My blog about what I do......
Saturday, January 11, 2025
Hi all!!! A lot has happened this week. Well here goes nothing!!! I have been getting a lot of hours at my job lately. I think it’s because I am willing to do any shift except NOC and eager to go to any house which is not common amongst the other workers of California Mentor. Most workers only want to go to one house as it is tough to keep track of what needs to be done if you have a lot of houses that you go to. I am also getting a lot of jealousy from some co-workers who either wish they had the intelligence to go to a lot of houses and know what to do or at least have the guts to go to many group homes and just “Wing It” as I do. I have this one co-worker at Columbia Kari who I think is so used to being the smartest one in the room except when I am in the room, she has to take 2nd place when it comes to smart so she hates it and gives me a hard time when we work together. That is the thing about some people. They develop a little intelligence and then their ego gets big and when your ego gets big you usually stagnate intelligence-wise. Kari and I argued the last time I worked with her, to the point of a shouting match. A lot of the issue is that she is a woman, and most women nowadays can never be 2nd fiddle to a man but unfortunately when they meet a strong man they must, and Kari cannot handle it. I had another confrontation with another co-worker at Kroll house. She was also a woman. She has kids and if you know anybody that has kids, they think they are immediately the best person in the room, but like I said, this is the case with Kari, not when I am in the room. So, my co-worker at Kroll and I had a little argument about who has it hard. She thinks that just because she has kids, she has it harder than me because I am single. That would be true if I were in my teen years or 20-something years, but this is adulthood, and being single in adulthood is different than being single in your younger years, which is what I explained to her. Because since I have no wife, I must do everything without help. I also have no kids to greet me when I get home; there are just a wall and roaches roaming my apartment. My co-worker at Kroll took offense to this statement because she knew it was the truth and started becoming hostile towards me. I am not going to take crap from people just because they popped out kids and this is not the “Suffer Olympics” We are not competing as to which person ash it harder. We are here for the clients, not some hidden competition. Word got out to my boss Marcus Epps, and he took a client to a medical appointment and wanted me to come. He didn’t reprimand me for my issues with Kari or my Co-worker at Kroll, but his comments made me feel like I should just let these women win. I just nodded yes but I will still defend myself against these misogynistic women. I do not care. Marital Status discrimination in the workplace is real and this perception that single men are just celebrating needs to stop! Nobody with any sense in his or her head will “Live it Up” in the strip club in adulthood, especially someone like me who is completely alone! I mean who is going to take care of me when I am old? The strippers at the club? No, I got to work like every other adult! Also, since I am alone, I must build a nest egg for when I can no longer work. There is going to be a time when I cannot work and if I were to celebrate now since I am a single man that will lead to me being a homeless wino when I am old! People are so stupid I swear!
Anyway, till next time…
MAHALLO!

Hi all! Fellow Nerds! LOL! Like anybody reads my thoughts on here. I don’t know, well here goes. I had a fun week this week! There was NO drama from my co-workers this week. All the negative drama at the beginning of my tenure was just hazing. They also know that I bust my ass at work and do about any shift other than NOC shift so maybe they have some respect for me now. I still get ignored at work and stared at, but when I look at them, they quickly act like they aren’t staring. I know it’s more than just me looking good. I am quite sure it’s because I stand out from everybody else. I am guessing that is the reason they had all this drama with me, to begin with. As a “Chosen One” I am too good to be true, so they said, “Let’s test him to see how good he is with a little drama....” I am not relaxing as they might start drama next week who knows?? As a Chosen One, I must be ready when someone wants to attack. With the way people are nowadays, a verbal attack can come at any time, even over the phone! A Chosen one can be spotted on the phone and BOOM! Phone drama on a scale from 0 to 10 in 3 seconds! LOL!
With all the lifting at my job, I may have hurt my left bicep. I don’t know if I will still workout after work so maybe I should lay off a bit. Speaking of layoffs, my car broke down yet again on the 25th of December. I had it towed and the towman said it could be the alternator. I had it towed on the 25th to my house and even after getting my car disabled my job still wanted me to work SHEESH! People take for granted a good man! I am so glad I am not in a relationship. Because not only will my job take me for granted, but I will also be at home taken for granted by my girl. Good men are better off alone nowadays. I learned that from Springer back in the day. “If you are sheep, you are better off out of the game.” And I am a sheep. When I had my car towed from my house to the repair guy the next towman said it could be a transmission problem. I got the sense from him that he knew my brother Paul because he asked me “Do you ever hang out with your brother?” I told him I hated my brother and that was his response. I don’t know, Maybe I am just paranoid. When I sent my car to the repair shop the main repair guy was vacationing in Mexico and won’t be back till the 2nd of January 2025. I said that is ok I will use Lyft to go to work. I was so happy when I got the phone call yesterday, the 2nd that my car was done! And I didn’t even skip a beat! I am so proud of myself. I used Lyft one last day yesterday and this morning the 3rd of January and picked up my car. He said it was just the Alternator, not the Transmission, and I was relieved. I think the 2nd Towman from the 25 of December was Paul’s friend and as I have written on the Blog Paul is my Enemy. Well, here’s to getting my Car back and playing Baldur’s Gate till 6:30 pm!!!
Till Next Time…
MAHALLO!

Hey Nerdy People!!! LOL!!
Another Edition of my Blog!! Like anybody reads this LOL! Anyway, a lot has happened this week. First off, my car broke down at the Intersection near Barnes & Noble. I nearly broke down on the highway, but I could exit and try to go home when my car went caput in the turn lane of the intersection near Barnes & Noble. It was scary because I didn't know when I would get towed. I told my job that I wouldn't be able to make it although they expected me to go via the Lyft app. I told them I couldn’t, and my other boss Kris was mad. I don't see how she should get angry at that. My car broke down and, and on the Highway, too! So, she really can't complain! It’s ok, it was Christmas when I broke down so there is not much going on in the Group Home at Columbia. I immediately went home got out of my work clothes and just started playing Baldur's Gate and that’s when Marcus Epps called my immediate boss and asked if I was still coming I said no and he said to tell my other boss Kris Alejandro, again when I called her she was kind of mad. I don't see why. I am guessing that she takes me for granted as I am so flexible with my schedule. She doesn't strike me as a very smart person, but then again, she is married and from my estimation, married people are not really that smart. The next day was my morning shift, and I used Lyft to get there. After that, it was my day off and I used that day to sleep most of the time. I also went on a bike ride for exercise. I went yesterday too on the 26th, after my shift at Columbia ended to Arco. I was biking to Starbucks on the 26th which is a good bike ride. The app. said it is mostly flat, but I found out it is not, and it was quite a strain on my legs, which is good! I am not going to get a lot of exercise due to my car being at the shop. Oh, I had it towed to BK Transmission for repair. The two guys who towed it said that it could be a bad alternator or a bad transmission. I hope it’s not a transmission. That would be a big expense!
Till Next Time...
MAHALLO!
