This place is really trying to take over my life but if I keep working I will have money, right? <br /><br />So I'm sitting here with a book. A coworker said what are you reading? I picked my book to show her the cover and she turned her nose up! "Alice Walker?! You can keep that!". Wow! Are you serious? Its Alice Walker! I pity your world!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027830806991683657.post-26748234684994166352010-08-07T09:36:00.000-07:002010-08-07T10:05:25.292-07:00Big ChangesWow, its been forever since I've written. LOTS has happened. Let's recap te spring in summer, shall we?<br /><br /> Probably the biggest news: I QUIT! That's right, I left my job. There were lots of problems there and it definately was not a place I could grow personally or professionally. I got to the point where I wasn't sleeping at night for stewing. But I got the nerve to walk away from the most unlikely of places:<br /><br /><em>In New Orleans, Jen, Jada and I stopped at a voodoo shop because Jen wanted some candles. Basically, a guy walked up to me and told me that I was struggling. I was surrounded by people who were afraid of my power and ability (little old me?!) and that they were, knowingly or unknowingly, repressing me because I didn't realize how powerful and able I am and they knew it. He told that I knew what was best for me in this situation and that even though people are advising me to not to what I truly wanted, I needed to follow my own intution. </em><br /><em></em><br /><em>So we went to another shop and I was chatting with the guy there. After talking about snakes and successfully freaking us out, the man said, "Do you love your job?" I said no; he said "Then don't do you. It kills you to do things you hate so don't. That's not the type of person you are". Then he tell me EXACTLY what the other guy said plus that I thrive working with people, Mobile is too small for me and I wouldn't be there long (I HOPE!!!), and that I would come to a time where I would be begging people to treat me fairly but they will all turn their backs on you and that I would be able to tell that they are lying to me because they will never look at me with lies. And I'll be damned that in a meeting about a week later, I was sitting there damn near begging them to come to a fair compromise while two supervisors (at my request) looked at each other for most of the meeting and the supervisor with whom I was having issues never looked at me except to say "I'd like your letter of resignation by the end of the day". I cried because it was so eerie. </em><br /><em></em><br />And I'm so much happier. Not a day has passed that I have regretted that decision.<br /><br />Other news, I went to Chicago, I'm not on speaking terms with him, I'm working on my career while finishing grad school, I've decided to go for natural hair (What a process!!!!) and I am getting my own place.<br /><br />Exciting things are ahead, I feel it. <br /><br />Tonight is our last APT 422 party. I will miss my roomies but I know that living on my own is the next natural step and it will help me get some new opportunities.<br /><br />Here's to the work day going by quickly so I can party all night.

Let's cover all the bases here:<br /><br /><strong>Money</strong>: Still ain't got it!!! There is a little light at the end of the rainbow, as I am paying and paying and struggling and soon I will be debt free...except the student loans of course. I've brought 2 pairs of shoes since my birthday (2!!!! Can you believe it?). I have NOT been shopping. If I keep it up, I'll do good! Still, I have had a few unexpected things pop up like a broken computer that needs to be replaced!!! Ugh!!!<br /><br /><strong>Boys</strong>: Yeah, they're still that.... Although things have been good. Can't complain.<br /><br /><strong>Work</strong>: Same. Although I do feel like I'm getting to do more exciting things and that I'm being taken seriously as a person who is really here to make a difference. I also feel that I am taking it more seriously and thinking outside of the box and using this job to get experience where I need it. <br />Also, I have been active doing some outside stuff. Just helped a friend with a charity auction (however minimal my help was) and now we are working on a booksigning. Fun. I also met this woman who is starting a non-profit and be get to do some grantwriting and event planning work with her. And I go to PRCA meetings as often as possible. I am determined to make my dreams come true which is why.....<br /><br />I've applied to graduate school. We'll see how that goes.<br /><br /><strong>Friends</strong>: I have the best friends. I am working hard to maintain relationships because I haven't in the past.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027830806991683657.post-21870698896464237032009-06-15T14:55:00.000-07:002009-06-15T15:07:27.145-07:00Its HotIt feels so hot!!!
