So Today was deadline day so to speak...  I had a imposed deadline by my employer that by today I either was able to meet company standard policies which were to be able to count a drawer correctly, maintain high customer service attitudes, and be a team player... well It was decided that as hard as I tried i just couldn't match the standards set. I was repeatitly missing counting my drawer even though I would think I was at the total I needed to be at I was off usually by .5 cents 6 cents you get the idea.. I just couldn't ever get that drawer to be right. 
 I was also having some issues with customers. Not major ones mind you but mini ones. for example when I would ask for a customers membership number sometimes I wouldn't catch all of it because they weren't looking at me and I wouldn't be able to hear them so I would politely at least I thought politely ask them to repeat it..  One customer even said "why should I repeat it" you should have heard it the first time."  I just was having difficulty handling the rudeness of the customers..
  SO I met with my supervisor and the head supervisor and was read yet another lengthly warning and at the end of it I just thought to myself rather than continuing to beat myself sensenless and increase my stress and basically prove the theory of your not insane when you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. (Well the reason that statement is true is because if you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result to come up YOU GOTTA BE INSANE).. so we talked for  a good half hour and at the end I said that I really did enjoy working there but with the stresses of the high expectations and the holidays looming and not being able to match what they were looking for.. that it would be beneficial to both of us that we end our relationship and part ways. 
 So they told me that they would be glad to give me a recommendation .. so in a way we ended it on good terms so thats a good thing... so now onto job #2 I have some applications in at the Gap, and at  the hospital and  I have a meeting set with my job coach tomorrow so we just have to start over again.. but i am hopefull

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring.  Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be.  Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do.  I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best.    One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

What a LIFE

So let me think I haven't updated this since late november and quite a lot has happened.. I got myself a new kitten after the death of my 17 year old one and she is quite a handful but worth every second that I am with her.. her name is mitzvah or mitzy ( it means blessing in hebrew) but pretty much after bringing her home as part of my family my cat of 9 years quickly became sick and on december 6 after already been brought to the vet and told that he was just very sick and given a shot and to give him time to heal and recover I had to take him to an emergency vet. Sadly he didn't make it and died in my arms * the third cat in the past 4 months to die in my arms) SO yeah that was quite a shock..  So beside dealing with a lot of the pain and hurt from that I have been turning most of my attention towards work. I have worked at borders for just over a month and I love it! I LOVE the people the atmosphere everything.. and I don't really mind the hours I have had to wake up at...

A New Year, A New Me?

So with it now being 2021, My hope is that things will start to get better, ( like most everyone else). I have continued to struggle with some of the same issues, that I had in previous years, mostly my health (physical, mental/emotional being the main two.  A lot of the health issues are due to my diabetes, which this September will be 21 years that I was diagnosed.  It has been a roller coaster over these past two decades, but I am always doing my best to maintain as good “control” as I can. However, it continues to be a frustrating situation, especially when there is so much disconnect between doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and of course the biggest brick wall ever, the Insurance Company.   While I was living back in Vermont, I was truly lucky to have some of the best health care that was available to me at the time.  However, since moving to Florida, eight years ago this July, I have found that its a constant battle to be able to not only get my insulin covered, b...
