Skipping Classes in School

Dear Readers,

There was a very important class that I omitted from my scholastic experience.  This class was considered to be some what "anti government".  When the instructor shared this important undercover information, I became agitated because what he shared what higly offensive.
Then one day I began to live the life that he spoke of.  What hurt the most was that I didn't stick around long enough for the 'how to get around this stuff" lecture and I ended up kinda screwing myself over.

I have so many questions about life and no one can give me the answers for free anymore.  So for now, I carry on through my journey and accept my circumstances humbly and when it's time to swim against the tide I become "belligerent to violence".
I am a part of the civil rights movement and I fight with an army of one.

I am educated and working to become certified. Unfortunately, I'm constantly slammed by my highly competitive colleges who for some reason seem to believe that they have room for another employee just as long as it's not me.
They keep recommending me to a telemarketing position that happens to employ majority African American, majority young and may also be either educated on the same level or of the lesser level.  I am a little tired of fighting these people. So, that only means that I must go back to school and aim higher and pray that my colleges don't react violently when they find out that I'm intelligent and a great employee.

For now, I am doing Custodial work.  I am homeless and need an income so one must do what they must do.  I'm keeping my emotion in check while drowning my sorrows in ketchup.

We shall over come someday!

Sincerely,

Limmie

Jokes on you...

Dear readers,

Life is not easy. Well for some of us life isn't easy. When you are unemployed and homeless, and without a safety net, life can become pretty tough.
The plus side to being "without" are the opportunities that afford individuals of low-income the ability to get back on their feet if they are able by way of
on-the-job training programs.

These job training programs provide grants and scholarships to those wanting to receive an education starting with adult education GED programs,  training in the medical field and in information technology.

Isn't that exciting!!!

Yes!!!

The downside to being in this position is having to face off with the jungle.... out there.... meaning having to face those wild animals that are waiting to pounce on the volunerable.

We have to become veeeery selective as to whom we share our personal information.
Anyone in any position could be collecting data for their personal use.

One of the cruelest jokes ive suffered through are those dumb emails, those fake emails that promise good sales positions, but they are really spammers fishing for information.
 They are also there to steal your joy!

The last thing you want to see when you're waiting for a response from a positive job lead and you're in desperate need of employment are the fake jobs fishing for information.

Those are reported as spam!!

Take that Fisher guy!!!

That's is such a cruel joke...jokes on me ha!!
(I don't respond to those emails btw)

Limmie

Finance 101

Dear Readers,

Our beloved President is a business man.  How our country will function and flow will in my opinion mimic the large business moniker.  No one knows what happens behind closed doors.

I think this time we should pay close attention to the flow of the tide and follow the leader. My mother used to say that. I didn't see what she was saying until now.

So far Warren Buffets 'Bershire Hathaway* just became the largest share holder for the Bank of America.

        What does this mean for the economy?

   I trust that this company knows what they are doing.  But, I also remember seeing this before and how it effected my parents finances long ago.
  This type of move effected everything, like their ability to find a decent job.   I along with my parents have the experience of when an employer would make comments on how we are qualified for the job but don't have a good enough credit score.  The only job we could find would only pay a few dollars above minimum wage.  We knew that if we were able to gain better access to a higher paying job that pays a higher wage, those debts could be erradicated completely in a matter of years.  This will have a trickle effect...

I am afraid and excited.

We are in for more trying times.

If we expect to survive these next four years, we are going to have to follow God and pray for help.
 I feel a squeeze coming on and trusting God will help us survive these trying, and exciting times.

So today's lesson on how to erradicate debt goes like this.

1. Give to God first.  Pay your tithes.  We are going to need the church one day. The church is going to be the world's bail out plan one day.
2. Get financial counseling if need be.  If it's not needed then...
3. Budget.
4. Make sure debt cancellation is a part of the budget.
5. Watch the President Donald Trump.
6. Watch the financial industry
7. Watch every thing, watch the news.

Debts are a form of bondage and "when you have debts you will be treated like a criminal". ~~I wish that I could brag on who gave me that warning years ago but you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

If we ever needed the Lord before we need him now.

Let me put it this way.  If we didn't mess up our credit....
If we were given opportunity to do better...
If life didn't happen, ....

We wouldn't have the debt that we have now.

It's like watching a soap opera that I required to participate in....

I'm ready to erradicate my debts are you?

( Now, if I can get a good job and get out of this homeless shelter!)

Sincerely,

Limmie

I Shall Fear No Evil

Dear Counselor,

I'm afraid of workplace violence.  It scares me that anything can happen at any given time while in our peaceful existence.  Today a gunman opened fire at a UPS facility and killed 3 employees, injured 2 and then he turned on himself after being confronted by police.  Scary right?

Being a person that is in desperate need as I am homeless and living in a shelter and having dreams of landing a job and saving money and then getting off of the street and becoming a functional part of society.....the last thing that I need to know is that some angry and deeply hurt individual has decided to take matters into their own hands  shooting up the place because they are mad and had to make a "statement" then he kills himself...
I mean no....that is scary!!!

Now I have to go hide for a few days and do some more research and pray that I don't end up in the belly of the whale.
We never know why people do what they do.  He could have been a terrorist sending warning to someone that wants to work for another major corporation..the message could be.... YOU'RE NEXT!!!
What if that's me?
I've already had to not go to an interview because one of the locals is watching me too closely.

I don't mean to make this about me but honestly, I'm no stranger to workplace violence.  It's scary and unnerving to live in as a stranger in a strange land and to have to do battle that way.

My heart is broken for the victims and the families effected by this violent act.

I actually lost a friend years ago that same way.  He was shot, right on the job during another angry person's rampage.

My question is...what could have been done to prevent something like this from happening in the first place?

It had not been revealed​ as of yet if this was an employee so there's​ not a whole lot could be said.  However, there are a lot of questions.

I will leave the investigating to the professionals.

I'm scared.  Life is hard.  I shall dear no evil for God is with me...us

Maybe I should go get a job in a padded room with no people and no weapons and all personnel are required to be nice.

Prayers for those effected...

Sincerely....

Canned

Dear Sir/Madame:

Today I was canned..
I was canned...before training.
Training was to happen 2 weeks after hire.
I was thrown a bone and told to heal. I could not deal.
I have no idea what they wanted or needed.  
Don't you hate starting a new relationship with someone and they don't know what they want out of life but they have way too many expectations for you. The the main requirements is that you do what you're told not just verbally but also by esp. You are supposed to be a mind reader. You're supposed to know how to do everything but at the same time know nothing. Then you push to get info from them and your told to back off... Right after youre told to first give them the booty?
Well, that was my last employer.
I have no idea what they wanted from me. The job description was clear but I'm not sure that's what they wanted.
So now, I must move on.

Well..if I may.
Dear employers please don't hire people if you're not ready to take a new employee in. If things aren't in place it is ok to say so. If you want your new hire...please don't treat people like they need you more than you need them. We can reciprocate the same. Employers you need us too.... let's be friends?

Well!

Back in the saddle!

Sincerely,

Sunday's checklist

Dear Love's,

This week was pretty busy. Got some things done. Found a job that really is not my dream job or anything to rely on to restore me back to my superstar status,  but it is a job and I will continue to be on the continuous search for "thee move" that will bring an end to my current homeless situation. Today, Sunday became real. This reality of the being that they call Sunday is one that I've not experienced in a really long time.  Here is my list of events that have already happened and it's only 2:14pm.

1. I woke up, did my cleansing ritual.      ( I promise the details will not be discussed but I'm sure that you get the picture.)
2. I get back to my bed and notice that I'm tired so I get partially dressed for church, and lay back down.
3. Slept like a lazy kitty. Snored.
4. Woke up and Figured out where to go to church.
5. Dressed and went.
6. Heard a good message about life.
7. Dismissed and walked to Publix.
8. Grabbed some frozen P.F Chang's.
9. Walked back to the shelter. Cooked and ate.
10. Now I'm too full to sleep.

This is the life. This is not the life. I am grateful that my situation is no worse than it was before. It's nice to have stillness and peace. Then there is this tugging at my heart 💓. I miss my ducky, my treasure, my jewel, yani 💜my d and my cuppy cake and Tim. This Sunday is not perfect without them and I hope that they are a blessing to who has them.

Today's realness was birthed during those quiet moments where one can reflect.  Some would call it a spiritual check up.
Today's message spoke on how sometimes the things that we do for form and fashion may not be enough.  Like sweeping around the rug and not tacking what's under the rug.

The worst message to teach is " if you get it right the first time, you don't have to do it again".
 There is no perfect being on this plant.  Sometimes we have to keep trying until you get it right.  What ever right looks like.
 Monday means that we are all back in the saddle.  I have a life to build.  Prayerfully  God May bless the work of our hands.

Here's to a rainy Sunday afternoon!

Sincerely,
Limmie

Job Hunters, Hunters jobs...

Dear Councilor,

Many suffer from debilitating illnesses.  Today I'd like to discuss the one most sly fox of them all, mental illness.
The work force is full of people that struggle with emotional or mental disorders that were brought on by stress, abuse or traumatic brain injuries.   So while applying for work, or looking to establish a career; maybe if we can go a little further, when looking to establish residency in a new neighborhood of any kind, be sure to do your research.  You never know who especially in this day and age is on the edge and ready to fall off the cliff.  You may be hunting for a job, looking for a new home or church, and they may be hunting for you.

By the way, I was scanned again.  That means that for the second time I was tazed. The first time as I walked by a church I was tazed in the back of my head.  So far my voice has been effected. The second time just a few minutes ago the same person that tazed me the last time that I was homeless tazed me across the neck as they drove by.  They are attempting to internally decapitate me. What happened?  I applied for a job in the medical feild that hires maniacs.  I've worked their before. So without noticing the connection, I applied.
The world can be a very scary place. We have to be careful.
With God's protection may we all be kept safe from harm.

Sincerely,
Limmie
