Happy mother's day to all the poor souls married to the shitty men I saw at Giant buying cards and flowers at 2pm.

(Sorry sis, I know you hate compliments!)
I don’t hate them, and I appreciate the kind words. But there are things about me not to be admired, as well, and if I get complacent with soaking in the ‘attagirls’ for things which are, I may lose focus and not put the effort I need to into working on the things which aren’t.
And I’d like to wish a happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers on the forum. And I’ll do it with a special dedication which I’ve actually wanted to do for a couple years, but I’d always missed the date. Enjoy :)

Procrastination got us. It should be $300-$340 for each flight and it was $600 per ticket.
Ugh I just hate over paying and feel like a dumb ass.
I'm concerned over my friend's bachelorette party in a few months. She wants to go to Vegas, which is cool, but she keeps being stubborn about the flights, and insisting that $300-400 is "insane" and keeps waiting for a price deal where she can pay like $90.... I don't think she understands that prices aren't going to be like that barely post-pandemic. I don't want to book until she does, because what am I gonna do if she backs out last minute because she decides it's too expensive? But I'm worried she's going to wait too long, and the prices will go up even further.

^Right, plus inflation on gas. Flights that normally cost $300 cost $1100 right now. She might get lucky, but unlikely.

^ I ended up getting obsessed and searched a month ahead and it was $420 so I guess about 30% over what I’d expect even without our procrastination.

I had such a spectacular day with my partner yesterday.
I told him I was cooking at 5:15 .
At that time he emerged from his office and found me in a lingerie set.
We moved the dinner to 6:15 . :)
Ha. We had some food and then got up to more fun after dinner haha.
But then today ..... whomp whomp .
I guess this is passable but barely.
I think I've talked about my firm boundary that his ex doesn't come in the house to drop daughters things off when one of us isn't here.
I'm only ok with a " one minute " pick up or drop also .... no lingering.
He confirmed a 2-3 p.m. drop off for his daughters things .
I'll be working upstairs BUT he confirmed the drop BEFORE he checked with me to make sure I was here.
He is here 99% of the time ha but this one day he was out in that time frame.
Maybe he just assumed since I am here working 99% of the time in that range I'd be here.

Would you be able to stop him from coming back if he chooses to do so? Is the lease under his name?

If he is on the lease, I don't know that you can just change the locks to keep him out.
A restraining order might work better - but I don't know if his verbal abuse rose to the point where one would be granted.
Might be a good time to find a place to move where he has no right of entry.

* Maybe * not legally but with proof of him “ leaving “ even a text I think you’d be pretty safe ( obviously check own laws in your state if worried ). I would personally do it just to have that feeling of knowing he can’t just wander in anymore.

What I learn in therapy is to be assertive without being aggressive because I have the tendency to just go off. I still do it when it's justified but not as much.
I'm not pissed but I want to say something. This morning I was at Walmart, there always gotta be cunts following me around the store just to announce that I am a 'man'. Mind you they never say it to my face but it's in the air. They always whisper loud enough so I can hear it, I call that poking the bear. Few reasons why they do it. It's because they hate that I'm beautiful, they want to let people know so I don't fool anyone or trick straight men. It's a fucked up compliment because people can't tell I'm Trans just by looking at me, not that I'm trying to hide it. If I looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger with a wig then they wouldn't feel the need to call me out to let me know I'm not getting away with it.
So I smiled and calmly told them I'm sorry y'all don't feel beautiful and how miserable you cunts have to be by following me around the store just to tell people that I'm a 'man'.
It's a real joy watching how quickly they vamoosed. Flipping the script on bullies throw them off and I highly enjoy it.
Now mind you, not all cisgender/biological women are like this. I've met some really wonderful ones. The girl at the door checked my receipt and told me she loves my makeup and how beautiful I am and I should model. Neither does she knows I'm a NUDE model, lmao.
I've drawn a line in the sand long ago, I am respectful to those who are respectful. People who are mean, hateful and try to bully me, I give it right back.

I rarely use it, but I went back over all my Twitter posts and, quite frankly, it's my most hilarious form of social media. Maybe the brevity makes me punchier and funnier. I had myself rolling. But only 2 of my friends follow me on there. Everyone's missing out lol

It's very hot today. I'm wearing a sports bra and shorts. I'd totally wear it outside to take the kids for a walk but it would probably attract too many men.

* NO QUOTING PLEASE .... happy news *
I think I mentioned on here about a "reach" of an idea that J had.
It wouldn't be on my radar at all without his input.
Basically I work as a project manager for my day job and J was telling me that if I transferred those skills to a TECH company he thought I'd have a chance of making significantly more. That isn't my actual job " title " but it's VERY close.
I brushed up my resume to look more techy ( slightly elaborated the tech element of what I do currently ).
I thought .... it couldn't hurt to put feelers out there. I do feel pretty confident my skills could transfer.
Yesterday I got a call for an interview.
This morning I did the interview.
I'll be moving to a 2nd interview soon. :)
I've *clung* to my day job I think at times when I have known it was under earning ( not where I was hoping to be ) because it is 90% remote. If I could identify another one to try to nab that is also 80-90% remote I think it's worth trying for !

Love it. Were you cooking in lingerie? I've been planning to do this since bf and i moved in together, I've only done it once bc we have a big ass window and now in our own house I've yet to order a damn blind lol. But srsly I need to spice things up!
carmen_b
05-12-2022, 01:16 PM
^ Well once I was in the lingerie he didn't want dinner.
We had other things to do. :)
Actually how it went down was that I know he loves oral so instead of the food right at 5 I offered to " treat him " and then have dinner after. He was thrilled. We ate and THEN went upstairs for some mutual activities haha. Like I said .... it was a VERY good day. :)
Get the blind ordered OR just place something big by the window outside hahaha.
OR make your neighbors week haha.

They torment me. My supervisor was off today, so our shift lead was our shift supervisor and he decided to pair me up with the intern from the back half, so I had to be nice to her. And the first thing he had us pull in was a boom lift… not the big one I terrorized my coworker with before offering him a sandwich, but this one will still go about 90 feet up. But we were told not to fuck with the interns “too badly”, and “no lifts” was explicitly stated. So as we’re pulling in, I see my shop lead standing by a door with this big smirk on his face, because he knew what I wanted to do and my frustration that I couldn’t do it.

So I saw the crushie's brother, he came by my door (just called out not going up to the door, so polite)
I told him give me a few (was going into a show)::)
I went outside, he was smoking, he asked me about the water (it's well:yuck:) & if there was poison oak? (we're in a wooded lot)
He was saying he does not like people (me either) & it's hard to be in a house like this, w/so many, (it's 7 ppl in 5 bd room) 2 couples:yikes:
He was saying he's from AZ & he pays much less for a mortgage, I jokingly asked does he want a roommate.. He said, "well my wife's selling :-knew He's married (ring) was kidding now I'm embarrassed :-[
Kill me now eesh:(.

Sometimes I behave myself. To be honest, I’m actually glad I didn’t. Kinda feeling for this girl. Had a kid at 16, that really put a damper on her ambitions. BD sounds like he isn’t worth a fuck (huge surprise, right?). Seems like she could use a little time for herself, so I thought about inviting her for a girl’s night out tomorrow, or maybe let her hang out with my sister and S so she can spend time with people her own age and my friend from the community and I could just lounge at my house and watch the kiddos. That would probably be preferable to her over hanging out with an old lady. Or maybe just have a get together here. I don’t know.

Well, I kinda HAVE to be nice to her. I caught some static from my lead yesterday after I objected to being placed with an intern, and he told me, “You’re a Tech 4, you’re making lead pay, you need to be able and willing to mentor others”, told me I’m a top notch tech but said I’m a brat about working with new people, and really drove that point home when he said, “Grizz would be really disappointed with you”. And be told me, “You WILL make her comfortable working with you”. He knew about the incident where I played along with m my coworkers telling them I’m bipolar, and both of the interns had been really apprehensive around me since.

I have it too, and you're right, it does get worse with age.
It's the main reason why I moved out of the cities that I was living in.
The irony is that my current noisy neighbors make it seem like I'm still in the city.
I could cry. Scream. Or both.
I always have visions of what it must be like to live in a remote area with zero humans around.
Just my luck, the nature sounds would probably piss me off.
There are these birds who chirp all night that make me rage.

I'm so ready to just take my kids and relocate to another state but I have no idea where. Probably everywhere has overpriced rent like in my home state. I don't get how everywhere decent here wants $1000+ for a little 2 bedroom apartment. Even one that I lived in that was once $745 jacked up their rent to $1100. They don't even have a washer and dryer. They had a ghetto community laundry room that always had like 2 working washers and dryers and a pool that was never open.

Ukraine just won the eurovision song contest, they got a huge part of the public vote. It was kind of expected, not necessarily because it was the best song but because of the current situation.
I didn't even watch eurovision, but I knew Ukraine would win. It's normal and expected, a little joy considering the shit they go trough, altough, it's the last thing they care about now. There are tons of women in my city, refugees of the war. It breaks my heart when I put myself in their shoes, because they are normal people, like me. With normal lives, homes and routines, living a modern life. Everything being taken away, knowing the house has been destroyed, having to go in a country that has a different language, having to find shelter, food, a job, all while taking care of their kids as alone women, because their husbands are not allowed to leave the country and in top of that, receiving news about relatives dead or raped, is exhausting mentally. In 2022. In fucking 2022, to be forcefully ripped away from your home, your life, your identity...

Wendi, I've considered Iowa, there rents seem to be more reasonable, & the jobs pay about the same as where I am now, at least vanilla or wah home jobs to supplement my camming.
Good luck
