POST # 4 - WHAT WORK iiS ??

I think Levin's story and poem was real and had more meaning behind it. Even if it really did happen h=to him or not it seemed real and it seemed to have really affected him. I also feel when he said he carried the anger for the rest of his life to be hard for him. Just like it it where to happen to me I would be the same exact way. I would have probably cursed someone out. But hey that just me.

Now how does Levin's poem and story relate to or class work I believe it just shows just how hard it is to get a job for anyone or to actually be taken seriously by anyone now a days. Because when you do go in for a job people mite look at you and be life oh no this person is not gonna work when they don't even know of your working capability. For instance as you all know- well at least those who have read my other blogs. I recently started my own business- now you mite say " hey aren't you to young" and ill tell you age is just a number. But in turn yes I am because as I try to get my name and business out their all i receive are slammed doors in face. But as Levine said he just waited to get interviewed by the people. All people have now is hope and that hope for work is becoming smaller and smaller for each and every person.

POST # 3-Class Class Class -- Blah

I hate when people classify you as a class or in a class. Now a days you are either poor or rich there is no middle working or any other class. Growing up I considered me and my family as middle class. I thought i was middle class becuase I had a home a dog could afford to eat out and go on vactions. To me as messed up as it is to say I used to believe anyone who didnt have a car or couldnty afford vacations was poor. Now everything I used to be lieve about social classes has gone out the window nothing is the same as it used to be. Not only becuase of this recession but because how bad the economy is. Now middle class is poor and the rich is just the rich. How RIDICOLUS. I hate what the world has become I wish everyone could be the same and live happily ever after BARF !

As far as values go for the "middle class" or "working class" which I believe is now the poor class I believe they have more values then any rich or high class person could ever have!! The middle class knows what it is to get their hands dirty and work for an honest wage while most rich people have everything handed to them. Excpet for those few who have actuallyty worked to get where they are.


In the end any CLASS or STATUS is just bull. A person is what they choose to be and I chose to be ME.

For starters I just got laided off my job which adds me to the percentage of people who have lost been fired from their jobs due to the economy. So instead of going out and getting turned down by the world I decided to open up my own business. I have worked with dogs for more then 4 years which lead me to believe I DO HAVE Experience. A day in the life of my job consist of waking up at any time since I have no set hours because it is my business. OH wait I have not explained what exactly my business is, I am in the buisness of walking, boarding and pet sitting animals. So to continue after I wake up I check my phone and email for any potential costumers. After that the dogs that I am taking care of are walked and feed . Then I go to Manhattan and walk all my dog costumers lol. When I'm done with them I go home and walk my boarders again. My work place is my home since I have no money to open my own business just yet.

The only thing I would change about my job is how many clients I get per week, But besides that all I want is for my business to grow and become something big !
