I thought I was going to be helping poor people with access to services that would enrich their lives. It took a few years to realize that pumping money in to poor areas often robs people of their own resourses and desire to help themselves. I realized many coworkers and supervisors were there to give hand outs to family and friends. I complained and tried to confront the problems, and was harassed to a disgusting point, but bringing up wistle blower issues protects from being fired. I now focus on helping those who want to help themselves within the system of my job. My boss hates me, but has been forced to stop harassing me and has curbed all the nepotism. I am waiting for a better job, but will not leave until I can take my pension with me, just another year. I believe the state gives the benefits of the program out under the guise of aid to really collect personal income info and to encourage participation in state run businesses. I am waiting for the script to flip and power to shift and am prepared to assist from the inside. |

Its not a fun job its not lucrative but it has a very important impact on me and mine and its not good. I keep keeping on and keep on applying and applying and applying and hope I'll get something. The only thing that makes it matter to someone else and has World impact is my unemployment runs out very soon and when it does I'll be destitute but I'll no longer be on the US governent entitlement program any longer. One thing I have learned is how little it takes to make me happy and live. I think my husband's learned the same. He just started a new job and he's an HVAC master installer so things are looking up but we're kind of a liberated couple and don't really intermingle our funds so I'm sure when my unemployment runs out it will be a pain to him to have to pay the bills my pay does, and that sucks. I like being independent. As far as what I did before I have a job looking for a job, I've been an artist, a musician, a secretary, and AP/AR person, a clerk, sold Harleys, an automotive service advisor, a mortgage loan officer (and I was a good one and slept well at night because I wouldn't do bad loans), a mortgage processor, a real estate paralegal, a convenience store manager, and I'd like to make a difference in the world but I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up and I'm 44.

A whole lot of payroll hours has no productive value, or a negative productive value. I've concluded many jobs are nothing more than adult day care. I've met women who work full time, but after taxes, spend their daily earnings on McDonalds, cigarettes, and Starbucks. They break even. Not a dollar makes it home. But work is their life. Its where their friends are. its an awful lot like junior high school, only you can drive and smoke without fear. |

I take responsibility for my progeny and I am the one that in the end is held accountable for their behavior. How does it affect the world? It doesn't. But by God, my children are not the heathens running around a store screaming and being assholes, so it makes it more pleasant for you (and I). The downside: I am not that interesting because I watch cartoons all day. The consequence to the world? You don't have to put up with my kid being over tired, over stimulated and being raised by someone else where you have to see them. |

Most of these companies rely on my plans to enable them to continue operation. If my processes fail these companies are at risk of complete shutdown. No one checks my plans but the ISO standards make them audit-able. However I have an override on all these plans and can change them on the fly without approvals. Looking into building an off-world BCDR center so we can see the world collapse and still maintain operations. People think I am important but I know I can be replaced in a blink of an eye. Probably I matter if TSHTF more than most of these companies realize. At least I have a seat reserved on whatever transportation will take us away from the disaster.
