Boundaries and respect

In July, I'll have been in this house for a year. Though many have come and gone, I will feel a sense of accomplishment for surviving a year in dramaland. The new housemate does coke and has other strange behavior that could mean he has something mental going on. I recently expressed that I'm uncomfortable with a housemate on hard drugs, and the house manager agreed with me at first, but then turned around and decided to tell him not to do coke in the house anymore and that issue is ok. Some other behaviors, as well.

I'm looking for a new place to stay (again), but I already know that with my budget it's hard to find a place worth while, so I'm setting stricter boundaries with both of them. The house manger will not get away with ignoring my pronouns and identity anymore. The coke one is not allowed to contact me outside of text and note, because he feels like we should talk whenever he wants to talk whether or not I want to, and add he can talk for a long time. So now, he's only allowed to contact to me on platforms that are also document-able for future ref, if he shows more odd behavior. In-person is only for house meetings and phone calls are only for emergencies.

I dislike having to be this way, but it has to be done. Hopefully, I find an overall better place, but I'm conjuring up a back-up plan if I don't in due time.

Rejected the room

The people I wanted to move in had to reject the room, because the housemanager smokes indoors. That's the outward mark of this house being anti-cool people. I must not be as cool as I think I am for sitting with this shitshow for as long as I have.

The Sun and New Times Ahead!

It's finally SPRING and the sun is out sometimes, but we gotta make way for those April showers! I'm going to start a different department tomorrow, and start my weening out of cashiering. I have so much more talent and abilities to spend my time in an entry level position that doesn't get any respect for all the responsibility has!

I'm moving over to meat and seafood, and I'll be aiming to take on other positions after the store and take some shifts at the other location, as well. I'm also looking forward to moving out and camping, and Portland vacation! It's better to look at the positives over the negs. No more gloom!
