Secret to Save

School, School, School.....once you finish you soon realize that you must go back! My roommate has decided that after two years of being graduated, she wants to return.

See, you would assume that if you go back to school and get more educated, then you get paid more. Well in most instances yes, but in others well no. I say no, because in these times that means that companies have to come out the pocket more to pay you and really who wants to do that? Companies have had to lay people off to save money. In some cases people with less experience are being fired, while in a few cases the people with more experience are being laid off. Why is that?

Secret: Companies have found a way to save money....by getting rid of the people that make more. Now I understand that from a business stand point that this would make sense but from a personable stand point this in kinder words sucks! A person goes to school to become more marketable and some end up gettting fired after a few years because they are costing the company too much money!

Seems like everyone in America is trying to make some type of cash flow now a days especially since everything around you is going up but your pay. For instance, my job has frozen all those that are next up for a raise and another job has told their employees that raises are frozen for two years. This is forcing people to get two or even three jobs just to hold on to their house and some just to have enough left over to eat!

Sorry about that, I get carrried away sometimes. Well I believe my roommate has a chance, since she is a teacher. There is a great need for teachers. We'll talk about teachers some other time too!

Sway Sigh

So as I held the phone, I could feel my mind racing and I knew it was about to happen....word vomit! Once out, a wave of relief fall over me and then it began to register to me everything that I had just said. (In all actuality it wasn't word vomit more like word dribble.) Either way it goes more was said than needed to be and I found myself apologizing....once again.

See I find my life randomly like that. Things will be moving smoothly along and then there isn't just a bump but a crater that knocks me completely off path and onto an entirely different continent! Yes I know, things can only get better; well things do and then I come into play and mess them back up again. My misfortune is usually someone's happiness though. I'm still trying to figure out how to turn this one around though.....

Sometime soon he'll forgive me....I mean I am me and I'm mean...not all the time but it does come out when I'm feeling cornered or someone is trying to sway my thinking to theirs. I'm still a work in progress....its just at a standstill at the moment.
