Do You Need A South Florida Workers Compensation Attorney

 I don't think I have talked much on here about what I do every day when I go to work.  In the mornings and afternoons, I deliver mail. In between, I am a courier of sorts, delivering different products between businesses.  I get to meet some pretty interesting people, but I spend most of the day, alone in my van, which I love.  I turn the radio up and sing along, which gets me some pretty funny looks from the other drivers on the road.  I drive a van, and I have to climb my big old butt in and out of it at least 50 times a day. The seat, when I am standing outside, is higher than my chest.  I am short, so to a normal person it is probably not that high, but for me, it's a climb.  It is doing wonders for my legs though, so I'm not complaining.

I am, however, waiting for the day that I actually fall out.  It hasn't happened yet, but I have come close several times.  I don't know much About Workers Compensation, but I do know that if something did happen to me on the job, my boss would make things right.  I don't think I would have to hire a South Florida Workers Compensation Attorney or anything like that.  

A friend of mine fell at her job a few years ago, and she ended up suing the company because she had lasting problems.  I believe when all was said and done she ended up with several thousand dollars.  Her lawyer worked hard to get her that settlement, but it was worth it.  I mean, the company didn't even want to pay her medical bills...she needed someone to fight for her.  If you ever get hurt on the job, wouldn't you want someone on your side who would fight for you?

What Should She Be When She Grows Up?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ATETV.org. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ryan has known that he wants to be a mechanic when he grows up ever since he helped Junior change a set of brake pads several years ago.  It is all he talks about, and he is working towards making his dream a reality.  Kasi, however, continuously changes her mind about what she wants to be. At one time, she wanted to be a teacher, and then she wanted to be a beautician, and most recently, she wanted to be a fashion designer.  That dream, however, is fading, just like her other choices.  Luckily, I just heard about ATETV, and I plan on sitting down with her and checking out some of their videos.

ATETV stands for Advanced Technological Education Television, and it is "an award winning on-line video series with up to the minute information connecting students with education and employment opportunities".  These free videos were produced with a grant from the National Science Foundation to attract young people into the Science, Engineering, Math and Technology fields.  Kasi loves math, so I am hoping we can find something in that field to hold her interest.  They say that people working in this field will be in demand, because not enough students are being trained right now to work these jobs.  ATETV showcases pretty cool jobs, like underwater robotics and wind-farming, and then highlights the training options available to those wanting to work those jobs.  I know Kasi can do anything she puts her mind to.  I am hoping that we can come up with a plan soon to have her working towards whatever her dream job may be.

Another Missed Opportunity

My sister has a dog named Gabby. Gabby is a Cocker Spaniel. She is a cute dog, but very high maintenance. My sister bred her a few times, and the puppies were adorable.

A few years ago she decided to have Gabby fixed, and she was working for a vet at the time. The vet let my sister assist with the surgery, which I think is pretty gross. I could never do that. I guess it helped that my sister is a nurse, so she had experience with that type of thing.

If you are looking for veterinary technician employment, more power to you. I will continue to look for a job where I don't have to witness blood and guts on a daily basis.

Oh, and on a side note, the candle store already hired someone. I guess I waited too long to apply.

The Perfect Job For Me

I think I finally found the perfect job for me. No, it's not medical clerk careers that I am looking into; it's candle sales. There is this little boutique down the road from me, literally within walking distance, and they need someone part time on Thursdays and Fridays. I talked with our therapist yesterday, and switched our appointments from Thursdays to Wednesdays. Now as soon as my sister has her baby, I am going to apply.

Wish me luck.

What About Kasandra?

I am not sure if I mentioned that I was having trouble with my kids medicaid. They were in a program that my doctor's office no longer accepted, so I had to fight to get them switched. I finally got the letter today saying they were accepted into the new plan.

Well, Ryan and Brandi were. It seems they forgot about Kasi.

Figures. Nothing is ever easy for me.

I called, and after being on hold for a while, and then being transferred, I finally found the person who could help me. Turns out that Kasi was removed from the old plan, but not put into the new one. My case worker put her in the plan with the other kids, and now all I have to do is wait on their new cards to arrive in the next two weeks. I can not complain at all about the service I received today, because every single person was polite and helpful. Granted, it took a while to straighten things out, but I was okay with that because I wasn't dealing with rude people. It got me thinking that maybe I should look into case manager employment. I think I would be good at it.

Another Job Opportunity

I am getting so tired of finding jobs that I just can't get. Today it is nursing assistant employment that is unavailable to me. There just aren't shift that work with my schedule, which revolves around Junior's schedule. I think this whole job search would be easier if I could just find a job that pays well, has hours that I am available for, and doesn't involve blood.

That's not asking for too much, is it?

I Don't Have The Heart

I found another job today that I would be terrible at. It's working in animal welfare careers. I just don't think I could handle seeing the way some people treat their animals. A few days ago my dad and his wife found a little kitten that was dumped on their road, and it broke my heart just hearing about it. I know I wouldn't be able to deal with that on a daily basis.

My Dream Job

I have decided what the perfect job for me would be.

Are you ready?

I want to be Keith Urban's personal assistant.

Possible? Probably not. But man, that would be awesome!

I guess I will continue to look for meaningless work, like filing clerk jobs or something.

I really wish I had finished college, because then I could apply for a real job; something that could lead to a career.

Maybe I should just go back to school.

I Need A Resume

My search for the perfect job continues. I found this site yesterday where you can upload your resume to find jobs in reception. This is where I have a problem, because I do not have a resume. I have never needed one in the past. I guess that's something I need to work on today.

Can you put down "being a mom for 14 years" under experience?

Working As A CNA

When I first met my husband, he delivered appliances. He worked 9 to 5, and hated it. When we found out we were expecting Ryan, he knew he wanted to better himself, so he took classes to become a certified nursing assistant. The pay was much better, and he was able to find a job at a nursing home where he worked double shifts on weekends, and had the rest of the week off. This worked well until they changed his hours. He needed to find cna jobs that allowed him to work third shift, and he ended up working for a staffing agency. I will tell you right now that that was the biggest mistake he could have made. The owner of the agency was keeping more than his fair share of the money, and he never sent out tax papers, so we had a hard time filing our taxes that year. It wasn't long after that when Junior started working for the chemical plant. He doesn't regret his time as a CNA, but I don't think he will ever work that kind of job again.

I was the GM of a division of an industrial Fortune 500 company, and although I had a good job, I wanted to take advantage of the tremendous growth in China. I asked Lightship Research http://www.lightshipresearch.com if they could find American companies with manufacturing operations in China and then, of course, line me up with the hiring authority in the US. I wanted to make sure it was an American company so I could repatriate in the future. They did two searches for me: one to find all of the industrial companies where I could generate leverage in China and the second to find out which ones were owned by American companies. It took 8 weeks and I accepted an offer to be a Division President for a capital equipment manufacturer just outside of Beijing. My team was very knowledgeable and very professional. I recommend them to anyone making an executive job change.
