Storytime: For my memoirs... In 1984 I was involved with a man who gave me a ring and told me he wanted to marry me. A few months later I was with child. As the story goes, then he did not want commitment. For nine months of pregnancy he went from I want to I dont want until one day, I finally said, I dont want. I said this is a child and I am a woman and this child and I do not need a man that cant decide if he wants us or doesnt want us. So, I do believe that both I and this child will be better off in life without a man that can not make up his mind. Looking back, I did not give up a good man and I made the right decision. My only regret was for my child, who was brought up without a father. I apologize to my son. Today, in Orlando I have managed to find an employer who also cant decide if they want me or do not want me. Today, it seems that I am not a good fit and thus unemployed. For the past 14 months I have been Tier I and Tier II, unlicensed and licensed, moved from one location to another location, moved from one account to another account and trained, but never allowed to train others. I have professionally accepted the changes and attempted to the best of all situation. I have tried to be flexible. I have moved with the flow and worked day and night to meet their demand. However, since they have now decided for the second time in two months that they want to change their minds, I have to take a look at them and seriously say: I want an employer that is dependable and stable and offers me the support and encouragement that I need to be able to do my job, and do it well. I can not depend on a employer that is fickle and decides from one day to the next like a girlfriend pulling petals off a flower if they want me or they do not want me. He wants me he wants me not, is not my business attitude. It was fun when I was a teenager, but those days are long gone and many lessons under the table. So if they are going to change my employment status every few weeks, or months at their own convenience and without consideration for my own well-being rather than take issues head on and work to steady the environment, then perhaps it is better that I move on to more stable ground. I have no regrets on my side. Looking back 30 years ago, I catered to that mans needs and that was why he wanted to marry me. When he found out that it was a give and take, he could not find the courage to give like a man. His loss, my gain and to this date, I have no doubt of the latter statement. Looking back on the last 14 or so months, I gave and was willing to continue to give in good faith like a dedicated professional. if thats not acceptable, then by all means, let me go. I would rather be sane and healthy than used, abused and toss aside like a old broom. Good bye and good luck. I know they have done this before and still have many happy returns, but its generally not my personal style to go backwards.I dont much like being tossed to the wind after months of fighting wind mills. I am not a feather nor a bird brain and do not care to be considered as such in spite of my ripe old age. I like to move forward and progress. I expect they do too. They will be doing so, without me, at their decision. Tant pie...for them. Thanks for the pleasure and good luck. I prefer an employer that doesnt want to get rid of their employees each new season, but respects them enough to assure them long years of work progress.
