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.

Dad sounds a bit immature if you don't mind my saying so! My dog approves of your attitude, so do I.

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!

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
