Memorial Day

My ex asked me why am I working on this holiday. I asked her, why didn't
she serve her country since she lives in it. She gave me a dumb ass look
too.

I work cause I have a fucking' job. I work cause that's what you're
suppose to do...work !!. People call in 'grinding', fuck that, its work.
Young people call it grinding cause they know no better.

What else bothers me how these 'project' looking light skinned women,
cause they look different, they think they are different. Alway wanna be
up in the club. You're ass need to be up in a book or two reading.

And, I've noticed a lot of young to older adults that are drinking more
and more. First of all sweetheart, I can tell if you're a heavy
drinker,I can smell it coming out of your pores. Your skin complexion,
yeah that changes also. I don't know where you get off thinking that
shit is cute thinking you're grown, cause your ass is drunk all the
time. That's why you do go to the club, just for free drinks.

Knew Something Was Wrong

So my housemates left for DR late last night. I go to work, left at 4am.
I get home and my room door is broken, room is a mess. I g and search
thru the house, 2 tv's messing and a dvr, plus my housemates 2 laptops.
I carried mine withe this morning. Called the police and filed a report.
The front door isn't broken into, so some one had the keys. I text her,
but she hasn't answered yet. Gonna call in a few. $60 and 2 weekly metro
cards missing from my room. MAN !!

I Don't Know Sometimes

I have 3 active phone numbers, 2 cell and one home phone number which is
magicjack. All have voice mail. So please explain to me that why people
don't know how to use voicemail.

If I don't answer the phone, leave a message. Not a message to call you
back, but a message with what you have to say cause I do check my
voicemail. I won't call back if you leave a message to call you back.
Not unless your family.

First, my supervisor called me, and told me to call him back. I didn't
understand what he was saying, so I didn't call back cause he didn't
leave a message other than to call him back. So I go into work on
Sunday, which I wasn't suppose to do. Not my fault, should've left a
message saying not to come in. So, I stayed at work for 2 hours, and
then was told not to work, I'm off today. Oh well.

When I call some one and it goes to voicemail, I leave a message like
normal people do.

About Tom..

Tom is a 25 year old White coworker, who lives in Washington Heights. He
shares a 2 bedroom apartment, the apt goes for 920. Wow, wish I could
find something like that.

Tom is on some shit. Shit, meaning he believes that the government has
too much say so in people's everyday life. He also believes that the
'working class', should, no, NEEDS to take over the government as we
know it. So I asked him, who would then be in charge? He says we all
will. I find that a little too bit hard to believe. Everyone would want
to be in charge, everyone would want the perks that comes with being in
charge. I told him this, but he won't and doesn't believe me.

Tom also believes that like in other countries, how the people took over
the government, he believes that that too can happen here. I don't think
so Tom. He has even went as far as giving me this newspaper..heis part
of a group called The Militant. I have to give him a dollar next week
for it, but I'm going to read it from cover to cover. I will take notes
andI will blog about it.

Thursday, May 26th..4:25am

Will someone please explain to me, how you place someone in charge and
they don't speak English. Had meeting yesterday and the Supervisor, who
doesn't speak English told me that when he isn't here, this other person
who ALSO doesn't speak English, is in charge. The meeting was in the
break room, so other English speaking people who walked by, say him
speaking Spanish to our group. They asked me did I know what was being
said, and I didn't. They all laughed at me, I laughed also. At this job,
I am the minority.

Judgement Day, May 21, 2011

I mention this now, cause I'm sitting on the F train and right straight
across from one of those ads this guy spent his life says on. In the old
days on the train, I would have just said excuse me, and pulled the
placard right off the side of the train. New trains, you can't do that
anymore. Those ads are collectors items now I bet.

Like I said,I was looking forward to Judgement Day, in a way. I see it
like this, it was either or. Either I was gonna be one of those people
that actually got to stand right beside God, or, I was going to Hell. No
more bills, sickness, worries, crime. Or,be in constant pain all the
time, heat, gloom, fire and darkness.

But it does look like these are the beginning of the end of all days
though. Look at the mid west. Isn't that called the Bible Belt? With the
weather acting like it is, its scary out there.

Monday, May 23rd...4:40am

There are 2 bars across the 2 way street where I live. I left the house
at 4:30am and outside it was like it was the middle of the day.But, I
noticed something. Even though there were a lot of Spanish speaking men,
there were more Spanish speaking women too. Most of the men were drunk,
and none of the women were. Another thing, there was 2 to 3 women
talking to each man. That lead me to believe this... there is a lot of
whoring going on at this time ofthe morning.

I see it like this. Times are hard even if you are of illegaly
documented alien. The males aren't finding as much employment as before,
so its the women that have to pick up the slack. I looked at the womens
I walked by, pretty, nice bodies and all. They didn't even pay me any
attention as I walked by though. Next early Monday morning I'm going to
say something to a few of them and see what happens.
--michaelchappell

Sunday, May 22nd, 3:49pm....

Like clock out time WAS suppose to be at 2pm. But they said I had to
break down my boxes and put them outside. That's...100 cases of apples,
18 cases of celery, 5 bags of carrots and...11 cases of beets to break
down, tie up and put out.

They think I'm playing with this staying past my posted time to work.
I'm NOT !! I don't care. Put it on paper if you want me to stay later,
besides.. There was only 4 of us and we propped for the night people and
the day people for tomorrow. Shit is mad. Then the Supervisor comes in
the back door to make sure everything was done.

2 guys cut up 149 cases of pineapples that were already peeled from
yesterday, my day off. Then they had to do 50 cases of lemons, peel
them. They got some help at 1pm, the Supervisor came in and helped them
with the lemons. The other guy, which is a female, she did 30 cases of
kale, 15 small boxes of mint and 15 cases of cucumbers. All in all, I
had the hardest job, but to me it was easy.

I enjoy doing this job cause no one talks to me, they don't speak
English that well, so I'm focus n what I'm doing. There is about 5 black
guys working in shipping, they started off where I'm working at. I was
told they couldn't handle the volume, so they moved them to shipping.
Strange thing is, they were 3 white guys doing a job that 5 black guys
do now. The white guys are their supervisor. I pointed that out to
them,and they gave me this dumb ass look. Only goes to prove...

Being that the Managers are off cause its Sunday, the guys in shipping
were taking mad ass breaks, going outside in back t smoke cigarettes.
While they pass thru, they holla at me. FUCKERS !!

I Know This Woman, Who Is a Whore, and...

I know this woman who is a whore. I mean she looks VERY well.Nice
clothes,smells and looks good. Every now and then I run into her, we
chat. One day I ask her when can I get a taste, not a fuck, but to make
love to her. She said she would like that.

So we made arrangements at her place. She called me over one night. She
says to me, lets see what you got, so we get to getting it on. I was
enjoying myself and her and it looked like she was enjoying it also. 3
days go by and one of her girlfriends called me. She said you and her
got together right, She wants to know when am I gonna pay her. WTF ? I
was suppose to pay? I mean if I had said I was, I would've right on the
spot. I explained to her girlfriend what the deal was. Next day,
girlfriend calls me and wants to hookup with me, no problem. I ask is
she gonna pay me, cause I'm not paying for her. She says she wants to
take a test drive.

We hookup and now she is all over me claiming me as her man, something
that I'm not going for. Sex with her was great, but not as great as with
her friend. The first woman called me last night, telling me of the
mixed up that she thought was suppose to be, could I come over. I went
and we hooked up again.this time I made sure what was what. She tells me
that she has saved quite a bit of money and she is ready to settle down,
find a job and shit. I tell her that's good, but not with me, I could be
her friend. But she wants more than that. Can't give her anything more
than just friends.
--michaelchappell

Sunday, May 22nd.The Day After

For some reason,I was hoping this rapture thingy was really gonna
happen. I was hoping that all the pain and shit was gonna end and then
some of us could move on to bigger and better things. But as you can
see, it didn't happen. Bummer.

You would figure that there would be more people in the streets yelling
how the end of times is among us. That didn't happen either. Feel kind
of sorry for the guy who spent 140K on billboards and advertising. Him
spending all that money, his life savings..bet he wish it was to happen
though.
--michaelchappell

May 19th..Continued

Was approach at work by HR department spokesperson. It seems that the
people there are using others people's social security numbers. They cut
loose 20 hard ass working people, oh well. Then I was told that Starting
Monday, the job will be closed for 7 days for painting.

The Hr person then came back and asked me did I know anyone who would
want to work in a deli for a friend of hers. I said I will, but it has o
be after 3pm. So, on Monday I start working at a deli for 7 hrs a day,
6b days a week. SWEET !!
--michaelchappell

Thursday, May 19th

You know....sometimes I try to help people out who are not capable of
doing for themselves sometimes. I mean, they want to..lets say work, but
don't have the resources. To me doing a job search for some one else is
nothing. Set up an email account that I have access to, copy,paste,
send. All that person has to do is write out their job history, simple.
Well not all the time it is.

Its like pulling teeth trying to get them to write it out. And finally
when I do get it, they call over and over asking how come they haven't
got any calls. But when they get an email, I call them and tell them to
call that number to set up an interview, they give me a sob story. All
kinds of excuses. I was told that I should charge a dollar a day, min, 5
days. I should, but that 5 dollars is transportation money and I can't
seem to do it.

I have this one person, his resume looks impressive, but he wants to add
and take away something. Told him to open Word, select/highlight it,
copy and paste it in note
pad and email it to me. It was as though I was speaking Russian to him.
Wants me to call him to walk him through it. Told him go to the library
and ask them to do it for you, or ask them to scan and then email it to
me. That messed his head all up, thought I heard it explode.
--michaelchappell

The Work Force

I finally figure this work shit out...well sort of. But before I get
into that, it, that's if I get around to talking about it. I want to
talk about something else.

Remember in public shool, Junior High School and High School, how you
always had an English Class. How you 'had' to pass hat class, or you
would get left back, held back a grade. English class at that time was
one of the hardest classes for me to pass. I enjoyed threading part
greatly, it was just the nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and so on and so
on. Who would have figured back then that we were learning he basics of
human speech, how to talk proper. Fast forward now to present day. You
won't believe the madness thats happening now. But, I will try to
explain it.

First of all, what's this English as a second language bullshit. You in
America, you speak English as your primary language. I work with nothing
but Mexicans, I swear, I'm not gonna even try and speak Spanish to
them,that's not my language PERIOD !!! One of the Supervisors who isn't
Spanish, but from another country, but , speaks perfect English,went to
one of the Mexicans guys to EXPLAIN to me what he wanted done. I took
offense to that bullshit. I pulled the Supervisor to the side and told
him, I was born here, I'm of NO Spanish decent, I do speak and
UNDERSTAND English. He said he didn't know, that I don't look American.
WTF ??!! Plus he said that I speak like I'm from not around here, New
York City. I told him I wasn't raised in the streets, I have some but no
a lot of education and I've traveled the world. He said he was sorry.

My question, when did English become NOT so important to know and learn
? These people of Latin decent, what, did they not submit a resume to
get an interview? Oh, I see, they were hired from word of mouth. But not
everyone, fits into this category. It just amazes me sometimes.
--michaelchappell

Just Some.....

Yesterday, I was standing in front of where I live, and a ex coworker
walked by talking with a woman. A female ex coworker that is. I mean she
looked right into my face, and an expression came over her face that
shocked me. It was one of, don't say anything to me right now, please
don't. This ex coworker isn't from this country and her religion and
beliefs are different, she's Muslim.

15 minutes later, I get a text from her, asking me what am I doing,could
I meet her. I said ok. First thing I said when I saw her was why she
didn't say hello, cause I know you saw who I was. She told me that she
was with her Aunt, and her Aunt doesn't allow her to speak to people
out in the street, what ?!!

She went on to explain it to me, but I wasn't paying any of that
attention. I was too focus on how some one else can tell another person
how to act when they are out in public. I felt sorry for her. This is
the same Aunt who when we were working together, use to take all of her
paycheck every week. The same Aunt who made her babysit after she put in
a 9 hour workday. I asked did she still live with her, and she said yes
and that her Aunt's husband has started coming into her bedroom making
advances towards her. She can't tell her Aunt, cause she won't believe
her, so she lets it go. This isn't the first time something like this
has happened with a female coworker of mine.

I can understand that in order to come from another country to this
country, you must have some one represent you, more or less a family
member. To me, all that family member sees is an additional source of
income and will do anything to take what that person has worked for away
from them. But the person that its happening to, doesn't see, or has
already agreed to some crazy ass terms in order to come to this country.
Shit is stupid if you ask me. But I see that shit more and more each
time.

Try talking some knowledge into her, and she goes on her religion, which
I can understand. One of my other coworkers told her Aunt what her
husband was doing, and she threw her out. She stayed with me for 2
nights until they found out where shews staying.

Some people take advantage of others and that's not good at all.

Wait a Minute

This guy I know, I always thought he was gay, not that there is anything
wrong with it. Well, he text me saying that he wanted to take me out to
dinner. So I called him and asked him what was really up. He tried to
play it off like all it is is dinner, nothing else. I tell him right. So
I come out and ask him, what, you want me to fuck you in the ass? That
opened a can of worms.

To be honest, I'm not gonna lie, never did a guy before or anything. I'm
not gay or even bi have you. So I tell him, if my dick gets hard, you're
fucked. I don't know why I said that to him cause he goes into saying oh
I can get it right and shit. I don't think so. Dinner is planned 2weeks
from today. Then he says, oh you're a cook, how about he buys the food,
and I make it. I tell him no, you invited me out to dinner, that's where
we are going.

Hour later, a female coworker of his calls me, she knows me too. Says
can she come along for dinner too? So I explain to her what this guy is
trying to do, she tells me she knows, that he asks her to come along
too. Then she ask me if I'm gonna go ahead with it if things get heated
up. I ask her will she be in the bed room too? She ask me do I want her
there...YES !! Now she is looking forward to this night, tells me don't
chicken out. From what I remember of her, she finer than frog hair, so
its gonna def be on between her and I, him and me..now that's a
different story.

He text me back with all this shit about, how he can't wait, that he
doesn't want her, he just wants me, but he will let me enjoy her to a
certain point, then I have to switch to him. First of all, aint nothing
going in my ass. 2nd, don't know what's gonna happen between him and I,
we will see.
--michaelchappell

?????

So, she said she wants to come and spend my days off with me. I have no
problem with that. Hope she doesn't expect anything special to happen.
I'm really, really tired though.

Had a convo with my 25 year old housemate... while she was in this short
short bathrobe...standing in my room. Then she sat on the bed. I always
ask her why she doesn't have a bf, now I know. She is ashamed on how her
body looks, this is coming from her, out of her mouth. I asked what she
does for sex like when she gets horny. No answer, so I told her, just
come into y room anytime, day or night.you don't have to say a word.
Started to ask her to open her bathrobe, next time I will though.
--michaelchappell

Soe People will just About Go For Anything

I try and I do mean try to be honest with people. But with some, you
have to tell a white lie. A not so true statement so that you don't hurt
their feelings. But, if you're gonna be an asshole about certain things,
well..'Fuck ya feelings'.

Like this woman who wants me to be her steady man. I told her, that
right now, I'm not ready to settle down. She said, but I was ready to
get in her pants. So, I told her the truth. I don't like coming to your
home, place cause it doesn't smell clean, smells like roaches. Also,
your bathroom is nasty. I'm not sorry about saying any of it either. She
had the nerve to say, then we can always go to an hotel. What tha fuck,
I'm paying 600 a month for where I sleep at, not paying 80 dollars for 4
hours are you fucking stupid.

Besides, she isn't in school, nor does she work. To be honest, her 22
year old daughter gave me her telephone number, told me to call her
sometimes.I told her straight up, well I'm fucking your mother. She said
when you're finished, call her.

Some people's kids.
--michaelchappell

I Have To Speak About This

One of my housemates, her name is Fanny. 25 years old and has a daughter
that's 5 years old but she doesn't live with her. She isn't even in this
country, she's with her Grandmother in the Dominican Republic.

Fanny says she wants a better paying job,a job with more hours. So I
told her, asked her did she have a resume. She didn't. So, I went along
with helping her put one together. First off, I have no time for people
who don't want to help themselves. I should have quit while was ahead,
but since I said I would help her, I did. For one, I don't know how she
made it this far along in her life, or its just me. Getting the
information from her to start her resume was like pulling teeth.

After I had it all together, then she asked me could I help her with
finding a job. She told me she wanted to apply to one of theses home
improvement super stores, which had to be done online. That meant
setting up an account. Then, you have to take an assessment test, all
this I did for her without her knowing about it. The store emailed her,
they wanted her to call a number and speak with a rep.

She came into my room and made the call from.her cell phone. Straight
boff from the start, she was pissing me off. She was on the phone for an
hour, which really, should have been 15, 20 minutes tops. After her
call, I explained something to her. I told her she has to speak up, stop
acting like you're the shy type of person cause that shit doesn't cut
it out there in the workforce.

Thanks to me, she is now working at this store. She didn't so anything
but answered a a few questions on the phone. The hardest part was me
doing everything online FOR her. I told her she either owes me a lap
dance or a decent 20 minute fuck, she choose one. Hey, my services
aren't free.
--michaelchappell

Shit Makes Me Wonder at Times

I know one thing, the food industry, mostly have people of Spanish
decent working in it. I can count the Black people working for this
company on one hand, everyone else is Spanish.

What tripped me out was that my supervisor came and asked me was I a
friend of a person who works here. I said know. He asked me how I know
about the job I said online, he said, well you must be good cause they
don't hire online people.

My resume can be long, but I choose to only place last 4 jobs that I had
on it. But when filling out an application, I have an 'intense' resume
that I print out that's 4 pages long. I did it myself, and I attach it
to the application. Most people who interview me get this look on their
face when I attach that resume. I mean, it can be a lot to look at and
handle. Also, the interviewer always ask why I want this job. I say
cause its something I never done before and its part of , and will have
me working with food in a different aspect. I tend to find jobs very
easy.

I tell people who ask me, what can that do, or how can they break into
the food industry. I always tell them to take any job that's has a
posting or hiring for dishwasher. But before that, try applying for a
deli job even though you have no experience. Tell them you WANT to
learn,and learn everything they teach you. Don't be afraid to ask
questions. Also, don't be afraid of the slicing machine. Yeah, you can
cut your fingers completely off, just hope the machine blade is VERY
sharp. This way you won't feel the bladee slicing your fingers off.
