Admirable Professions

 Today's Wordpress writing prompt: What profession do you admire most and why?

My response:

I thought of professors right away. I admire the work professors do. I hope to be a professor one day. The motivation project I prepared for my PhD program provided examples of professors that do good work and similar positions I would like to fill.

I do admire other professions such as doctors, police officers, and people in international affairs. Doctors are in the healing business. They help people to live better lives. Police officers help people to live more law-abiding lives. They maintain order in society. Both of these professions are needed and important. 

Professions are admirable but the more I think about it, the people in the positions also have something to do with it. When the right person is in a job, the job he/she does rises to another level. For example, the person may interact better with individuals.

People should enter professions that are a good match for them.

Day Out

 Today, I was at Golden Corral again. Just like last time, I was there with my father for a father-daughter day out. Again, I enjoyed my time at the restaurant.

I wanted to enjoy the food there but didn't want to eat too much. There were a lot of food options/offerings - fish, chicken, meatloaf, vegetables, cakes, pies, ice cream, and a lot more. I selected a small fraction of the options from the buffet.

My first plate of food had chicken and a few more items. After finishing my first plate and putting it aside, I moved on to plate 2 - a plate half-filled with macaroni and cheese and 4 other small items (shown below).

I had some delicious steak from my father.

I will complete the customer experience survey on the bill. It is essentially a customer review of the restaurant.

In The News

 The economy may be taking a turn. News reports indicate that applications for unemployment benefits are higher than normal. Tough times may be ahead.

 

 

 

 

 

Health Benefits

 After my attempts to submit an online disability benefit application failed, I called the general number to set up an appointment. It is further away than I anticipated. 

I like that there are various benefits to assist people who find themselves in trouble in the US. Unemployment insurance and disability insurance are examples. People find themselves in all sorts of trouble. The benefits could be a lifeline. I do believe people prefer to be supporting themselves through gainful employment. But life happens.

I am still dealing with health issues - my eye and other issues. I have lots of appointments. I don't feel well sometimes. I hope I obtain disability benefits.

All Things Wise

I thought of this song today:

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small

All things wise and wonderful

The Lord God made them all.

Another Time

 I had a good time.

Update

 I had Popeyes chicken today. I enjoyed the chicken. My father brought it for me today. Maybe he knows that I am dealing with a lot and wanted me to feel better. I appreciate all he does.

My sister was here yesterday. She comes over from time to time to assist me. I appreciate their support during this time in my life. There is no doubt that family is important. I am dealing with health and other issues.

Tomorrow I will be going out to Golden Corral with my father. We go there from time to time. We sit and talk.
