I absolutely love my job, I really do but lately with everything going on in my life, I find it to be a bit demanding. I think that I should probably start looking for something else because I can’t see myself having the same job forever. Have you ever felt that you didn’t fit in somewhere anymore? That’s how I feel about my job. The thing is, I didn’t start feeling this way until I started really having some personal problems at home. When things happen to me, they completely change my way of thinking sometimes. However, I’ve never been so determined to make such a change in my life. Maybe that means I’m really going to make some huge changes in my life. Only time will tell.
I’ve been updating in my livejournal lately. Mostly really personal things, you can check that out. Sometimes I feel like posting certain things that just don’t fit on my livejournal or this website so I post them on my vox. You may check that out as well and feel free to add me on both! Also, I haven’t been very great with keeping up with my forum and for that, I apologize. Feel free to shoot me an email if you feel like you’d be great in helping me manage my forum. I really would appreciate the help. For a short while, I thought about completely deleting it due to my busy schedule but I’ve noticed that a lot of people enjoy being on my forum, so unless it goes completely dead, I will keep it up.
Question: How come people are always “forgetting” their children in cars in the summer? How come we never really hear about these things in the winter? I was watching the news this morning and a couple locked a child in their car. They claim they “forgot” about the child and went inside the house. I mean, how much attention are you really paying where you don’t notice that your child isn’t in the house? Throughout the night I’m always checking on my son to make sure he’s alright. Maybe I’m just not seeing the logic that these people are using in these situations.

I don’t understand that logic either, but I do remember my fiance suggesting me one time that we should just leave our baby in the car since “we’re only gonna be 5 minutes” and I got offended by that. I mean, how could he even think about leaving our baby in the car by herself without supervision? What could take 5 minutes may take 10… but that isn’t the point. No parent should leave their children in their cars, in my opinion.

I hope you make the changes you want in your life.
I don’t understand just forgetting your child. But, sometimes you have a situation where both parents think the child is with the other.

I think that’s just work for you sometimes. I know that’s how I feel when I have so much going on with my life. I start slacking though, and I get disinterested in what I’m doing. Maybe you need to get away for a few days. Let your mind go elsewhere. Sometimes you just need time for yourself.
Darn, I don’t have a livejournal. I did back in the day. I am ashamed of myself, I haven’t been to the forum in a minute too. Just so much going on this week.
As far as people “forgetting” their kids, I find that to be outrageous. I mean but who am I to say that people don’t get overwhelmed enough in their thoughts that they easily forget things at times. I wish it wasn’t possible but unfortunately it is. But it’s not right.

Hey there! I was looking for you for about two weeks.
I kept going to intricate-life and the forum was down?
Any way, I guess a job can ‘get old’ especially when you want to make changes. The same ol’ same ol’ just won’t cut it forever. Though, you should try not to let the personal things at home effect your work ethic/devotion.
I heard a lot of buzz of your forum at divergente, so I don’t think you should delete it. About the whole ‘forgetting your children’ thing, I mean it happens, but going in the house..? When you come inside, shouldn’t you be settling your child in? How they not remember? Either they don’t care enough or they were too ‘caught up’. Get real. A mistake is okay, but it has happened wayy to much.

Shan! Man, I was wondering when you’d come back. I just thought “Hopefully she’ll comment me…” LOL. I missed you on this side of the net =]
Anyways, even though Juju isn’t my own kid but my brother, I’m sort of the mom now since ours is gone. Most people swear I have this thing against him because of our circumstances and me not being bale to do normal things like other teens, but I don’t. I make sure that boy is okay. When I show up at home and I don’t see him around, I’ll call up the while city if I have to just to make sure he’s okay and in safe hands. Before I go to bed, I make sure he’s fine and dandy in his own. I would never lock him in a car, especially this time around and make up some bullshxt lie as to why I did it.
Sadly some people have no logic at all =/
As far as the job goes, I do hope things take a turn for the better. That’s sorta what happened to me, ‘cept my fiasco was with school. Things went to doo doo at home and I took a whole different perspective. Interesting how that works I guess =]
Welp, I’m rambling on a little too much.
~take care!

There’s always a time for change in life. Like I said in my blog, we need to move on and open up for future. It can bring a positive outcome in our lives, we never know. I hope it all turns to good for you.
As for a job, I think that change can make you take a breath. It’s not recommended to stay at one place for a whole life. I remember I made a speech about it in my English class one year ago.
Your question is good, but I have no idea what to say. It doesn’t happen here a lot, so I’ve never really thought about it. I can’t imagine how you can forget about your own child, I just can’t, so that’s why I don’t know what to say, ha ha. Perhaps everyone has this flash in mind which contributes to such accidents.
PS. Your vox is very cute. :)

Wow, i’ve been looking for youuuuuuuuu!
Its been a while since I commented on one of your blogs … and belive me your blogs always have me reading the whole thing. Its almost like watching a telivison show most of the time LOL. Like when you stop … I always hope when I click comment it would be more but yeah now that I found you, I’m gonna save you to my favs, and when I get home i’ll link you cause I love your blogs.
Okay … I havn’t expericned that job problem yet but in other situations I guess I kinda felt like that. Forgetting your child in the car? WTF type of parent are you if you leave your child and then say you forgot. Shame shame shame.

Maybe they were arguing or something but I couldn’t see myself just forgetting my child in the car or leaving them there for a period of time. Too many children get kidnapped..a snake could have snuck in the car..too much stuff going on in this world to just be leaving children places.

Congrats on the new site Shannon! :-)
That’s how I felt about McDonald’s. I loved it at first but then it just got annoying because the manager was soo cruel and mean. She was a little verbally abusive so I had to get out of there. I wasn’t going to work for someone who didn’t have respect for the employees.
I don’t get how someone could leave a child in the car either. I mean, that’s your child how could you forget your own child? I think there’s absolutely no excuse. That’s your pride and joy, if you are that forgetful you really don’t even need a kid.

I think you maybe need a change or just need some breathing room. I just got my first job ever so I can’t say I relate. I hope things work out for the best in you situation though.
I was just thinking yesterday while sitting outside of this restaurant that it’s too hot outside for people to just leave their kids in the car. This makes no sense to me. I would never leave my child, if I had one, in a car to do what? Burn up..suffocate. The heat is so thick. I don’t know what occupies their mind so much that they forget about their own flesh and blood.

Sometimes we need to make changes in our lives. I’ve been in situations before where I felt as though I didn’t fit in anymore and changes needed to be made.
I really don’t understand that situation either. How can someone just forget about their kid? It seems quite silly to me though. If I had a child I’m positively sure it’ll have my full attention. I haven’t heard any cases of parents forgetting their kids in cars here.

The fire department arrived at store, a few days ago, because a Mother locked her kid in the car, while she ran in to grab a few things. She left it running, keys in, but the auto lock clicked in.
They got the kid out, unlocked the car, she said she had to go back in again, walked away, and the same thing happened.
I never wanted to smack a woman across the face.
1) ARE YOU NUTS!? LEAVING YOUR KID ALONE IN THE CAR?
2) WITH IT RUNNING, KEYS IN, WHILE ANYONE COULD BREAK IN AND DRIVE AWAY WITH YOUR KID?
3) ARE YOU REALLY THAT CARELESS?
