Excerpts from a Diary

Just Trying to be Honest.

I have recently switch jobs yet again. I must admit that I had to remain silent about the torture I was enduring at my other job – Frankly, it was a nightmare. But in the spirit of the blogging world nothing is sacred except names, faces and too many details, I will blog on this one. Time to clear the air and let go of this bad dream forever.

My friend’s tell me that it was a learning experience, but I am certain that the slaves did not think it was learning experience when they were in captivity. But there are a few things that I have learned:

I really hate lawyers, they lie and about absolutely nothing.
I don’t like working for women. Way too many complications. Too many underlying meanings and messages to simple conversations.
The upper-middle class black poor (some of you will understand this immediately) are so pretentious that it is nauseating. I don’t understand were they get off thinking that they are better or better off than the rest of us. The reality is, despite the crystal glasses, fine china and car in the garage, at the end of the day you are still living in a substandard shack, in a low income neighborhood, and still seen in the same light as the rest of us crabs in the barrel.
The day I left was one of the happiest in my life.

The story, I worked for a particular law firm for a year and three months. I was unhappy the very first day, but with the schedule I had I could not go anywhere or interview as freely as I wanted. Finally at my wits end a few weeks ago I decided that enough was enough and after talking to a few friends I figured that waiting until a new job came along would be stupid and if I waited that long in the hope that something different would happen, there wasn’t going to be anything new. So I resigned, the very next day I interviewed for a job and was hired on the spot. I took this leap of faith and got exactly what I wanted. I am happy for the first time in a long time.

But know that this is a really small world I am keeping my head down and not coming out of my face about anything, heaven forbid I need a lawyer one day.
