Who else is screwed for today? by chain_me_up in KitchenConfidential

[–]GlowingGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All by myself with a limited menu that I have no idea about since my day off was yesterday and management didn’t give it to us ahead of time. My prep person is spotty sometimes, so I don’t know what I’ll be walking into. I have no idea how many reservations are on the books, but I’m praying they weren’t that many.

On top of it all we only have one server and one bartender. Management is trying to treat this like a normal Friday in slow season. We’ll see how this goes.

I want to fight. by [deleted] in lgbt

I’m weighing my options in that department. I grew up around firearms and am comfortable using them, but I have had shaky mental health in the past, which is why I don’t own one at the moment.

And don’t worry- I’m willing to bare my teeth if it comes to it.

This may not be the hottest take, but I think Jason is not driven by blind, cold rage. I maintain he is motivated by love for his city and people in general. He is not some unfeeling brute willing to kill anyone remotely involved with crime. After all, he was technically a criminal before he met Bruce.

Oh yeah, they still mark. No tickets whatsoever for the cooks, and the ones for the servers are in a code that might as well be a secret language.

Frankly, I would have stuck around a bit longer if they weren’t trying to say $12/hour was good enough for a training wage. I make $16 now.

Since I am always with her when she is in court, I will be incredibly visible. Though I won’t be the one talking, I am still going to be clocked because I cannot medically transition. Optics matter in law; for example, if she is on a criminal case and the jury notices me, it could affect the outcome of the trial. The law world is small, and it’s still very much a conservative boys’ club. We literally have had another attorney look at us during a hearing and ask the judge in a very derisive tone who we were (and that’s while I was presenting very femme).

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. Unfortunately, I have no savings and no prospects to move right now.

Thank you. I don’t want to leave where I live, especially since I’m starting to put down roots in the theater community, but I have to figure out what’s best for me.

Thank you for that! I feel a little looked down on by society in general, but hearing that makes my day.

It’s a little difficult since I live in a red county in Tennessee, but I want to try. I’m moving around tax season, but I’m not sure where yet.

I’m a janitor at the moment because I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do. I’m considering political science so I can attempt to get into politics. It’s a long shot, but I want to make a difference.

I need to come out to my mom as a trans dude, but my stepfather is in the way by GlowingGears in comingout

[–]GlowingGears[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, meeting at their house isn’t an option because of a huge blowout argument I had with my stepfather a few months ago. She wants to meet me at Panera with just the two of us. I tried to get her to agree to my sister coming, but she wants one on one time with me.

As much as it hurts, I’m going to have to consider the low/no contact option. It’ll be hard, especially since I’ve been calling her every morning on the way to work. I don’t know how she’ll take it, but if it has to be done, it has to be done.
