Posted by Mindy1718 on 2015/01/18 under Uncategorized Well… I found out recently that college isn’t for me. I know, I know, “it isn’t for most people!” Working instead of going to college doesn’t sound so bad. Also, having lots of qualifications to office jobs is really good. Working wouldn’t have to be a problem for me. Never really had a motivation for school/college but always had it for work. Getting more money for my money eating mother doesn’t sound so bad… The money is great when applying for a good job with many benefits but the only reason as to why I’m not quitting is because of my mother. I do what she wants I guess? But somehow I want to do what I want and I plan to do it. Caring for her is bothering me… She’s no f***in annoying! We can’t last one day without fighting… She bothers me so much… Our personalities crash every so often especially when our minds are set on different levels. All I could complain now is about her, only her! I guess we are going to have to find out who wins this game now? One step at a time, reaching my goal is first priority! Besides the fact of my mother wanting money/surviving. I could give her anything she wants but I cannot last living with her until college or my full time job. This mother is not for me but hey, she’s the only one I got. Can’t do much until I have the good job… Well, that’s what’s on my mind for now.

Hi Mindy, i’m Kevin. Living with any parent can be difficult. As far as jobs go I just lost a job that I absolutely love, my passion. I love working with people & helping people. I work for a County in the mountains. I am grateful to have a job with the County but losing my other County job has been soo hard and devastating. You mentioned office work. I do know that with Obamacare the job I am now being trained for should be available all over the U.S. I am in 5 months of training to be an Eligibility Worker at the County welfare department. I am in Northern California so we have Covered California & this has caused all the Counties in California to hire a bunch of new Eligibility Workers and the pay is good. I did have to take over a $3.00 an hour pay cut but i’m still making over 20 bucks an hour. I imagine with all the new healthcare changes in this country there are now many jobs opening up in getting folks signed up for the now required healthcare. AS far as college goes do get some kind of degree. I have taken many college courses but have no degree. I have many years of working with the mentally ill. I now have enough experience under my belt that I can get in almost anywhere I want. The hospital I worked at just went Private. I have been with this county for a few years and want the retirement i’m going to get so I stayed on with the County. The private hospital only pays 12 bucks an hour and i’ve made over 26 bucks an hour the last 2 hospitals i’ve worked at. I also bought my home and am not leaving my awesome pad and mountain community. Having a degree would put me over 30 to 35 bucks an hour but I get way too distracted by all the cute girlz and spring time and all that fun stuff. So do try to stick it out for that valued degree. As far as mom goes I have found it easier at times to just let em think they are getting their way and keep em happy. Sure it’s really hard at times but it is way less stressful on you to fool em into happiness & do your thing. You seem to be intelligent and you really can fulfill most of those dreams and fantasies. I have always, since childhood, wanted to work and live in the mountains, own my own place, have a good dog, have a few motorcycles and have my best friend/soulmate to share it with. Well the only thing left for me is that soulmate. She’s out there somewhere she just has to find me. I start an art class soon so i’m hoping she’s in my new class? Actually my life this last 8 months has been a slice of hell with the job change & my best buddy getting cancer and just life’s crap being thrown in my path. I am learning to accept & embrace change, lol, but I hate it. You hang in there and if ya need to chat any time i’m here and love making new friends. I have met some amazing people lately online and a few in person at work. I am here. You take care, keep yer chin up and keep fighting the good fight. Kevin
Hi again, lol. I just read your other posts and hey. Okay so you went to christian school. I do KNOW one thing, not believe but Know. I don’t call it God. I’m cool with you being an Atheist & i’m cool with anyone believing or not believing in anything they want. I make a conscious, daily, effort to not judge anyone. My friend told me years ago “A truly holy person is comfortable in any church”. I am absolutely in awe an amazed at our Universe. Just the vastness and to know that space is expanding at like 26,000 miles per second or something. I do ask this though. How does the clockwork of the Universe exist without a clockmaker? My church is in the Redwood forest. If you have never seen a Redwood tree I can’t do it justice at all by trying to tell you about it with mere words. I could show you pictures in National Geographic magazine but it still wouldn’t come close to what a Redwood tree really is. There are some trees in the Redwood rainforest that were there when Jesus walked the earth in his sandals. They are hundreds of feet tall yet their roots only go down 8 feet and the can be struck by lightening and they continue to live. The wood doesn’t rot. Lol, as you can see I love em. To take 20 people holding hands as they wrap around a Giant Redwood to hug a tree amazes me. I am in no way a tree hugger but everything about those trees is beautiful, they talk to me.
So, I went to Catholic school for 8 years & kinda had God rammed down my throat. I kinda understand where you are coming from. Um, I don’t believe everybody “finds God”. I use the word God cuz I don’t have a better word to use. I love it when ppl say “but God wants you to do this or don’t do that God will be mad. Lol, Lol, who do they think they are knowing what God wants? Actually God shouldn’t want for anything if God is God.I crack up every time I hear that Christian Mingle commercial that say’s God wants you to use our website and pay us to meet your soulmate. Oh if they know what God wants me to do I must hear more. All I do know is I was an angry child and angry at the world in my 20s. I had my anger taken away and am forever grateful. My whole life changed. I looked for answers to what the hell happened in my self study of world religions. I didn’t find it there. Ask me & i’ll tell you what I found. It took quite a while to get some answers. You, Mindy, just work on making You happy. Maybe you are already there and nobody has told you yet? I am here to talk about anything in the world you can think of to talk about. Smile like ya just robbed a bank. Kev
