She could just have some internal rage going on for not exiting the way she wanted which has zero to do with you.
I just would hate to see her experienced trauma if she isn't really comfy in whatever branch of SW she is doing.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
She knows how unhappy and stressed that I was doing escort and massage work.
So what if it takes longer to make "hooker" money?
I'm safe in my home and don't have to let any creepy man in here. Nobody touches me, which I've had nightmares about.
She doesn't know that I was recently raped too.
She's had to adapt. She went from being a burlesque dancer/stripper to escorting because she got older.

She must also have guilt.
When her daughter was little, she'd see tricks right in front of her. That traumatized her so much that she ended up in a mental institution.
Her younger daughter became an escort too.
It's her stuff to deal with.
Not mine.

I need to hurry up & find a room somewhere soon bc smother will be back soon & I'm on nights now & my activities are limited bc his dumbass gets pissy with me for *existing* while he's trying to sleep *eyeroll*. You want me to work yet you bitch when I do bc it's not on your fuckin time clock. Ugh!

^^^I hope you find another place to stay.
Speaking of living arrangements.
I put in a maintenance order for my broken toilet handle and downed closet rod on July 26th, and never had the management address it.
I'm patient, but, c'mon.
I called the office today and the Secretary pulled up my order request in less than a minute.
She put me on hold for 5 minutes, and came back to say that the property manager was still on the other line and will call me right back.
She never did.
Typical.
I texted my neighbor and she said that she put in an order for maintenance 3 weeks ago that hasn't been addressed either.
All of our rents increased $100, for the 2nd time since they took ownership last year.
Okay.
I'm so tired of slumlords.
The last one I fought over this evicted me, so I've learned my lesson.
Biting my tongue is not my style.
But this is not the hill I'm going to die on.

^^^ I felt this is my spirit, soul, and in the pit of my ass. I have to call maintenance three times (every. fucking. time) to fix the most basic of stuff. The AC is always going out AND it’s making my light bill cost a fortune behind it - the ac has to work twice as hard to cool this small ass apartment which means I get billed twice as much. Literally, twice as much.
I’ve already decided to leave this unit EXACTLY how it is when it’s time for us to leave. They’re probably gonna think I smoked crack in this mf with how bad it is but that’s their fault, not mine.

Yeah, I was wondering if I should just say fuck it, and leave everything broken when I move out.
But, I'm sure if I do they will use it as an excuse to keep my deposit, even though I have a paper trail.
The a.c. issue, I feel for you.
The previous owner wouldn't replace my non working window a.c.
It was July and 110 degrees.
She told me to use a fan.
Huh? A fan in the desert blows around hot air.
I invited her over, and she passed out in my living room.
I got my new a.c. a day later.
Why does it have to come to that?
This is the 25th apt I've rented in my adult life.
Every landlord has been like this.

I don't blame you guys for splitting and leaving the place as is. Fuck them! I don't understand how it's legal for them to not fix anything yet keep deposits or raise rents?!? I'd document everything then if they tried anything I'd threaten them with court.
Speaking of not fixing anything, smother pulled something similar awhile back. The bathroom sink has a leak, it's an old building keep in mind, and so instead of fixing it she for bids anyone to use it and put these annoying signs in the sink and so we have to use the tub faucet to brush our teeth or whatever to use it as a sink which is such bullshit ,she's doing it out of spite. Talk about selfish!

Sick of selfish people honestly. I will help anyone and give good advice esp to my friends. People literally ask for help when they are in bad situations or depressed and I try to help them out.
Did this recently and my friend is living her best life due to my advice. All good. Friend is travelling in path of hurricane so I mention it. Next minute I'm blanked and she's posting online that people are negative!. I send her a msg about something on her story blanked!
So annoyed all I did is say hurricane passing where she is then this. I don't expect nothing when I help anyone apart from basic respect. This person was depressed until I have her ideas of how to improve her life . This isn't a person that ever offered me any advice. Sick of people like this . I'm not helping anyone anymore . The amount of people that I can talk to when depressed I can fit on half a hand.

I shouldn't be bothered by this bc I don't pay rent where I'm at right now. He found a statement with the rent amount on it after smother left & sure enough it's way lower than she has been claiming it is. Between him & his brother, they are literally paying her fuckin rent. She treats bf like shit & never seems to be there as a "mother". He said that she used to leave them a lot as kids, she was a very absent parent.
I know it's none of my business but I can't help but be highly annoyed at her for knowing that she's literally hustling her own kids to pay her way thru life. She's such a nasty person at that, like how is it fair that she gets a free ride?!? When bf shows any kind of independence from her or things that she has lied to him about and he finds out and does his own thing, it seems to anger her & she becomes a complete bitch to everyone in the home. When the cats were here months ago, she'd take it out on them by taking away their food & water at 7 pm and hide the damn bowls until the next day, knowing that it'd piss me off.

My splurge is a good tea with honey! That’s worth what the coffee shop charges mmmmmm!

If you're tired of me complaining about Wal-Mart grocery delivery scroll past this post. Lol
My delivery was over TWO hours late yesterday! This was the 2nd week in a row that they were running late.
When I called customer service they said that there was a shortage of drivers.
When they DID arrive, my frozen sausages were melted and the carton was crushed ( It's 105 degrees here).
My can of peaches was dented.
I called to complain, and told them that weeks of this and missing items have me thinking of dropping their services.
I told them not to offer me a $10 coupon, but to give me my next order free.
Nope. They said they can't do that.
Does anyone know of any other grocery delivery places?
Aldi does but I'm dreading using them if they rely on the same third party drivers.

I'm feeling really critical of myself and can't stop ruminating over every social interaction I've had.
In one of my classes, I was receiving feedback on something I turned in, and I couldn't understand the point someone was making so I asked for clarification. Later 2 classmates told me I was being defensive. I really don't want to get a reputation for being defensive, but I genuinely cannot figure out how to ask for clarification in a way that doesn't come across as being defensive. I try really hard to control my tone of voice and my body language to not let my frustration come through, but I'm not a stoic person and my emotions can be read on my face like a book, and my frustrating with myself for not comprehending a note might come across as disagreement. My gf told me that most people are conflict avoidant and afraid of looking stupid, and if people don't understand feedback they usually just pretend they do--so me asking for clarification at all, even if I had a perfectly unemotional/calm tone, would still come across as defensive to conflict-avoidant people and I should just pretend I understand and not ask for clarification. I really want to understand every piece of feedback so I can improve the most, but maybe that's just me being a perfectionist and I should just let it go and accept that I'm not going to understand everything.
Then, in another class, we were discussing the death of friends. I wasn't feeling emotional at all, so I thought I would be fine to talk about my best friend's death, then mid-sentence I suddenly started crying. If I thought I was going to cry I wouldn't have talked at all. So embarrassing, ugh. I paused, said "sorry I am getting emotional" and "I acknowledge how awkward this moment is, sorry" and then quickly wrapped up my point and shut up. Ugh. At least the professor admitted to getting misty eyed about his own loss too which made me feel a little better.
I have ruminated about these two experiences for at least 8 hours this week, mostly after waking up in the middle of the night. I hate anxiety so so so so much.

This is one of the things that has helped me:

and there are other good meditations over rumination and overthinking on youtube.
Plus, lots of self acceptance work, self love and IDGAF attitude. Well, I am in my forties though...took me a while to get to this happy point where I really dgaf anymore about what others think, BUT I still catch myself ruminating over things I've said. I just smile and move on now, though....who does not like it should just fork off, I am who I am and I only need people who like and accept me for who I am, not for a fake persona.

My pissy rant: I got a letter from the DMV telling me that my registration is going to be revoked for not having car insurance.
Stupid AAA never told me that they would do this when I put my car in storage mode.
I called AAA immediately to reinstate my insurance.
Sidenote: When I looked at the DMV letter, it had a link to where I could get low cost insurance (income based).
When my policy expires I'm DEFINITELY looking into that.
Just wanted to pass the info on in case anyone else feels like they are paying too much for insurance.

^^What is storage mode? I know there's a way to register non-moving vehicles or whatever which ends up being a lot cheaper and then I'd assume you'd be able to get a way cheaper type of insurance for it, if you are planning to not drive your car for a long time.

I feel like somebody is impersonating me using my information to take a policy out in my name so they can murder me and collect or something! I tried calling the latest insurance company who sent me a message but they're closed today. I don't know what to do about this. It's really bizarre.

It's basically considered non op and unfortunately that's how drivers get screwed over by dmv's these days by having to pay even non op fees per month even if the vehicle isn't operable. I considered putting mine in storage until I read that regardless I'd still end up having to pay something per month. It really sucks :(

It’s not legal to take insurance on someone without their consent.

This day job customer ..... just yuck.
They bought this bundle of services from us in Sept. and have a $400 deposit with the other $400 of it being due yesterday.
This $800 deposit from them was a 1/3 of my Sept. income so far . It has just been a spectacularly shitty month unless some other customer comes out of weeds and pay in the next few days.
So .... they start fussing as I'm out on the road with another customer ( driving 12 hours EACH way ) about changing the location of the job.
I'm trying to be supportive but I just can not figure out the vibe really from them . Long story short they are now wanting to cancel the services and can get a 90% refund on what they gave me ( it's fine as I didn't go out anywhere in person yet ). I had put flexible cancellation terms up so people would feel comfy moving forward. I might change it back to the more firm terms we used to have.
So for MULTIPLE phone calls and I'm not even sure how many emails I'll make $40 .
Sept. came out to be this giant issue over all.
Oddly I had made over 2k between Sept. 1-11 and the month started feeling " on a roll " to a great month.

Of course the info comes in as my partner and I are trying to check into a luxury hotel for 24 hours .
I hid it from him then this morning so I wouldn't botch yesterday and then I was like " ok I'll give you the update ".
I just said " I didn't want to ruin the trip but I just lost 1/3 of my LOW amount I made for the month and the stress might affect me today ".
I do have a feeling another person will buy soon ( they seems closer to ready now ) which I can put on the Sept. books. What a hard month!

Without fail we keep getting weirdos for downstairs neighbors.
The newest one is a trashy drunk woman - the middle aged, toy dog owning, Karen type. She bangs around and makes tons of noise, sucks up a parking spot with a non-functional scooter and is just generally unpleasant.
She let said dog escape one day (what idiot leaves their door wide open while moving furniture?) and didn't even say thank you when I returned him. Last night she was walking him, at night, wearing black, playing the Entitled Pedestrian game, and had the gall to flip me off for driving around the corner. I stopped because I was like "Did she really just do that?" and she fucking crouched down and shoved the finger at me even harder.
It is currently extremely windy outside and one of my Halloween decorations blew down. It was pretty heavy, so it shouldn't have, but it did. I went to grab it, and it's fuckin' gone. Bitch stole my sign. How petty can you get?
I'm done playing nice with these loonies. She's about to get a few noise complaints and a lot more unpleasant garbage "blowing" onto her patio and sidewalk.

My 2 year old coughed so hard earlier that she puked. In usual kid fashion she puked all over the bed and floor. I've called 4 times already for new sheets and more towels and the front desk person never sent any. I went down there to ask which is aggravating because I'm on the 4th floor. The elevator is slow and I brought my kids with me. They said they'd bring some but they still haven't. I'm feeling miserable as heck with this cold and seriously thinking that we might have covid. I also called for dishes and cooking ware for the kitchenette and they said they'd send them up but didn't do that either. I paid $711 for the week at this place but their service(lack thereof) is more like a damn Red Roof.

Ugh I went to that Indian grocery store again and that cashier was there, as soon as I went into an aisle, she comes right beside me in my personal space pretending to organize the shelf, then she looks at me and asks if I need help, I told her if I needed help I would have asked her and I like to shop in peace...She walked away a few seconds after that. I was a bit rude but she's the same one who commented on my order the last time I was there. At least this time she kept her mouth shut at the cash. Also I don't like feeling followed around at a store so I stocked up on what I needed so I won't go back for a long time

My friend halfway went through a nasty divorce last summer - even got me involved, writing an affidavit about his abusive behavior that I witnessed. Just to go back to him 2 weeks later (specifically texting me that it was because "she was an idiot") and start posting a bunch of "lovey" family crap on Facebook.
In July, almost exactly a year later, she told me she was filing again. Said she should've just gone through with it the first time.
Today, she's back to posting a bunch of "family photos" and making her profile picture involve him again....
Oh well... I guess people need to learn in their own time.
