I walk in my house and L’s daughter has her sweater hanging up on the drying rack.

He never/rarely does their laundry here.

I can’t help but think this little girl is slick trying to “mark her territory” because of the fiasco her father and mother caused this weekend.

Anyways I would like to throw it away but I’m going to be polite and put it inside her closet. Any of her socks hair ties trinkets n shit she leaves around will get properly discarded.

Leave all that stuff at your moms house (where you belong), stored away in your room, etc. Do not leave your shit strewn about in common living areas or it will get placed in the garbage or goodwill.

I have 2 plastic/rubbery dicks in my bag. No idea how the second one got in here. I'm ready to leave them at the hotel because I don't want them.

Also got off of a phone call where I was not myself and a little too jaded with a customer with all he had to say. He wanted to raw dog it, make me wait 5 hours, and have mommy/child roleplay.................I'm sorry, it is 10 in the morning!!!! I thought this was a normal appointment not someone fucking weird.

Step-daughter's room has been a disaster since the last weekend they were here. My husband claimed he was going to go through it in the last 2 weeks - that didn't happen. When they came over this past weekend, he told her she needed to clean it before leaving yesterday. She didn't. I came home from work and it is worse than it was before. You literally cannot walk in there. I kinda went off on my husband about it. They were here all day until 6pm - at no point could he tell her or help her to clean her room? His response was that he "told" her to do it, and she closed the door, claiming that she was (she didn't, at all) but he "can't keep an eye on them all the time."

Meanwhile, he goes into a "rant" about how step-son "made" him play Fortnite for 3 hours yesterday, and he hates Fortnite. So, you can devote 3 straight hours to playing a game you don't even like to appease your son, but you can't spend 20 minutes making sure your daughter cleans her damn room? How about any sort of punishment for lying about saying she was cleaning her room when she obviously had no intention of doing so after closing the door? If he doesn't take care of it today, I'm going in tomorrow with a trash bag. I'm tired of the fact that these kids don't respect any of their stuff. She wouldn't even know what was missing if half of it disappeared. It's just about the accumulation of "stuff" to them - they don't actually care about any of it, otherwise, they would treat it better.

L’s kids don’t do chores but I’m helping them get themselves correct with proper home training by cleaning up after themselves

But I wanted to rage against L several times about something similar

I asked him to make sure his son dusted the floor before he left. L assured me he would but Do you think he did that? No because no one checked after him till it was too late he was already gone and I had been bamboozled.

Also

I cleaned L’s daughters sheets but did not put them on the bed just laid them in a pile on the bed hoping L or he could help his daughter would do it.

Then he said she came in and was pissed about her room.

Bruh you saw the sheets like that over the course of the week and did nothing, you invited them over without my consent so I couldn’t prepare for that if I wanted to —— but anyways, that’s y’all fucking job to put the sheets back on.

I wash, you put them back on the bed.

Ffs stop being so cotdamn lazy!

But yeah I agree with you Aurora. I would be like “look here little girl we can do this the easy way or the hard way….the choice is yours”……I’d would let her know in advance that when she comes back she will spend and hour cleaning the room before she gets to do anything fun (because she was supposed to clean it when she was asked). Like as soon as she sets foot in the door she will be cleaning that room or she can go to the time out corner while I clear it for her n take it to Goodwill. But that’s just me though I am a bit more old-school tough though lol

I hate when people bust out long board games at parties. A friend last-minute invited people, including me, to a restaurant/bar the other night for a birthday celebration. I almost went, but then they mentioned in a comment on the event page that they were wanting to play some tabletop game that would take several hours. Like... no thank you? I guess it's her birthday, she can do what she wants, but that's not really a "party-atmosphere" to me - especially when you're celebrating in a public place? I knew I couldn't stay long because I had work in the morning, so my plan was to stop by for about an hour, have A drink, chat a little, and leave. I couldn't do that in the midst of some long-ass board game.

Small, short games, or party-specific card games are great for gatherings, but anything more involved should pretty much be an invite-only with a specific group of people who are into that sort of thing type of deal. In my opinion. I ended up not going because of that.

I wouldn't have gone either for the same reason. I hate board games. And card games. I will do pictionary and I will do jigsaw puzzles and that's it. And I really gotta be in the mood for those.

Right? I think it's especially awkward when it's a bunch of people I don't know. I would go to see HER, talk to HER (and her husband, who is also my friend), catch up with them, and leave. If you really feel the need to play a game, make it a simple card party game like Cards Against Humanity that people can join or dip out of as they please. Or have the gathering at your house and set up Mario Kart or something. I don't want to play an hours-long tabletop campaign (where I'm learning the rules this very night) in a bar lol

That new OBS update...UGH!

I installed it, and then OBS started going crazy and was kicking me out of MFC and Stripchat. I had to log off for the night. Fucking ridiculous. I hope it's not like this tomorrow. This is surgery week for me, so Mon/Tues/Wed are the only nights I'll be camming.

Also, what's up with the emoticons/smilies on here? I kept trying to add the "bang head against the wall" emoji to this post, but the emoji wasn't working. It just kept giving me a spinning circle.

Is it just me or is their collectively more negativity now n days? I’m just curious. I’m a pretty positive person, but lately I feel like everyone is working out their shit on me. Am I just the cosmic janitor LOL. I’m no angel either, but shezus seems like people are so easily triggered by ANYTHING even if you have good intentions! I swear every person I’ve helped has shitted on me lately. I’m done helping people.


This lady ASKED for financial advice, and got mad at me for asking why she didn’t have income! You have to have income to pay off debt-it’s not rocket science. It was in a financial mastermind group for women too! Sorry bitch.

Seriously is it just me? If it is then tell me! I wanna know what I’m doing wrong. Or is this just how most people are now n days? People are stressed with this new era and aren’t coping well with all this stress?

It's the result of the Pandemic. I've been fortunate enough to have time to read most of what has been documented about the past 2 years and....yeah. A LOT of people are worse off because of the past two years. Not just from COVID, but the financial impact, the extra work needed to do just about anything, and frankly the depression-inducing reality of having one's mortality on the mind for a long time.

I've been self employed almost my entire life other than a few jobs so this is going to be an obstacle being told what to do. I'm a stubborn person. The longest I've lasted was a year at a job.

L having a simple medical procedure cost me 4 hours of my day ....

He was supposed to stay at home resting but instead he chose to drive all around then whatever meds they gave him hit and he said he feels nauseous and loopy......during the time he is supposed to get his son from school (yeah the school that refused bus service, Bertha failed to use her resources to arrange for him to get home DURING HER PARENTING TIME).......

Better call her bitch ass to come get her son from the school she signed him up for with no bus service.....Do NOT ask me to drive into the hood to pick up your son. Miss doesn't do hood school pickups. Plus I'm working to catch up from the work I missed today.

Let Bertha inconvenience herself for her decisions

Edit: thank heavens he didn’t ask me to do that cause that’s beyond my pay grade.

I will never be caretaker to a man after an outpatient procedure unless absolutely necessary ever again. They do NOT follow directions.

I did this for a male friend several years ago, and his 3 rules were 1) no driving, 2) no eating, and 3) no operating power tools. Of course the first he does when we get him home is insist on driving himself to the pharmacy to pick up his meds instead of having me drive. Then, getting takeout, because he claims "it's fine, I can keep it down." And then picked up a fucking power sander and said he was going to work on his cosplay-something or other that afternoon. Why was I even there to "watch over him" if he wasn't going to follow any directions? Of course, he made himself sick with the food.

I think I'm going to give up on the apple cider vinegar thing. It seems every time I take it, it makes me super nauseated. I've tried taking it with a bunch of water, with water and food, first thing in the morning, last thing at night. I've been experimenting for the last couple of weeks. Today was the worst of all. I've felt dizzy and sick since taking it around 10am.

You might try taking the apple cider vinegar gummies instead.

I find that i get rewarded most at work for being myself. You just have to find the right time and place to get those jokes in, offer your opinions, and always ask WHY someone is telling you to do something a certain way (so that you can understand and ask questions instead of feeling like you're being forced to obey). It's just a bit more finessed than the rules of sex work, but i think you'll go far by bringing your personality into your new job.

^Sounds like you lucked out at your job - however, Some managers do NOT like employees asking “why” and the expectation is to just do what is being requested (as long as it is part of the job of course)

Especially the entry level positions

They expect you to follow code and don’t like innovators

Sometimes you have to fall into their work culture, then once you move your way up into senior positions then you can express your uniqueness, be innovative, say no more without repercussions.

It really depends on the work culture and the manager that you work under.

Just my experience and why I’d rather work for myself because I’m more of an innovator, I don’t wait for someone to decide to hand me opportunities - I create them, I will ask “why” before I’m expected to do something especially if it seems inefficient or non related to my skills/background/degree/education, and I don’t like asking for permission, etc

But to each their own. Observe the culture of the place first to figure out what type of managers and colleagues you’ll be dealing with (or you’ll find write ups on your desk after you asked too many questions because there are some managers are that strict and some workplaces that are that toxic)

Anywho, best of wishes for you indie with your new career path and I’m sure you’ll land in a place that suits your personality and skills.

02-23-2022, 06:33 AM
I found this ^ this very much tb true, if I asked 'why'? on a job, I'd be told, "because we said so", "we always always do it that way", or "just do it".

I really really loved his work and didn't realize he had some chemical dependency issues that he succumbed to.....The biggest cliche in the music industry is the substance abuse issues that performers have..... Gahhhhh..

Is it just me or people are getting meaner and so God damn awful? By people I don't mean everybody, just in general.

People said a lot of it has to do with the pandemic but I don't think it's entirely true. The meanness has always been there in a lot of people.
The pandemic just fuels them to be so blatant about it. Pandemic shouldn't cause people to lose their decency.

This morning I was using Starbucks bathroom. Right when I locked the door, of course somebody gotta knock and pulled on the door a couple times.
Um... it's pretty obvious that when the door is locked, that means someone is using it. Wait for your turn! I was in there for 5 minutes or less. When I came out, I hold the door for this bitch.
She gave me the dirtiest look. So I asked her 'What's that ugly look for? I'm just being courteous by holding the door for you!'.

She then told me I'm being rude. So I told her 'do not gaslight me!'. She wiped the shitty look off her face right away. That was smart on her part.
Now mind you, I'm bipolar so my my mood was already making me extremely irritable and fragile at the same time this morning so I have zero tolerance for bullshit.

They say no good deed goes unpunished but fuck that. I'm not gonna let people decide how I wanna show up in the world.

I have to return the bottle of Neutrogena anti wrinkle serum to Amazon because the merchant sold me fake product! When I went to use it, it was all watery and the smell and consistency was that of some other cheap ass lotion! It was as if the merchant used up the bottle, then refilled it with some gross shit! Not cool!

Great that Amazon has wonderful return policy. They make it so easy.

Social media is a HUGE reason rudeness is ratcheted up. It's the classic double edged sword- it gives us shortcuts in life but it also disappears privacy and encourages certain types of people to spread negativity.

Lol totally agree. I think the most insulting thing is when I'm accidentally turning a corner too fast at the grocery store or wherever I'm at and someone tells me "Excuse YOU!" if I accidentally walk into them. Seriously, I would've apologized first but that's what accidents are....mistakes. First time I ever got the "excuse you!" was from some child when I was a kid going through the Burger King playground and accidentally fell on her climbing up. My bad, beech. I don't understand people sometimes.

I've been on this site and netflix all day relaxing at home.. I'm sorry if I've been annoying. :P *blushes*

Annoyed AF that I've gained back the weight I lost when I first moved to NY. I don't eat "healthy" so it'll be kinda hard to shed these pounds again unless I start walking more and not eating but once a day like I was doing. Pissed bc some of my clothes don't fit as good anymore.

I will never be caretaker to a man after an outpatient procedure unless absolutely necessary ever again. They do NOT follow directions.

I did this for a male friend several years ago, and his 3 rules were 1) no driving, 2) no eating, and 3) no operating power tools. Of course the first he does when we get him home is insist on driving himself to the pharmacy to pick up his meds instead of having me drive. Then, getting takeout, because he claims "it's fine, I can keep it down." And then picked up a fucking power sander and said he was going to work on his cosplay-something or other that afternoon. Why was I even there to "watch over him" if he wasn't going to follow any directions? Of course, he made himself sick with the food.

Women can be just as bad.
I picked my friend up from her boob job.
The Dr instructed her to stay home and not bounce around in her jeep, etc.
What's the first thing she does? Gets in her jeep and goes out.
When she got back, she complained about pain in her boobs.
Well? What do you want ME to do?
I had the house stocked with food, clean towels, sheets, etc.
I'm not taking you back to the Drs. You're on your own.

Russia has entered Ukraine, war has begun, this is a full scale invasion and civilians have died already. I haven't heard from my friend in Kiev yet.

It's sad.

However not surprising seeing as Vladimir Putin has had a hard on to annex the Ukraine for quite a long time.

I'm disappointed by the cost of childcare. A lot of daycares here want what equates to $24k-$32k a year in tuition. Who the heck could afford that? I guess I'm better off stuck at home making less than that myself until I'm healed enough to either go back to sw full-time or some crappy vanilla job to afford that. I'm tired of postpartum bleeding and flabby belly already. I just want to be back to normal.

Wendi, years ago my Mom was a babysitter, she lived in the neighborhood, she answered an ad, after that she was in demand, strictly by word of mouth.. I know you'd want to screen..they paid her by cash, she didn't charge a lot

Anyway, good luck dear!

Also, certain Blue needs to: give.it.a.rest!::)

I'm in the same boat. We pay about $30K a year for full time care for 2 kids. It sucks! We can't afford it, but we have no choice. We both HAVE to work and we both work from home. We need to make X amount and most jobs aren't paying enough, so I'm currently working 2 jobs and we're both insanely stressed. The only thing that could possibly pay well, without a college degree, is sales. But I am soooooo sick of sales. I haaaaaaate it! But I keep getting stuck in this industry. I'm either selling vanilla stuff or pussy.

Btw Congratulations on your new little one!!!

Have you considered live in care? Some older nannies will only charge about $13K a year. (Like, direct cash payments.)

Sales jobs can be exhausting for sure.

That's what I was saying.. My mom wasn't live in, but she was close, my dad or the kid's mom picked her up/drop her off, I recall she walked a couple of times as well.

Some may not have room or want a live in. I actually did this too, around the same time, we brought the kids together to play, she was in walking distance to where I watched a little girl.

All jobs are exhausting, I had an interview yesterday, being racked would have been more chill

Finally got it. :)
Puts the month above 3 k with the vanilla $ and dancing $ !
Seeing that invoice come paid in gave me a boost and I was like " lets get another one " before month end.
So I'll email a few more people some " book now and get this deal " thing.
I wish it wasn't pulling teeth ( it was a little ) but at least I am getting it done. :/


Whew.

Goddess help this day job customer just plod along and give me the $750 they were supposed to yesterday. :/
I really don't want to circle them and press it. Just make it easy for f$%k sakes.

I don't wait to do my " we have another inquiry in that time frame spiel " ....... but might have to.

People suck man.

My partners daughter had a voice lesson scheduled Tues.
The lady is like " oh it'll be 45 min. later " so J said no that day .
Ha. Touch of OCD from J.

^ So ..... she shows up today 35 minutes late today after her scheduled 5 p.m. time !
I just think it's so funny with some people. Want your money ? Show up on time for your client.
If it would it have been me arranging it I would told her to fuck off hahaha.

Have you heard from your friend?
I've been following this for a few weeks.
If anyone wants to watch a live stream, it's called AgendaFreeTV on YouTube.
I hope Taiwan isn't next, but I wouldn't doubt it.
So sad and frightening.

I don't even hate going to the dentist, but of course, I never write down or remember when I made my next appointment 6 whole months away. So, it's always a sneak attack on my phone when I get the text to confirm my appointment coming up in 3 days. Like, fuck, I already made plans. Now, I either have to cancel or reschedule the appointment, neither of which is appealing.

Speaking of dentists, does anyone here go to Aspen Dental? I want to switch dentists, Aspen is my most convenient option, buuuuut their Yelp reviews are terrible.

I'm straight up exasperated with this issue. But I need a couple crowns fixed and one root canal.

Petty annoyance of the day- a mountain of laundry to do. Blerghhhh

Well, my dentist said those chain places aren't great, which I've personally found to be true..
I found a great oral surgeon, do your research, pls!
I almost went to a bad Dr, 2 malpractice suits in process, + 4 additional ones in the practice!
I would go more in depth than Yelp..

Even my dentist, I read her a list of Dr's, she's like, "Oh that one's going to jail," etc.

I got the list from my dental insurance provider

I would not go to a cheap place. You will end up spending even more money to have their fuck ups fixed. It has happened to me a few times.
