You know, all this stuff about Kroger brought back memories for me. When I was growing up, there was a Kroger (and probably still is) in a little city nearby where I lived. I used to play the arcade games there while my mother shopped. Next to it was a Kmart. I really liked that place. Anyway, one day, when I was sitting in the van with my mom outside of either Kroger or Kmart, she pointed to a young man who was walking on the path that leads to one of the doors on the side of the building. She said, ‘See that guy?’ I looked and saw that the guy was wearing feminine looking coat and holding a cigarette in his left hand in a feminine manner. His entire mannerism was like that. My mom then said, ‘He’s a homosexual. Do you know how I can tell? He’s wearing a coat meant for a woman and he’s holding his cigarette the way that a woman would.’ Interestingly, my mom’s tone was very neutral and she did not give the slightest indication of hatred. When I was 18 or 19, I went to an interview to work at that particular Kroger. I wasn’t hired.

They probably overheard your mom and were offended. Lol. At least half of the guys at the store I'm at are gay or bi, and there's always multiple trans people working there, too. A few lesbians are sprinkled about, as well.

I just realized that in the way that I wrote my previous post, I sound like I suspected that I wasn’t hired due to my mom. Lol. That was not the case though.

Well, nevermind being relieved about things. Even though my property manager told me I was in the clear with the rent on Wednesday, the housing coordinator came over today to to tell me I still owe $436! Wtf! The housing authority messed up somewhere! And he just got the paperwork from the property manager to show me, so it's not outdated info. Now I'm supposed to call the property manager to discuss a payment plan. Um, there isn't going to be one for the time being!

And the hiring manager from Kroger never got back to me! I tried calling the customer service desk so they can transfer me to her but of course no one is there to answer the phone!

I'm never stepping foot in a Kroger store again. They will not see a penny more from me. I'm going to cut up my loyalty card and throw it away, delete the app, etc. They have disrespected me for the last time. I at least deserved a call, after putting up with years of abuse from them. I'm going to encourage everyone not to shop there, either. They can go right to hell.

I pretty much give up right now, and I don't want to hear any positive encouraging crap right now. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, because I just get knocked right back down. Things are **** and they only keep getting worse. I do not have the energy to start yet again with another therapist, so I'm thinking I'm done with therapy at the moment. There's no point trying with Southeast, either, since I basically don't exist to them. I should just sell my crap, put the cat in a carrier and get a Greyhound out of this hellhole. (Oh, but I'm on probation so I have to clear it with Daddy Governent before I can leave, because I have no control over my life and the universe doesn't want to let me.) None of my plans work out, so what's the point in continuing to try. Theres always the other thing I can do, too, and there's no reason for me not to view it as a possible option. Life sure ain't giving me a reason to stick around. But, at least the court got its wish to stop funding therapy for me. Good for them. I'm so happy for them.

I don't know what to do anymore. I feel betrayed and abandoned. I have no one. My therapist was the only person I could speak to on a regular basis. I don't physically interact with people and am extremely isolated. I keep crying out for companionship but no one here is listening. I'm going to snap. I'm not part of human society.

Riiiide the wave man. It will hopefully subside eventually.

I know the alternative can be pressing on the mind. I have no encouraging words but I will say sympathize/empathize with your words.

Who knows what lies beyond the great veil? Best take our time to find out. I once hitchhiked out of town to cool off and clear my head. Sometimes something drastic is needed to shake things up and find that zen.

You say 2 posts above that you are on probation so I don’t want to encourage you to break it, but think outside the box. If you gotta wander around homeless, well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s what you gotta do. I miss that life but my family bids me to stay put to my dismay.

Oh, how I wish I could leave here and go anywhere else. I don't know how to make that happen, though. I'm just stuck in every way here. The only thing I seem to have any control over is this high school diploma program I'm in. It's the only positive thing I have going for me. Everything else is ****.

I might as well not bother to go to the damn plasma place anymore. I wasted almost 3 hours there just now. Of course I had to do a retake, so I went and waited for the nurse to do it but they just ignored me and I waited over an hour before I gave in and got back into the general line. Well, the ****ing system automatically deferred me for waiting too long! I was waiting for a certain nurse to do it because she's more accurate. She even told me to come to her when she's there and I need a retake. She just ignored me! So much for thinking she was a nice person!

So I had to listen to them try to lecture me about not waiting too long. **** them. I have horrible anxiety and that dump makes it worse. I have to put up with them laughing because I'm not comfortable saying my name and just general rudeness. I think the supervisor felt bad and so he put $20 on my card. But that's all I have.

I'd rather just starve than go back. That $20 is all I have now. Nothing I do works out at all! I want to die!

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Yes. I don't understand what their thinking is. My PO hasn't said what their reasoning is, and my therapist doesn't get it, either. His understanding is that the service continues until it's decided it's not needed anymore. Regardless, I'm still going to my therapist. We'll see what happens.

Me, too! I really want another dog soon! The cat needs a new friend, as well. My cat is driving me crazy with her constant need for attention. Then after I start working, she's going to be bored as hell by herself for hours. I told her she better figure out a way to entertain herself while I'm gone. That'll end up biting me in the butt and I'll come home to everything torn to shreds. Lol.
I had to replace not one but TWO sofas and reupholster two chairs when my cats got ahold of them!

I don't like her tearing up the couch I sit on. I gave her this old loveseat I got from the free store to tear up all she wants. Oh, well. She does what she wants.
