QUOTES
Women and Minorities at My Work Place
The first woman was hired in 1993
Out of 405 employees
72 are women
Minorities make up 28 employees
The work place certainly has changed
My first long job was at Hardee's
I had two minorities in the four years I worked there
One a beautiful Japanese American woman
One an African American man
I still remember Shannon from Hardee's
I am using the golf balls she gave me in 1991
Lost five so far out of 12
Women used to get to stay at home
When the dollar was strong
One job was enough to pay the bills
You didn't have cable
You didn't pay for a cell phone or internet
And taxes were a lot less
Are women and minorities getting a fair shake at work?
No!
We have a long way to go to truly get fair treatment for all workers
I do appreciate any of the workers who have reached out to me
Who have been nice to me
Weather they be woman, minority, or whatever
Thank you!

About this poem:
Took me about 10 minutes to write down all the years of hire at my job. It seems kind of ironic that the two biggest hire years are the ones I got hired on. I was hired in 2007 and let go in 2008. Then hired on again in 2013.TRY, TRY, TRY, AGAIN! TO EARN SUCCESS.
ARE YOU TREKING DOWN A ROAD WITH NO END IN SIGHT?
TRY, TRY, TRY, AGAIN!
DOES THE TIME SEEM TO TICK AGAINST YOU?
THAT YOU ONLY WISH THAT THE CLOCK CAN PAUSE FOR A MOMENT, THAT YOU MAY HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEVE ?
TRY, TRY, TRY, TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING AGAIN!
DO YOUR CHALLENGES WEIGH YOU DOWN?
TRY,TRY, TRY USING THE COURAGE OF A WOUNDED LION TO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT!
ARE YOU ENTANGLED WITH THE TWIST AND TURNS OF LIFE AS THOUGH YOUR BREATH FADES AWAY?
THEN KNOW, THAT THE GLORIOUS MOMENT OF SUCCESS HAS COME, SO CLOSE, AS AIR TO YOUR NOSTRILS,
PATIENTLY CALLING !
FEEL IT, CRAB IT, USE IT
TRY, TRY, TRY, AGAIN!
DOES THE TIME SEEM TO TICK AGAINST YOU?
THAT YOU ONLY WISH THAT THE CLOCK CAN PAUSE FOR A MOMENT, THAT YOU MAY HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEVE ?

TRY,TRY, TRY USING THE COURAGE OF A WOUNDED LION TO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT!

Enter At Your Own Risk ......
for whom dears to enter the masters house with out a key, shadows well fall upon who dears to take from the masters house, luck well not be on your side for the phenomenon of truth well become lies, the celling of this house is under the skies of the watchful eyes the smell of defeat is not at your side taking my gifts well be your curse! the building blocks for witch I speak are only mine an mind to keep !

About this poem:
the moral of the story here is hand off what is not yours .
WELCOME COME IN
Quick pace running
back & forth not
knowing which
way to go.
Customers passing by.
Sales clerk saying hi
have a great day.
Making sure this place
is friendly for all.
Wanting them to shop here.
To see my friendly face.
now go about your business
& say to the customers
have a blessed day.
Try each day to show your
gratitude for this job.
Make your boss see how
wonderful your
work effort can be.
Do above and beyond.
Be all that you can be.
Make your boss happy.

About this poem:
JOB
Moses and Management
Over 3,300 years ago there lived a man named Moses
He believed in making a six day work week
With Sunday as a day of rest
He also made sure they had enough to eat
These were slaves that he gave these rights
They made no money off of their work
But he saw the positive effect of letting people rest
This gave them hope
This restored their health
They why in 2015 are people forced to work on Sunday
For the same reasons the pharaohs did it 3,300 years ago
Power and greed

Post CommentThe Girl at the Town Dump!
The Girl at the Town Dump!
The girl at the Town Dump is unbeknownst to me
Beckons all with a friendly smile to launch their hectic day!
Starting the day with a simple enjoyable, how are you?
Isn’t it a pleasurable way when a total stranger ~ that can do!
You look around and there you see
A bit different at the dumpster since her coming
A friendly face but that’s not all
She sweeps up the loose trash that has been displaced and throws it in the dumpster putting it in it‘s dirty place!
Of course you don’t want to eat upon it’s dumpy shores but it is better then walking in muck & mire
Hey! It’s a place to throw out trash and stuff
and even that defective worn out tire
We have a smiling housekeeper at our dump
married to her town dump job
She treats the residence of our town proud as she makes it one of the pleasantest dumps around
This dedication is to the unsung town hero’s that make Life worthwhile!
