Life is Resume Building ( Part IV)

(were still in Philadelphia with the jobs)

I had 2 Grassroots jobs that didn't last longer than a day or two. One of them consisted of getting people to donate to help stop bullying. We would meet downtown and a van would take a team to Prinston NJ to ask for the donations. I quit because I figured my organization could do this for ourselves. Turns out I was right more on that stuff later. My cousin and I were also door knockers that tried to get people to switch their electric company to a "better more earth friendly solution". I quit this job because my co-workers were ghetto as hell. They smoked weed on the job like literally between door knocks, ok I was a pot head too but damn! They also fought people at their door when things got out of hand with a potential customer. The supervisors were horrible & my cousin gave the same kind of report from the team he was on. Nope that kind of atmosphere wasn't for us we were out!

The year I turned 28 the job situation changed for me, it became much more serious. In the past I never kept a job longer than 6 months. This time it would be different, I started woking at Boston Market, it's a fast food good food restaurant. In three months I became a shift manager the story behind that was wild. I could give it it's own post. That job was fun and ratchet, I kept it for two years then had one of my famous mental health episodes and ended up quitting when I should've just taken a leave. A lot of things were going on with me emotionally in my personal life back then & the job just became too much as well.

This is where I went into a 2yr depression, which is a whole nother post in itself too 🤦🏾‍♀️ Out of the depression however; came a outstanding Certified Peer Specialist. I was lead to this career from a training I attended with the support of my favorite pastor & his wife. I kept that Job/career for 7yrs and it was the best one I've had so far & I was amazing at it. I quit during the pandemic, again a lot of things were going on with me emotionally and personally. That's also when I moved to Southern California the story on that is in this blog.

In the next all my Jobs post I'm going to tell you about the jobs I had on the Carnival!

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

As the LA housing search continues... We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available. The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
