Involuntary Motion And I'm Rolling Down Hill...
"...Before I knew anything that is what I said. What is happening to me? I never used to be so verbally violent. I must make some changes before I lose myself completely and end up not even recognizing myself."
10:00pm Wednesday night....
I made it to work at my normal time and proceeded to the break room to eat my McDonald's salad and have some light conversation with one of my co~workers...when...I will call her "brawd #1" came up to me and told me how pretty she thought my coat was. Now "brawd #1" barely has 2 words to say to me on any other night, so this was a shock. However your girl just went with the flow..I mean it's not my fault she is bi~polar. Anyway, I say thank you and offer her some of my salad...I mean I was trying to act like I was interested in her impromptu conversation. Well she exits stage right and then enters...were gonna call her "brawd #2" (the chick that can never seem to remember my d*mn name) and she says..."Hello" now by this time I done re~decorated the lunch room table with mountain dew as I was shocked at her even speaking to me at all! Well I say hello back and that was that...or so I thought. I know when ish is too good to be true folks...that's why I don't fall for the oke doke when it comes to certain things. I mean everytime I give these brawds the benefit of the doubt...they prove me right about them everytime.
"...But she hit me Mrs. XXXX! Not like a little tap as if to say "excuse me" or something...but like "oooh I can't stand you" type ish. By the time this happen I felt like I had no other choice but to make this decision. I do believe it is for the best."
4:30am Thursday morning....
At around this time I am re~associating my batches from earlier that night/morning, and because it comes off the machine rather fast, ppl will bring your work to you in order to keep it flowing smoothly. Well "brawd #2" comes up behind me and...hits me with said work...WTF? now you know ppl...once you get hit whether it was on purpose or by accident, your first instinct is to jump up or turn around real quick and sharp like...so you can find out what the hell just had happen. Well I jump up out of my seat and asked her why did she hit me like that. Her response was..."I thought you didn't hear me cause of your headphones." Naw Tommy!!!! she meant to hit me! Letting that ish slide, I sit back down and continue to work...for you see I was getting off soon and that was driving me at that moment to chill the freak out!
"...Come on now....throwing my work! How freakin childish can one person be. I mean she obviously has a problem with me...so why bring my work to me in the first place...right? I had no choice."
6:15am Thursday morning....
I am sitting at my desk counting the ticks and tocks on the clock thinking about my bed and how warm it's gonna feel up against my skin when....papers come flying at me. WTF? I turn around to see this lanky, sloopfooted, tacky dressed female walk away from my desk...just then I got up and said..."What is your problem?" She stopped and turn back and said..."You..." Okay folks by this time I am like so through with the whole thing that I sit back down and start to pack up my ish so I can go home. Well "brawd #2" wasn't done...nooooooo, she still had something she wanted to tell me baby! "What you got something you wanna say?" ("brawd #2 in my face)
"Chick, you better get the hell out of my face...before you suffer the repercussions of your latter choice." The latter choice being if she had chose to stay in my face folks!
"...See what I mean? I don't even recognize myself anymore...I am sweet as pie...I wouldn't hurt a fly. That was my Mother and Sister talking right then. I have truly enjoyed my experience here, and will take what I have learned to my next position...but I can no longer work here Mrs. XXXXX. I am giving you my two weeks notice as of today. My soul is at stake!"
9:10am Thursday Morning....
As I sit here at my beloved computer typing this post in my blog, I take a look around my room and think about all the things that will need to be paid once I am unemployed and you know what? I am okay...I know that I made the right decision and that my Father will provide my every need. I need to go back to school and finish my "Career...not JOB" classes anyway and I can do some temping until my Father opens another door unto me. Sometimes in life you have to be true to who you are and make decision's that can only be seen with your spiritual eyes...I did that today and I feel just fine about it too! I wanna be able to look in the mirror and say.."Hello Dee~Dee..." and love the person I see.
But Don't Cry For Me Argentina! I'll Be Fine...:)

slappin that brawd. I know I do.
I aint tryin to preach ma, just my two cents, thats all.....
You get a standing ovation from me girl! For having the courage to take a leap! I applaud you! I am on the verge of a similar journey and you have reinforced the importance of it by your actions. Great things await you, ma!
Blessings! Tif
I will hold them for now.
But how can I be so upset when you are not. So again, I am praying for you and I hope that all become well.
Kudos to you for standing up for yourself. I've had to do the same thing myself, plus I make sure shady management thinks that I, Ladylee, am just a bit "touched", i.e., "don't mess with her, she's crazy."
Go ahead and finish school, Ma! On with the next chapter of your wonderful life! I too have had to temp in the past, and it definitely is a means to an end...You'll look back on that ish one day and laugh!!
Wow.
I don't even know where to begin.
Wow.
Ok, I can't do this right now.
You will be fine, though.
Peace & Blessings

I know who you are now!!! "No worries" sort of gave it away:)
I knew it had to be someone with a special desernment...Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement...they mean the world to me:)

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are bad people it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.
Sage advice from "The Bishop" himself. And in this case, the gig is up. Such sagaciousness from Proactiff;).
And my Spirit feels totally AT PEACE with what your Spirit ended with.
Argentina ain't crying,

So here's to next levels, and closed doors
(with stink jealous folks behind them!)
