I am so incredibly glad that I managed to have the courage to quit my part time job. I felt immense relief after calling and quitting. I know it sounds like nothing, but it is A LOT for me to be assertive and take action like that. I honestly couldn't take it anymore. A lot their bizarre rules had to be illegal anyhow. You were not allowed to wear glasses, so basically if I couldn't wear contacts for some reason or another I'd have to work as if I am legally blind? Freaking seriously, I can't see ANYTHING that way. That was just one of the many strange rules.
It's also not worth being humiliated just to make such a minuscule amount of extra money. The owner literally told me that shy people are useless and that I can't work there if I'm shy and to just "get over it". That is exactly why I quit, hearing that made me SO mad. Shy people are absolutely not useless. She also told me to fix my lips, fix my hair, and that I looked like I was on drugs. On top of that the other girl I was working with multiple times told me I had this weird awkward nervous vibe that made people uncomfortable and that I was getting special treatment for not having been fired by that time. I wanted to punch her in the face, how incredibly rude and insulting. I don't care how true that is, how can you say that to someone? She was bullying me all the hours I was there, and it was not just that. I don't appreciate being treated like some idiot clueless child.
I'm sooooo glad I quit but now I have to find another job. The bullying and insults at another job can't possibly be as bad as this one was though. I just have to remember that. *sigh*.
^Glad to read you have quite that job, Psych. It definitely does not sound anywhere near worth the horrible way you were treated there. Good on you for finding the strength to quit. Good luck with your next job you find, I am crossing my fingers you have a more considerate boss in the next one.
Someone I don't know (who also does not appear to be a spam dispenser) added me on Skype a couple hours ago. Who is this person, how did they get my Skype name, and why add me? :thinking: Probably not worth my time to wonder about it, but I will anyway.
I've been trying to follow along with harmonica lessons on Youtube so I can practice playing the harmonica my dad gave me when I was younger. I suck at it so far, but its a pretty fun distraction for me so I think I'll keep at it when I'm in the mood for it.

Yep speaking up for oneself in such a situation takes a lot of courage. Well done psych. I hope you have better luck in finding another job.
I finally have a hairdresser at a particular salon "trained" to just leave me alone and not talk to me or ask me questions while she cuts my hair. :perfect:
Thank god I finally found one that "gets it" and is not snobby towards me because of it. They are hard to find!

The woman who cuts my hair does 90% of the talking but she screams right in my ear.
Why does she have to be so loud?!?!
It's like every other time I'm in public, everyone I pass by acts like they own the place, yet at the same time, act like they have no clue where they are.
I know! I couldn't help it. The ignorance was overpowering.:kickingmyself:
They'll reel you in alright. I'm a sucker for it too.
But ultimately trying to shoot some wisdom into YouTube is like wiping down a stain from a Crap Volcano; A valiant effort, but short lived and basically pointless.

That's good that you found a hairdresser that meets your needs socially and hairily (not even a word, haha), but I would be very uncomfortable not talking to my hairdresser, personally.
