I am a certified Security Officer. Being certified means you went to school to
get trained for the job or career of your choice. I was in an accident with my
car, which was new, and since having only liability insurance on through Geico, I been
this invisible target since been in Virginia for a year now. I like wearing the security uniform

because it always make me look professional, and I have worked other jobs, like housekeeping,
and I am a good housekeeper, but working as a hotel housekeeper cleaning 14 rooms daily,
is a good job but usually after you did 8 to 10 rooms, you energy start getting low, and
your back hurt, which if you have to use the bathroom after holding it in, and I recommend
using the bathroom, and you will get some relief from the back pain. When you moving around
making beds, cleaning bathrooms, trying to remember where all the extra amenities goes that
you were shown by a regular housekeeper. And as soon as you thought you had everything pack
down, the training housekeeper comes behind you, and find you left out a towel, or you did not
fold the washcloth into a seashell right. After demostrating how to fold the washcloth, I got
right. Practice makes perfect! Being a housekeeper in a hotel is hard work, and I am not new
to hard work.
I have been recovering from whiplash in my neck, and my headaches, which come and go.
With the Ford focus, I was able to drive to different school to work as a cafeteria server,
dishwasher, and there are some people treat you different when you present yourself as a temp.
That is why I like to keep my status as a Security Officer. Because mostly been working as a
security officer for a 6 straight years. I like to get the opportunity to work as a movie and
television extra. I have come across a lot of black females who who act like they don't like
me and they dont' want anybody else to like me, from the young to the elderly, especially if
they are white (caucasion), and politically, everyone think that having a President of color or female, is going to make the world a better place for them. Right now there are those people who are spreading the hate, and preventing me from working in the city I was raise in,
went to school here from Kindergarten, and graduated high school here.
I resigned from my job as security officer in Richmond, Va after the accident happened, or I would still be working Security, if the other vehicle had many chances to turn his turn, and I
could just flow smoothly home. I bet the police officer knew the other driver did not have valid insurance, because I emailed his insurance company, and put in his policy number the driver wrote on the Driver's Exchange form, and they emailed me back saying there is no such
policyholder. So the officer favor the male driver, and faulted me with the accident.
So either way I been scrooged.
