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.

    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!

The human 'superpredator' is unique -- and unsustainable, study says

Los Angeles Times I can't imagine the world in ten years time. Twenty years. It'll be different. As different as the world was even in my own childhood. As different as the world was from my parents' childhoods. My elders speak of our role on this Earth as caretakers. However, we've abandoned this role in favor of materialistic pursuits. Of finite beliefs that will quickly degrade into ash when stressed, as heated glass touching cold water. All cultures historically warn us away from over-indulgence, and yet our own modern society celebrates this behavior as exemplary. This self-interest is our fatal flaw. We take what we want, and we give nothing. This cannot last. There are limits on this Earth we cannot comprehend in full. It is simply too vast. However, what little we do know should terrify us into acting more responsibly, even if only marginally. However we do not even do that. Our leaders urge us on to continue on as we have done. This cannot last. Eventuall...

Highway of Tears gets $3M for transportation safety plan

CBC News Realistically, there's only so much can be done The long term goal should be to be helping these remote communities become more and more self-sufficient so there's less need for a community member to have to travel to and fro their home to a neighbouring town for particular needs, or to strengthen the presence of civilization along side those roads and highways. However, three million dollars? Honestly, it seems quite a bit low. This is over 700 kms, altogether, with many communities, in-between. And the winter conditions alone are harsh and demanding. Three million dollars will be used up, very quickly. The most helpful part of this would probably be the $1.6 million allocated toward BC Transit. An extra bus per community with an extra diver should help, although it's a question if the funding will stretch to cover all the communities, in-between. Considering this is the provincial government, they can only do so much, and only indirectly. Now it's up to ...

Justin Trudeau A 'Stunning Hypocrite,' Top Environmentalist Says

The Huffington Post Canada Some pretty harsh words. And accurate, too. What is the point of more pipelines? Their effect on the Canadian economy seems negligible, at best. At worst, they're sinkholes, employing some, but draining time, money, and manpower from other industries that'd be of more benefit to the Canadian economy as a whole. At some point, the Canadian government's simply going to have to give up on the tar sands. They're a money pit. Canada's days as an oil-producing nation are long over. There's more money being spent on the tar sands then Canada's recouping, now. And the days when barrels of oil were selling at or over $100 per barrel are never coming back.
