The guy who heard me say I may be trans jumped me outside of a bar, with two other people, one of them hit me with a bottle in the face. They broke me glasses. Honestly, that's the part I'm most angry about.

That's fucking horrible. Are you okay?

[Lurker13]

That's pretty fucked up.

So's this ( warning: it's very graphic/cop shoots chihuahua, cop gets fired):

What a trigger-happy psycho. He just wanted to kill something (or someone). As if he was actually scared of a 5 lbs chihuahua. I'm glad he lost his job, he doesn't have any business being a cop.

There's cuts around my eye and a broken orbit, a boxer's break in my right hand, a concussion, and my knee hurts from where someone kicked me, but I gave better than I got (edit: such a weird thing to get dysphoric over but here we are). I feel like shit, and I'm honestly still recovering from the concussion (tripping over words, disorientation, and such), but I got good people around me, and I'll be sad to leave them at the end of the month. This biker club I know even started a pool to help me get my car back because I couldn't afford to get it out of the shop with the hospital bills

[popvulture]

Ugh. That really fucking sucks but I'm glad you're ok. We live in garbage times chock full of emboldened garbage behavior.

[Jero]

To Trace (and the poor dogs/their owners from the separate shootings), that shit makes me sick and I'm sorry that happened. There's no excuse. I hope you feel better soon, and that someone catches the assholes that did that.

In the case of the service dog...I feel, as a person who lives in TX (and owns fire arms), I should note we are not all like that I promise.

Mild irritation: I missed out on Bikini Kill tickets this morning and I am crushed.

I'm irritated they are playing anywhere near Olympia....

You know what?

That cop is also a K9 officer. So he can handle a trained German Shepherd, but a stressed out 8 pound Chihuahua barking at him is ripe for lethal force....

Shit like this makes me fucking sick.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, it was definitely just a power play. the dog was only barking.

[Achtane]

Brown things appear more threatening than they actually are to an armed officer.

[TraceItalian]

I might have to sell my jcm and dominion cab to get my car out of the shop and stay in my moving budget. Ain't fun

[BitchPudding]

Picked up my first car from my parents. Should be good news right?

Well, my dad took the opportunity once everyone wasn't paying attention to tell me to my face he doesn't approve of me having a car without a license (even tho he knows that I'm currently working towards getting one) and said that if I got caught it would "screw up me and *S/O's name* for the rest of our lives".

I can get he was probably concerned, but his tone was VERY fucking hostile, as fucking usual. It was like he was talking to a misbehaving 5 year old.

I ended up crying the whole drive back home. I don't even want the car anymore. It would be much more appealing to me to sell the damn thing and get a Science amp or something.

My mom texted me later after she found out what he said and said she did not approve of what he said, that it was her car technically and she just wanted it gone. She said she thinks he has Mild Cognitive Impairment, which eventually leads to Dementia (which my grandma has).

Thats fine, but it doesn't make it ok. If anything its made me reconsider even fucking bothering to make things ok between us. I feel like at this point I'm not ready. I would just end up kicking his ass which doesn't help anyone.

So I dunno what to do. At this point, I'm gonna see what condition the car is in and if its junk, I'm selling it for gear.

As for the dementia thing, all I know is if I ever end up with that shit, I'm finding the nearest state that allows assisted suicide and taking the plunge. Better that than become a shell of what I was.

That's super shitty. Maybe he's just being concerned and has a crappy way of showing it? Regardless, and maybe this is just the southern manners I've had hammered into my skull since forever, it may help smooth things over to get the green light for the sale from your mom first. IME it does not go well when I flip a huge gift like that from my parents.

In other news, I got word from my boss that I have to fire my first employee at the end of the week. We constantly have to go back and redo his work (if he even meets his deadlines), he confuses the hell out of clients by overcomplicating everything, and questions literally every word anyone says to the point that project leads don't want to bring him on and other employees will pass on projects if they have to work with him. Shitty thing is he came out of retirement a year ago because his wife was diagnosed with <insert extremely bad disease here> and he's insanely smart and polite, but he just isn't cut out for this line of work and it shows. I tried getting him moved to R&D or another research post with little interaction but the brass didn't budge. I've never fired anyone before - been on the receiving end, though - so I have no idea how to do this, especially to someone who came back to work for selfless reasons.

[Benn Roe]

Can you fire him earlier, or wait until Monday? "Never fire someone on a Friday" is firing 101. If he takes it hard, support services are less likely to be available on weekends, and he's more likely to be able to get a jump on looking for another job without wallowing if fired early in the week. I don't envy you. I hate firing people.
