Sanjaya's hair looks better than mine =(

So I was @ the workplace yesterday and we had a long line...as usual. One of our regulars came in and I rang her up and sent her drink order down the line. She decides to start up a conversation with the lady making the drinks and they start looking at pictures. They are just a giggling and meanwhile the drink orders are piling up. I looked their way and saw that the customer was showing Anne (the lady who irritates me at work) a picture of her daughter and Sanjaya from American Idol. I was like "Anne, can you get these drinks made or move out of the way and let me do it?" She and the customer looked at me all sideways like I had just asked them to drop down and get their eagle on. But her arse moved on down the line and Anne got to those drinks. She bothers me sometimes, she acts good and dingy, but she is older than my mom! That lady act like a 12-year-old. Anyways.... we have to do group projects in my Educational Psychology class. I wanted to be in the group with this FINE motorcycle riding dreadlocks having chocolate man...and I got my wish. Too bad our topic is "educational equity" and half of my group mates don't know what "equity" means. SMH. This is gonna be a looonnnnggg semester.

Me + Math 151 = trouble!

So I bombed my math test...no shocker. I hate that class. It was raining, so I couldn't concentrate lol. I went to work today and as usual some crazy stuff popped off. Our head manager threw a box of signing materials at our boss. She went off. Sent him a nasty e-mail talking about how he disrespects us in front of customers. I try to stay out of their mess. This lady at work thinks I hate her. She is a bossy heifer...but she is so not important. She pisses me off because she goes behind me on everything I do. I have started saying "you do it" to her when she asks me to do stuff. I'm not 4 years old...I know how to mop a floor. She's older than my mother though so I "try" to respect her. Try. I'm just so ready to start my career. Starbucks is cool, but I don't see myself there past next spring. I'm trying to get a job at the Board of Education so when a teaching job comes up...they will know who I am! I'm working on my education portfolio so I can have some good references and job experiences to help me out. I'm also learning American Sign Language and Spanish so I can be marketable. Hopefully I can get a TA job in January...keep your fingers crossed. I've been thinking about this guy a lot. We met 2 years ago while working in the mall and we hit it off quickly. He goes to school 2 hours away and he came home last week to take care of some business. We went to dinner and all those felings that I had for him just came out. He is going for his Masters so he will be down there for another two years...but I really want to make this work. He is tall, dark, educated and still hood. We are both about the community and using our education to help our people and I love that about him. I'm going to visit him when I get my new car. Maybe I can put that in his ear. Well I need to study...toodles!

F--- customer service. Feel that!!!

I work @ starbucks. Most people think that it's a good job...and i'll admit...it's pretty cool at times. But some of the things that I hear daily...make me crazy. This man asked me to put 3/4ths of a packet of sweet and low in his tea. Like I really was gonna measure that shit out. Pour it out on the counter and get my razor blade out and chop it up into 4 pieces like it's some cocaine. Boooo! Then he had the nerve to say it was a little too sweet and he asked did I put the whole pack in there. I just looked at his pasty, square lookin ass self. He turned and walked out the door. Most days I laugh at the ignorant requests that I get, but today was not a good day. Maybe I should start a whole new blog about the stuff I hear @ work everyday. White people are hilarious. I love white people, I see them at the family reunions and stuff...but they make me crazy at work. I'm gonna start a new blog with my take on events that happen in Louisville. As soon as I wake up lol.

21

So I turned 21 this past friday and I used that day to really think about the direction that my life is going in. I'm a little over halfway finished with school, and I've finally decided on what my career path is going to be. Things are ok at home, I really want to move out but I have to find a job that pays well and is flexible about my school schedule. Me and you-know-who aren't speaking much but that's ok. I am starting to understand how relationships can be a distraction, especially when they aren't healthy strong relationships. Hopefully one day soon I'll find a guy who is right for me. But I have realized that my time here on earth is very short...and I have got to live life to the fullest. I have to do it big for the people who didn't have a chance to see 21...Nikki & Mike...this is for you!
