Wow! I just noticed I haven't posted anything since February. It seems like it hasn't been that long. Well, I have a lot of catching up to do. By the way, the window that pops up when you enter this page was not put here by me. I don't know where it came from, maybe Google, idk. Anyways, I'm trying to remember what I may have put in my last post. If you read my last post and it seems like I am repeating anything on this one, you will have to forgive me. If you don't want to forgive me, too bad, this is my blog, go somewhere else then. Now I am working full time. I am still a security guard. My cat keeps getting out of my car so I have to keep trying to find her. My back hurts off and on. Just like last year, cops keep checking me to find out why I am sleeping in my car. This time it was a Sheriff's Deputy because I was sleeping in Heinz Park. He thought i was there all night but I told him it was just after I dropped my son off at work so he said just don't be sleeping in the park over night. I am a candidate for a Reserve Police Officer position. Wish me luck! I'm in love with a girl I can not have. You know what they say, you can't help who you fall in love with. Don't worry, she's an adult, lol. For those of you who were truly worried, get your minds out of the gutter, please! Relationships, it seems, just are not for me yet. I have nothing going on for me right now, no home, a beat up old car, and barely enough money to make it by. Why no home, you ask? Unfortunately everywhere I try doesn't want anything to do with me due to my history with evictions and bad credit. I've lived for over 3 months in my car, I guess I will have to do it again. I did stay with a couple of friends for about a month and a half, so I am thankful for them, but "here i go again on my own" again, lol. I try to keep in good spirits, but I also realize I am getting old, and the possibility of being alone the rest of my life is starting to become a realization to me now. I do have a few family members that I know love and care for me but I need to get out of this hole I dug and jumped in a few years back and get back on track so I may have SOME kind of life. On a good note, at least, I have a lot less stress at my current job than when I was working for Comcast. I am a lot happier now throughout the work day and even find myself singing or whistling while I work. Well, I will try to post more often, maybe when and if i get that Reserve officer job:) Thanks for reading, Wes

I'm back!! It's been about a year since I posted, so here's an update: A few months before my last post I was assigned a post at the University of Michigan, Dearborn campus, as a Security Guard for the campus library. This post assignment automatically made me a Site Supervisor since I will be supervising three co-workers during mid-term and final exam periods. So, my goal to get supervisory experience has been fulfilled. While working there I have experienced a lot, from working with police officers and campus security, dealing with groups of people including speaking in front of groups of 50 people and more, noise complaint resolution, threats, and theft. I was given the job with no training other than meeting with the Public Safety Supervisor to go over the post orders, and since the last semester I have been told a couple of times that noise complaints have been way down compared to the years previous to my employment there. I have also started another job (December 2013 to present) as an in-house security guard in Livonia. The job pays a lot better but it is only part time. So for now I am working 2 jobs at about 52 hours a week and before long I hope to reach my next goal of making at least what I was making at Comcast before I quit. Anyways, I am a lot happier now that I don't have to put up with all the headaches I had when I worked at Comcast. I would pat myself on the back but I'm worried that I would do it too hard and break something:) Until next time folks! Wes
