Update 10.13.2021

I haven’t updated this in a long time. Why? I haven’t had a lot of free time to write. I am also scared to share my true thoughts because I fear retaliation.

This week, I watched the fall of Gruden because of some emails he wrote over 10 years ago. What he said was wrong and stepping down was the right thing to do, I will not dispute that. I wonder what will happen to those who exposed the emails. I recently received a social media message that was directed at me that is filled with insults. I reported it and I was retaliated against for reporting. The person went unpunished. Now the writer of the hateful message has joined another group that I am apart of. I am concerned that the same scenario could play out again. I sought out advice and was told that if you report what someone else says or does to you, you can be seen as retaliating against that person and be punished. So, when can you report that someone is harming you or threatening you and not be punished? Why do we punish victims and not perpetrators?

Today, I walked out and quit my job. Huh? Am I serious? Yep, absolutely. Normally, I would tell someone don't ever do this, but sometimes a person has to do what is best for them.  Here is what happened: 7:50 a.m. Arrived at work. 7:50 a.m. to 7:55 a.m. Placed my lunch in the breakroom fridge, filled up my water bottle, and logged into my computer. Once I logged into my computer and saw the email, I decided to make today my last day. Why? Was it really that bad? My ex boss (I love how that sounds.) was demanding a meeting with me to go over my soft skills and discuss my future goals with the company.  This meeting was unnecessary, I had turned in my notice and my last day was to be on the 29th of May.  I couldn't get out of the meeting. It was mandatory.  Would the meeting really have been that bad?  Well, if it had been like past meetings, yes.  Historically, she doesn't have a positive thing to say, she puts me down, do...

If you have a Dyson Animal 3 listen up.

The recline feature suddenly stops working. About a year ago, I decided to splurge on a good vacuum because I was tired of replacing the vacuum every few years. Well, I vacuumed, shut it off and tried to use it the next day and wouldn’t recline. After trying some of the tips online, I gave up and called Dyson. After an hour wait, the guy told me that this model had a defect. So, if I send it back, they will send me a replacement. So, now I am waiting for a replacement. I am also wondering why they don’t recall it.

Why don't I share my political views on social media?

-
 I don't share my political views because it usually leads to disagreement amongst people and frankly, I don't feel like arguing with anyone. Also, I have to be careful about my conduct on a social media platform because of my job. I must protect my source of income and my future. I will always speak out against violence against women and violence prevention because those are my areas of research.
