Back in the mix

Kinda feel like a fish out of water, here at my new airport... Only saving grace about it is there's tons of pretty good looking girls up here showing off the milk balls if you know what I mean...


It's going to hopefully go forward without issue. I'm just your average every day nobody tsa officer dude. I don't have any problems getting gov money poured on me. Sadly that's the reality we live in. Nothing in this country is free. Either I get a job or go on welfare or something to get by basically. I'd prefer to get a job and be a part of the work force honestly, who wouldn't... I know...


Lucky me, I got this job. It's like being in heaven honestly. You get paid a lot to do very very little all day. Shrugs, come at me bro, give it to me.


I do want to get my pilot license and become a pilot, hell pilots will give you their full support in joining the club, they want to see that, young males interested in the gig... I just wish the requirements weren't so out of this universe.... 4 years of college, then flight training etc... it's not THAT bone crushing a job, guys. They probably will dial it back down in the future, I don't know.


I hate how the public looks down on TSA. I don't, and can't. We've found things, that part works. A tso got shot for no reason, etc... There is a threat to air travel and somebody's got to be there standing there to prevent it, that's the bottom line. And it's an organization that's giving young black males opportunities to be productive, get paid through the teeth, and seek higher levels of gov employment down the line.... It's fun, it's just a blast to come to work and know you're not going to be in pain at the end of it, pays well, you get to feel like someone who's on the right side of life and doing the right thing... Hate it all day, it's been nothing but a positive to me and I hope to make it last maybe forever...


Yeah I said it... I do indeed like the TSA shiznit. It's awesome as hell. I mean I have a choice, go work at target making pizza, go lift luggage at delta, or sit back and look at an xray screen for a while and get a hell of a bigger pay check at the end of it. It's not even a choice, get the gig, keep the gig. Now the downsides?


You don't matter.


It's gov job. Everything's paperwork. YOU are paper work... You're a stapler to them. They honest to God don't care about you worth a spec of dust. In and out, they'll find another guy on the street and give him your job. I guess that's because it's a non-skilled kinda job. You don't really have skills that anyone else couldn't provide... Fair enough. But I wouldn't run this ship like that honestly. We're not mcdonalds. Everyone should feel like they count and are important, not just a throw away employee... It's a double edged sword, because TSA doesn't give a crap about you, you won't get the spotlight on you much if at all. But you also won't get a "thanks" or recognition from anyone either. You'll just be a little screw in a big machine.


Whatever right... just make the money and run, bro... Agreed. I want to make money, they pay. I don't know how I got here earning a ridiculous pay check. I honestly don't, but I'm not going to complain... Just need to get into a groove sort of thing, feel confident going to work every day, not feel so excluded. Definitely not feel so lost and out of place. And gotta say, I just need to get and understand how to manage money finally. It's going to be a long learning curve for me. I mean, that's natural, always have gotten places slower than others due to my living conditions... but yeah, overall I can tell you this is about learning about money and how it can be utilized right now.... Cuz I don't know anything about it, but the thing that I did learn recently is that money talks, it just does. It's more powerful than your skin, your gender, a lot of things. It's probably the most powerful sob in this society at the end of the day. Hell, I mean if I'm pushed I can FIND food, but I'll be damned, there's not a bite to eat within a fart's distance if you don't have a dime on you. Good grief. Can't even live without a penny, no shelter, nothing... so yeah, I do indeed need to learn to save up and manage money...
