I know some of you think like the rest of society, that I am lowest of the low. That escorts are bad people. I'm just trying to improve my life. I wanted to be honest with my boyfriend. I've just been made to feel terrible by some. For those who care, the little shop I applied at has called me in for an interview/trial shift today. Just as in real life, ignore those who are a vexation to you. 1

Author Kirstoski Posted October 8, 2020 Author Posted October 8, 2020 Thank you all I got the job, The owner was very impressed. Said I can do full time until I start my courses then he will work round me. He did ask about my past. before I could say anything, The owner said "You been prison? No? You take drugs? No?" I said no he said "no problem for me" He wants me to do an online food safety course before my first shift, When I am there he will teach me things like the deli, health and safety and general shop things. 7

This job will open doors for you professionally and personally. If you are consistent by showing up and being a great communicator, you can work towards getting promoted to a supervisor role eventually, and after a few years you'll have that as a job reference when you are ready to move on to a better job. Plus you may meet coworkers at this new job who could become great friends with you, or at the minimum, be fun to work with while you get back on your feet taking the online courses and going to therapy outside of work hours. This is a great opportunity for you. So many good things will happen now.

elaine567 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Well done you on getting a job. Do not be in too much of a hurry to move on and get another one, though. You have been through a lot and you need time to decompress a bit. A nice job will give you some stability to get your life truly back on track.

Its my boyfriends birthday next month so want to use my first wage to buy him a present and either a meal out or take away 1
Author Kirstoski Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 Another first for me. Ordered myself a breakfast delivery off deliveroo. When I worked at "that place" I would never do that, because someone would call you fat or comment I have a "bit of a belly coming on" Always being me is so much better than being me part of the time.
Wiseman2 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Have you considered a journal for all the thoughts about your now vs then life to discuss with the therapist? It may help your transition.

Author Kirstoski Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 Day off today, Boyfriend was having pictures taken at his work campus. I went in for the trip and ended up getting some "linkedin"? pictures done. I actually look so happy in them and the photographer e-mailed them to me. It was soo good having them. I've got them on my phone. Really nice to look at Compared to my work photos. these are amazing. Boyfriend has every ID card still from joining, It sounds sad but I hope one day I have something like that as a memory. 1
