Canvassing

Tonight, I must comes to terms with the fact I may not get hired at this job, as my "training" period comes to an end.  I must accept that it is not the end of the world.

Every day I go outside between 11:45 and 12 and wait for a bus that takes me to a streetcar that takes me to another streetcar.  And then an hour and a half later I arrive at work.  We do pretend "raps" in which we playact as fundraiser & door opener and then go to a shitty lunch drop for half an hour.  Then we knock on doors for 4 and a 1/2 hours while people berate, mock & ignore us.  Then we drive back to the office and fill out paperwork until 10.  Then I wait for a streetcar and then another streetcar and then a bus.  I arrive home at midnight.

They're a lovely organization, but it's the money I'll miss.  Wish me luck on (probably) my last day tomorrow interwebs!

Dear boys & girls

If you agree to go on first date with someone and they can convince you they only want to go back to your place so you can snuggle, and then, once in your room, they try to guilt trip you into a blow job, do not allow yourself into being pressured into doing something you don't feel comfortable doing with someone you barely know who earlier on in your first date told you he wants to seriously date you for a long, long time even though you just met. And then if you somehow do allow this to happen, do not let him manipulate you into not "breaking up" only to have him finally accept it and want to hang out every day until 1 am while he insults you and your poor roommate who seriously just got home from a looong day at work and only wants to sit and watch a little tv before passing out. Don't do this. Instead, realise he is a creeper at the first sign and do not let him into your life. Or your poor roommate's life. You are only giving him positive reinforcement if you don't and them he will go through life all the rest of his days, never realising what a fucking douchebag, piece of shit he is.

 PS this is how abusive relationships start
