....so since 2010 began, I've been going through a lot of changes.
I was terminated from my job for some bullshit...
...funny thing is - I knew it was going to happen....
Those "management" people except one never liked me because of my attitude. I'm not one to kiss anybody's ass or bend over backwards unless it's needed/deserved...and they didn't like that. I did my job, I did it right and to me that's all that matters. Past couple months this one female manager who never liked me, without ever knowing or working with me, began to nitpick at everything I did whether it was right or wrong..
In a nutshell, my reason for being let go was because of an operational mistake. A foreign check that I properly submitted and processed, called back office to assist me, had HER sign off on and double check - somehow doesn't reach its destination...they have to credit the customer of the check they now claim they know nothing about, the bank takes a loss and in turn - I get the boot.
It's a blessing in disguise though...I didn't like the job or the people....If you follow me on Twitter I was ALWAYS talking shit about everybody even the customers that irked my life.
As of now, I have no clue what the blessing is that will come from this, but I'm willing to be patient to see what is to come.
With the free time I've devoted more time into school. I've signed up for more classes in hopes of attaining my degree at a faster pace. While on this job search it's very noticeable you need a Bachelors to simply work at T.G.I.Fridays much less a job with substance unless you're well connected or extremely lucky. I'm going to take this time to not only excel in learning, but to hone my networking skills...a lot of times opportunities are found through people you know...so I need to expand my associates for networking purposes. It's a bit out of my comfort zone since my ideal situation is to stay off the radar and stick with my immediate circle of individuals...but in order to get new results - I must be willing to do and try new things.
In the midst of that drastic change in lifestyle, I was propositioned and have embarked on a relationship. It's been a LONG time since I even thought of taking anyone seriously...it was also another reason why I went on my self improvement regime to rid my self of any ill feelings prior relationships and dealings with men may have caused...even when the idea came up I was still apprehensive, but I'm taking the chance anyway. With the free time I normally wouldn't have if I were working, it's giving us ample time and a chance to really delve into knowing all the ins and outs of each other to build on what we learned when we were just friends. It's early but we're very supportive of each other, and so far things are well and hopefully they continue to be that way. It's a very different situation and I'm interested in seeing where this may go.
I've recently been frequenting many open mics in the Northeast region. There are A LOT of talented people out there. It's a shame many aren't heard more prevalently but it's great to know there are many venues and outlets that appreciate and welcome these individuals. The more I attend them the more I feel obliged to participate. As much as I write, I don't see why not...People compliment my work but I don't have the balls for it....I've already made a commitment to perform one time in December....but I'm building up the strength to try it on another occasion....at least before the summer is over I'd like to have done so 3 times....like once a month or so to get my feet wet and get the nerves to relax.
I really need to get on my shit and update this consistently...I have the 'ok' to get a co-sign from many other great bloggers and gain some support...but I want to have a well oiled machine going..I don't wanna advertise some bullshit. I have recognized my 3 main keywords for this blog...which is Music, Literature, & Life.
Well...that's enough about me...I'll catch ya'll on the flipside or you can always spot me on >> Twitter <<
..follow me and speak - I don't bite, unless you like that shit *shrug*
