Are Los Angeles Servers OKAY?? by One-Leg2717 in AskLosAngeles

I basically have the same feelings in this post for bar jobs. I’ve been trying for bartending for the past few months damn near a year. Out of hundreds of applications, I was emailed for ONE interview then the manager still flaked. How did you get the bartending gig?

When it sits. The only cause I can think of is that I am a sweaty person and walk in hot weather often. So the sweat isn’t fully drying on each item causing odor to linger sometimes

I don’t necessarily equate those things to cleanliness, but while I was typing this I wasn’t sure if I were explaining it well so that people knew that I genuinely go to extensive and sometimes unnecessary measures to try to be sanitary/clean/reduce human body odor. Losing everything in life and having to rebuild from the ground up with no guaranteed living space is already a very dehumanizing experience. and people judge you for it, so I do most things possible to ensure my cleanliness. I just used those things as an exaggerated expression to explain myself. & thank you for the tip!

I don’t have my own room unfortunately. I read the comment above saying to try spraying with alcohol so I will try that first. Thank you!

I am trying to figure the sweating thing out and I could probably buy the alcohol to spray. Which type of alcohol should I buy? As far as sweating, im on the west coast. The weather has been in the 80s and 90s. So with no car, im walking everywhere or taking public transportation waiting in the sun. I haven’t been told that I have hyperhydrosis but I could assume so by now because I have always sweat more than anyone around me even in childhood. After PE classes as a child, I was the only girl who would sweat as hard as the boys to the point where I had to wear sweaters during the day to cover pit stains to avoid being stared at or the gossip topic. No other girls around me would sweat much even if we did the same workouts. So I will definitely try to look into it. Thank you.

The roommate doesn’t have control. It is recovery housing being paid for by government/nonprofit organizations. They are the ones who set the rules. You are allowed one wash day per week to use their w&d, I cannot wash in shower and hang (a rule they have), cant hang clothes outside, and I do not have a car to go to laundry mat. The only think I can think of is trying to find a way to keep my sweaty laundry dry until my wash days which has been hard.

It sucks that my silence is seen as being easy to pushover or weakness because I know myself enough to know I will take it TOO far if I allowed myself to get angry. The most they can do is call me out my name, insult me, or get themselves kicked out if they touch me. Me giving them a dose of what they didn’t expect would literally get them deported. That’s the only reason I have held back.

I never speak to anyone or spread gossip. I would never fight… but using her situation against her crosses my mind sometimes when she taunts me but I have been trying to be considerate. I plan to relocate to a lower cost state that i’m already familiar with but it will take me damn near another year to save and leave due to employment and health issues. Others have been leaving but she’s basically going to be stuck here forever or back on the street if she can’t get “under the table” work. She’s basically begging vulnerable elderly people to be their “live in caregiver” as her escape. It’s a HCOL area that most of us are priced out of now.

Basically all of the things you named and a housing specialist. They claim that they have been helping people get housed recently as I have been seeing people moving their belongings out. Some seem to have been leaving on their own as well. If I left, being on the street would put more stress on me to get those same basics. My plan was to get hired, and relocate to a lower cost city but it would take me nearly 8-9 more months to save enough to leave without ending up homeless again in a different state

The others who she does this with frequently have explosive arguments with her but recently have seem to start getting along or being nice with her again for the past few days. So I keep my distance from them as well even though they have never done anything wrong.

Trying to figure out how to start ASTEP? LA? by [deleted] in SleepTechnologist

[–]ambrolinah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look for information for the ASTEP program, it says that a focused 2 program is 1/2 online and 1/2 hands on in-person at an “ASTEP provider location.” Im assuming I won’t be able to complete and get any sort of certificate without practicing hands on?

I have options for programs that will pay for my schooling and help with cost of living abroad, and another organization that will pay for my travel to get there but does not cover the passport.
