He +asked me if I'd heard from my sidekick using a name that while attributable to +her was not her herself - too formal and she would say in more words +incongruous [is that a word?] to her being. This was my first red flag of the +day but the person himself is a walking one his own, a Lady Gaga song glorifier +and notorious gossip not to mention lacking in empathy or humbleness, afflicted +even worse by the latter two than myself. + +I cannot think of him without thinking of my training in 2021 when I was +seventeen and he in twenties and I pulled a trash can from one inaccessible +location to a better one and I by himself was pulled aside and told unkindly +not to meddle with any sort of kitchen organization whatsoever, because he was +running the kitchen and his food making ship needed to be tight and +disciplined. Perhaps this was true, but whatever discipline he taught was yet +unaware of the basics of food safety as he gripped the trash bag liner to bring +the can back and forth on wheels from under the preparation table where he kept +it, contaminating the gloves with which he would make food with the retch +byproducts from the junk we organized. + +The same supposed manager, at that time technically the same role as my own +though given authority by that which did have it to give, that would tell me I +was a fool for going from chicken to beef - both cooked - without changing my +gloves and washing my hands, would go from raw meat to cooked comfortably with +contaminated tongs sitting in the no doubt E.

I've never seen the use of preventing food from touching food when +both are flesh and both thoroughly dead and thoroughly cooked, nor have I ever +seen the sense in crossing the dead and preserved with the dead whose food +safety is preserved. Nor have I ever seen how his taking me out of line and +chewing me out for moving a trash can was justified when I was trying to +guarantee the food safety that was not my responsibility but his. + +TRINITY: She's not doing well- I thought it was kind of obvious.

My +assumption though not charitable is he made a remark either about my being +transgender or being homeless, both things that while he may accept he is glad +certainly to not experience.
