Emergency Situations Swift mentor phase

I had allowed emotions to cloud over my thinking. I would want a doctor to tell me whats what. Not a ex. I don't mind the ex sharing something however something as serious as this needs a doctor involved.

I also would really hate to consider that the EX may be thinking to engineer a situation on false pretenses to cause someone to lose gainful employment. Post marriage is a really dangerous time for the couple and frankly a percentage are driven by very strong motives or powerful feelings to do things not normally done.

 

Ty for sharing. Trucking offers nothing and cannot and will not keep you in the truck on days like that. Employer might engineer some way of firing but frankly they can stick it. If I was there to witness that surgery it would be done in spirit.

I worry that with the information presented in your son's history that he might have taken some damage. for a human to be frusterated enough to cry its a bad thing.

I don't know why I did not offer this as a work around for your family. Sign Language. Its a total living language and you will have the foundation of it in a few hours and enough mastery within several nights to hold your end of a conversation. If you were around deaf long enough you will have mastery in a month. However Sign Language is a living language ever changing in small ways and carries regional differences. Based on Galludet's ABC I can have a converstation with anyone in the world today regardless of their nationality and history. And there is usually a way to transfer information both ways so that we evolve and take communication to a another level FAST.

We are also at a point in techology with Sorenson mobile that its possible to converse in signs to a smart phone camera facing you and the Relay will convert that to spoken english for other party and convert their response to sign language for you. (They don't make phones that big, sign language on a screen is problematic for me)

And we are trying to get to where you can "Command" a computer with sign language instead of a keyboard. Once your computer maps what you are where you are etc... it will become possible to do things with it that has not been done yet in the real world or in battle.

(Why I don't evolve and my my posts way shorter... //gift to those who like to tease me)

I went over board a little bit regarding voice. I'll share a history on my end.

in the 60's I was considered retarded waiting for official diagnosis to send me to Springfield Maryland as a ward of state to be warehoused for the rest of my 90 years or whatever. (You are not free) because I was not speaking. I chose in those years to simply SHUT UP. Not just shut up absolutely SHUT. UP. that way the adults leave me alone so I can think. (HA.. much good that did)

One doctor had me playing with his toys, called my name. Discovered Im deaf. Threw me into a sound proof room and indeed, this one is deaf. But the lights are definitely on upstairs just working on a quiet level other than Adults. (Duh...)

The series of schoolings I was shuttled to and from is beyond scope of this topic. Except one. Md School for the Deaf in Columbia Maryland. Off rte 100 near 29. Anyway. Week one there with nothing but deaf kids I knew all of them and their language. First month I had all of it. Month three I met my speech therapist who will do one thing for 4 years. Teach me to talk. Then talk properly. (HA... what about that profanity and pillow talk first eh? oh no... learn Apple. Baseball, School etc)

After 4 years I had two languages. Much good they are when youre in what is essentially Mexico on the border. So you collect a little Spanish. You dig out the high school french and metric for Canada. And maybe a touch of German for the Amish country. So if the waitress says to cook Zu viel essen while point at you, you take it to mean literally too many food. Or you eat too much. Hope you have the money to pay em =) /snarky.

Good luck, good hunting. I have a feeling there will be a million words out of that boy. And if there is any bullies giving him abuse about it, send him to me. I'll show them humility when they get that taken out of their system.

 

i hate to say it. but he wonders where his dad is every night. and yes i got a ex. and yes i got a daughter with my ex. and yes my ex has been a royal pain in my ### the whole time. but no i never have moved away from her. i try my very best to be in her life everyday. so that i dont understand from u. but to your point. forget any job. go be with your son. just my opinion

 

oh a yes she doesnt work. and yes she drives a new kia. and yes i pay support to her every 2 weeks on top of my daughters every need. and yes her mom doesnt do a thing. real pos i say. and yes i support that daughter plus my current wife and our two kids. so a total of 1 wife and 3 kids for me. and yes i do it all on my own check.

 

Good for you, but this thread isn't about you.

 

I've been at Swift nearly nine years. I don't know of anyone there that would not bend over backwards to make sure you were with your son when you need to be there.

Most problems people have with Swift are of their own making. But I have seen nothing except helpful in all this time.
Don't fret over it. Just explain it and tell them what you need. They will work with you.

 

You need to get away from Swift ASAP
