Fellas I’m fine, I planned for my future. It just happened a little quicker than I expected. BUT I want to share so physical working folks and non physical working folks understand.. AND never think I would have traded what I did, for someone else to do..
I enjoyed being a mechanic right up to the end, I really did.. I knew what I was going to do from age 12, never changed..
Like a tree surgeon, concrete workers, plasters, brick and stone masons, nurses, healthcare workers, glazers, carpenters, mechanics, farm workers, fire and police, iron workers, pile butts, drillers, equipment operators, miners, LABORS and any one I forgot, PLEASE forgive me. That 10-15% is the ones doing the work.. 50% of them do most or all of their own work and swap between themselves what they can’t do.
Teachers, Fed and few state workers, (not most) I got a real problem with.. No Work, No EAT....YOUR FIRED... No performance, no pay..
The grounds keepers have to show up to mow the lawns for the schools BUT the teachers don’t have to show up, or refuse to show up to teach people. OK..
I just want to see people paid for what they do.. Keep the grounds keeper get rid of the teachers that don’t want to work and keep the ones that do, along with more grounds keepers (to teach the kids TOO) ;-)
I’m having a tough time with the governments approach especially on the FED side to the shut down ..SS is still shut down and refuses to re open to the public. You or me cannot get a phone appointment. Paper work is to be sent in BLIND, no one will sign for registered mail. They won’t give their names on the phone..
They can’t speak English worth a CRAP, in an America SS office.. If I couldn’t understand Spanish pretty well, the last TWO times I couldn’t have understood the SS worker.. HER English was that broken, just horrible.. I told her to explain in Spanish if it was easier.. It was for me too. I got 1/2 of what she said as opposed to 10%
Ladies and gentleman we have an agency that is completely rogue as far as who is accountable to who.. A guard greets you at the door to tell you to call, to be told to send in (9 month and waiting) paper work to SS but not the local office, the one in ???? land. No idea what the response times are, 2-5 months..
So I'm clear what use to take 2 hours TOP in a SS office and maybe a 30 day wait, now takes over a YEAR!!!
14 months. AND they are getting PAID... I had to do this twice before. I was pretty easy.. 20K + they OWE ME..
Every other call you'll be hung up on. You'll hear the person answer the phone, laugh and hang up.
Who do you call to get the LAZY A$$ county off it’s DEAD A$$ and work for what they are being paid..
Any one person got an answer? ANYONE? Is there a congressman or woman or a senator or someone that can get this broken buggy going again.. The heck with the carrot, I say use the STICK...
Where is that crap stirrin’ Hoffa when you need him..;-)
T-111 10 foot 5/8 tongue and groove 159.00 a sheet. from 79.00 more than doubled... My income is 1/4 what it use to be.. LOL Glad I planned..
Regards
