Thanks for this link, Azurite. It's helpful to know I was wrongfully denied Unemployment:
To NOT receive unemployment, an employee must have been fired for "gross misconduct." An employee fired for negligence, poor performance, or mild misbehavior should be awarded benefits. The EDD, not the employer, determines if an employee's conduct constituted or "sunk" to the level of "gross misconduct."
Generally, "gross misconduct" means a...

Can you believe I was DENIED UNEMPLOYMENT?! I didn't think that happened in CA unless you sprayed pigs 'n bitches on the office wall in toxic paint.
Of course I'm going to appeal, but this is fucking RIDICULOUS! WTF? Do they deny most applicants the first time, or did the person who "represented me" at my old job make me look like I committed intentional...

I was loking at my journal entry and it says...
Thorns are beautiful...
Thoras are beautiful... too....
Yes my mind actually did that, yikes where is the cheeze whizz....
Well linguistic deconstruction is my game...but that will probably not be going into a poem anytime soon.
Take care...may life give you all the best...thinking of you.

So what, is it Unemployment's JOB to make it look like you're bullshitting them in the phone interview, or is it your ex-job's job to make you look like an asshole?

Kill the ex. Or I will kill him for you. I will not have men making beautiful girls feel like crap. I'm going to start burning my bra and running to a feminist camp if this keeps happening!
Though it's not nice try and enjoy unemployment. If they think your bullshitting, so what, try another job. Time has a wonderful way of sorting everything out.

Isis (see the pointy little cat in my candids) has to go back to the vet tomorrow. She has feliine herpes, an upper respiratory illness, and she usually responds well to lysine, but it's quite a task to get it in her mouth and down her throat. I mean, it's like something out of the Exorcist, and I'm afraid one of these times she's going...

I hope your skanky little herpes cat gets better soon.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do cats get herpes?
My Smoke took a nap with me yesterday. He drools when he's happy so I had to change my shirt when we woke up.
Sorry you're having unemployment problems. I'm having employment problems. I'm just not cut out for customer service.
I'm going to apply at Bare Assets when I get back from Virginia. I like shakin my shit, so I might as well get paid for it. If I get myself out to California, wanna give a sista some lessons?!

Well, this will be short but bitter 
- remember that motorcycle accident my boy and I were in in December? Remember the splint and the crutches and the hideous bruising I so eloquently depicted? Well, not only has State Farm offered me an insulting $400 "settlement", and him, a piddly $1,500, but our lawyer dropped the case! Apparently my bf's insurance wasn't in effect any...

Well, I think I stayed in the ER waiting room 2 minutes before I got stressed out and left. The friend who brought me there was told to leave, because there were "too many people" in there. Besides me, my friend, and a few staffers, there wasn't a mouse. Sure, deeper within there was probably plenty of casualties, so fair enough, he left. NO CELL...

I admitted myself to a psych ward once, winter of 2003, because I so literally wanted to die, and I knew I couldn't do that to my son...and living day to day wanting death but not being able to get that release wasn't gonna work either.
I remember they let me sleep the first day, because I had been up most all night crying. And whenever I woke up again, I cried some more.
They put me on effexor and a mood stablizer which made me feel like I was coming down of acid all the time. Took myself off the stablizer but effexor has done me a world of good. Alot of my borderline characteristics have faded away...
The right meds made a world of difference, and being around people with more serious problems made me realize how lucky I am, how good my life is, and that I most certainly will NEVER go back in the hospital again.
It was prolly the best thing I ever did for myself.
Good luck...

I don't think I can put off checking myself into the hospital any longer. I'll "talk to" you soon.

Trust me, Thora dear, my day was nothing compared to yours.
I have alot to say but I'll just stick it in my journal for all.
Think hard about it. It's not sunshine and rainbows, but I hope that you'll understand why I would like you to see it.

So I emailed the pics to the Maury show - one from my adolescent nerd days, and a Thora Zinesque shot in black lace lingerie. Surprisingly (to me), they were really into my look - even though, or perhaps because - I don't fit into the stereotypical stripper box. I didn't know the show involved confronting a bully from the past, though. It was at...

Re. the last part of the last entry, the merchant who tried to jack me WAS the owner of the store, and after I let her know I knew she tried to jack me, she threw a tantrum and told me to just buy one purse instead of the original two. Can we say NERVE, CHEEK, ENTITLEMENT?

kungfuvoodoo:
Well, are you ready? breathe
you know I love you and you can do no wrong in my eyes
But being flustered is the first problem. Stand centered and breathelook deep into whomevers eyes and feel their mind as you expose your own. Clearly state your needs and expect them to be met.
I know you are going through economic stress but we do not know what said attendants life is going through. We are human. If wrong was done then it will be obvious to the manager and your needs will be met.
If it will make you feel better resolve and confront the situation.
The good act is also the true act. If you allow this to perpetuate, said clerk or just general misdeed could be allowed to perpetuate.
Use this moment to congratulate your awareness on not being had and build a belief in making wrong things right, without creating more wrong.
you are still my hero!
On other fronts, what did you think of ol Benjamin Creme?
