Any progress?

Submitted by SaganRand on Fri, 11/17/2006 - 23:29.

It has been 8 months since I decided to respect the wishes of those that took exception to my presence here on this site. I went off and stopped posting.
So, how's it going? Have any of you made any progress in life? And just to be certain that I am clear: Im talking specifically to those user-names that came after me for my comments and am NOT referring to anyone that did not address me directly.
Are you any better off? Have you managed to figure out a way to resolve your differences with people that you've had job-related issues with?
Are you still basically making the same complaints about them or some other 'new' boss/employer? Does it ever change for you?


Clarification

Seems I have upset a few folks by responding on a few other message blogs. They came here to my messages and cut-n-paste a few of my words to use against me. Specifically, they did not like a few of my 'in-your-face' comments at what I believed were overly whiny complaints. Well, I guess I am human, and sometimes can get a little frustrated when I see someone that I can truly help but they make ME do all the hard work in delivering the message (I say this due to the fact they only cut specific pieces from my blog, but ignored all the background and other useful information). Perhaps they were so busy making their complaint against me that they can't even recognize someone who has information that might be useful to them. Perhaps they really don't want to make their own situation any better. Perhaps they really do simply wish to complain all the time.


Freedom is NOT free

I am new to this site, but I do plan on posting regularly. My purpose here is not to antagonize, but to provoke fresh thought among those that have perhaps fallen prey to the current societal forces that have us all living in a blame-based society. A society where almost nobody steps up to be counted for his or her own actions, or sees any opportunity for self-improvement. Every fate they suffer is the 'fault' of someone else. Every failure could/would have been avoided if only so-and-so was not such a bad person, or if my boss were not so dumb.
First, a small amount of background:
I was born into lower-class working family in Philadelphia in 1962. We were above poverty-level but below the lower middle-class. Essentially, we maintained the 16-foot wide row-house we lived in, but only as long as mom/dad's blue-collar paychecks kept coming. One missed paycheck would have surely meant eviction. I finished high school but went no further in education (many years later I would take some evening college courses).
