Worked hard today, it got pretty warm too I might add. I think past 90. After work my mother took me to go apply for a position that does DATA entry for the post office, but they weren't taking applications. So, instead of doing the old fashioned forms of applying for a job, I decided to get all tech n9ne, and do it over the internet. I applied for a couple of positions at the hospital. One was for a assistant housekeeping position, the other was for some desk job. I hate applying online, because you never know who you are dealing with. Ya know? If I sat down with someone, I can tell by their body language, and facial expressions, also the tone in their voice of how I should act, speak, and portray myself. I can't put a read on who ever is reading my application, I guess all you can do is write honestly, and pray that whatever is suppose to happen, HAPPENS! I am not stressed, I am not worried, I would just really like to get out of this physical labor job. My tremors are getting worse and worse every week. I do not want to jeopardize my health on account of mowing lawns. That just doesn't seem very smart. BUT, at the same time, I am not going to quit Vision Scapes, until I have another job lined up.So, when I checked my E-Mail once I got to my computer today. I had 8 letters from people I did not know. This is awesome, and this is why it happened. Ya see, I am in a Yahoo Chat group for the stem cell therapy I had. People were asking all these questions in regards to the "supposed" kitchen that is available to use at the Shenyang hospital. Well, I made a simple comment. This is what I put.
Hello all, my name is Mikey Riley, I had the stem cell treatment in theShenyang hospital. THERE IS NO KITCHEN!!! I just thought I shouldstress this, because we (my mother and I) were told that there was akitchen. This is not true. We did our cooking out of a crock pot,microwave, and used a power water boiler to cook noodles and what not.If anyone has any other specific questions regarding Shenyangcity/hospital, please feel free to ask me. Direct your questions to mypersonal E-Mail though, it is much easier for me to talk back andfourth on there. mobileRILEY@...God bless,Mikey
Well, I guess more people are members to this chat group than I thought, cuz all these E-Mails are from people all around the wourld. Asking questions about the hospital, treatment, and city. What I don't understand, is people start to get appologetic if they think they are asking to many questions. I can't emphasize enough to them that I make myself available because I want them to ask questions. I know how helpful it would have been if someone would have done that for me before I went over there. So, I guess what I am trying to say is.....I am happy to be of assistance.
When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you.

Mikey, i am so sorry but i guess i do not understand what is up with the job hunt. there are employment agencies out there that could place you in the type of job you want, and just word of mouth from all your friends and their connections should help you. I would not tell my present employer that i am possibly quitting until i knew for sure i had something in place. good way to be un-employed. Hoping and wishing and praying for the job of your dreams won't work, you have to make it happen. Nobody owes you anything, so get out there and show what you have and make someone want to hire you. You can do it and you can reach your goals on your own, GO FOR IT...
my employer has known for a month what I am planning on doing, he knows that Vision Scapes isn't good for me. And he definately wouldn't fire me either. Not a chance. I will get to my dreams, I just probably won't do it in a way you understand, ohh you of little faith. p.s. you come off as an ass. :-0
I am not a ass.....Just a realist who knows what the real world is about and how you need to function in it..It appears to me that anyone who doesn't see things your way is a ass in your eyes...Not a good trait
One of the definitions of a "realist" is, 2. A person who accepts the world as it literally is and deals with it accordingly. I am a Christian though, and try to deal with the world in a Christian like manor, I mess up often, but I always fall back to the basics. I definitely don't think that someone is an ass if they disagree with me, lot's of people disagree with me, and I love them. I said you "come off" as an ass, because in your words you are obviously frustrated with how I am doing things, and it shows in your comments. There is nothing wrong with giving input; in fact I appreciate positive input. YOU however, were doing it in a stuck up, YOU'RE WRONG manor. I just didn't like that, that's all. Trust me, I do know what this world is about, and what it is looking for, I’m still going to go about things in my own way though.
well said, and i appreciate your comments..i too am a christian and do things in a way that i beleive are correct, and i am not judging you and your way...as an outside viewer of your life and trials i find myself wanting for you, and hoping you will get what you want..job, car, girlfriend etc...sincerely i just maybe want them for you too much and maybe criticize you because i feel for you and want you to get what you want, and want you to try hard to get them..i don't know you and have never met you, i started reading your blog after reading about you in the paper, so i am not a friend gone bad..lol..as i have said before i have a son your age and i think i associate you to him.. which isn't bad hes a great kid...i wish you the best and i am sorry if i come across as a ass to you, i only want you to have what you want and see you go and get it, and when you do i will be happy for you...best of health and happiness to you
This is why I publish comments that I may not understand completely in the moment. Your last comment was top notch. I love it when it all comes together. Also, I don't always tell all the things I am doing to make my goals happen. Firstly, because I don't want to count my chickens before the egg hatches. I know you understand that. You talked about how I shouldn't cut myself short with Vision Scapes, and commented on how I told my boss what my plans are. I have a "unique" relationship with him. His wife has M/S and he has shown me compassion when he definately didn't have to. I just didn't want to keep him in the dark, that was my logic to telling him what my plans are. Thanks for not getting upset, and for keeping the comments flowing. I hope you continue to do so in the future.
