Sadly it's entirely true.

Stupid, stupid date. Jerk.

What's wrong with people? It's supposed to be a date, not some jerk trying to force himself on me.

So done with dating for a LONG, long time. Depressed, due to this and several other things. Sad, can't focus, don't want to move.

Short term at Wendy's:

1.) Show up on time and ready to work.
2.) Offer to cover other people's shifts if they need somebody to (if they need time off and need you to fill in for them).
3.) Do not bitch when you are given shitty jobs like cleaning the bathroom or mopping the floor. Don't look down at anything as beneath you. You will become the reliable one the boss notices can actually do the stuff that needs done.
4.) Volunteer to do the crap jobs nobody else wants to do. A long time ago at Subway, we had to peel onions and EVERYONE, including me hated it. I did it and they were so grateful that I didn't have to do anything else in terms of extra chores.
5.) Basically what others said.

Long Term:

Find somebody who does something you wanna do long term and see if you can job shadow them.

Evidently, I have been sternly informed that I, "will not dictate how the cat food is put out!"

[smirk]

I just can't even without laughing.

"You will not dictate how the cat food is put out!"

*Please note that the image above is Charlie Chaplin in the film "The Great Dictator" which made fun of HJitler and led to this impassioned speech.

People love to complain. I don't care and they think I'm ignoring them. No, I'd just rather focus on solutions and they don't realize their thoughts aren't relevant.

The cat's bowl is full and she won't eat, because the food doesn't smell "fresh" to her (right out of the bag).

My mother will complain about this forever. I tried to explain to her very simply how to fix it. She won't hear anything, but her own complaining. She wants to complain. Meh.

So, I just took the cat's food bowl, threw it away, and gave the cat a saucer (flat plate) instead. Now there is no room for older food to build up because the cat eats off a flat surface.....

All that yelling....

Cat is in exactly the right spot on my back. Hello my fury little heating pad.... Please continue to lay right on that rib. Claws in, and we're good.

Son of family friend arrested. All expect my defense; none expect to pay.
I refuse, but advise on extreme severity of charges. Attorney required. Advice refused.
Prosecutor and Judge repeatedly urge legal representation. He can afford, but will not pay.
Son of family friend proceeds to trail without representation. Failure expected. Failure occurs.
Son of family friend gives politically motivated self delusional defense. No legal basis. Failure. Epic.
Significant criminal sentence, with additional contempt of court charges delivered: 3 years, 1 year suspended.

Son of family friend imprisoned. All despise me; none listened; none paid.
I point this out, advise that I warned him an attorney was required. He refused. They don't care.
His mother repeatedly slaps me in face. I gently catch and redirection roll her hands to avoid harm to her and I.
She exhausts herself attempting to assault me. Her husband, still upset with me, is only mildly upset with her.
I explain her actions constitute a crime, but it may not be reported if she stops. She does, reluctantly.

I am numb. They are upset. He is imprisoned. Only he and his family are shocked by this. All others saw it coming.

I am not allowing myself to emotionally process anything right now. My thoughts, complex, yet concise.
I realize I am sad, but cannot feel it right now. I am disappointed, and weary of being blamed for others' mistakes.

Hiding depression as counterproductive. Short term strategy. Attempting to focus on more fruitful thoughts. [sigh].
