Ok, this is my first blog and I have no idea what to write really but I'm sure something will come to me as I go along.  I found this site by accident and here I am.  Not sure what I will write about in the future but since there are always a variety of "thoughts" going through my head at any given time, I'm sure I will think of something. 

Hmmm, let's see......right now I am thinking about money and how I am going to acquire large sums of it in a short period of time (a common thought most everyone has I am sure).  I have been looking for a so-called "job" for months now and am getting nowhere.  Usually when things don't work out as planned, I am prone to believe that it is for a reason.  Apparently I am not meant to find a job.  Perhaps because working for someone else is not going to get me where I want to be.  Or maybe it's because I am really AGAINST jobs in general due to my NON-conformist/NON band wagon jumper mentality.  Maybe it is due to the fact that I am looking for something that I really don't want at all.  What I WANT is to do very little and get paid for it (who doesn't?).....in other words, not your typical 40 hour a week JOB.  I have been on many websites offering employment only to find that in order to acquire this employment, you must submit a resume or fill out some long-drawn out application or tell them "a little bit" about yourself (who feels like doing this for job after job?).....you know, you're supposed to make yourself look pretty on paper and act all hoity toity (sp) so that the BOSS will see you as someone who is SUPER interested in their company and is just beyond ENTHUSED to start working for them and who absolutely LOVES to drive to work early in the morning and be on time every single day and only leave your desk when "they" say it's ok and only speak when spoken to and yada, yada, yada.  THIS, my friends is NOT ME!  I am so tempted to write up a resume offering the TRUTH about me, letting perspective employers know that I am only looking for work out of the NEED for money, not out of the WANT of working for their establishment!  I would like them to know that I am not in it for all the fun and games that their company offers, that I am completely OPPOSED to working for NOTHING and that MY schedule it NOT flexible to suit THEIR needs!  I would like them to know however that if they were to pay me what I am worth which is WAY more than the standard 8 to10 dollars an hour that most places are offering (which barely puts gas in my car btw, let alone pays my bills) that my attitute could possibly change drastically.  Yes, that's right, if you want a high quality employee, start paying high quality wages that people can actually LIVE off of.  This is what people want.  Do not let the average person fool you into believing that they really want to be a SLAVE for some company and come home and be too damned tired to do anything else.....in other words, no one really wants to LIVE for their job unless of course that job is paying them extremely WELL!
Ok, I'm not sure if this was really a blog or just a vent but nevertheless, this is it, my first BLOG.  So what happens now, I have no clue.....do people read it and critique it or does no one look at it at all and I just sit back and continue to write on different topics day after day until I get really good at it and there is nothing left to write about.....just curious.  If anyone has the answer, let me know.

Bravo. A standing ovation(I think that is the right word!!) I am on early retirement and bringing home peanuts after working since 1969. I have the same feelings, and attitude like you when it comes to "corporate Anerica". "Hurrah for me and screw the little people" Thats the attitude of most big compnies. good luck!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
