Earlier this week I went into the eye doctor for an appointment. They informed me that they screwed up billing the insurance and now I can’t get an exam until January. The good news is that my prescriptions are still okay according to their records, so next week I will be getting that information and ordering contacts and glasses to use until I can get a new check done.

I just am tired of running into people who don’t do their jobs, they complain when they have to do work and have to figure things out, while I can’t find anything. I’m just so tired of it. I think though even if I had a job I would be tired of people who don’t do their jobs, is it just me, or are there more and more people who don’t want to do their job correctly.

It seems like everyone keeps saying that you have to get a collage degree to get a good job. Well I’m starting to think that is a line of bull. Why, well both my sisters work in fast food, they are assistant managers and make more then my mother, a teacher does. They have both taken a year of college, but didn’t get any degree and don’t plan on going back. They can both still rise with their companies, my older sister not as high as she works for a franchise and can only go as far as a store manager, unless she decides to buy her own franchise.

My other sister works for a corporate store and can move way up. According to a district manager she could work up to her position and make more then 65-70,000 a year, with no college education. Now fast food and retail are known for this if you can move up. It’s not for everyone, but if you don’t want to go to college, flipping burgers and McDonald’s or burger king may get you a better job in the same amount of time it would take to go to school. The one sister that could be a district manager is 19 and has worked at that store for 1 1/2 years. She’s already making what I will when I graduate after 4 years. Something to think about.

Have you noticed that the frequency’s of shootings has risen, now not only are shooting common in schools, but in restaurants and other businesses. Why do you think that is? Well my class has come up with a few ideas, helped along by me of course. I pointed out that people who are stressed tend to lean more toward violence when they feel there is no way out. If you look at the state of our economy it really does look like there is no way out for most of the people who are effected the most by this. People are losing there homes and there really is nothing that they can do about it.

Is it their fault. Many think so, they should have been smart enough to know that there mortgage was going to go up and they wouldn’t be able to afford it, but most people hope they will be making more by that time and that maybe they could refinance it to a fixed rate. The problem is now there home value went down, they are not making as much and they are stuck.

Now comes the hard part, dealing with the fact that you can’t really change it. You may have to lose your home, pay the taxes on the loss the bank gets and start over. For many people that is just too much to handle. I understand that and I feel that is why we are seeing an increase in violence across the US. We have seen an increase here in Michigan for a few years since our economy started going downhill way before the rest of the US.

The sad part is just today on CNN they had an article about how employers got rid of jobs again, the job loss is the worst in 5 years, check out this article for more info. It’s hard, there is no end in sight right now and I believe we will see a larger increase in violence and crime because of this. Mentally people can not handle it, it’s worse for the people who have always had enough to live on comfortably and even more then that. They don’t know how to save, how to cut back on spending and how to dig themselves out. I think we are going to see a huge increase in depressed people, suicide and other changes in behavior. Personally I think the government or someone needs to require that anyone who has had or may have a home repossessed take classes that will teach them how to save, but thats just me. What do you think?
