No, no. I won't quit posting here, as it's sadly one of the few things keeping me sane. I mean that I simply no longer have any desire to find employment. It seems like the more I even try to look, the more stressful it gets due to the fact that there are no opportunities for folks who have no longevity whatsoever in the workforce.
Longevity is something that's nearly impossible for a disabled person in the workforce, even when the economy is decent. Most of us end up with part time work if we're lucky, but once the so-called slow season begins, we're usually the first to see hours slashed to oblivion. Opportunities for advancement are also few and far in between, if there are any at all. If you're transportation disadvantaged, it's a deal breaker for many employers down here in the 'sunshine state'.
Employment specialists also don't make much headway down here because of the fact that the county in which I live is usually in a constant state of economic depression. That's to be expected when the majority of people who live here are retirees who love month to month on Social Security or other forms of retirement income.
So, with all that said, I quit. I've no longer any desire to even try to be employed because not one thing will be gained from it. No opportunity. No personal growth. No real income. No financial security. Nothing.
I suppose with my surrey now motorized, I can at least humor my employment specialist and show up to his fruitless job club every Thursday. No, I don't blame him for my situation, but sitting there looking through a thousand postings for the same job on Employ Florida sure as hell doesn't lift my spirits any.
See you around,
Homer
