Just got woken up by a call from one of the shift-manager's at the plantation-station because someone called out and they're now SHORT-HANDED! Now!? I'm not SUPPOSED TO BE IN until 11am EST. But now they need me to come in at 9am EST. I was going to simply IGNORE THE CALL since my trusty answering machine did its job, BUT!? An extra two hours...?
>_<
I slept like shit and I literally just finished coughing my ass off, BUT!? I'm gonna HIT THIS SHOWER AND GET OUT THERE! SO LEMME GET MOVING! I won't be back here till damn near 9pm EST at night! If I was getting more than the $8 per hour I get THEN THAT'D BE GREAT! But since I'm NOT!? The work versus the pay, where I'm gonna be taking out trash and sweeping up and still covering my normal allotted work plus the normal amount of extracurricular too, so?!
It's interesting how people erroneously assume that working at these types of places is some easy shit when it is far from it!
I just finished reading over the online paperwork for my Pennsylvania Business License for Williams Works, along with the LLC paperwork, too! As usual, paying for the business license fee at $125 comes first! Getting the funds together for that is gonna be tight, but I'll FIGURE IT OUT AND GET IT DONE!
I'm late in posting this end of 2015 article, but now that I remember it, HERE IT IS;

China police swoop over $125bn in illegal cash transfers
Jamil Anderlini in Beijing
Chinese police have arrested hundreds of people suspected of running underground banks that illegally transferred more than Rmb800bn ($125bn) out of China into foreign currencies.
News of the busts comes as Beijing has been tightening capital controls to relieve downward pressure on the value of the renminbi and stop money flooding out of the country.
The central bank has been intervening heavily in onshore and offshore foreign exchange markets to prop up the value of the Chinese currency since it carried out a small devaluation and changed the mechanism for setting its exchange rate in early August.
Police have cracked 170 cases of illegal fund transfers and money laundering involving more than Rmb800bn since April, according to the People’s Daily, the official mouthpiece of the ruling Communist party.
The newspaper said illegal flows of money out of the country have not only affected China’s foreign exchange management system but also seriously disturbed “financial and capital markets order”.
In the biggest illegal money transfer scheme yet discovered in China, about Rmb410bn was transferred overseas using hundreds of bank accounts in southern China and the territory of Hong Kong, which is outside the country’s capital controls.
The crackdown has been carried out by China’s police in co-operation with the foreign exchange regulator and the central bank, which have been tightening already strict capital controls.
The campaign against underground banks was ramped up following the August 11 devaluation and exchange rate reform as the government tried to block the flow of hundreds of billions of dollars fleeing the country and the renminbi.
The central bank was forced to spend hundreds of billions of China’s foreign exchange reserves, which are still the world’s largest at $3.5tn, in an attempt to hold up the value of the currency.
Huge outflows of cash appear to have slowed in October, with official figures showing the central bank and commercial banks bought a net $2bn of foreign exchange last month.
In the past week, Beijing has also taken steps to restrict transactions at offshore renminbi clearing banks, in an attempt to curb speculators betting on further depreciation, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
Offshore renminbi clearing banks have been instructed by the central bank to suspend trading in bond repos and renminbi account financing.
In September, the foreign exchange regulator began looking into corporate purchases of foreign currency to try to stem the flow of cash out of the country.
The series of moves to restrict currency transactions comes even as Beijing is pushing for the International Monetary Fund to include the renminbi as a component of its “Special Drawing Rights” reserve asset.
The IMF is likely to agree to include the renminbi in the SDR at the end of this month, in spite of Beijing’s recent steps to tighten capital controls, which go against the IMF’s requirement that all included currencies should be “freely usable”.
Analysts say that if the renminbi does join the dollar, euro, yen and pound as a component of the SDR, that could reduce some of the depreciation pressure on the currency — because inclusion will make it more likely that central banks will include it in their reserves.
But some experts say the significance of the renminbi being included in the SDR has been exaggerated.
“The inclusion is symbolic though it should be regarded as a good thing,” said Yu Yongding, an academic adviser to the central bank’s monetary policy committee from 2004-06, in an interview with Bloomberg. “It will not have any significant impact on anything — and it will change nothing unless the inclusion is a step toward more reforms of the international monetary system.”
Getting ready to go eat and THIS flashed into my inbox, ugh! And ONCE AGAIN I SAY TO YOU, My People, We are following White Religious Beliefs where the Whites themselves have NEVER ADHERED TO THEM. And instead of these beliefs bringing them freedom and peace, HISTORICALLY!? They have led to them literally attempting to annihilate each other over them. Last time I checked that is a clear cut sign that if the originators can't get what they supposedly originated to work right, then?
We have no business blindly continuing to follow such beliefs when We have historical proof that they've not only NOT WORKED FOR THEM. But they have already been proven to have been dumped on Us as BRAINWASHING TOOLS to tell Us that OUR BETTER LIFE AND BETTER WORLD WILL COME ONCE WE ARE DEAD IN THE GROUND AS WE ENDURE HELL ON EARTH.
Uhhhh, nah, I'll pass.
Here is the disturbing article;
Priests and church leaders sexually abused hundreds of children in Altoona Diocese: AG office
Hundreds of children were sexually abused over a period of at least four decades by priests or religious leaders in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, a statewide investigating grand jury has concluded.
The findings by the grand jury, released Tuesday by the office of state Attorney General Kathleen Kane, detail widespread abuse involving at least 50 priests or religious leaders. The findings reveal a troubling history of diocesan superiors concealing the child abuse as part of an effort to protect the church's image.
The 147-page report details — at times graphically — accounts of sexual abuse of children at the hands of priests and church leaders. The late Monsignor Francis B. McCaa, the report notes, was "a monster" who groped and fondled the genitals of at least 15 boys, many of them altar boys. McCaa was assigned to Holy Name Church in Ebensburg for more than 20 years.
At least one of his victims committed suicide, the investigation found.
The grand jury found the case of Joseph Gaborek, 70, to be "particularly heinous example of the Diocese exercising authority and influence to cover up the sexual abuse of a child at the hands of a Diocesan priest."
Gaborek, who was assigned to St. Michael's Church in West Salisbury and St. Mary's Church in Pocahontas in the early 1980s, sexually violated a boy after recruiting him to work at the parishes, according to the report.
"The heinous crimes these children endured are absolutely unconscionable." Attorney General Kathleen Kane
Monday's report is the latest case in the global sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. The repercussions of that scandal in the United State has driven parishioners from the church, forcing parishes in some communities to shutter their doors amid dwindling attendance.
Similar allegations of child sexual abuse at the hands of priests have been made across scores of diocese in the U.S., from the largest to the smallest in recent decades.
Few have been as stunning as the scandals that played out in Boston, the fourth-largest diocese, and Philadelphia.
In Boston, after decades of allegations and investigations, church officials in 2003 agreed to pay $85 million to settle more than 500 civil suits accusing priests of sexual abuse and church officials of concealment.
And in Philadelphia, in the wake of a 2011 grand jury report that found widespread clergy sexual abuse and concealment by church officials, the diocese has removed a number of priests deemed unsuitable for the priesthood. Philadelphia also resulted in the conviction and sentencing of Monsignor William Lynn, the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic Church official convicted in a child sex abuse scandal.

A Pennsylvania appellate court recently ordered a new trial for Lynn, overturning for a second time his landmark verdict. A three-judge Superior Court panel found that Lynn's 2012 conviction had been tainted by prosecutors' presentation of nearly two dozen examples of the Philadelphia Archdiocese's failure to handle pedophilia within its ranks.
A 2014 study commissioned by the Catholic Church found that more than 4,000 U.S. priests had faced sexual abuse allegations in the last 50 years. The cases involved more than 10,000 children - mostly boys.
Between 2004 and 2013, the Catholic Church spent more than $2 billion in a settlements, therapy for victims, support for offenders and attorneys' fees with regards to clergy sexual abuse.
Tuesday's grand jury report detailed accounts of abuse by Martin Cingle, 69, a priest who in 1979, groped the genitals of a child while sleeping next to the boy on a cot in his underwear.
In a two-year exhaustive investigation, the grand jury reviewed more than 200 exhibits and heard testimony from numerous witnesses, ultimately executing a search warrant last August at a diocesan office, where officials uncovered a "secret archive."
Pope Francis in 2014 created the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors to advise him in the fight against child sexual abuse has reiterated that Catholic bishops have "a moral and ethical responsibility" to report suspected abuse to civil authorities.

Found within boxes and filing cabinets detailing the sexual abuse of children, authorities found internal correspondence related to the sexual abuse, including handwritten notes of Bishop James Hogan and letters and documents sent to Bishop Joseph Adamec. Investigators removed approximately 115,042 documents from the diocese office.
Investigators used the materials to detail the actions of Hogan and Adamec, who led the Altoona Diocese from the mid-1960s through 2011. The bishops were at the forefront of the cover-up, the grand jury noted in its report.
Kanes said diocesan officials endangered thousands of children and allowed known child predators to abuse additional victims.
"The heinous crimes these children endured are absolutely unconscionable," said Kane, speaking at a press conference at the Blair County Convention Center. "These predators desecrated a sacred trust and preyed upon their victims in the very places where they should have felt most safe."
Kane said the cover-up carried out by clergy leaders, which allowed the abuse to continue for decades, was equally troubling.
"They failed in our society's most important task of protecting our children.
Although the investigation is ongoing, none of the criminal acts detailed in the grand jury report can be prosecuted due either to the deaths of alleged abusers and the statute of limitations, which in most cases, has expired.
Additionally, the grand jury deemed that "deeply traumatized victims" were unable to testify in court.
The grand jury has issued recommendations, including lifting the statute of limitations for sexual offenses against minors and urging the Legislature to suspend the civil statute of limitations on sexual abuse claims.
The grand jury also found several instances in which law enforcement officers and prosecutors failed to pursue allegations of child sexual abuse within the diocese.
In the case of Gaborek, for example, investigators found that Bishop Hogan assured police investigators that he would send the priest to "an institution." Gaborek was sent on sabbatical to a school for boys where no psychological or psychiatric treatment was provided. Gaborek was later reassigned to another parish.
The diocesan files detail Hogan's intervention in the police investigation. One of the files notes that Gaborek "would have been prosecuted and convicted of [sexual contact with a 16-year-old boy] except that the bishop intervened and he was sent to Michigan for treatment and then placed in another parish upon his return."
In the case of Cingle, the files show that the alleged 1979 victim met with Bishop Adamec in 2002. The bishop sent the young man for "treatment," which lasted one month. The diocese, the files show, found no evidence of "psychopathology in the psychological data" with regards to the priest. Cingle was returned to full-time ministry.
During his testimony before the grand jury, Cingle acknowledged that he could have accidentally fondled the boy's genitals. Cingle, the report stated, told Adamec the same version of the story, but the account does not appear in diocesan records.
Cingle was removed from the ministry last year at the urging of the Office of Attorney General. Investigators concluded that Adamec wanted to avoid scandal. The matter was never reported to law enforcement.
In the case of McCaa, the grand jury found that he had abused children during confession; other times, he abused his victims while they were standing together.
Hogan kept detailed notes of his meetings with two prosecutors who worked for the Cambria County district attorney's office, the report states. The bishop transferred McCaa to work as a chaplain at a West Virginia hospital.
The Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown covers an eight-county region that includes Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clinton, Fulton, Huntingdon and Somerset counties. More than 90,000 parishioners are members of the diocese.
In a report last year, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops found that between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013, a total of 857 people came forward in 191 Catholic dioceses and eparchies to make 936 allegations of sexual abuse.
So I've been off my FEET most of today! I've got to color Cerberus Hanoi and I'm trying to decide whether to PHYSICALLY color her. Or use my paint program on the computer or transfer the inked drawing to my old desktop computer that has the real programs on it to do whatever I wanna do with it!
My main concern has simply been trying NOT TO keep staring at my answering machine and cellphone waiting for the 3rd and final callback so I can get the fuck on with my life and away from the plantation-station, NEVER MIND THAT!?

This situation with My Room for Rent is really becoming a big problem and I'm NOT going to go into details on that JUST YET OR RIGHT NOW. I'm trying to get the landlord to do the right thing and he's being forced to admit that he went into being a landlord with good intentions and he's finding out like too many Black People that Whites get away with way more shit than they should by NOT having to pay or do the things they're supposed to because the system is set up NOT TO KEEP TOSSING THEM BEHIND BARS AND HITTING THEM WITH PENALTIES AND FEES TILL THEY'RE HOMELESS!
On the other hand!?
We get HIT UP! The moment ONE THING IS OUT OF LINE OR REPORTED! So I'm BEING FAIR TO HIM and EXTENDING HIM LEEWAY OUT OF RACIAL RESPECT. And fix your face. Some of you read that and frowned up your face, FIX YOUR FUCKIN FACE. Undoing centuries of Us being REWARDED BY WHITES TO SHIT ON ONE ANOTHER TAKES EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE OF US GIVING AND BEING UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER, shit won't be fuckin solved overnight or with a magic wand and probably NOT within the lifetime of most of you reading this, myself included as the Blackman typing this, BUT!?
A collective effort of REBUILDING AND WORKING ON SETTING RIGHT WHAT WAS MADE WRONG IS HOW IT IS DONE! So for those of you who frowned your face because I have the balls to type the truth about this matter;
Fix Your Face.
As for anyone and everyone else?
As you were.
And let me proceed with the rest of this post.
I've got to work out at some point today since I worked out on friday. As usual I have plenty to post and too much shit going on in the real world with my physical body and of course with things like the Hanoi drawing and stories that I'm creeping along typing and as usual, I still haven't eaten yet. So? Lemme go do that! I have two MONSTER POSTS for Williams Works that need to get put up before this day is over, too.
