Thursday Updates

Good evening beloved bloggers and audience!! I just wanted to share the good news that I am still alive and well – not that anyone is concerned about my whereabouts – considering I have 0 followers or subscribers to this blog. I have come to the agreement between me, I, and myself this is just a therapeutic form of writing that helps me and maybe 3 strangers who are extremely bored on the internet that might take a few minutes to read what I have to say.  
Anyways, regardless of the non-popularity this blog has – I am just grateful google allows me this tiny spot in the world wide web. Thus far I have profited $1.09 from ads displaying on my blog posts. Yeah, that is all from like over two years. So, I can’t make a living out of being a blogger unfortunately; nonetheless, I enjoy it greatly because when I am feeling a little down or randomly bored, I go back and reread my own posts.   
I truly meant to stay put, but the inconsistency and lack of respect for the effort I was giving just made me realize I can do better and I deserve better for myself. I don’t say that out of pride, I genuinely was giving it my all and hoping the days would just pass by quickly. Once, the upcoming transfer to home-bound was on the rise, I just knew it was the end for me and yes, I have to be honest I felt completely left out as usual. I didn’t have high-speed internet to be able to work from home nor the actual physical space required and so I submitted my resignation and once again I am seeking employment.  
Also, I admit I hate being in this situation for the millionth time, but my happiness and mental health is worth more than a salary. I know as an adult; you have responsibilities with yourself to provide for your necessities and to help your family. But there are more opportunities out there to work doing something more productive/meaningful to me.  

People think I am naïve to the physical major difference, but I am not unaware that my scars displeases the general audience. As a burn survivor, employers always discredit me just based on my physical appearance and it frustrates me whole-heartily. My face will never change and I have learned to live with, so now I would just employers to judge me on my qualifications alone and not whether people will vote for me as beauty queen. I am not asking for much, just the right to work and make a living in an office medical setting where YES, I am in front of the general public.  

I hope this COVID-19 passes by quickly so that I can once again have a better opportunity to be hired. Apart from my personal struggle to be financially stable, I am happy to know that I met new people through my last employment and that I had some good times working alongside them. My supervisor was cute and I don’t think he knew I thought he was major Lol. He was also super childish—like he acted like he was the cool teen still in high school. He did a lot of quirky things like lip-read his emails before he sent them out. His jokes were so lame and he has a goofy laugh. I enjoyed always correcting his poor-Spanish speaking skills and the fact that he didn’t know the basic Spanish lingos. Well, that’s enough intel juice on my work life, and hopefully enough to cheer you up.  

Again, thank you for the very few who take the time to read this post. Stay safe and well. Comments and feedback are always allowed!!!
