I believe that every one in this country has the right to work and earn a living. I don't care how you came to this country, but if you want to work, then you should be able. What I have a problem with is those that...lets say, want to do things their own way.

Listen, I have been in my foeld for a very long time. I know a lot about what I do. What I do isn't that hard to learn AND do. What the hardest part is ? Its working with others. See, some people figure that since they have the time in, that they can basically do whatever they feel like doing. In most cases, and fields this is true...all except mine's. In my field we are suppose to work as a team, with each member having his or her own function to accomplish. This doesn't always work out that way. Its like that in any field also, but what most people do is..they overlook others short comings. But not me.

If you work any type of Line Work, meaning that your job function depends on other accomplishing their job function, you MUST do your share. Walking off the Line at a crucial part of...lets say LUNCH, going to do whatever the fuck you THINK is important, isn't going to get it. So, if I have to come over and cover your function, don't catch a fucking attitude when I do so, have you God Damn Ass where you're suppose to be. On that point, I still say some people are like sheep, lemming..they will just go along with just about anything. They are so afraid about speaking out. Another thing is, and I found this out too, they think that their co workers will have their back even if they are wrong, not true. Those same co workers will do the "I didn't see what happened, I wasn't in the room". That wasn't said concerning me, but said co worker called in another co worker, their friend and thought they they would side with them. Kitchen Politics !!

On another note. My breaks at wok, 10am & 11am coincide with 2 TV shows, Maury and Jerry Springer. In the break room, we..who ever is in there, watch it. It just so happens a young lady, who plays for the 'other team'..was just her and I in there. It was Jerry Springer. Guy said that it was just sex they had, she got pregnant, he said and told the woman that he was going to try and make the relationship work just because of the kid, but he was there on the show to tell the woman that he doesn't want her, but will be and support the child ONLY. The woman in the break room with me went on a tear. Thats how you men are...she didn't use the term 'men', she said niggas. Thats why you niggas ain't shit. I said, cause I thought she was referring to me, I said well at least he was being honest and some women just can't handle the truth when its being told. The she said this.... "My whole persona is that I should be with a White Woman, that I don't act or talk like I'm Black".

Any other time I would have went off, but I understood where she was coming from. True, I don't think, nor act like your typical Black Man, I wonder why? Is it because at an early age I got out of the neighborhood and saw the world? That I got the chance at an early age to see how the rest of the world lives and acts? I explained all of this to her. I told her if you want to see something different, DO something DIFFERENT and GO somewhere different. There was a lot more I could have said to her ABOUT her, and ABOUT what I SEE OF HER as she felt so FREE TO DO WITH ME, but that would have...lets say opened a CASE of worms, not a can mind you. But I left her with this. I told her that you are so use to seeing Black young adults with their pants hanging off their asses, wearing either, black, grey, blue or red, that you KNOW of nothing different. Go somewhere where they don't know of a typical New York woman or man. Go to that place a represent where you are from, and what your parents have taught you, be at that place for a good amount of time. Then return to your neighborhood and watch ALL that is around you. You will see a change not only in what you have seen in the past, but you will see the change in you. Your friends will look at you completely different because you are talking funny, acting funny, dressing funny. You are a product of your environment, but if you change your environment every so often, you will find that the people who see you differently.. you will see then as being ALWAYS the same. All she said was..'You're right'.

Truth be told, I'm going to have a great day at work today for one reason only. That is because I am working if anything else.
