I would like to say I just finished watching rocket-man, and feeling a lot of affinity toward it. I just said to my wife, I used to feel really brave...but not much anymore. She asked me why I felt that way. I said I used to take chances, not so much anymore. I wouldn't say that she said. Well, I said, the chances I taken over many years now haven't paid any real dividend. Well, she said that doesn't mean your not brave because things didn't work out. Yeah, and I grabbed my phone and oped this email. The words, were so right for right now. I know what I want to do. I know where I want to go to learn it. If my boat sold right now I would pay my tuition. I want to be an electronic assembler. 18 months of learning. I'm there. And I begin again. I've given up, given in. I still want to do, I'm a doer. Woburn, MA. From my lips to God's ears...buy my boat now.
I've found a new house, I want to move. I've found another dog to rescue let's go get him. Let's sell this house, let's move. We'll have an in-law apartment, finally. An in ground pool, a place to grow again. Our witnesses did it, we can do it. I've got the apple in my hand. I want to bite it. Yes universe I am ready. I do because I have to. I have been educating myself for 12 yrs. I'm ready to do. I know what I want out of life. I am 60, a lesbian, college educated, and treading water. I've been tired, depressed, defeated, but I'm still standing. I have reached out to all of the recruiters from all the different companies, for an entry level position in assembIely, $15 hr ? Is that so much to ask? 1st shift Mon - Fri I wrote a new resume, I'm on 🔥...but no interviews. My resume has been looked at 2 even 3 times. I'm eager, I'm smart, I know what I want, I have huge varied work experience. Taken all the assessments ... Proficiente and beyond. What do recruiters do ? Don't you guys make $ when we're hired...well hell what are you waiting for. No I'm not a job hopper, I've had no luck, but I've continued to work, get jobs , loose jobs through no fault of my own, pay rediculous amounts of $ for health care...when is it enough. It's enough now. Grab my ring I've gone round enough. Whoever needs to read this please do, I am asking for HELP not a hand out, just a ✋ up. I've applied to two hundred jobs in the last two months, my phone is literally my life line. I am ready.
