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!

Death of B.C. aboriginal teen Paige blamed on 'brutal and cruel' support services

CBC News Ugh. Reading this sort of story just gets me. Deep in the heart, it hurts me. This girl. Hell. She looks just like any other girl on my reserve. Like any girl I've met in my community. She was allowed to die. She was passed around, passed off, and then simply passed away. All while in the hands of a ministry that doesn't know what to do with this girl, and the hundreds of kids just like her. Damn it! The best way of dealing with these kids is to work with the families, the communities these kids are being taken from. Instead the BC government plucks them out of the parents' care, sometimes for frivolous reasons, and sends then into this machine-like bureaucracy, and sets it on the spin cycle. Where the kid ends up, and how they end up, is of no concern to the province! Just so long as they can punt these kids further away. Work with the kids' families! Work with the kids' communities! That's the best way.

The Earth is Alive

It is not a being in a manner we can absolutely comprehend. It's deeper mysteries are probably too much for our abnormally large monkey brains. We can make good guesses as to its nuances and behaviors, but how do we prove anything above the level of the idea we believe there to be a molten core at its heart? We believe it breathes and maintains its temperature through the trees, the air, and the ocean. We can make good guesses at all this, modeling to best of our knowledge what it all may look like, and predict its future behavior, but we don't actually know, for certain. Which may seem like a weakness to some. We're nothing more than animals, really. We follow the strong, and the strong are certain. Uncertainty seems alike to fear to some. The Earth is alive, and it is ancient. We are mere insects to it, really. Its age is unfathomable, honestly. We can only imagine a time before humans. We wish for a sense of superiority, as though we're somehow important in the gra

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
