2011-05-04T11:20:00.000-04:00

I am currently working for G4S Wackenhut as a security officer. Currently assigned at the Jenkins County Hospital. Someone is complaining about my work but I don't know who. I have an appointment with my boss tomorrow in Marietta, Ga about 3.5 hour drive. Also, I have right now $17.66 in my checking account.

I feel very nervous about the future. I can't feel I can trust anyone

another trucking with Werner Enterpise

2010-07-21T13:20:00.002-04:00

Just to let everybody know, I went to Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and course Georgia. I went though Tennessee several time to get to KY and Ala. I went to Ala 4-6 times, Tn (2-3 times), Ga (delivers: 2-3 times and deliver me) and KY so Jim can go home for a few days (my ass was in a cheap 1 star hotel in Princeton, Ky).

I still have 34.25 hours to complete for training.

agla and werner

2010-06-23T19:30:00.001-04:00

Today, I resigned from American General because of dismal sells and clients refusing to close. They love to make excuses. I'm going back to Werner Enterpises. Set to get on a Greyhound (again) tommorow at 8:25am in Augusta headed to Atlanta, Ga. Werner starts Friday June 25, 2010. The DOC is over with until they called me. o well, it's their lost NOT mine.

Current Job Situation

2010-06-13T09:20:00.000-04:00

I'm working for American General (AGLA) and Brian Daughtry's outfit. They are both insurance jobs. Sells are incredible slow. My clients refused to close the sell. I am disappointed with the entire thing. I have decide to keep my license but look for work elsewhere. I am pre-approved for employment with Werner Enterprises a trucking company. I haven't decided on that yet.

The DOC is over. Part of me is relieved. My feeling on this is mixed.

Right now, I have a test with the State as a Probational officer. I'm some what nervous about it. Bruce hired me a salesmen for DirectV and Dish. No sales. The economy is dead. Heather, right now, is God's hands. There is nothing I can do. I'm just going to wait on the State to cooperate if ever. I still haven't seen or heard from her ever. Just letters and a few at that. I must learn to accept that convict is a convict. pd. Too much time has gone by for her in prison. I'm going to try to go back to the DOC and just forget about her and that halfway house. It is necessary.

I'm currently part-time at bilo at night blocking and commission only sales for Bruce Dailey.

Why I'm trying to join the U.S. Peace Corps

2008-08-26T19:22:00.005-04:00

Ever since I was a child, I love going out seeing a much of the world as possible. It's no wonder I hardly ever stayed in the house except doing bad weather and/or I couldn't find anything to do. My AD/HD kept me constantly going. I couldn't sit still for a second. For me reading a book or watching TV is something that you do when you have nothing to do. My favorite TV show was Star Trek. Trek means adventure. Star Trek is about issues and adventure and how these two relate. This world is getting more and more complicated. We need people who don't think of themselves but think of others and how to help them.
One of the reasons why I want to join peace corps is I'm hoping for life changing event. I'm hoping that it will teach me something that when I get back to the States. Everybody will be talking about it for years.
Another reason is I want to do something about a another culture. I have no idea for example how the Chinese live. I'm just going nuts to see the world at least one time in my life. I'm tired of Millen and this current life. I love meeting people from a totally different way of life.
Being a volunteer means to give of yourself. While in college, I went a another of mission trips: a homeless shelter in Savannah, Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta, plus a few others. I was cold tired but I felt good about myself. It was hard but wonderful at the same time. All of this is what motivated me try the U.S. Army right out of college. I graduate Brewton-Parker in December 1995 and joined the army in April 1996. I wanted uncle sam pay my student loans and me to see the world. A small accident in the Army canceled that forever. After that, I had a number of regular jobs in the States including over the road truck driver, but I never felt good about them. It just wasn't the same. Besides no matter much I beg for hours, I couldn't get them anyway. I just wasn't meant to be. I'm tired of min-wage jobs that never become anything worthwhile. I'm used to doing without.
Another reason is that I want peace corp to teach a skill like teaching a classroom, so when I get back I can maybe get a job as a teacher. I missed the experience of High School. I taught everybody how to use a computer. I even got a award for it.
Who knows I might even learn a new language and new way of life. I'm single with no dependents. I have nothing holding me here in this town. I currently have no job what so ever. I have applied for ever single job out there I can find. I have tried to follow up on those jobs. Even a good job with good prospects is still turning up nothing. I don't believe things just happen by mere chance. I believe things were meant to happen. There is a reason behind everything.

Cross-cultural Experience

2008-08-19T19:23:00.000-04:00

Back in college, Brewton-Parker has students and faculties from every where imaginable. I enjoyed talking these people from different cultural background. I met people from Europe, India, and Korea (which I still keep in touch – close friend). One of the main things, I enjoyed about driving over the road as a truck driver. Is the fact, I never knew who I might meet, so talking to a perfect stranger comes natural to me. 3Rd, 3 years as a correctional officer, I often was in a situation that made me feel as a minority. I worked all 3 shifts at the prison. It's run by most black women (85%). There maybe 3 men in the whole shift. I was often only white male in the shift. It was interesting and wonderful experience. I enjoyed talking to these women. It was quite interesting.

my education autobiography

2008-08-19T19:22:00.000-04:00

When I was little child in the middle school, I had a hard time learning. I suffered from Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). I took medication which made me sleepy, but I still managed to show a interest for learning with aptitude for math and science. Later when I got to High School, my entire life change when I was introduced to the high school counselor Bobbye Quick Cobb.

One of my 6 periods, I was sent to the library as a aide. She showed me the library organization, including the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system. A very short time later, the school for the 1^st time receive computers, Apple II e's. Hardly anybody knew how to operate a computer, so I sat down and started trying to figure it out. Within a month, I taught myself how to use it including the Apple Works program. The program is very similar to Microsoft Works program just more simple. I began trying to show Ms Cobb how to use it. She gave me a job to do: the overdue book list. It took me about 2-3 school days of playing with it, but I did it and that was my sophomore year. She, and eventually the entire school, loved it. Teachers and students started coming to me with their computer problems. By the time I graduated from Jenkins County High School, I received an award for "special computer services to the entire school.”

Afterwards, I went to a small technical college, North Georgia College and Technical School. I stayed about a year and transferred to 4 year college, Brewton-Parker College.

When I got to Brewton-Parker, I found out that I had hard time with English but I didn't give up. It is simply not my nature. (I'm a survivor.) I couldn't decide what to major in. My experience with High School was still in my mind and on my heart, so I majored in Management information System. I started looking at education and Christianity as a major. I was torn between I wanted to major in and what life experience taught me. I love helping people solve problems. It's a old passion of mine. I even got involved in the drama club as an audio tech. I saw many drama plays including The Glass Menagerie which I loved.

School and college were best times of my life. I missed them more than you can imagine. By the time I graduated Brewton-Parker College in 1995, I realized that I missed certain parts of life - the joy of being around kids. Life was not headed that way for me at the time. Since I needing a job and owed $20,000 in student loans, I joined the U.S. Army. It didn't work out. I got a medical discharge and went home. I tried truck driving and hated being alone, so I went back to college again at Ogeechee Technical College under the pressure of my family and majored in computer networking. I completed 2 years Micosoft Windows Training and 2 semesters of Cisco System training. Short time later, September 11 happened. I had a hard time finding work even with my education and work experience.

Doing all this time, my mother's health was starting to deteriorate. Eventually, 2005 came around. Mom already had 2 separate surgeries. Both of them caused a number unique medical problems including a lot pain. In March of 2005, I got a job with Georgia Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer. Mom couldn't work and I need a job support the both of us. To be honest, I hated that job. My old passion of helping people was incompatible with department policies. My mother died of cancer on April 29, 2008.

After Mother's death, I felt that I could resign the job that was not compatible with my values. (Even though I did not like the job, I don't hesitate to say that I learned a great deal that will help me in the future.)

I have spotlessly clean criminal history. I am honest to a fault, very dependable, and always punctual. After 41 years of living, I am very proud of this. I'm desperately trying to get back to my old passion, being around kids, a strong learning environment, and joy of teaching and being taught. For the past two months, I have been trying to find work in and around my area (Millen, Statesboro, Waynesboro, Augusta). So far have found nothing. The city of Millen has the highest unemployment in the state. I'm trying to relocate to a better place and have a fresh start of life.

Please consider me for this position. I know I will able to make a worthwhile contribution to your team. I just need time to get acclimated. A little coaching and training will do the trick.

My job history with state of ga

2008-07-26T19:24:00.000-04:00

According to www.careers.ga.gov, My Jobs History list contains 314 job(s). Can you imagine 314 jobs over the years I have to applied to State of Georgia looking for work. This is one many reason why I lost faith in this State. A person with NO criminal history and have 4 years college degree cannot get the state to hire me with exception of the dept of correction which i didn't want and didn't think it will last. I made it 3 years. My longest job in history only to lose it because of friend betrayal.

anyway, me and state is history. I'm hoping and praying for job in the private sector. at least there, they pay overtime. The DOC does not.

What can I say...... There is nothing more useless then trying to get a job with college degree and The State of Georgia. useless said the teacher, useless. I'm still waiting on the State to prove me wrong.

friends betraying friends

2008-07-01T19:21:00.001-04:00

I always believe friends DON'T betray friends, but today i found out that one of my friends betrayed me. If it's true, then we are finished. I have a lot of praying to do about this. My feelings are mixed.
