Why is he lieing to me?

I am not waiting for a woman to come into my life. I am not doing that anymore. I do believe in what I say. And I will carry out my promise. I understand and accept that I am not on everyone's wavelength/frequency. I accept it fully. I keep my online applications up to date. I see one of the hiring managers at a grocery store I had applied to. I am looking into other possibilties.

 

My email adress is yankeeskylion@yahoo.com for anyone who is interested. I used to work in the security field, but my licenses had expired.

 

did you get licensed through your municipal police academy?

if you did, i know that opens up doors in some places that have private security/policing forces (hospitals, college campuses, etc such as Temple University)

either way you gotta keep licenses up to date, because that may be the only type of job available at the moment..and u wouldnt want to get passed up because of that

 

So why do you not remedy that and get the licenses back?

 

Sometimes people just don't want help.

 

I had been in the business for a decade, off and on. I had seen it all behind the scenes. It made me so jaded, I decided that if I were to go back into it again, I'd be better equipped. Miami-Dade College has a pretty good program, but the program had changed(The State of Florida requires 40 hours for each program). "D" licenses are required first; you cannot get any other qualifying license without the "D". There are some schools that teach both at the same time. Money and transportation are two issues I am working on.

 

I see your point. I was unemployed for a while and I pretty much took myself off the market until I found a job. I was still meeting people but dating while unemployed just didn't sit right with me. I felt like I wouldn't have much to contribute.

 

This, times ten. In the majority of professions, it's about who you know as much as (or ever more) than what you know.

 

Yeah, I understand that. Certifications and licenses can be a bastard to deal with. I wish you the best of luck and hope that things turn around for you, even though it's rough out there.

 

Thank you.

It's tough times out there for a lot of people right now and for the comment above about some people not wanting help, i don't know anyone who chooses to be skint and it's bloody insensitive.
So pull your head out of ur backside!

 

Or you could simply stop being overly sensitive.

 

I'll do that if you stop being a prick, oh no deal? surprise! surprise!

I hope you end up on your arse one day and you can say it will never happen blah, blah, because, because or whatever!
But one day you just might be busting a gut and I hope some small minded narrow person treats you with the same disparaging attitude.

 

Lurkdom benefited you greatly.

 

I sent you an email. Please be on the look out for it.

 

While this may not be applicable to Gorath's situation, you make a good point. i have someone quite close to me who refuses help, imo, because it's easier to be a victim. Less is expected of her because of her "problem." Never mind that there are new options available to her with great success rates, she always has an excuse why they won't work for her. Seeking or accepting help would mean change and more responsibility.

As to being jobless for a long period of time, similar (for some) to being single for a long time - you adjust and get set in your ways. It's hard to change if you find you can manage life just the way it is.
