't belong here...

[TronRP]

i don't belong here...

That's a scary thought...

[EagleRose]

I like food.

[EagleRose]

i don't belong here...

Define "here".

[EagleRose]

I'm not old, I'm a classic.

[torn asunder]

specifically, that meant, "here on dgn". occasionally, that can apply to my hometown, or state, and every so often, this planet, but i digress...

How can someone listen to the f-bomb continuously yet get upset over the words "slut giving birth to another bastard", especially when the words are actually being used in proper context?

[EagleRose]

Why is the victim of an auto accident and the people caring for them constantly being persecuted by the insurance companies even after an agreement has been made through late payments and refusal to cover some medical bills already set up by the insurance company? It is wearing me down...

I am concerned. I am not going to make enough money substitute teaching and the year ends in June so work will be hard to get, if any. I am conflicted now, but I am so tiiiiiired of social work, the healthcare side and with healthcare reform that's all there is for us job wise with my degree these days. I am thankful I am educated and have a bit of options but, still all these interviews I need to just focus on one area and see what happens...but time it ticks and bills they add up.

This is a "discussion location" at its most simple. From that perspective, unless we decide we never want to do that, I don't think you should worry to much about if you "belong" or not. But I cant relate to the feeling at times, seriously.

Its stressful. The lack of a good playing job that doesn't have some huge bullshit aspect to it is probably the worst part. Social Work is so wide-open in terms of what you could do, but it seems like you always end up with a fucked work environment were you end up leaving for one reason or another. That constant "uncertainty" really sucks. I wish i could wave a magic wand and get you in at a few places I know of, from what they tell me there are some frustrating aspects to them, but the pay is decent and you don't have to deal with the crazy insane crap I know you have had to. If you could just get in somewhere were the job is secure and the people and the bosses are nice I think it would be a world of difference. *comfort hugs*

Thanks Troy, It's me. I just need to stop finding everything wrong when I work in the system. If only someone could deafen and blind me, perhaps turn my brain into something that is not as active, maybeeee......trade mine for a zombies's...I could be successful in social work. If only.

....and btw, while I was typing this a job through one of these headhunter, staffing services called and offered it to me. It's only for one month I off course have to pay for the ten panel drug screen, myself...to work for one month. Fuck it I start Monday. GRRR I should just sub.

[kat (1)]

Seriously, pay for your own drug screen for a job? That's only for a month....I know I bitch too much but dayum.

[EagleRose]

Why do people so readily accept negative information as fact but scorn the truth?

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, hearing the F word on the down beat is a lot different than listening to a verbal rip on one's character traits. However, with the F word, the trick is to exhale loudly...with the way songs are nowadays, you know it's coming...

[EagleRose]

Ah! White screen!

[EagleRose]

Bugger me!
