Greetings, everyone! Another week, another blog post. It's been a good week for me. I discovered today that using the Power Saver X device in my apartment has significantly reduced my electric bill, allowing me to survive on just one job at 32 hours a week and still have some cash to spare for shopping on Amazon. I also received two interviews: one for a general labor position on July 29th and another for a Certified Medical Assistant (C.M.A.) job on the 30th. I’m really hoping to land the C.M.A. position, especially since I think I’ve been interviewed by them three times already. If I can keep passing each round of interviews, I could finally secure a job that pays a base salary of around $6,000 a month at Kern Valley State Prison. If I ended up working that job alongside my current job at the group home, I would be making roughly $8,500 a month! I've managed to keep my living expenses so low that I could potentially have around $5,000 in pure profit each month if I worked both jobs. As I mentioned, I really hope to get hired at the prison because it would help me save for retirement and rebuild my nest egg, which has taken a hit due to Trump's tariffs and my expenses from unemployment and getting my car fixed. I had my therapy session with my psychiatrist recently, and she disagrees with my feelings about hostility at work. I told her that one cannot discount one's perceptions, but she responded by saying that given my upbringing, I may be predisposed to think that people are against me. I didn't respond at that moment, but I still believe that, deep down, my coworkers don't like me. I’m often excluded from personal conversations unless I bring up my own experiences, and none of them seem interested in hanging out with me. My psychiatrist mentioned that she has worked in her office for 13 years and doesn’t know anyone, which I think is hard to believe. She’s a normal person—maybe even a narcissist—and I doubt that someone with her qualifications could work at a medical firm for that long and not develop any relationships. I believe my psychiatrist was trying to console me with a white lie. Only someone who isn’t a narcissist, like me (and we are rare), would manage to work at a place for a prolonged period without knowing anyone. I also sense hostility from my coworkers, as if they're competing with me. That feeling of competition is a sign that they view you as the enemy. I hope this underlying tension doesn’t lead to my termination, but if it does, it’s not like I haven’t been let go before for being a "saint." It’s unfortunate what good people have to endure in society. Just because we’re good people who want meaningful relationships, we often face unwarranted competition. Life can be tough, especially when it comes to being a "Chosen One". We can be fired from our jobs for no reason and face verbal assaults, or even threats of violence. But nobody said going to heaven or having a godly life would be easy. You have to walk a fine line; unlike Johnny Cash who couldn’t walk a straight line to save his life! Anyway, here’s to making good money as the ultimate nerd—the “Chosen One!”
