Well as I mentioned in my last post I would be writing a new post soon and here it is…
Well I no longer work for the Arby's Franchisee, last Thursday was my last day, I have found a position as a Night Auditor for a hotel here in town which means less hours and if I work over 40 its OT! It is less pay but hopefully less DRAMA! My last few weeks there was a nightmare! I learned that the shift manager was creating problems within the store and I was tired of it all, and every day that I woke up it was harder and harder to force myself to go to work so I got over it and I got out.
I am still looking to see if there is something else out there that I can work at because this one that I accepted is not where I need to be in pay but it is where I needed to be to get out of where I was. Two weeks ago we interviewed with Indus Companies for the NEW Embassy Suites Hotel at the Port Columbus Airport and I was interviewed for the Restaurant Manager/Supervisor position and I really hope that I can get it. After reviewing many sites online I found a lot of information on the hotel and it will be a VERY nice hotel.
This weekend was obviously Independence Day weekend and we had a lot of fun. We visited with Nicks family Friday, then yesterday we visited with my family at my brother Shawn’s house. We had a lot of fun we played cards Friday and on Saturday we played bowling on the Wii. I also got into a conversation about Politics…… Well we all know that is a great talking point for me I will debate till the sun goes down and then some. We discussed healthcare, Bush, Cheney, Obama, Palin, war, bailouts with banks and auto makers and congress/state representatives. I got into the whole religion section as well boy did that get people fired up, but we all had fun and a great conversation.
Some of the political things that we talked about were separation of Church and State, in my opinion we will NEVER EVER have a separation of Church and State, because as long as we are electing people who believe in a god or who attend some form of church/synagogue/temple we will always have some connection between the two. I am not saying that as a bad thing however as a statement of the facts, and these representatives will vote on legislation based upon their beliefs and what they have been taught is right and wrong.
Another issue is immigration, I full heartedly believe in legal immigration, we would not have nearly the brilliant minds or the diverse cultures here that we do if not for legal immigration. NOW I go off on my illegal immigration tangent, I really wish that people would recognize that Illegal Immigration really is hurting our country and the we should not give amnesty to any of the illegal immigrants, we have a quota system in place for a reason we only allow so many in at any given time so that we as a country can monitor the flow of people and we can provide proper support for our citizens and control our economy. All these immigrants that want to come here for a better life I do not degrade them for wanting to do so, however I do wish it was in accordance with our laws. We have so many people who come over here and want a better life but are living off of our systems that we have in place to help the legal citizens of our nation and causing undue hardship for our people. I know people who have went to the county offices and wanted help and could not get what they needed because they are doing things the right way, they are taking care of their responsibilities, but people who are not even LEGAL citizens can go in and receive benefits from my tax money and your tax money with no problems, we have no way to really track them and we have them living with multiple families in a small apartment or house not paying nearly the amount of taxes that should be paid to support our schools cities or local governments but that is OK! I THINK NOT! We need to change this way of governing and this way of thinking, it is not that we are racist or bigots but the buck has to stop somewhere and it needs to stop here and needs to stop NOW. We need to crack down on multiple families in one small housing unit, while that may be the norm in your homeland this is America and we do things a little different. We have some of the most stringent safety standards out there and we have them for a reason, and it is time we start enforcing them. It is UNSAFE for so many people to live in close quarters, it is also not helping support our schools, more homes means more taxes and more taxes means more money to help our deficit stricken schools. We have to add extra programs just for the immigrant populations, programs such as English as a Second Language, DOES THIS NOT COST MONEY TO OPERATE? We need to pay for it somehow, and I think we need to force the people who feel this program is necessary to make sure they are doing their part to help and make it happen.
Then on to the banks, we had to bail them out WHY? Yes I understand that they were in bad financial condition, but who made them that way, was it all the American people? NO it was the operators, now an honest hard working American has a hard time getting a loan because they are “TIGHTENING THEIR WALLET” and when they do they get hosed by the bank with a ridiculous interest rate. I know people who have had their interest rates TRIPLED on their credit cards and these are people with 798-820 beacon scores that is INSANE! The banks want us to pay out from our tax money and them pay up with insane interest rates, this is nuts.
Oh and do not forget the Auto Industry, do not get me wrong on this one I understand that we need Detroit and the Big 3 Automakers, they are a pillar of the American Society, but once again we have to help them out throwing money that we do not have at them to save them. They need to streamline, I do not care if there is one dealer per brand or 2 dealers per brand per city we need to have 1 FORD 1 CHRYSLER OR DODGE and 1 CHEVROLET OR GMC blend the models end the other nameplates and make it work, make what people want not what sme crazy designer thinks looks like the future, its OK to dream but lets keep out feet a little closer to the ground. Yes I know Ford is doing OK but still getting rid of Lincoln and blending a couple models into the Ford nameplate will not hurt anyone, the name plate is a status symbol and that is all Just as Lexus, Infinity and Cadillac are as well. Just make one brand and focus on that.
Well I am sure that I could go on for a lot longer but I will leave it at that for now. Please feel free to comment the blog I would love to hear some other opinions.
Until next time…Best Wishes, and God Bless You and God Bless America
