Tuesday

Whew, I think we're all tired of everything, b/c no Tuesday post yet?

I don't even really have anything to say.  Work is still a shit show.  I had a discussion with my manager that the workload of workarounds is becoming unsustainable.  And while I understand that we have 5 hours of overtime at our discretion, I don't really want to work overtime.  I'm going to b/c I want to do my job well and not be behind, but overtime isn't an actual solution to the problem.  She completely understood and will take it to the higher ups, but she was like, I genuinely don't think they understand the workload they're creating.  There's also not really a solution that I know of.

Mostly SSDD.  I keep wanting to leave the house, but it's so hot!  Also, I spiraled yesterday and was like, IDK why I'm trying so hard to be healthy, b/c it's pretty much looking like the country is on fire and I'll be in the income bracket going down.  So yeah, I probably need to find some support.

Yeah, everything is so bleak right now. But keep your head up, because health is important! 

Good help is so hard to find. I thought I had booked a cleaning service and she was going to come today. I thought I was texting her directly, but when I went to confirm her appt last week it said the recipient was no longer getting messages. Meaning I was texting her through the homeaglow app and she doesn’t work there anymore.
i mean, I CAN clean my place just as well, and save $, but my tub was done so well with her, lol. Maybe she thought the 2.5 hrs I booked her for wasn’t worth her time? Heck, I don’t even need her for 2.  My house is smaaaaall and these aren’t deep cleans.

Also I guess word is getting out to men that the “are we dating the same guy” fb group exists and FB is slowly shutting them down city by city. For slandering. Some girls are breaking girl code! My area has one left open but it’s not the main one everyone knew. There’s an app everyone is saying to download but I find it has waaaaay less members and not as fast paced or helpful as the fb group. Plus the app is on overload and glitchy. This is bad for women dating out there for all ages. We alert each other on bad men, sure. But also domestic violence cases, if men are going around with STD’s, etc. it’s a good community with support.  I get a lot of life and love and dating advice from it! We’re just very supportive in most cases.

I am feeling pretty discouraged today. Drove past an ICE raid of an unhoused encampment and there was even a sniper on the bridge above because you know that established encampment was obviously MS-13. I’m just so heartbroken over the state of everything and I feel nauseous seeing this militarized state. And then I got to work and more patients are feeling empowered to bully my fellow providers who are POC and honestly I just want to scream. 

Anyways, SSDD here. I made some progress with the semi feral kitten we caught and fixed to TNR. He doesn’t really hiss at me any more and I even got him to purr and play a little. We obviously can’t keep him but if we can find him a home I’m pretty sure he’s salvageable. He’s for sure related to our indoor girl and we joked that it’s in their family line to complain but be chill about it because overall he’s pretty mild mannered just like her.

The group for my city actually led to someone who was cheering on his wife and harassing people at his gym- fired by our company. He was harassing people at gyms who were our clients and his behavior was deemed to be inconsistent with our values and he was terminated. 

I’m so sorry @levioosa- it’s all too much.

Super busy day yesterday, I don't think I had a moment to stop. 
I'm glad that a group like that exists @CharmedPam. I mean, I hate that it has to.  But glad ladies are sticking together.
Ugh it's heartbreaking @levioosa.  My siblings and I each personally know someone who's been detained, and each of my kids have friends who are feeling stressed about family members.  Of all of the messed up parts about the T***p admin, ICE is definitely breaking our hearts is a huge way.  Disgusting and so, so wrong.

@charlotte989875 was he trying to go after clients while they were working out??   I'm trying to follow the logic of running after people while they're trying to be in their workout zone.   Was he one of your team members or is it cascading through the company watercooler talks? 

The ICE issues continue to be so problematic and I've been distancing myself from people who have been supporting this administration.

The gyms themselves were the clients but he was a SVP so people knew he worked for us, but he’s not in a sales role (HR ironically). He wasn’t a team member thankfully but I worked with him a lot ointment my old role, he also worked closely with a lot of new employees so there was concern about how he was interacting with them. But yah he was like hitting on people, not leaving them alone after they would decline going out with him, being super creepy with women.

*hugs* @ei34. Every day I wake up and think, “oh we’re in the bad place.”
