Ranting

So a couple of things..I hate my Job! I've actually never before this Job had a Job I hated. I've enjoyed every single one of my jobs, except this one and to put it simply its because...oh my God, there's so many reasons..Like the ppl are fake as hell and I know that is so high school..In fact I hate using the word fake to describe anything but they claim to be so "progressive" or present themselves in that manner but they are so backward in ways that matter that it is really really annoying..I hate people like that! Just be who you are dammit! I am me, I don't even know what progressive me is although ppl would describe me as that, I am me, I believe that you should treat people the way you want to be treated, But at the same time, I know I do a lot of things wrong, I curse and sometimes I don't do the write thing, but I don't claim to be anything but imperfect! You know in the Bible in the new testament that Jesus disguised as a beggar, comes to a man and the man treats him horribly, I try to remember that in my daily interactions..It may be corny, but that's how I do. I believe that if we all tried and learned to function like that, this world would be a better place..but people at my Job don't function like that, its a doggy dog world here in the NPO scene, to each his own. The person they think cares about their Job the most is the one that cries and acts hella dramatic..and I try not to do or be that, and to end this rant..just to give you an example of the inconsideration level at this place, my boss and I check twice a week, early in the morning and I was told off in a text message once because I was running late {Mind you she's late almost all the time} and she told me that "I should always assume that we are checking in, and she doesn't know why I didn't think we would, and that I need to be on time"..well after receiving this rash warning, i decided that I am going to be on time for all check-ins after, and I have except just this week alone she's been late TWICE! 15 Minutes and 40 Minutes..WTF?? Thoughts???


In other news...I was on the bus today, and this woman was reading a magazine I believe THE ATLANTIC and the cover page had a picture of Obama and it read "The End of White America"! Okay, so people let's get this right. This man is remarkable, he's accomplished a tremendous amount and plain and simple he seems like a good dude and I am believe in Barrack..but Barrack is an answer to some problems in America (primarily that Bush is Out and McCain isn't in) but he is not the answer to all of Our problems! "This moment is historic indeed, and it is true that this multi-racial, multi-class embrace of Obama shatters the mainstream currency that old brand of racial exclusion and hatred At the same time, it's important to keep in mind two things: that hostile, categorical exclusion of blacks has been on the wane for quite some time; and that racial inequality remains, though in less blatant, overt. The powerful impact of the civil rights mandate for social, political and cultural integration has rendered bizarre the kind of exclusions and raw hatred that was normal fewer than 35 years ago." (Professor Tricia Rose http://www.triciarose.com/). Obama has made the presidency a true and real reality for people of color in America..after he was elected..I remember my Dad calling me and saying "Anything Is Possible" and I guess that is what Obama has restored in America. That sentiment, that audacity to believe that anything is possible, that it is possible for this world to be a better place, that people can live harmonically, shit...that peace is possible in the Middle East, but to be clear, equality is not a reality in America as of yet, but he has renewed our energy to continue to work hard towards it, for a few years it was looking bleak!
