Sooooooooooooooooooo...

It's another sunny Tuesday.. Let me tell the children of the world about self-sabotage.... Like my ability to be consistently late to work when I don't want to be there.. especially when I try hard to get their on time.. I'm famous for it.. My subconscious is a BEAST. Yet.. I got another temp job last week.. and in one weeks time.. I was late 3 times.. needless to say.. an interview I scheduled 3 weeks ago came up yesterday.. I scheduled time off for it.. But got the time wrong.. So I went home anyway.. got up to go to work this morning.. and when I got there 3 minutes late the supervisor got in a tiff.. He's a bit uptight.. He told me to either..
1) call the temp agency or 2) Go home.. and here the plot thickens..

I called the temp agency and didn't get who I was supposed to talk to. So.... I sat around for a few minutes.. Recalled the Interview I was now late for and twiddled my thumbs thinking.. He gave me the option to go.. I don't have to be here.. I'm not doing anything.. I grabbed my things tentatively.. and inched towards the door waiting for super uptight supervisor dude to come back in.. he never did.. I hopped in my bat mobile.. grabbed my resume file and called the Interview for FT Permanent Job location.... not even before I pulled out the parking lot to inform them I was running late but would be on my way for the interview.. So 30 minutes later..I was interviewing for a new permanent job. I feel good about it.. But i've been doing this interview thing for like 7 weeks now.. It's getting OLD QUICK! I don't get excited anymore..

So.. when I leave the interview.. I check my voicemail message.. Apparently, I missed a message last night. Not one T W O. I wasn't supposed to go to the Temp assignment today.. They cancelled my assignment.. But I never got the message. they never called my cell. (Note: this is not the usual office I work with shit has been wrong from day one) So I was kinda pissed that Super Uptight Supervisor Dude.. didn't tell me that while I was there.. He let me flounder.. What's funny is how people think they are really affecting you with these damn temp jobs.. Temp jobs have NEVER gotten me anywhere but bored and on to more temp jobs.. and apparently they look very bad on my resume.. Since i've been doing them for almost 5 years now. I've been working 2 year assignments at a time.. with no formal employment. It looks bad..

Anyhoo.. I think things happen for a reason.. Here I was thinking I couldn't take another day off to go to this interview.. and they gave me the time, oh so magically.. which is why I boot scooted outta dodge this morning.. not knowing I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE DAMMIT!

anyhoo.. I called up my buddy.. if you will notice I called my buddy a few months ago in Feb when I lost or was let go from my last assignment.. and we went to breakfast.. I wanted some grits and eggs.. comfort food.. I don't know.. But tell me why the forgetful pregnant waitress.. told me they didn't serve Vanilla coke with the vanilla syrup anymore.. when I distinctly remember going to this SAME restaurant (can you call Waffle House a restaurant!?!?!?) well I went to this same eating establishment a few weeks ago and was served a Coke WITH VANILLA FRIGGIN SYRUP! she told me they hadn't served it in months.. BUT I HAD ONE! WHAT THE HELL! have I entered the Waffle House Crazy Zone!?!?? whatever.. I have learned they have good iced tea.. BOOO :(
Mind you Vanilla coke and iced tea where my 5th and final choices after learning this eatery does not serve apple or cranberry juice just Orange.. I don't really like orange juice.. 4th choice.. Vanilla coke ERRRR did you hear the buzzer go off.. Sweet Tea.. This is the mother fucking south.. Sweet Tea is ALWAYS available

I don't think I need another job.. I need all my side line pursuits to pan out and make me rich famous and happy. I need to write like 3 hit songs, focus on the Entertainment company (I know tasha I know !!!!), start that body care line i've been thinking of for years, write that damn book and work on my next chapbook and spoken word CD people keep asking for.. I think I have enough talent to make that happen..

HELL I didn't tell you.. Yesterday Super Uptight Supervisor Dude.. pulled all the admin in the office yesterday to let us know.. we were doing a great job.. and that we worked in the office instead of the warehouse b/c we had "Special Skills" ( do the quotes with your fingers.. it emphasizes the cheesiness of it all) and that we made a dollar more than the warehouse workers b/c of our "special skills" my SPECIAL SKILLS ONLY GET ME A DOLLAR... HELLLLLLL. I got me some special skills that can make me more than 10.25 an hour!!!!!! what the hell... So i'm not really upset about losing this "job". if some peon uncle tom can tell me that bull-ish and think I should be grateful for the possible dollar raise that will come with being a full time employee of this Rent a truck behemoth.. I don't really need it. F-that.. so my buddy emphasizes to me that I need to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, b/c my paradigm has been shifting something crazy lately.. I'm not content with the humdrum..

But this children is why I go to Massage Therapy School.. I'll be graduating in August.. this office temp stuff is some real bull$$#%$*#%$!!!!!!.
