Wow, that is some parenting fail right there. They're right though, you're not on their level. You can probably look down into the mud and see where they're coming from though. Good on you for trying not to get that stuff on you.

 

Not really sure where your mom gets off on having you skip therapy either. Parenting fail again.

 

Good on doggo for cheering you up though. That's what a Good Boy is best at. I mean he's not a cat, but I'm biased. ?

 

I keep going over that and thinking, "Man, I hope he gets to go to college out of state."

 

I hope today goes better for you bro. I swear it gets better after you move out.

 

Hugs!

Pf, yes, I don't want mud on my shoes, I had to buy them with my own money haha. 

 

I have no idea why my parents are the way they are, maybe they could use some therapy as well. Thank you for your reply, I hope I find a college out of state haha. You have a great day as well.

I am so upset right now. Most of you know about my temp agency texting me not to go in to work last week on Monday. Well this morning I was woken up by the same temp agency and this time I was asked why I had not been to work for a week!!! So this whole time it was a mistake that nobody was willing to admit that they made, that screwed up my chances of ever working for this company again and it’s putting me dangerously close to homelessness!?!? Because of ineptitude? I’m so furious right now I don’t know what to do. After explaining this to the person who called me and voicing my feelings about not appreciating the mistakes because it could make me homeless, they just didn’t even acknowledge it! So I blocked them. I’ve been gaslighted and now they not only punish me but just ignore the fact that they are responsible for maybe making me homeless? She was just munching on some food and said “uh huh” with the same disinterest as if I said there’s free napkins in the break room. I just can’t. If they ever send me anything else on any other number I am going to explain that I don’t want any assignment until they pay me a full week to make up for them screwing up royally.

Is there a contact person you can call? Register a complaint? I remember there being someone I could bitch to when I was being mistreated at Volt. Of course Volt is no longer in business in this area. Maybe it's because they didn't treat their temps like complete garbage. Mostly garbage, but not complete garbage.

 

I really have no words. I'm angry on your behalf. That's inexcusable behavior from an employer but I understand how "at-will" states work. I live in one too.

 

I'm just sorry Josie. You deserve better.

 

Hugs!

There’s really no way to contact a complaint department. But I’ve already filled out a survey from a 3rd party that does the same thing. Unfortunately it’s not going to change anything, will probably mean some inadequate “training videos” for the employees to virtue signal and cover their butt legally, and then they won’t even punish anyone for the mistake. I probably can’t even file a lawsuit because they keep trying to contact me off the recorded line and are very vague in text. So I’m blocking anyone else that calls me for them. They call me or text me on official channels or I won’t answer.

It’s way past morning. I was gone half the day chasing job leads. I’m practically doing the helicopter. Feels like I’m simply flailing around my arms with no focus. I learned a few things today that could eventually be useful but the rest of the information was just more confirmation that shenanigans are going on with both my current temp agencies so it’s whatever. I just have to accept that I have to move on. I’m still very uncertain about the next couple of days.

 

There’s a couple of hits on my sale items but nothing concrete yet. For the most part I just want to sell the stuff and don’t even really need to get my asking price. It’s just remnants of a ruined life that are holding me back. 

 

I didn’t get anywhere with rental assistance. Nobody does it anymore unless you’re disabled, elderly, or have children. Totally a waste of time.

 

But they will gladly waste more of your time just to ensure that you end up homeless and enroll in one of many recovery programs! What a way to help people!

 

Yeah! Don’t prevent homelessness, that’s too ethical. Promote it so you can turn it into an industry! See? Aren’t we just so charitable? And they wonder why there’s so much insanity in the world... why does everything have to be so butt backwards? ?

I too am very angry and frustrated for you.  I can't believe this is even legal.  I am not in a "at will" state so I can't even imagine.  I am so sorry this keeps happening to you.  You deserve a break for crying out loud!

I wish I could help you some how...

Good morning 

 

coffee and waffles. For breakfast today. Makes up for nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Tuesday.  Surgery went well. They used a nerve block which was fine by me.  But as expected it wore off around 3am.   I’m feeling pretty good right now.  

 

I dont know if its if it’s good news or bad news but being retired I not in the job market. Still have lots of things I could do.  I hear all about the problems that people who still have to work have these days.  

 

Nice sunny day today. High is supposed to reach 70.

Coffee and waffles sounds good! Being retired and out of the fast lane is wonderful, every day is Saturday! What with all the traffic now I'd hate to have to go to work every day like before, another thing I'd hate is to be back in the dating scene, Ugh! I'll leave that to the youngsters.

In cis-guy parlance, a simple nod and/or eyebrow lift passes for the majority of the greetings exchanged. It's also not usually noticed by women.

You could always try that next time.

It became legal because these business owners are so afraid of spending any money to hurt the bottom line that they will lobby to make something unethical legal. They don’t have to do right because everything in the law says they can do wrong, as long as they are creating “jobs”.

 

And by that it means hiring 12 people to do the job of 30 at 2/3 the pay and with half the time to do it in. Or don’t hire them at all, just hire temps and you can do all kinds of unethical things. I’m stuck with temp agencies until I get something full time but this is wearing thin.

 

I’m just sick of being hurt. It’s been going on for 6 years in a row now and I’ve been dealing with this kind of nonsense for almost 20 years so I’m really tired of people saying things like “that’s just life!” Or “the darkest night comes before the dawn!” Or some other cliche nonsense because it hasn’t really ended for me ever. I’m very aware of how much life sucks. I don’t need any more lessons on it. I don’t need to learn how to deal with it.

 

My mental health doesn’t know how to deal with it anymore. I’m at the final breaking point this time so if I’m up against the wall it’s going to mean lashing out so other people finally get my pain or just ending it. I have no more will to do this.

Yes. Go with a slight head nod and maybe a “‘whatsup”.

In recent times companies have been going through temp agencies because it gives them a chance to try out new workers without any obligation.  If they do it right they don’t have to pay a hiring fee after a certain number of weeks.  Also the temp agency has to provide all the pre employment testing and they do all the advertising and screening.  

 

It it does sound like someone wanted you out for some reason and succeeded in finding a way without going through a proper process.  That happens all too often these days.  Also by using temps you have no protection in any state, right to work or not.

 

California is the only state I can think of that tries to fully protect the workers over the employer but even there employers can win .

Coffee is gone.  Long drive to work.  I had time to practice with my voice app on the way.  I am still having a hard time hearing myself with road noise and such.  I think it is coming along.

I have my first Doctors appointment later today to hopefully start HRT process.  

Hoping things go well.

Have a great day!

Sometimes there is grunting. There's an entire grunting language between cis-men. It's an advanced technique though, so ease into it. Observation is key.

 

Wish I was kidding here... and I  kind of half am, but the grunt could become an important part of your eventual presentation. There's a whole grunting subtext between friends. It's kind of wild.

Sitting in the parking lot in front of the hobby store. I'm up to no good. Finished three hours at the gym, chiropractor appointment and now just a ... half hour ... until they open the doors. But if I went home, I'd just have to turn around and come back.

 

Luck at the... I'm going to guess endocrinologist @ShawnaLeigh! I'm listening to Lindsey Sterling and waiting until I can go have breakfast.

 

Hugs!

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."
