I'm a dead kitty
10 years ago
Yeah like... for real.
The appartment with fenced backyard we wanted is now gone... Our future flatmate decided he no longer wanted to apply with us for it. I am in obligation to stay at my stepmother appartment which I HATE very deeply and she is still unhappy about me getting eventually a service dog. I had an appointment for a possible barmaid job on a boat, it went fine, but thinking again about it, I am not sure anymore if it's a good idea... The boss is an old captain, very kind and sweet, but it's more the whole environment... lot of tourist passing by, which is troublesome for somebody like me with social anxiety. I'm not sure I'll be able to hold on. I am supposed to start my formation on Thursday, I am so afraid :(
To-do list:
triyune Canine fursuit tail and feetpaws => One feetpaw done, other one is sewn and now need fur to be glued

You should try it, in any case. And THEN decide whether you are mentally able to keep it or leave. But give it a chance.
And, if you are open to it you will make experiences there which will show you that your fear is not always needed. It's like a chance for life ;)
Good thing is that he is totally okay about my future service dog
Oh and your feetpaws are nearly done. So sorry for taking long long time
As for going back to Canada - would anything be different there?
Generally, there are 3 steps of dealing with a trauma: fighting, running, giving up.
Don't start running.
The captain offered me a choice between two jobs, I think I will ask him if it's still possible to change my mind... I had the choice between barmaid (and all the service + alcool order) or selling icecream. Maybe starting with selling icecream will be less stressful to get used to the place...
I won't be here till Monday again, I'd really like to know how you are doing...just make sure you are still here when I get back ;)
What do you feel more comfortable with now after the training?
I'd barely dare to do such a job without a calculator, or better, a digital checkout. Once I worked as a waiter at the parish festivities and I had to do it all in my head, it was terrible for me and I haven't done it again since then.
But 10 cent is quite okay there :) I hope he'll realize what kind of nice person you are and keep you despite the 10 cents ~D
