First. I need to get my paycheck from the janitorial company. The guy who offered me the job invited me to lunch, and made a point of denigrating me the entire time I was eating. It was to the point where, he was taunting me with fighting words, and I'm know for a fact that I would have been well within my legal rights to respond with violence. I abstained from that course of action, paid for my meal, left, and blocked his phone number. I suspect that he behaved that way intentionally in an effort not to pay me for my work. I'm not sure how I'll recover this money.
There seems to be an attitude in people I come across, where, people seem to think being denigrating or condescending establishes their superiority, but really, it's a taunt, an instigation, and quite frankly, an invitation to fight. In many ways I really do think that I need to get out of this place, out of Dallas - Fort Worth. I don't know if things would be better somewhere else. At the restaurant, I threw many of his comments right back at him. I really have to stay away from people like that. I just don't know why people are like that. Nearly everyone I came across at the gas station.
Anyway. I'm going to see about getting my paycheck from them. I'll escalate the issue to the Texas Workforce Commission or the US Department of Labor if I have to. I just still don't know why people are like that, why people try to instigate a response like that. I don't know how to deal with it, if someone makes me angry, I know that the best thing to do is walk away, but, how many fucking times do I have to walk away? You either respond with words, fight, or walk away.
