Went to my training today, thought everything was going well. Got home and got a call from the business I thought I was going to work for, told me that they didn't think I was a fit for their company. I knew right away just by looking at the people working there, that I got let go because I was not in their age bracket.
You know. if your going to let me go in the first place, why the heck put me through two days of training, without pay, just to call me after and say, your not a fit for our company when you knew damn well I was not a fit in the first place. Just goes to show you, that there are companies out there that will look after certain people. If your not a fit, your out.
So here I stand today, with two job offers, thankfully, one pays $10.50 an hour to train for three weeks and the other business is a taco time restaurant that has not opened the doors yet. I have $70 to my name at the moment. not very proud of that. But I have a few options that I can look at.
I have decided that I will have to take the insurance off my vehicle and start taking the transit, which will be most interesting since I have not done that in 17 years. I'm not looking forward to the long trek to work and back. But I have no other choice. I did find out about a programs that can assist me with my rent. So I'm waiting on that.
I also got a call about another program that I could apply for in government funding of grants that would assist me to start my own business. And I do have an idea that just might work. But I need $589 to assess the list of grants I can apply for quick assistance. Plus I also am taking the Landmark Program in Nov which I cannot wait to take.
So I think what I have to get started in writing down the business plan, so that I have a general idea of what it's about , how it works, and what the benefits are. It would get my mind off the things that are happening financially. And who knows, it may become the stepping stone to helping a lot of people who are in the same boat that I'm in at the moment. My mission is to help people in poverty move up to comfortability. Without costing them an arm and a leg like some people charge. Doesn't it seem ridiculous wanting to help people in poverty when I'm there myself right now? But you can't just me by how much money I have. Unfortunately, that's what the majority does.
I know I have lots of skills, talents and tools I can use to help a lot of people. And I might aim towards a women's program to start, and then have a men program later on if it takes off. By listening to the company that was training for the two days, I got an sense of what they were about and how they are helping people, but what they charge is pretty much aimed at the higher financial bracket income earners which leaves the rest of us in the dumps, so to speak. They don't help people, they help themselves.
There is always something to learn when I get let go of a position. I think it's high time I get my act together and start something myself and see where it takes me. What do I have to loose? Really.
