I honestly don't know what happened to it. I never really followed it or anything, but I think after the off topic section just got integrated into General people just stopped posting there. At least I think so

Hello lilg742ster. How are you?


I am good! And by good, I mean that I taste like bubblegum, because someone sprayed my bedsheets with bubblegum perfume.

What about you? I see you talking about getting a sleeve tattoo, yes?

Reflections on Job experiences

I start with a supposition, I didn't have a ton of job experience to pull from for the sake of this paper. Most jobs that I've had weren't positions where I was ever really interacting with much more than one other employee, because I've been a janitor, ranch hand "which is basically a janitor" and a horseman, I still don't have a ton of experience with the modern workplace. I digress, I'll just try to keep it interesting.

I was 17 years old and we had to put our horses into a boarding facility 'Not the watery kind' because we were moving into town and couldn't afford land. While that experience isn't the subject of this paper, it was the catalyst for the work experience I want to talk about.
While I was at the boarding facility we met the guy who ran the place for decades. Ken 'Snr' was a 70 year old Vietnam war veteran who hired me on to give me something to do. He could barely hear because he always had machinery running when he was around and because he shot a magnetic mine too close. While the facility was given proper upkeep and he had free time he was sometimes in his workshop building things or away fishing 'since he hired me to handle maintaining the facility.' He was actually a master of making cabinets, which is apparently a very esoteric career. From what he said pretty much the only way you can learn the way of the trade is to apprentice yourself. While I was there I also met his son "Ken 'jr,'" he raced and bred horses professionally, I remember his horse was a grand champion barrel racer. A pure bred palomino paint named "Dallas," with champion papers on both sides of her family tree. Hands down the best horse I've ever had to work with. I could take her from her pin to the far field there and back again, at liberty. Though, working with that Ken and that horse were the only easy things to work with on that property. Anyways, I ended up moving again after about three quarters of a year so I'll just get on with it.

I didn't end up learning a lot about cabinets, HOWEVER 'Hand gestures' I do have experience in being a ranch hand. Answering what the job experience did to change my attitude about management and the workplace. I can say that I learned about honest work, I learned that some bosses are worth working for and some jobs are worth working. I learned that you can enjoy what you do and be proud about your work even if it's challenging, or even if your job simply isn't a big deal. It's not always just about where you're going, but what you're doing. That experience is probably a big contributing factor in me deciding to go through with entering culinary school. I realized that I want to do something that I enjoy and can feel accomplished about at the end of the day. Not in a social construct kind of way 'more hand gestures,' in the way that you feel after maintaining a boarding facility all day. And that the people that you work for aren't always going to be acrimonious to their employees.

Thank you.

Edited to your point outs.

Thanks for being my proof readers, it's already 3 am, I need to eat, bathe and rest before I start again in ten hours. So I'll still have some time for tweaking it tomorrow.
But I'm super high right now and the teacher said that there was no formal format or anything like that.

It seems really well put together, besides a few grammatical errors in the beginning. Like "Most (of) the jobs that I've had..." "...met the guy (who) ran the place..." and "...war veteran (who).."
There might be more but that's what I caught on the first read through. I also think there were times when you could have reworded a few things to make it sound more elegant, but that really boils down to personal preference.

As a freeflow narration, it is a nice piece of work, but its rife with grammatical and sentence errors like "Most jobs that I've had weren't positions were I was ever really interacting..." and "Though, working with that Ken and that horse were the only easy thing to work with on that property." and "And that the people the you work for aren't always going to be acrimonious to their employees."

Whats the focus of the piece? Is it meant to be freeflow?

You might want to replace some of the stuff that you've put in quote with brackets. Like "which is basically a janitor", "Not the watery kind", "since he hired me to handle the maintenance facility". I don't know why you've put some of those stuff in quotes, because it doesn't really fit in there at all and I've never seen quotes used that way to replace brackets.
