Happy.

I know its unlike me to be posting THIS much within a week LOL! But its easier for me if I share while its on my mind. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about life and the many things we take for granted. Just a few minutes ago I stood in the bathroom mirror at my job, adjusting my appearance, running my fingers through my hair, trying to obtain my vision of perfection. I made eye contact with my reflection and just as my mind started to drift into a cold, hopeless and distorted direction I heard a voice.

No, not THAT kind of voice LOL! It was my coworker, she offered a compliment, one in which I've heard many times before, but yet I still hesitantly accepted. Although it was something so genuine and innocent the concrete walls I've built around myself  wouldn't allow me to linger in that moment no longer than the time it took me to say "thank you".

I struck up a conversation about the rain and how it seemed as if It would be gloomy all day.

no one. nothing. no words. that can 

I smiled at my reflection.

Random Shat....

What's going on with me???

*sigh* «--- That's actually a refreshing sigh! I'll be starting school back next year and although I'm excited I'm also a little nervous :-( mainly because it's been a minute since I've been in a classroom. The good part? I only have about 6 classes to take in order to finish my degree (Associates) The bad part? These 6 classes are some of the one's I've been running from lol! Science & MATH being two of them. *cries* Math is SOOOOOO not my subject and I KNOW I'll be needing a tutor, but I'm gonna (wo)MAN up and tackle that damn class. Oh but it gets more interesting....just as soon as I finish up this degree, I'll be heading right back to school to complete my BA *pray for me* I've had more than enough time off and I am finally READY to do this so I can move closer towards where I want to be.


On to the fun stuff...



For those of you that don't know, I do art in my spare time. Graphics, Visual, Abstracts and other different mediums. It's been a minute since I've picked up a pencil or paintbrush but I'm actually in the works of a new project and will share it with you guys shortly!!!

Oh, I also have ANOTHER website lol. I've had it for over a year but I just relaunched it. It's a beauty blog that focuses on skincare amongst other things. I'm happy to announce that I'll be promoting a giveaway next week on the site! So make sure you drop through and check us out Gimme That Glow.


Crap that makes me ill...


Uhhh...yeah...just a few things I've been meaning to mention.

I knooooow I'm not the best speller in the world but...it REALLY annoys me when ppl use words that should be a completely different word. Its one thing to mispell something but to use a word REPEATEDLY like you just KNOW its correct really irks me. Some people get offended by the @grammarpolice but I actually WELCOME them LOL. My thing is this if you see that I've made a mistake, by all means, CORRECT me so I don't KEEP doing that shit LOL! In general, misspellings I can let slide because I do it ALL the time too! But misuse of a word???

Prime example...On my Twitter Timeline I've been seeing NUMEROUS ppl misuse the word "brought"

"Yeah, girl I brought that new Jay-Z album yesterday."

*blank stare* You did what? You "brought" it where??? Like did you BRING something or did you BUY it??? I'm confused.

You still have no clue what I'm talking about??? That's quite alright because 9 times out of 10 you probably do this ALL the time. So let me drop a little knowledge for you.

The difference between brought and bought:

Bought: is the past tense of "to buy"
"Jeremy bought a new computer for $500"

Brought is the past tense of "to bring"
"Katherine brought several bottles of wine to the party"

Got it? Get it? GOOD! Now don't do that shit no more :-)


Another word I notice a lot is definAtely.... ummm excuse you??? what the fuck is that??? it's NOT a word. There is no "a" in the word D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y.

Conversate is ALSO not a word....errr ummm but shit I like it so I have no gripes with that one LMAO!

I hate when ppl say "sweetie", that word should be eliminated from existence. It should be against the law to call a grown person "sweetie"


Foolishness...

• Ummm why haven't Chance and Real picked their hoes yet? It seems like that shits been on all damn year.
• Soooo Ghey Ray J's Season 2 starts on Nov. 2nd. I'll be doing the recaps, are y'all gonna watch it with me???
• The fuckery continues!! "I want to work for Diddy" is coming back with a 2nd season as well. I'll be front row and center for this mess LOL!!!
• Monique's show is pure effin' foolishness!!! Why the hell is she always yelling??? I honestly TRIED To give that shit a chance but its BORING....I was actually going to go to a taping of the show since its in my city but ummmm she makes her audience HUG themselves *side eye* just my luck the day I go we'll all be wearing snuggies. LMAO!
• Speaking of SNUGGIES....get ready for this....I actually tried one!!! HAHAHAH!!! It was soooooo soft and warm, I took a little cat nap in it. BEST sleep EVERrrrrr. I'm gonna buy one, *don't judge me*
  

ehhhh I think that's it for now...tootles!!!

9 Ways To Piss Off A Receptionist Near YOU....

Being a receptionist HAS to be the most irritating job on the face of this earth. When people ask me what I do I usually respond with "oh, I'm a flunky", yeah they laugh it off, but shit its the truth. Imagine people in your face ALL fuckin' day, answering phones ALL fuckin' day and babysitting adults ALL fuckin' day. And just so you don't forget... I HATE MY JOB! So umm yeah, this is another post about just that...


Having Asshole Tendencies In My Lobby
I can't count the number of weirdo's that come through my lobby on the regular. But the people that piss me off the most are the impatient summabitches! "Mrs. I Don't Have All Day" and "Mr. I'm On A Meter Man". Guess what??? Tapping your feet, moaning, groaning and sighing in my lobby will NOT speed up your waiting time. I had a dude drop off a subpoena, I CANNOT SIGN FOR ANYTHING LEGAL. So I called someone to come up & sign for it. Apparently they weren't moving fast enough, because not even 2 minutes later, dude was back in my face... "umm all I need is a signature, here YOU can sign for it" then he slips it through the mail slot under the window. I kindly hand it back to him and tell him "no, someone will be with you shortly", then he proceeds to say "Well, do they have to come from another floor? I mean all I need is a signature how long is this gonna take?!"..."Siiiiiiir, you can have a seat, someone is on the WAY"...then his ignorant ass leans against the window and starts tapping his fingers on the wall.

It takes ALL I have not to step outside and...

for assholes such as him.

Standing @ My Window Unannounced
Our receptionist area is behind a glass window and guess who was blessed with the funtastic opportunity to sit behind it...that's right muah!!!! We don't have a bell or anything to signal us when someone comes through the door so half of the time I don't even notice that they're there. So I could very well be in my 3rd championship of Spider Solitaire while your dumb ass is standing on the other side of the window gawking @ me. Ummm, *Public Service Announcement* If its OBVIOUS that I haven't noticed you standing there, then maybe the ideal thing to do would be to say something to announce your presence. A "hello" or an "excuse me" will suffice; simple asses.



Approaching Me With An Unwarranted Attitude
I work in an office that handles claims, so trust me THAT alone is STRESSFUL enough. Its like everybody has a fuckin' attitude here. From the bitch I sit next to, to the Director, the people on the phones, even the punk ass UPS man has an attitude. Da hell YOU bitchin' about and all you gotta do is drop off a damn box??? Our UPS guy has the ashiest, crustiest hands I have EVER seen in my life, his hands need plastic surgery. Every damn day he comes through in such a damn rush, I hate him. He does this little nasty impatient ass tap on the door, I know its him so I roll my eyes and take my damn time getting up. When I open the door he tries to barge his midget ass in with the box before I can even get out of his way. (Rude Mofo) I remember one time he was supposed to pick something up and I'm guessing this was another one of his bad days. I showed him where the package was and he snarls @ me saying "LOOK, I have gotten TWO calls about this package, is this EVERYTHING y'all want me to take??!"

Maaaaaannnn, I got pissed.

First off, YOU gotta come here EVERYDAY so if its NOT the package then guess what??? You'll be back tomorrow??? LMAO it must suck to be him.

Lingering At My Desk
I am NOT fuckin' friendly. That's the biggest misconception people have of a receptionist. Yeah, sure at one point in time I USED to be a nice person and dare I say it? I even "cared" about the way I came across to people. But after 5+ years of the same bullshit, lets just say I'm OVER it. One of the easiest ways to piss me off is to come up front tryna chill @ my desk. Have I ever skipped my ass to your cubicle tryna hold a covo??? Nope. I don't care WTF I'm doing, if I'm working, putting on my damn mascara or playing uno online, that is NOT an open invite for you to bring your happy yappin' ass in my face blabbing about your dumb ass dogs, dumb ass husband or dumb ass kids...I am NOT interested. I may not look or actually BE busy; BUT bitch I'm busy, get the fuck outta here.

Popping Up With No Appointment
One of the people that gets the biggest side eye from me is Ms. "I Was Just In The Neighborhood". All up in my face like "Surprise Surprise Bitches I'm Heeeeeeeere!!!" The type of agency I work at, there is NO way you can just pop up unexpectedly THEN expect someone to acknowledge you. Bottom line, they do NOT have to see you w/o an appointment and more than likely they won't. So no need in giving me a sob story that you drove 72 miles just to have a moment of the Bosses time. And don't get mad @ me when I break the disappointing news that you won't be seen. I have NO compassion for you. Go back home, schedule a meeting or appointment and we'll see what we can do NEXT time.

Touching My Sh!t
There is a REASON I don't keep personal stuff @ my desk. I sit out in the open, no walls, no privacy. I don't even have photo's on my desk, because I don't want people tryna strike up conversation about shit that doesn't concern them. If I am capable of sashaying my ass down to the supply room then SO CAN YOU! Stop asking me to "borrow" shit. If I have a set of colorful sharpie highlighters on my desk...PLEASE refrain from putting your filthy clepto fingers anywhere near them. If you are not providing coverage for me, then there is NO reason why you should be touching my phone. Why I gotta wipe my shit down with Clorox wipes every time I get back to my desk??? That's the VERY reason I STAY sick in this bitch because people are ALWAYS touching shit!!!

Being A Ditsy Ass Bugaboo
One of the mannnnnnnnnyy gripes I have with people @ work. Our office is FULL of Bugaboo's, every 10 minutes somebody is in my damn face asking me dumb ass questions.

Where can I get some staples from? (Ummm, the room with the big ass sign that says "SUPPLIES" that you JUST passed on your way over here didn't throw off enough "hints" for you?

There's a paper jam in the copier, can you help me? (Bitch. The machine has a fuckin' video and photo diagram that directs you STRAIGHT to the problem)

Somebody left this in the bathroom... (Da fuck you tellin' ME for??? They'll just have to use their context clues to figure out where they left it b/c I ain't touching it)

The fax machine is broken... (You know, hitting the ON button usually fixes that)

I forgot how to wipe my ass, can you show me how? (Hell, they might as well ask me that too)

I don't get paid to problem solve...mos def doesn't reflect that on my check...most definitely not in my job description...mos def not going out of my way to do it. My solution for ditsy people is EASY! Just be a reflection of whatever their giving you. They come to you with a stooopid question, just give them twice as much of a stooopid answer. The one that ALWAYS works for me is "I DON'T KNOW"... Once people figure out that you are smarter than the average bear, that opens doors for them to consistently BOTHER you. Why try to figure it out themselves when they can just ask the Receptionist??? So being ditsy is NOT an excuse, because two can most definitely play that game.

Calling Without A Clue
I probably get close to one hundred calls a day, and 95% of them make me want to scratch my ears off. When clients call in we are required to ask for specific demographic information in relation to their claims. I had a lady call in asking about her claim. She couldn't give me the claim number, a social, a date, not even an agency name. Then she has the audacity to get mad when I tell her I'm unable to pull up anything in the system due to the limited information. Bitch, buy a clue THEN call me back. People who call with the wrong number are also on my "do you wanna get fucked up?" hit list. A dude called in asking some off the wall shit about someone who he claimed "used" to work here. I told him that there was no such person here, then he wants to damn near argue with me saying that someone gave him this number so this HAS to be the place. LMAO! My mama always told me not to reason with fools; so I gave his ass the AT&T theme song *click*

Expecting Preferential Treatment

Yeah, I may be cordial with your ass in the office, might even chat it up with you from time to time. But don't think for one minute that there will EVER be a moment where I will go out of my way for you. Once again I am NOT friendly, I will NOT have your back if you get into some deep shit that does NOT pertain to me. You are an acquaintance, and nine times outta ten I wouldn't even look in your direction if I saw you in my regular life. So no need in getting your panties or boxers in a bunch when I don't give you first dibs on the brand new office supplies or when I don't let you know that HR is giving out free Starbucks Cards & Six Flags Tickets, because NOBODY gets V.I.P. treatment on my watch...except myself of course *wink*

Random Fie Foe Fandom....

Man I know I've been hella neglectful around these parts and that's mainly because my mind has been all over the place lately. So if you will, I invite you to indulge in a few of my thoughts @ the moment....


If you read this blog, then you know that there's always one common link in the majority of my random posts. Which is the fact that I HATE MY JOB! So lets get that part out the way first, shall we?!

I received ANOTHER rejection letter this past weekend. I don't understand why I still get upset about the shit, frankly I should be use to it by now. But the shits still MAD depressing. In fact I'm on the verge of tears typing this sentence. I don't know if the job market is just THAT over saturated or if I'm looking in the wrong places. Either way, its hard and MAD cold out here. This is my THIRD time going through the SAME scenario. Getting a SECOND interview and STILL.....NOTHING. I don't get it, what's intriguing them to call me back a second & third time? And what's holding me back from getting the job offer? Alright, enough of that before I get mad :o/ Moving along...

In brighter news I've been stepping up my music game...

A couple people put me on to Nicki Minaj and OH.EM.GEE I love her! I'm not gonna even lie, when I first heard of her I wrote her off, wasn't even interested in giving her ish a listen. It's VERY few rappers that I like and can actually tolerate and female rappers??? Shit I was skeptical. But after hearing 2 songs I was HOOKED, LMAO!!! She's different. I like her. The female Drake? Maybe so. Maybe no. We'll see.

Oh and I was ranting on twitter the other day about me listening to one of her songs 5 times back to back :-O and lets just say Twitterville APPROVES THIS MESSAGE! HAH!

eleven8 @ODARA112 YES!!!! thank u & tell a friend...i have made u a Barbie haha

necolebitchie @ODARA112 o m gee you are now a barbie bitch! @nickiminaj would be so proud!

So make sure you check her out, you can cop here mixtapes "Sucka Free" & "Beam Me Up Scotty"; HERE and HERE.

A few of my FAVE songs of the moment....

shout out to Alise for putting me on to that Slum Village song! =)

Hmm...What Else??? Reality TV DUH! LOL!

The Frankie & Neffe Show (BET)

I watched the Neffe & Frankie show last night! And it was WAY better than I expected. I thought it was gonna be just straight up fuckery but they proved me wrong. Maaannnnn let me just say this, we may talk about these chics b/c we're so used to seeing them in a negative light but its amazing to see just how much they've grown & changed over the last couple seasons. And you can say what you want but you can't call either one of these women phony, their about as real as it gets. Definitely gotta give Keyshia her props for standing by her family despite the circumstances, not too many people could walk in her shoes. I guess my only gripe about last night's show was Frankie and her so called "friends". What in the figgity fuck is she doing hanging around men that look like 17yr olds??? I don't get it. I truly hope Neffe reached her in that meeting with their life coach, b/c she's 110% on point. You can change but its also about the company you keep, she's gotta get those negative people out of her life in order to move forward. Oh annnnd um....Did y'all catch Frankie when she said she pays her own bills??? LOL!!! Jigga What??? Jigga Who??? Um yeah....

The Shark Tank (ABC)

Do NOT sleep on this show!!! I honestly thought it was gonna be DULL...WRONG! It kinda puts you in the mindset of that other show that was on a few years back, American Inventor. But the stakes and offers are much more interesting. Entrepreneurs and people with business ventures, innovative ideas etc. get a chance to present their product and possibly have it manufactured and profit from it. The coolest part about this show is that its NOT just talk, the money and the offers are LITERALLY on the table and the contestants only have a few minutes to decide whether or not they'll accept the deals. Ohhhh and what's a reality show without the drama and backstabbing right? Well this shows full of it LOL!

Dating In The Dark (ABC)

What a clever show this is!!!! I actually stumbled across this by accident. It's kinda like a dating experiment type of thing. On each episode they pick 3 women and 3 men, all of which get to interact with each other to see who's most compatible with who. BUT there's a twist!!!! They don't actually get to SEE each other until the end of the experiment. They are LITERALLY sitting in a dark room and are forced to judge each other off of everything except looks! LOL! Which brings new meaning to the term "Love Is Blind".... They each get to chose the person they feel like they've connected the most with then that person is revealed to them in the light! And THAT's the funny part, because the MAJORITY of them change their minds after they see what the other looks like. The thing that KILLS me about this show is that some of them ACTUALLY kiss each other before they even see the person...what the hell??? Sham-YACK! I guess this just brings light to how how vein human nature can be. At the end of the day looks do matter, there HAS to be some type of physical connection, there's no denying that.

eehhh... I think that's all for now, promise to be back soon!

Don't Let The Door Knob Hit Ya...

Welp...I've debated for awhile now on whether or not I was actually going to share this story...and I think it's about that time. I wanted to make sure I was good and OVER it before I confessed...There are specific people who still don't actually "know" about it but hey I've come to terms with it and I'm 110% okay! (I know y'all are like WTF is she yapping about now? LOL)I'm talking about the one thing that I use to think was taboo until it happened to me....

The Day I Got Fired...

This is gonna be an odd one so bare with me...

I'd only been with the company for about 4-5 months and during that short period I can honestly say that it was the MOST stressful ordeal I've ever experienced in MY LIFE...I should've known from the beginning that something was quite "off" with these people but yet I ignored the signs in hopes of starting something "fresh". I was hired as an Admin along with 2 others. One who'd already been there & the other came along shortly after. The funny thing, from day 1 it was never "clear" on what exactly we'd be doing. The only thing I was told is that they needed "a lot" of help around the office. A few weeks had past and I found myself getting quite bored with my position and lack of responsibility. I felt like my skill set wasn't being put to use and I knew if I had any intentions on staying there...something had to be done about this. So I did what any ambitious and goal oriented individual would do....


I decided to have a sit-down with my supervisor. Let's just say she wasn't the most "intellectual" bird on the sidewalk....you know what? Phuck it! she was dumb as a doorknob and had no managerial skills WHATSOEVER! and if I saw her dumb ass on the street today I'd probably stick my foot out and watch her fall! *woosah* Okay so i gave her the spill about how I felt like I needed something more "challenging"and that I was becoming quite bored. So I WILL give her the benefit of doubt because she DID take immediate action in an effort to fix my concerns. She met with myself and a few of the managers that I had been hired to assist. They all came to an agreement that they would indeed "try" to find more for me to do...

Unfortunately, it wasn't for the better...

They started giving me BULLSH!T assignments...I mean dumb ass shit...Now don't get me wrong I knew from jump that being an Admin is like the equivalency of being an "Executive Bellhop" and being treated as a flunky was only to be expected. But when so called "managers" are delegating "tedious" assignments such as sticking tabs on 3 Manila folders or color coding a few labels it only leaves one to believe that either A.) They're insulting my intelligence B.) They really don't have shit for me to do [or] C.) They were fuckin' with me...

I concluded that it was all three...a couple months went by, a few of my tasks picked up but the majority of it was the same bullshit. And honestly my initiative started decreasing because I felt like it was in vain. My supervisor made it no better...she'd hold weekly meetings with the Admins asking how things were coming along and requesting a written report of what we did for the week...lmao..mine was always like 2 sentences of course. And on top of all that this bitch had the audacity to try and micro-manage us...She was on our backs every damn day...if it wasn't one thing it was another...always dumb shit...always get the fuck outta my face type of shit. It was more than obvious that she had ZERO managerial skills and was only "placed" in that position...well the worse got WORSE! Those people were the most meeting having people I have EVER seen in my damn life. Hell I never stayed @ my damn desk because I was ALWAYS in some type of bullshit ass meeting every 30 minutes. Oh and I can't forget I had only been there a total of 4-5 months and had already seen 15 people quit...lmao...and I'm not exaggerating it was literally 15 people I could name ALL of them. And the bad part is that we were a VERY small company...probably less than 40 employees.

Not to mention the people were weird as fuck...One of the other Admins that I'd grown close too was feeling the exact same way as me and we would vent about it daily. She was a little bit more thick skinned than me and tried to encourage & motivate me despite the circumstance. (I still talk to her today) but I was STRESSED...I mean to the point when I was thinking about those people when I went home and when I woke up...It started to take a physical toll on me...I was having headaches, my skin would breakout and my hair wasn't growing...all of which were VERY abnormal for me. My morale was on a downward spiral...

They'd assigned me to support our Technical Staff and boy was that "interesting"...The Director of Technical Support asked me to start attending their weekly meetings so I could get familiar & take the minutes....(oh what a joy) *sigh* So the first couple meetings I'd taken a few notes and to be honest I felt like a fish out of water because I wasn't exactly familiar with the "technical" lingo they were using...but nonetheless I listened and still managed to come up with the best I got from it. Welp...that wasn't good enough...Dude looked over it and told me it wasn't exactly what he was looking for...So I asked him to explain to me what it was he wanted me to make note of...and he nonchalantly responded "I don't really care to go into that..my only suggestion is for you to try and grasp it from listening @ the meetings"...LMAO! all I could think was nigg@ izzz you serious?! I'm coming to you asking what it is that you're looking for and you brush me off?

So I'm like cool, Fuck You...

My morale was already low and shit like that made me not give a damn anymore...I stopped taking notes in his meetings and at one point I even skipped a few...He never said a thing to me about it though. In fact no one EVER said a thing to me about anything I'd done good nor bad. We had an office "Retreat" coming up and I'd already made up my mind that there was no way I wanted to spend outside time with those losers.. (lmao) so I was like fuck it...I'm not going. Oh management was like "we really want you to go Odara..it'll be beneficial and you can get to know some of us better"...I was like blah blah...womp womp! Hell No I Won't Go!!! (lmfao)

So around that time our 90 day job appraisals were coming up and each manager we supported were supposed to write about our work ethic and other dumb shit. So the other two Admins get theirs and they all smiling and shit cause it's a good report I guess. So I brief over mine and it's all bad shit... "she doesn't take initiative"..."she doesn't take meeting minutes"..."she doesn't work well in groups"..."she's a good for nothing bum"...(okay I made the last one up) but that's what they were saying in so many words. So naturally I was offended and got upset...because I felt like no one EVER said shit to me about my work ethic and I was ALWAYS asking for more things to do...so I assumed there's no problem. DUH! (lmao) WRONG! So one of the ditsy ass blond directors goes over the evaluation with me...she expressed her concerns and I expressed mine....I was kinda emotional because I was just taken aback by the way some of them phrased and worded my performance in that evaluation...some of the shit they said was just cold. They made it seem like NOTHING good came from me, I wasn't worth a damn and NEVER did shit...I felt like if that was the case they should've spoke the fuck up along time ago...Now true enough I DID take my time doing some of the simple dumb shit they were giving me because I felt like that shit didn't take priority over some of the REAL work I was doing. When I first started I was bubbly, willing to help and was taking all kinds of "initiative"...but apparently nobody noticed that shit. Whatever...all that shit just gave me more ammunition to continue my job search and get the fuck outta there...

So this office retreat was approaching and they started to take notice that a bunch of people were backing out of going. So all of a sudden they hold a meeting talking about they were making it mandatory that we had to go...Needless to say I'm stubborn and when my mind is set on something that's how shits going down no questions asked.

so I was like....

Pshhhhh...I'm STILL not going...So just to cover my ass I hit up our Corporate Office and spoke with one of the broads in HR to see if making a retreat in the gotdamn woods mandatory was in accordance with policy....I think I had sent her an email prior to this regarding it too...But in so many words she shut my ass down with the quickness and was like "YES, Just go"...So the blond bitch I had a convo with earlier hit me up through email and was like "It's mandatory, and I need to know your decision by the end of the day" (lmao) Once again I'm stubborn so I took my time replying to that bitch and decided I'd respond tomorrow...And at that point I just sucked the shit up and had made up in my mind that I would go...just to save face...I felt like they already didn't like me so why add fuel to the fire...

Well...

Let's just say I think that letter to HR was the beginning of the END...I came in the next day and was having an "average" day considering the circumstances. The day was winding down and it was less than an hour until time for me to get off. At the time I didn't recognize the small things that were about to take place in such a short amount of time...but now that I look back on it...it's so clear...I was sitting @ the front office which was also a shared office and one of the ladies started asking me questions...now we'd talked before but this time it seemed slightly odd. She was asking me shit like if I thought this was a difficult environment to work in yadda yadda...she was asking me about college...what I plan to do when I finish...blah blah blah...I still didn't think anything of it because we'd talked before...and I'd considered her an "alright" person. So shortly after; our Executive Admin came yapping in my face asking me about shit that only I did or knew how to do that involved work. She started asking me for the general passwords I used when I ordered supplies for the company, where I kept keys to shit and other hoopla...she was ALWAYS a fucking pest so I STILL didn't think anything of it...

So probably about 10-15 minutes later...ditsy blond chic (I mentioned earlier) comes to the door asking can she meet with me briefly in the DIRECTOR's office...Like I said before they were ALWAYS having meetings about shit...I thought it was kinda strange that they would get @ me a half hour before it was time to leave but I STILL never put two & two together...I just figured they were gonna reprimand or try to convince my ass to go on the dumb ass retreat...So I get in the Director's office he's sitting behind his desk and ditsy blond is sitting next to an empty seat in front of him and asks me to have a seat...So blond chic is quiet the entire time and lets the Director talk...he starts off by pointing to his telephone and tells me that they have Ms. So & So from Corporate HR on the speaker phone...I'm like ummm okay?! I didn't say shit I just let him talk...Then he goes on to say "Odara you've been with us for like what 3 months now" I interrupt him and say "It's been five"...so he continues "5 months now and we just feel like you don't fit in he-----"....Before he could finish that last word I interrupted him...I smiled and said "so are you letting me go?" ....he smirks and nods yes...

Honestly I reacted differently than I thought I would've...I was really calm and numb during the whole process. So after he nods I proceed to stand up and ask "can I go collect my things now?"...He says yes and the blond chic says "Thanks fo everything Odara"...It happened so quickly I didn't know how to feel...before I walked out of the office the HR Rep, that was still on the speaker phone chimed in and said "wait...I just want to know if Odara understands why and what's going on and do you have any questions or anything to add?" (lmao...like I fuckin' cared why...all I know is they were giving my ass the boot and I wanted to Exit stage left IMMEDIATELY) So I replied to the woman on the other end of the speaker phone and said "I just need to recollect my thoughts and collect my things" she started to speak again but by that time I had already opened the door and headed back to my desk to get my shit....As I walked out of the office I noticed the Executive Admin standing outside her office door which was right next to his...and guess who was standing by her...


Mr. Technical Director himself, who was also the office's only TOKEN black guy..let's just call him "Toby"....They both glanced at me and all I could do was shake my head as I stormed back to my desk. Its funny when I think about it today...I know EXACTLY why they had Toby's ass standing outside that damn door...so fucking typical....They thought the little black girl was gonna lose her cool.....

and do this.....

and big BLACK strong monkey ass Toby was gonna save the day! LMAO...silly rabbit ass fools...like I said in the moment of it all I didn't know how to feel...I was just focused on one thing...which was getting out of that damn building. Thankfully I didn't have anything to pack but my purse and my reading glasses as I grabbed my purse out of the drawer, Ms. Executive Admin comes strutting in saying that she "has to watch me pack" and asked for my office keys.. lmao! I started to throw the keys on the floor but I took the respectful route and handed them to her...So I got my purse in one hand and I remembered that I still had some personal files on the desktop of my computer as well as some photos so I grab the mouse with intentions on deleting the shit....(I know Tech ppl can STILL recover that type of shit if they want to) but I wasn't really thinking...shit I didn't have much time to think. So as I'm dragging shit over to the recycle bin, ole girl says "Please leave the computer as it is" I responded "I have photos that I need to delete"and continue what I'm doing...so she says "Please leave everything alone or else I'm going to have to go get the Director" (lmao) So I told her "You're going to NEED the police"...hahahahaha!!! So I deleted most of my shit and she stood her ass right there and clinched her coffee stained teeth until I finished...the WHOLE time she's apologizing..."I'm really sorry"...."I'm really sorry this had to happen"...I didn't say one word...I stormed passed her and headed towards the door...then I see her ass come around the corner following me..so now I'm getting pissed...

and looking like this....

and she goes "I'm so sorry Odara but I have to walk you to the door"...I was BOILING....not only were you treating me like I stole something, but now you wanna escort my ass to the door???! I could literally feel my neck and face getting hot so I ran towards the door and I hear her heels clicking after me..."GET AWAY FROM ME" I snarled back @ her...lmao! She's steady aplogizing and I finally reach the exit...the door led to a stairwell to outside and she'd already taken my key so there was no way I could've came back up if I wanted to...I remember busting the door open with my knee (hahaha) and I SWEAR I was thinking so irrational by the time that door busted open because all I knew is if she had the AUDACITY to follow my ass down them stairs it was gonna be ME & HER in that BITCH! lmfao...I was gonna push her ass down them concrete stairs...she stopped just as I slammed the door in her face...lucky for her....

So as I'm walking to my car everything starts to hit me @ once...My thoughts were so scrambled and all I could think was shit I JUST BOUGHT A NEW CAR! lmfao! (and they KNEW that too) IDK why that was the ONLY thing that came to my mind...I didn't give a shit about my other bills because hell I stayed with my folks...LOL! So I had parked about 2 blocks over and on my way to the lot the first person I called was my MAMA! (lol) All I remember is her picking up and me saying "They just fired me" then bursting into tears...LOL!!! then she said "Just come home" (lmao...like I had somewhere else to go)....

I can actually laugh at ALL of this as I look back at it now because if anything it definitely was an experience to learn from. I was VERY unhappy there, stressed even cried about it...and I think that was God's way of removing me from the situation. I'm Thankful for it...

The even better part is that I was able to qualify for Unemployment because they reviewed my claim and concluded that since I was NEVER warned that my so called actions could or would lead to a possible dismissal...Woop! Woop!

I never missed a car note...never missed any bill because of it...that's because "the kid" is highly favored *wink*

I even remember the song that was playing in the car as I drove home that day....LOL!!!

Janet Jackson-Control

I Feel Like.....

......Complaining

and I get sick of people saying "you don't have anything to complain about"..."be thankful for what you got"....No STFU cuz I got issues maaaaaan! I feel like being a bitch today with no just cause...I feel like being a grouch...I feel like growling @ the next person who smiles @ me....aren't we ALL entitled to have our "Get The Fuck Outta My Face" Days??? Welp, I have one of those at least once a week...iono maybe i'm pre-menstrual....Hell if I am I wouldn't know it cuz that bitch ain't regular...I don't even remember my last one...

I hate my damn job maaaaan....."Be glad you have a job" (you can STFU and chew on deeeez please) The highlight of my day is leaving work maaaaaan...."Just find another job" (how bout you just suck horse balls through an 'S' shaped straw!!!!) I hate when ppl say "find another job"....BITCH find me one....cuz the last time I checked they weren't just falling from the sky...


Why I think my coworkers be on a mission to fuck with me? Being a Receptionist is a HARD job...sadly it doesn't have to be that way...funny thing is...it's not the work but it's the people that make it so unnecessarily stressful. Why I'm bout to give y'all some prime examples of the reasons why I stay cussing?

If I didn't know no better...I'd swear there was a sign JUST like this one, flashing in neon lights above my head...IDK why err'body thinks the receptionist area is a shrine for the lost & found. Examples......(true stories)

This broad came to my desk handing me an envelope...Only thing on the envelope was our company's siggy and somebody had handwritten a name on the front....oh and I should point out that this was an EMPTY envelope... "I found this in the bathroom, in case someone comes by looking for it" yep...that's exactly what she said as she stuck out her hand to give it to me...

so you know I'm looking @ her ass like this, right?

Here's my damn issue...first off you handing me something YOU found in the BATHROOM?!!!! (you filthy bitch) What in the Figgity Fuck makes you think I wanna touch it??? What in the Figgity Fuck made YOU touch it??? Why is an EMPTY envelope relevant??? Why common sense NEVER kicked in??? Since I deal with dumb asses on the daily my solution is to get them the eff outta my face STAT....so instead of tryna create logic outta her dumb ass actions I just said "alright" and threw that hoe in the trash...she laughed & gave me a light side eye....Da fuck did she expect?

Another dumb ass day...another dumb ass time....

I get in the office early & notice there's a jacket and a cell phone just chillen on the floor...THE FLOOR!!! right in front of my desk....so I glance @ it and walk around it, sit down and mind my damn business...(hell I figured if it belonged to somebody they'd come back to get it) I for damn sure wasn't gonna touch it...so the other receptionist (the winch I can't stand) comes in and notices it on the floor...so she says "oh somebody's phone on the floor"...walked past the shit (like I did) and sat down...(oh yeah the phone even rung a couple times b4 anybody got here) I know what y'all thinking...why they didn't pick it up??!!! I'll tell you why I didn't! Bottom line people do STRANGE things around here...and I really didn't feel like getting involved...Hell for all I know somebody could've been kidnapped or murdered and that was the damn evidence...LOL! Anyway another coworker finally saw it and decided to get his "inspector gadget" on...and you better believe I let him...So he starts scrolling through the phone looking for a name or something and comes to the "brilliant" conclusion that whoever owns it is "Asian"....I just roll my eyes like well whatever then I say maybe it was someone from the cleanup crew? Then I volunteer to send a email out to everybody letting them know they need to come claim they shit if it's theirs....Bout an hour later I get an email from "the usual suspect" talkin bout it's hers, she's not in the office today and can I just put it on her desk?!!!! (and NO she's NOT Asian lol)*blank stare* who DOES shit like that? How do you forget everything you came to work with and then be all calm & collect about it?? WEIRD!

The phones also make me ill...they STAY ringing...

People STAY calling in asking dumb questions...."Is so & so here today?" (nope) "can you connect me with their assistant" (da hell makes u think they got an assistant and they a damn clerk?) "yes am I calling the unemployment office?" (no you're not) "well do you have their number?" (no but I could google it & check my local phonebook; like you should have) "I was just connected to so & so and they're not answering the phone" (silence) "mam you still there?" (yes, did their voicemail system come on?) "yes but I want to talk to them directly so I pressed 0 to get back to you" (mam my suggestion to you would be to leave a voice message so they know that you called them...they probably just stepped away for a sec) "can I hold for them" (mam, I have no way of telling if they've returned to their desk or not) "oh okay can I leave a message with you?" (I will transfer you back to their voicemail *click*)

and on top of the calls & the constant fewls in my face....

somedays I get a shitload of crap to do thrown @ me....although it's nothing I can't handle it STILL bothers me when I start looking @ my paycheck....

somedays I'm happy...most days I'm thankful...

a lot of days I just wanna stomp off and....

I try not to complain....I promise I do try...

But today ain't one of them days....

"Monday Mixxer"

So you guys know I'm a Reality TV Show Junkie!!! And since there's nooooooo way I can RECAP all of them, I'm just gonna take this time out to drop my concerns on some of the shows I do watch....

First up,

MTB4.....or as I like to call it "Diddy Destroying Dreams Pt. 4".....

Personally I think somethings wrong with the boy....

and when I say somethings WRONG...I mean like two chromosomes away from being schizo or bi-polar...It's so obvious that his issues are far beyond what meets the eye.

Exhibit A:

It all started off as a lightweight brawl or misunderstanding he had with a random cab driver who he "claims" disrespected or slammed the door on his girl Dawn's finger...Soooo we all gave him the benefit of doubt right? Because hey they ARE in New York and it's no secret that the Cabbies are RUDE....

hmmm...but here's when we start to get a little bit optimistic over that logic.....

Exhibit B:

So apparently the two "lovebirds" were strolling the "pleasant" streets of the NYC getting their "cupcake" on, when all of a sudden they were JACKED by three unknown assailants who robbed them and took off with their personal belongings....once again I tried to pass this off as maybe a stroke of bad luck? hmmm yeah maybe?!

But soon I began to question my own reasons for trying to make logic out of the remainder of events which soon followed....

Exhibit C:

Exhibit D:

Exhibit...ahh hell I lost count

Notice the TREND in the evidence? Dude is starting beef with EVERYONE!!! and STAYS pointing the finger @ anyone in sight...Now some may blame it on poor "editing" but I call bullsh#t....Que is PARANOID......Fights with cab drivers, three unknown assailants, two of your group members annnnnnnd your MANAGER are NOT all just coincidental...it's something DEEPER and everyone realizes this EXCEPT Que....lol...


I'm just gonna need Dawn to do a better job @ hiding her panties because OBVIOUSLY her boo has been trying them on...LMAO!


Oh and for all you ladies that are madly in love with Lil' Ginuwine "Baby Hair" Jr. AKA Willie...If you're not following him on Twitter you may wanna start -----> Willie_Day26 <------ because for the last couple of days he's been saying that he'll call the first 5 people who drop him their digits via twitter...so if ya' wanna talk to ya boy GET ON IT....PRONTO!!!

Up Next....

Celebrity Apprentice.....

I think it's pretty much safe to say that "raccoon hair" has officially lost his damn mind...So last night each team had to create a commercial for the laundry detergent brand "ALL" using various resources...yeeeeeeeeah the commercials were dumb as hell annnnd the Network HATED their ideas...LOL...so I understand the reasoning behind eliminating two contestants last night since both teams equally SUCKED! But I was in f*cking utter SHOCK @ not just the two ppl he decided to boot BUT the reasoning behind his choices....


Tionne aka T-Boz....He gave her the boot because she volunteered to come back into the board room to support Melissa Rivers. And according to Trump he previously canned a prior contestant for doing the same thing. Made nooooo f*cking sense @ all!!!


Klhoe Kardashian....he brought up her infamous DUI incident which she was charged for in the past and he wasn't amused by the fact that she had once been arrested for this. But he still donated $20k to her charity.

So the whole T-Boz thing was Random & Stoooopid but here's what concerns me about him firing Khloe. For starters he acted as if this was his first time finding out about the whole DUI thing which may be the case.....but in my opinion that's totally HIS fault for not researching her history or doing a background check on the girl...I know it's a game but wouldn't a REAL employer do that? It's not like they asked her about it & she lied...He got rid of two people who were actually assets to the show. His decision was irrational and 100% based on "personal" feelings alone; had absolutely nothing to do with their performance nor their work ethic....(sounds WAY too familiar lmao) needless to say I won't be watching the remainder of this season...it needs a little more "pigment" in it to keep my attention if you know what I mean...LOL


***Sigh***

College Hill....

This is one of the VERY reasons why I stopped watching BET a loooong time ago!!! Besides the fact that the majority of their shows are EXTREMELY dull...when they do have semi-interesting shows it's usually a complete and utter mess...lol...

Geez...this show hasn't been on but a good hot second & ninjas are ALREADY fighting. Which was bound to happen anyway with 8 black folks living in the same damn house...sad but true. This is the VERY same reason why there will NEVER be an all black cast on shows like "The Real World" haha!!! I don't feel like going into great detail about all this nonsense so I'm just gonna drop my concerns on last weeks episode in the form of Why's...(and YES I jacked the why concept from my e-people Bammy & Chrissy over @ 2 Ditzy Broads <-------- It's all love!!! and if you've never peeped their site make sure you go check it out....especially on Why Wednesdays)

• Why...BET keep coming back with more seasons of this show???
  
• Why...they don't comprehend that 8 nigg@s under 1 roof is a disaster waiting to happen???
• Why...it's been a physical altercation EVERY season????
  
• Why...them hoes was arguing over how many pageants they been in???
• Why...they both act like lil' ghetto miss teen usa contestants???
  
• Why...I still don't get how this argument started but I bet it was dumb as fuck???
• Why...I only watched this episode cuz I wanted to see the fight???
  
• Why...I was greatly disappointed @ the outcome of events???
  
• Why...I already knew the lil' Jamaican chic was a lil' Rihanna waiting to happen???
  
• Why...when ole' girl picked up that poole stick my eyes got wide as hell???
  
• Why...I woulda KILT that trick AFTER she put that shit down lmfao! ???
  
• Why...she did ALL that popping off @ the mouth & picking up objects & didn't do shit???
  
• Why...the Jamaican chic jumped in the air when she took off and threw the first hit???
• Why...she only pulled her hair tho???
  
• Why...I was greatly disappointed @ the hair pulling???
• Why...I wanted to see a REAL fight???
  
• Why...I woulda paid to see the ghey dude Kyle whoop boff of they asses???
  
• Why...when island girl pulled Terri's hair I was VERY concerned for her edges???
  
• Why..I wish she was as concerned for her edges as I was since they already looked like victims of abuse???
  

• Why...Me & MissOMG have already concluded that Milan is really Angel Lola Luv in a disguise & a deflated booty???
  

I loooooooooooove the F*ckery!!!
