7/26/2007 - Life Goes On!

Hello All:

     I am back. I know that it has been a while since my last entry. I just have been trying to get my life back together. I have taken a lot of time to think about my situation, and decided that life is just to short to worry about how others feal about me.
     I have done everything that I could think of to make things right with everyone that was affected by my stupiddity, and there is nothing else that can be done.



     It has been eating me up inside how my Step-Daughter and her husband is holding onto their anger towards me. But I have come to the conclusion that that is their problem, not mine. You can't force people to change. My dear Wife continues to tell me that they will see as time goes by that I have changed, and they will see that the rest of the family has seen the change in me, and has accepted me into their lives again. They will come around as well, but if they don't it is on them.
     It still hurts, espeically that it is family, however I am not going to let it controll my every thought any more. I love them, but I will leave them to their lives.
     Things at work are coming along just great. While school is out for the summer I am working as a custodian. Keeping up the school grounds. When school starts again I will be going back into the kitchen again. I don't mind working in the kitchen. However one of the teachers approached me just before the school year ended, and told me that he is trying to get the distrect convinced to transfer me into his department as an aide. I hope that it will come to pass. I think that would be very cool.
     As for my leagel problems go. I got a phone call from my Probation Officer, and she told me that she is writing the letter to the court requesting that I get an early release from probation. So this has been a very good day. So as the title of this entry says; Life Goes On!!!

3/16/2007 - I am confused and depressed.

Hello All:

 

I am back again. Just a quicke update on my job situation. My job is coming along just great. I am one of the cooks at a local elementary school out here in nomans land. I have been here for a month or so. I am getting  the hang  of prosedures, and the other employees have made me feel right at home. So my job is not the thing that has me confused and depressed.

The current problem is with some of my family members.

I have been trying so hard to prove myself to every-one that was in any way affected by the stuped thing I did last May that landed me in jail. For you who don't know what happened, last May I  got tyed up in an email scam, where I was told that I will receive payments to a foreign company. I than would cash the checks, keep 10% for myself than send the rest Westeren Union to another location. I got some checks, chashed a few. And they ended up being counterfieght. So into jail I went. It upset some family very much. My Wife has forgiven me my ameediate family has forgiven me. But I have a Step-daughter and her husband, that just seems to hold onto the anger and resentment so tightly. It is like they are watching for every little mistake that I make so that they can say "see he is just a no good bum. Not worth trusting. All he will ever do is lie and deceive."

My Son inlaw is supposidly a good Catholic person. So there is times that I want to tell him that he should read the Bible again. Especially the parts that say that we need to forgive  all people. That we are not to judge. And also where when the people brought the prostitute to Jesus to see what he would do. All the people wanted her stoned for her sins. How ever Jesus sent her on her way. Then he told the others, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

But I suppose that it would not do any good. So I guess I will just carry on. I am doing my best to prove myself once again to my whole family, and I will continue to do so. It will be on them that will not accept my efforts.

I love all of my family so very much. And did not intentally want to hurt any of them. I love my Step-children as much as if they were my own flesh and blood. But it is just so disscuraging when my efferts are just not recognized.

I guess though that as long as my Wife sees and appreiciates my progress, That is all that matters.

I suppose that I have done enough to depress and bore you all that I will leave for now. I promise that the next time I write I will be a little more up beat.

PS   Please excuse any misspelled words. I can not find the spell check on this thing.

2/19/2007 - Update from my last entry.

Hello all

I am back again. As you probably know, my last entry here was me complaining about there being no business' around that seemed to want to hire me due to the fact that I did something really stupid last year that ended up getting me a criminal record.

Well after that entry was posted I got a message from someone that read my blog, and she sent me some suggestions to use when I get any job interviews. I found that advise to make sence to me, so I decided to give it a try in the next interview that I got.

That next interview came up just a couple of days ago. So I went in and talked to the interviewer. And to my surprise, they decided to hire me. They said that it is their policy to run a background check on anyone that applies. But they have the discretion as to if they hire or not. So they are giving me a chance.


What kind of surprised me about this offer is that it is at our local elementary school. I kind of thought that if there was anyplace that would be really strict about criminal records it would be schools. But what I did was not a vialent crime, and did not involve children, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyway I start my new job tomorrow morning. And I have my new friend to thank for that. I think if she reads this she will know who I am talking about. I don't know if she would want me to mention any names so I wont. But THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. The world needs more people like you in it.

So untill next time, you all have a great day. I know that I will!

2/12/2007 - How do they expect you to prove yourself.

I fill like it is time to vent a little here now. Let me explain what I am talking about.

Last year, in May to be exact, I did a very stupid thing. I got cought up in an e-mail scam. I received some checks in the mail with the instructions to cash them, keep a percentage for myself, then quick collect the rest of the money to another location. The checks looked real to me. So like an idiot, I cashed some of them. About an hour or so later I was arrested for cashing a forged instrument. I was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and 3 years probation.

Now if that isn't bad enough. I lost the job that I had before this happened. And since then every place that I have gone to apply for work, I get told that they can not hire me because I have a criminal record.

How on earth can I prove to society that I have learned my lesson, and nothing like this will ever happen again, if no place is willing to hire me.

The courts put us back into society, and expect us to be productive members of society, than no one gives us a chance. So what is a person supposed to do? So how do you prove yourself, if nobody will give you the chance.

I know that I did wrong. And I have promised the court, my wife and my family that nothing like this will ever happen again. So if there is any one with any constructive suggestions I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for your time. And thanks in advance for any help anyone may give from this.

Now before I go, take my addvise. do not get involved with anything that comes to you in your e-mail. Unless you know that it is legit.

2/1/2007 - Four Letter Words

Hello All:

 

I am back now for round two. Today I thought that I would use some four letter words. First off I would like to know what the HELL is wrong with four letter words anyway?!

Let us explore some of these words. The first one that comes to mind is the "F" word. That one I know is a very bad word. One that I find personaly to be a word that I don't even like to hear. Yet you can't go anywhere with out hearing it, even from the smallest of children.

Now another bad four letter word. That one would be WORK. I guess I am basicly lazy. If I could I would want to be independantly wealthy, and have hords of other people do all the WORK for me so that I wouldn't have to.

Now lets look at TIME. What exactly is TIME anyway? Pretty much the only thing that I have found is that there is never enough TIME in a day. TIME is one thing that I always seem to run out of.

Now I will put two four letter words together in one sentence. That would be FULL and BULL. It seems to me that there is a lot of people these days that are FULL of BULL, (I would put another four letter word right after BULL but if you have an emagination you would already know what that word would be. So I don't need to get so graphic.). I guess though, if you where a cow, a Bull wouldn't be such a bad word.

Now for some good four letter words.

I will give you a few in this sentence. I am madly in LOVE with my DEAR WIFE. She is the light of my LIFE! I don't know if LIFE would be to fun at all if it wasn't for my WIFE.

Well I guess that I will end this BLOG at this time, and go get me a COKE.

Bye all, See you all next TIME.

1/23/2007 - A Close Call

Hello All You Blog Readers Out There:

 

I am just writting this one to see if I can put anything interesting in here. I am new at blogging so please have patience with me.

My life so far this year, this NEW YEAR has not started out to well. First off I lost my job. Which realy wasn't to exciting of a job anyway. Then last month I took my Son to get his drivers learners permit. That in and of itself is not a bad thing. But we live in a small little town in the Northwestern part of Utah. It is such a small town that it dosn't even have a D.M.V. The nearst city to us that we could get the permit is a city called Tooele. It is about 110 miles from Wendover (the town I live in). It was snowing that day, but we went anyway. I took my Son out of school early, then we were on our way. We got to Tooele okay. But just as we got there the people there told us they were told to close the building up and head back to Salt Lake. I asked them if they would let us get the permit before they left, but they wouldn't do it. They said that we would either have to come back another day, or go on into Salt Lake. I didn't want to take my Son out of school again, so we went on into Salt Lake.

We got to Salt Lake okay, we finished our business, then we put gas in the car, got something to eat, then headed for home. We had gone about 30 or so miles, when I hit some black ice, and slid of the freeway (I-80). That scaired the hell out of me. I hit a mile marker, slid down an imbankment, then hit a fence post before my car finaly decided to stop sliding. So there is damage to my car, but thankfully there was no damage to me and my Son. Lucky for me I didn't hit any other car as well.

Well I am sure that this was a boring story, but thanks for leting me bore you all the same.
