MY DIARY DIGITAL DATA ENTRY 112 OF 145

Tonight when I was getting my nightly meal from the church charity food van at the city's industrial market warehouse carpark - I met a girl whilst we were waiting for the church charity food van to arrive - and her name is Alice and she has just been sacked from her job in a city cafe' the previous night after she threw two cups of coffee against the wall that were for two cafe patrons that were a nasty, malicious, bastard and bitch, corporate couple who were psychologically abusing her, especially by treating her in a patronising and condescending manner, when she was serving them in the cafe' where she worked - and so Alice threw their two cups of coffee against the wall and screamed at them to stop mistreating her - and she was then consequently fired by the cafe' chain's management after the corporate couple complained about her - and because Alice has been sacked from her job for what has wrongfully been termed misconduct - she now has to wait eight weeks before she is entitled to receive unemployment benefits - and because Alice is a casual worker she has no holiday pay to help her try survive until she can receive unemployment benefits in eight weeks time - and so now because of a ridiculing, condescending, cruel, corporate couple - Alice has now been forced into being homeless - which is why tonight she has now turned up here to get food to survive from the church charity food van at the city's industrial market warehouse carpark - And before she was sacked and made homeless yesterday - Alice had been working her job for that particular corporate city cafe' chain as a casual nightshift worker for three nights a week for eight years - however during that time she had increasingly become more and more anxious and angry because she couldn't take the constant psychological harassment and abuse from all the conservative corporate bastards and bitches anymore - and previously Alice had worked as a casual nightshift worker in a small business, individualistic, all night cafe in the inner city Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy where she also lived from the age that she was sixteen years old - and which she liked her job in that Fitzroy cafe' back then because she use to just work three nights a week there also so that she could financially support herself and also have time to do her artwork - however that particular cafe' in Fitzroy back then was an independent cafe' and her boss treated her well and so did the customers who were from the bohemian crowd that use to mostly occupy the inner-city suburb of Fitzroy back then - however since the early years of this first decade of the new millenium that suburb went through a gentrification period as it is close to the main university institutions of Melbourne which have had a massive recruitment phase in this past decade in order to make money - and so as the wealthy, bourgeois, university students moved into that inner-city region and the boring, bourgeois, suburban gentrification of the inner-city suburbs took place for them - the rental prices went up - and so the bohemian cafe's and nightclubs had to shut down at the same time the bohemian crowd that lived in that inner-city region were forced to move for financial reasons due to the skyrocketing rental prices caused by the gentrification as upmarket, boring, bourgeois cafe's, clubs and residential homes for the wealthy, bourgeois, boring university student market took over - and so at the start of 2001 Alice lost her job as her beloved bohemian cafe' where she worked shut down because of the gentrification of that inner-city region for the wealthy university students - and she also had to move out of that inner-city suburb of Fitzroy because she could no longer afford to live there because of the expensive, bourgeois, boring gentrification of that inner-city region for the wealthy university students - and then after that Alice's adult life began to fall apart - because after the bohemian cafe' where she worked closed down - Alice had to move out of her beloved bedsitter unit in Fitzroy and move into a run-down rooming house in the red-light district of the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda - and then Alice was also on unemployment benefits for three months before one of the privatised employment agency that works for the government placed her into a job in the conservative, corporate city cafe' chain where no individuality and personality is permitted in the workplace and where Alice then worked as a casual for the last eight years until she was sacked the previous night for misconduct because she could no longer take that conservative corporate cafe' workplace culture and the constant psychological abuse from the cruel, conservative, corporate clients of that conservative, corporate cafe chain anymore - and now because she was sacked for misconduct and she has to wait eight weeks to receive unemployment benefits - and also because she was a casual worker with no holiday pay entitlements - Alice is also now homeless because she has no way to financially support herself now - and so I briefly explained to Alice my homeless situation and where I am now living - and so Alice is going to meet me again at the church charity food van at the city's industrial market warehouse carpark this evening after I wake up from sleeping today.
