Reply To: I'm suffering a MASSIVE case of emotional neglect
Thanks. I did talk to my father tonight. It seemed he FINALLY got it that all I needed was to have my stories heard and listened to and he finally listened to them and liked them a lot.
I haven’t been expelled before. I have been sent home as a kid though in first grade. One time it was due to a mistake (I was swinging my feet like Pinnochio, trying to do a dance I saw from the movie, and accidentally kicked the teachers aide in the tush.) Another time I got sent home because I was singing the Meow Mix sing during lunch hour and a lunch lady teachers aide asked me to stop, and, being upset, I hit her…with my woolen hat. (I was only 6.)
I was actually an honors students all the way through college. It’s now feeling like a failure as even the most menial jobs won’t hire me that seems to unhinge me, feeling like I wasted all those years in school after 16, when I legally could have dropped out and still been available for the same jobs I only seem to have a chance of getting now. Now, with Bachelors in Computer Science, Associates in Arts, and Associates in Science, I seem to be overqualified and thus deemed a flight risk for the lower jobs, but, in part because of not driving and not living in urban areas, I didn’t get an internship during college and thus “don’t have enough experience” to get the higher level jobs. And my job coach isn’t the most helpful. She sometimes seems to be pressing me toward receptionist and things like that, even though I am not sure I can handle those.
Also, she was kinda unkind to me after a certain incident. I had scheduled a phone interview with a company and I had told them in advance that I could do before certain days or after them. They knew it. The day before I was to have the phone interview, they called and rescheduled that interview to the first day I had said no. I told them that that wouldn’t work and that it would have to be the first day of the family campout. I don’t even know if the place where the campout is gets phone service. (It didn’t in the past, though I think it sometimes does now.)
So I went to the campout and came back and then called the company like I said I would. They said they were out and to call back later. So I did and they said “Oh, we hired already. Sorry.” So I told my job coach this and she kinda acted like it was all MY fault and said that I should have shown I was willing to work with them by being more flexible.
I said that I had a campout and that I, though I didn’t say what, had told the company BEFORE they had to reschedule, that such and such times were OFF. I then said “What if I had my own wedding that day? Should I reschedule to make the company happy?” And she said something like “Well, after your wedding, you’d still have bills to pay, so yes.” And I said something like “Well, if the company is THAT demanding, then I don’t think I want to work for them anyway.” and we got into an argument. She’s done a few other weird things that have made me less than fond of her. I mean, I had all my experience on my resume, and she and her partner removed it, saying they were knowing what they were doing, but it seems to have hurt me more than helped. Sometimes, I think they’d rather I get a minimum wage job rather than something more my potential just so they can get rid of me.
Also, I happen to know it’s a BIG fat lie that the companies need illegal alien workers and H1B visas. I can show you all of them calling for it and there is NO way there is THAT big of a shortage. It’s just GREED.

Also, I’ve kept track of those outsourcing. Some are doing it because the EPA, one of the highest corporate income taxes around, etc are driving them out, and others I think are doing it because, you guessed it, GREED: https://patriotmongoose.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/companies-outsourcing/
And, based on all of this information about jobs and stuff that I collected, that the private sector is going downhill: https://patriotmongoose.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/so-whats-going-on-with-the-economy/
Even my father, who worked at a job for many years, and was hoping to retire at a certain company, has been shafted greatly (they decided to cut his commission and are making silly rules that took the joy out of his job, and this was at one of the places that is NOT on the bad guy list I have and NOT reported to be bad, but is listed as “average” or even “above average” on the reviews online. All the ones I see that I could qualify for, by the way, are “average” or “below average” ratings, so that should tell you what I have to look forward to in this Obama economy (and, I have reason to believe Hillary is going to win the election, legitimately or by cheating.)
So I guessed that the future belongs to those who can either start their own business or can be creative and do something like writing, etc. The others will be begging the Elitists to get increasingly fewer jobs for increasingly terrible wages and conditions. As I seem to have a knack for writing talent, my father’s seeming lack of interest seemed like a big FU to me. Hopefully tonight has begun an improvement.
(Also, it wasn’t just my father. I tried reading my cousins my stories, but they seemed to get distracted after like 10 minutes, even the teenage ones that should have been more mature, further causing me to feel bad.)
