Yeah we just got back from visiting my work. My manager is super chill and understanding and I told her everything that's been going on and she said she would ask my coworker what's going on and then see if she needs to set up a meeting for us all to talk and work things out which I think would be great and awesome. So yeah I feel a lot better about it now

I'm taking a vacation at the end of the month. We are going up to Washington to see a concert and meet Sour! But Roses work is giving her a hard time bc she just had to fly out to Connecticut a couple weeks ago bc her grandfather passed away and it was really impromptu. We are also going to Orlando Florida in December with my family but her new manager says and I quote "I know you all want to go see your families but, you work and retail and people need their coffee" and I'm super angry about that. But Rose already got her plane ticket bc her old manager already approved for the time off and it's just stressing me out bc we never take vacations or ask for time off and the two trips(3 for her bc of the funeral) are just causing so much drama at her work and idk how to deal with it :/ That's good that you are able to take a vacation at the end of the month and then in December! That will be a good break from things! What concert are you going to? Ok that is really annoying! It obviously wasn't her fault that her grandfather passed away and honestly, the work should be understanding? It's not easy to lose family or anyone in general! Honestly, if she is always at work and does her time, what does it matter that she takes a little vacation? She should be able to get her vacation! If its already been approved too like they really can't take that away? That isn't right! I hope that things cool bc honestly, taking vacation shouldn't be stressful o: Also there's a bunch of stuff going on at MY work with this one coworker that used to be super chill but lately she's done nothing but snap at us and be super stressed at work and like I wanna help her but she's a shift supervisor and her snapping has already caused me to have a panic attack at work two weeks ago and her directly snapping at me has caused me to cry and just I don't deserve to be treated this way. She's also supposed to be training my other coworker on how to be a shift but is doing a really really bad job of it and talking about her behind her back and not showing her how to do things and I'm very angry at her for that bc my coworker deserves to be taught properly and neither of us deserve to be treated like her punching bag and I'm worried that the next time I work with her I'm going to go off on her. Like I care that she's going through a tough time, as a person and someone whos her friend. But as a coworker she needs to find a different way to handle her stress a work and not treat me as a therapist or a punching bag. Like I have my own problems and the other co-worker has her own problems and it's really not fair that we have to deal with all this bc of her and it's brought both of us to tears and I'm very very angry. And I've already talked to my store manager about her attitude but I need to talk to her again about the more recent stuff bc she's just been getting worse. That is so annoying! And you are right! You don't deserve to be treated that way! No one does and it is honestly super inappropriate and unprofessional to snap and yell at coworkers like that? Especially if she is a shift supervisor? She should know better. I mean ya, everyone goes though tough times and that's understandable but it still doesn't make it alright to take it out on others. Lol yeah we've been talking for ages and I'm super excited to meet him! I will tell him! I can't wait tbh Ahh!! Yay! I'm literally so happy for you! That is awesome

That is awesome Sorry I wasn't able to respond yesterday Yeah my gf is going to talk to her manager again and maybe see if she can just transfer. My manager is willing to take her at our store which would be super cool. and since I don't really plan to work for Starbucks for much longer should woulnd't have to step down or step down from a shift for long. It helps that my manager really really likes Rose since she's the one who hired her at her old store anyways xD Yeah I talked to my manager yesterday about it and I was told that she then talked to that coworker immediatly. She sounded like she was acting a little differently but it seemed fake and forced and it was really awkward. I stopped in tonight to see how things were doing and she seemed really awkward and stuff and I tried to be nice to her but it probably came off as forced bc I still feel upset with her for snapping at me. It's gonna be great!

It's all good!
That'll be good! Switch up the atmosphere a bit! That would be awesome if she could go to your store! Hopefully she can move there! Are you leaving starbucks for another job?
Aside from the awkwardness, at least she isn't being mean anymore? xD
Do you have any plans to do things together or just chilling?

-helpful bump- I'm happy this was bumped up. Happy news: I got a kitten Stressful news: Gotta find someone who can get him signed as an ESA because the counselor whom I've been going to for almost a year now can't do it because although she s certified I've been seeing her through the school and my school doesn't let the therapists sign them. And, like, I need the actual papers before my landlords find out I have him plus I've realized he's really helped with my anxiety and (oddly enough) my focus. Irritating news: The allies on campus say on their website that LGBTQA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bi,Trans, Queer and Allies. And I know some people think it is but it still bugs me asa someone who's Ace that is stated like that. Like even if its noted that the A stands for multiple things I'd be fine with that since it also stands for Aro and Agender too from what I've heard. But I know the person who's in charge so I might go and talk to her and see whats up with that. Hi!! It's been so long! Aww! Little kittens are so great<3 What did you name him? That does sound quite stressful! Best luck with it all! Hopefully everything can get worked out quickly! That's annoying that your therapist can't sign the papers herself! I'm glad that the kitten has helped you though! Little cuties like that have a way about them that just seems to make things a little more bearable! I can definetly see how that can be irritating! I would def see the person in charge- good that you know her too! I'm sure that she will be understanding! I hope that it can get fixed! Update: I've called twelve practices in my area and none can help me with my kitten and the lady emailed me back and said it was because they didn't want to leave out anyone who was closested and just says thei allies but?? Still? They're leaving out a group in the community even if they used the A in LGBTQA? So yeah. Also Dea, I'm happy you're gonna meet Sour but I'm sorry other things have been stressful

Wait are you serious? None can help you?? I feel like it shouldn't be that much trouble honestly? o: Ok I mean, I guess I can get what they are saying but I don't think that really justifies as much bc a lot of people I know at least are just allies, and are part of these clubs, so like even if you are closeted, people might assume you are just an ally anyway. It shouldn't be right to leave people out At my old school, our club was LGBTQA+ so it didn't really leave anyone out

We had the same issue with the A at my Pride Center at the college I used to go to. THey like had to say it was for Allies in order to make it feel inclusive to all so that someone didn't complain and get the center shut down.

Hey! That does sound like a hard job but it must be very rewarding! I hope that you coworkers stop creating those issues for you! If it is a job that you have to go to everyday and you have to deal with rude coworkers, it doesn't make the job very pleasant! You shouldn't have to go to work dreading it o: Have you talked to any higher ups regarding such? Oh goodness! I am sorry to hear about your fiance's grandfather! That is so terrible! It stinks that he isn't able to go up there for the funeral! I can't imagine how that must feel! I know how that can feel! When everyone around you has their life in order and knows what they are doing, it can definetly take a toll on our mental states because it makes us feel like we are going nowhere. Eventually though, you will get where you plan to, even if it takes a little longer than you had hoped! When your fiance is out of school, I'm sure things will fold out better for you guys! Don't give up! 14lbs is still a good amount and it is a start! And if you only started in June, that's only been a couple of months! It isn't always easy, especially when we don't see the results that we want right away, but I'm sure if you keep at it, you will continue to lose the weight! It does sound like you have a lot going on though! I hope for the best!!

I'm glad! It really can be hard but it definitely is important to be proud of where you are and happy with yourself! I experienced similar to what your mother went through because I just wanted to keep losing, keep losing and my mind kinda took over and I didn't really realize what I was doing but if I didn't keep up my habits, I felt so terrible about myself. It isn't an easy cycle to break out of. Going about it the way you are as well makes it easier to maintain it. If you go about it too fast or too radically so to say, it usually doesn't last long because it is too hard to keep up and you can end up hurting your body instead.

My dad had his 50th Birthday Party on Saturday which was a ton of fun and we all got super drunk xDDDDD Unfortunately Rose woke up the next morning to find that her 14 year old cousin, who had Cystic Fibrosis, had passed away . It really sucks bc she just lost her grandfather only a couple months ago.

Yeah I just feel bad bc I never really mean to just up and disappear for weeks at a time it just happens. It was a ton of fun seeing all the adults that I grew up around get super drunk and have a fun time. And actually my dad's birthday isn't till the 30th. The best part is that my brother had HIS 16th birthday party the next day so my dad had to drive like 5 13-16 year olds around on a boat with a really bad hangover XDDDDDDD
And yeah she went and spent the day with her brother and sister and took the day off work. She seems better now and I want to let her grieve so I'm giving her some space while also offering any support I can.
