So I got a tour of the Coffee shop I will be working at. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024172474)
It is owned by the treatment center that is treating my PTSD. The 2 GM's are councilors. They watch of systems and, if you are switching medication, for side effects. It is a working Coffee Shop, yet also therapy.
Some that are there are also in my support group. It will be nice working with people that understand what I am trying to accomplish because that is what they are there to do to.
The atmosphere is very loose and casual. The uniform is blue jeans and snickers. There are enough working at one time that if someone needs a moment for some reason, it won't be a problem. They said this is to help people learn how to cope with triggers that may come up in everyday life. And if a trigger happens, I can step off, grab a GM and work it out.
Oh, and I am also going to try a new treatment they are working on here at the U of A where they use Ultra Sound to help with the depression part of what I have. I am looking forward to it.
She's gonna wear candy bars on her feet, Snickers?
Lady Freedom Returns (6,353 posts)Uh-oh, she will not be able to use the PTSD excuse for why she is a lousy worker anymore if these other people are halfway competent. Odd are looking good she is going to have "issues" with her meds pretty soon.

I want to pull my brain out and trade it in with someone else right now.

Let me get this straight: There is a business that sells sugared caffeine products, staffed by mental therapy patients, while under the watchful eye of two councilors who are on station to provide intervention if one of them spaz's out... Did I get that right?
:thatsright:
I don't think I want to consume anything prepared by a staff of lunatics.
Lunatics are not known for meticulous hygiene.
Who would want to catch hepatitis or TB from a dirty, sick, crazy, homeless libtard.
They should not he allowed to work in jobs which require handling of food and beverages
Public safety hazard.
Unfortunately, having the cast from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" manning the operations of a coffee house does not provide great confidence in their final product.
Now now, do you really think they were collecting all of those jars of urine just to be wasted one day?
She's gonna wear candy bars on her feet, Snickers?
Good point, chitown. We should actually send a congratulatory post card to the restaurant if we ever find out where it's at, and urge Amber to keep it up.
Wonder how long before the cash drawer comes up short?
On the upside, I'm glad Amber has a job. I sincerely hope she can make it last.
Sure hope two counselors aren't the only managers. Can't imagine enjoying my cup of coffee with a side of freakout from one of the employees.
With that many wackos running around the joint with pots of steaming hot coffee, I doubt that the 2 GMs will be trusting any of them to man the register.
No, but I wonder how long it will take for the other waitresses to start complaining about there being no tips left on their tables.
And LFR smirking at them all while she slinks toward the door for a fast get-away. With a pocket full of nickels and dimes jingling a tune while she scampers out into the street.
Seen her picture? That lardass ain't scampering anywhere.
To the average DUmbass she probably is...section 8 housing,food stamps,Medicaid etc.
She will find some way to f*** this up, count on it.
Seen her picture? That lardass ain't scampering anywhere.
My question is, does anyone with facebook have contact with her loving caring sisters back in Joplin?
Maybe they need to be told Amber has a job, so as to set their minds at ease.
In the er with my stap darter
Rember its going to be cold before u start ur car look for cats they will be looking for worm place to sleep
Here are her last two Facebook updates. Does anybody know what language this is?
So LFR has PTSD? From what? Being a mule for Chief Running Drugs? Working at a "convenient store"? Staying at the Sally Hotel?
Inquiring minds want to know, LFR.
I might be headed to Joplin tonight. If I go, I might stop at Popeye's, and see if her sister is in.Oh my God, the entire family has brain damage.
If I see her, my only problem will be trying to communicate in a dialect of English that she can understand. Here are her last two Facebook updates. Does anybody know what language this is?

20. best of luck to you, but weren't you recently being harassed stalked because of a
little TMI on the net? I hate to suggest it, but I would delete some details here as a safety precaution if that is the case. Cruel people out there with nothing better to do.

Life in general, life in America in particular...
I wonder if Amber isn't in some facility for the mentally handicapped and the coffee shop job is some part of a patient rehab program.
Geez can't wait to hear what she does to some poor republicans coffee :(
OK, which one of you jokers has been stalking Amber again?
Oh yeah.
The bettyellen primitive.
<<<has fond memories of the bettyellen primitive, who was a prominent Andyite.
:blowkiss: to bettyellen.
Damn! My money was on working at the Convenient Store. :tongue: :tongue:

Sounds like exploitation of the workers to me.
Are they paying a Living Wage? Full health insurance and bennies? Thirty hour work week? Profit sharing?
Have the owners now or ever in their lives donated to a conservative cause? They may need boycotting.

Sounds more like a 'halfway house' to me.
If you're correct, her time in the drug infested, dripping Ho projects is limited.
The University of Arizona Medical Center is conducting research into transcranial ultrasound. It looks like Amber is a lab rat.
Does one suppose they get paid for that sort of thing, much like people who "donate" blood plasma?

That's what I was thinking too.
Is this a good idea after her recent hit and run accident? Wasn't she in the hospital for a concussion?

A bunch of retards and flakes around pots of boiling hot water.
Sounds like a great idea.
I wonder what sort of liability release form they make everyone sign whoFixed itworksdines there?
Fixed it
Yeah, I thought about including the diners, but I figure the sane people already know what they're getting themselves into by eating at this sort of establishment.
On that note, we have something similar around here that I support in more ways than one because of the changed lives I have seen come out of it. It's Christian-based, so the primitives wouldn't be interested in it.
Has Amber said anything about her laptop computer lately?
She was really really attached to it.
<<<suspects she lost it, it was stolen, or it was pawned.

She is using the one in the library so we do know that she doesn't have the laptop anymore. I suspect the pawn shop.
She doesn't own anything else of value worth trading.
