Trying to find a job

Been looking for work. Not super hard, though. Just meandering, really, in my efforts.
It's my pessimistic, attitude, I suppose. Lost my last two jobs, one due to the economy, and the other due to my bad back. What's the point in looking for work now, I wonder?
Ah well, I suppose I could try harder. But who'd wanna hire a thrice time loser like me, who has a bad attitude to boot? Not me, that's for sure. Can't stand people like me, always making excuses not to work.
I've been using WorkBC's services. But it's all a big joke to me. Seems like a poor second cousin to the agency it'd replaced, some few years back.
But that's how it is, right now. Social conditions have utterly gutted the employment market.
And what's worse, the job market is so terrible right now, I'm reduced to having to use meaningless buzz terms such as employment market and job market.
And almost as bad as all that, is the depressed job market has gutted employment agencies' purpose for putting people to work. There's no jobs, so what are services like WorkBC actually supposed to do?
Rearrange their office chairs, I suppose. Make sure their pens are all in order, and accounted for. They've gotta hit that vitally important metric, for sure. It's not like they can actually put people to work right now or even in the foreseeable future, anyhow.
WorkBC's getting sick of me, I think. It's understandable. I'd be sick of me, too. In fact, I'm already sick of me. Missed so many appointments. Next week is my last chance.
Hah, I don't even know if I want to go. It's all a big joke, really. No one's hiring me for anything. I've burned too many bridges, and stepped on too many toes.
Might as well try and make this writing a blog thing work out. I'm doing great so far, a few dozen visits, and no revenue, thus far!
I'll probably lose my Social Assistance when I quit WorkBC's services, but I'm sick of having to jump through hoops for it, anyway.
I wonder if anyone from WorkBC will read this post? I kinda hope so. Be something to talk about at my meeting if I make it there.

  1. Most of the time I don’t make comments on websites, but I'd like to say that this article really forced me to do so. Really nice post!

What'll likely happen in the next couple of years from Covid-19 spread

Honestly, I can't quite wrap my head around the fact governments allowed spread of misinformation that gave them cover to allow spread of this virus unchecked. Covid-19's not going to go away at this rate. Any and all mitigation efforts are left to the individual, and nary a care about society as a whole. Then again, I can believe what has happened. It's happened before, historically. Cholera was allowed to spread unchecked for decades before governments ever bothered to do anything about sanitation. TB was basically controlled on the private level and ignored on the social. Any and every virus/bacteria that could spread was allowed to spread unchecked without much effort to thwart spread from government officials. Edgar Allan Poe didn't write "The Masque of the Red Death" out of a sense of hope for what the rich and powerful were doing in regards to illness in the early 19th century, after all. No, I can believe what has happened, and quite easily. I come fro

The way forward

I've been a in deep, deep depression these past couple years. I'm naturally manic-depressive, but I've also been genuinely sad, without an inkling of what I've needed to do in my personal life. I've been lost, and I've lost some friends. Well, I'm still lost, but I'm emerging from my sadness. I've taken a lot of time to think whilst in my funk. I'd been thinking, "How do we extricate ourselves out of this mess we've placed ourselves? What is the way forward?" I've found no answer. There's no clear path forward. There's no strategy, no long term plan that can really account for every possible setback that will occur. I suppose that's true of all plans, though. "Plans are worthless, but planning is everything." The solution then, I guess, is we need to wing it. Improvise. Get tough, and push forward. Suffer the pains from the blows we will receive, without flinching. Start moving forward to a place we wan

The First Nations Financial Transparency Act

I was angry, yesterday. Said some harsh words. I'm calmer, today. Still thinking on the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. Such a racist act. It's not an act which does what it purports to do. Rather, it's meant to open up First Nations governments like a tin can, so that the government can do as it wants to First Nations people, and more importantly, do as it will with the lands First Nations people live upon. Scoop out resources and title as one would sardines. It's designed to shame and ridicule our First Nations leaders. Mistakes, and deficits are the same as crimes, according to this act. And the government can spin any audit into any shape it wants, if it pays the right company the right price. Remember that sham audit of Attawapiskat? Imagine that, but across the nation of Canada. And when it does its job of marginalizing our First Nations leaders, the government then has full authority to replace our leadership with third party management. Which is
