I relieved her. We ended up on the topic of abortion, and since she has a 4 Y/O child I wrongfully assumed she was neutral or pro-life. I told her about the video circa mid-80's The Silent Scream. This is a 30 minute documentary that is presented by a Dr. using models, abortion tool displays, and a sonogram taken by an abortion Dr. which the Dr. doing the narration of the documentary claims the aborting Dr. never did another abortion after viewing the film of the sonogram. In the footage you can see the fetus clearly agitated as the suction tube breaks the sack and sucks out the fluid. Then the fetus is terrified as the suction tube rips it apart.
When I told her that pro-choice was actually poor choice, I guess that was the last straw and she stormed away. Most likely she will inform the site supervisor and/or upper management. All of which are Christians, but Jesus said many will use His Name and Know Him not. I guess we will see what happens.
The perception of what security is and the reality are two different things. I know in the beginning Security Licenses came about because many security guards were fresh out of jail. I had a pair of brothers who were my friends and their father and uncle both worked in security, and were also in and out of jail.
I guess I'm petty, because if I get terminated I will write a letter explaining how corners are cut to save the building management company money. The typical camera setup doesn't work well because its digital and they degrade the quality as well as only record when there's movement, but this doesn't work very well. See the suspect then see again 20 ft away etc... Also no proper documentation of incidents. Our reports go to the security company management to "Fix" any problems. This is only a sampling of the problems and is systemic throughout the industry.
In-House security working directly for the client instead of through an agency is a better option. Basically contract security takes some of the money and all of the benefits at most agencies. As a senior, I have Insurance via my wife, and since I work a lot of OT, I can take a non-paid vacation. However a job that pays 1.5 for OT and if you work on a holiday doesn't attract the best when it comes to younger people.
The state I reside in has the most lax security laws, but is now trying to improve them. 2 years ago you had 6 months to take the online course and get a security License. This leads the management to find a body any body to fill the positions. I was also shocked when I found out there was no training requited 2 years ago for handcuffs, batons, stun guns, pepper spray etc... Thank God that changes now Jan. 1st.
I'm not an eloquent speaker, but I will stand up for what I believe in. I literally had a few close incidents over the last few years on the bus regarding the vax and the myriad other things going on. I had to learn how to determine when its appropriate, when an Urban youth screamed at me I could be assassinated (I was talking about Obama at the time lol) I have woke a few people up regarding the vax etc.. and there's a good chance I may have at least made someone think before deciding on abortion.
As Trump says, We will have to see what happens...
I'm a senior who retired early and moved abroad. Now back in the states I had two choices. Live in a crime ridden apt. complex or return to work. My wife helps, but has a lot of family to support in her home country, she chips in 800 towards rent and utilities and I pay 1600-1700, then we both buy food and household.
We are going to move in a year to be closer to downtown, but live in a mid-rise condo instead of a big house with a lot of yardwork. We will be able to reduce our rent by 300-400 a month.
A lot of wisdom in your comments, thanks.
nice. One of the things i have always wanted to do with my family was to be more supportive of each other. When i was younger i did the math and seen how the successful familes of the world did it, yet i was not heard.
when i was young i remember oprah had a show and a guy was on there and he made 50,000 dollars a year. My mom would always watch her in the 80's. I remember thinking that was a ton of money and i prayed to God that when i grew up i wanted to be able to make that much money. Maybe 10 years old at the time and i knew what it was like to be starving and looked at as trash.
my grandpa was successful and so was my grandmother that lived in the same town. Grandpa was a mason and would take me to some meetings and such.
when i turned 18 i moved out the city/state i grew up and shortly after joined the Army. Still trying to get my family to see the benefit of helping each other, but never happened. when i left my hometown i left everything behind, girlfriend, friends, quit college... bought a ticket and left with nothing.
i have lived in places that was 300 a month and the neighbors would try and scare you as you came home from working 3 plus jobs. i would always wave at them and laugh.
as i get older and nearing the age of that word 'retirement' i cannot believe how it gets here. out of anyone who ever listened to me in my life is my wife. She was the girlfriend i left behind and she became homeless and worse for a time.
God gave me everything i have and i still wish my family would have listened to me. My wife took my advice, and she is very successful with many academics. For a time, she was also a democratic voter.. I refused to listen to my very educated wife telling me to take the mrna and i did it without yelling and with patience and was able to accomplish her from not making the kids get it and she as well decided to not to get it. Zero fights. I know it can be done.
the retribution of our lifestyle is we are both the black sheep of the families. My kids have lost family interactions because of our outlook.. mostly me. As we get older i still wish family was what it is supposed to be. in the usa it too is a fake. I am not bitter. I know God is real and very have the courage of leaving everything behind as i did and even fewer can understand this concept. :)
Thanks for sharing and for avoiding the jab for your family. God has been there for me even when I wasn't paying attention. I had a childhood from hell, but somehow God got me through it and uses me to help people when I can.
