Sunday morning..my day off...and this ONE asshole here...man!!
I remember when I was very young that not only did my school teacher but also my mother told me that I can BE anything I wanted to be. Not only that, that I can go almost where we unwanted to go too. Going places she said...she said you have to be prepared for whatever might cross your path.
Keeping all that my parents told me, mostly my mother...I've sent out in journeys that took me to places where people dreamed of. I've been to quite a bit of places on this planet of ours. I e experienced quite of bit if things also. It what messes with my head...with all these places I've been to...it's the mentality if the way some people think. I've come to understand that it's not that other people hold you back from doing something, anything..it's the person, they hold their selves back.
Each place you go to have rules, rules that you have to go by. Go against those rules and sometimes you're breaking the law. What I've seen most times it's people themselves, they hold their own selves back. They do this by saying that 'they' won't allow me to do this or that. Not true. You can't be a doctor if you don't go to school first and pass all the test. You can't be a police officer if you're unstable in your way if thinking, have me tal issues. Though in the pass I would beg to differ but it's true. Some people are bought up by their parents way of thinking and living and these same people as young adults don't ever adjust to the present day and way if thinking and living. Take this case..
This guy here... Be goes to a public park and uses the park grill and cooks his own food. It's a White people park..keep that in mind. So yesterday the local police told him that he can't cook out like he's doing and has to stop. The smell if his cooking is disturbing the other people. So this guy makes a big stink if it, he was telling me a little while ago about it. I told him that if people call the police and make a complaint, that the police are just doing their job and he has to stop. Me saying that opened a can of worms.
He says all this madness that it's a free country. This may be true, but there are rules and laws. For one, why are you cooking out every day. He says because he can't it the food they serve here. I told him... Since you have a car, which you do have a large cooler in it, do this.. Get you a room for three days, one if those rooms that has a working stove and cook your food there and store it in your cooler. He says he doesn't have the money for that because he didn't working right now. I said well get a note from your doctor saying that you have to have a special diet and maybe this place will allow you to cook in their kitchen every three days or so. He tells me he isn't going through all of that and that he should be able to cook his food in the park. No, police say you can't, end of story.
So, he is t working now and he works in the same firms I do. He told me the reason why he isn't working is because the people he works for are professional in the work place, his last job was a Deli Clerk. I told him I started off as a Deli Clerk and I enjoyed it so much because it was actually fun. He says the people he works with all they do is talk about people. So fucking what. Do they do their job? He says yes, I said so fucking what. It's a Deli Clerk position, the entry way to working in a real kitchen in a restaurant. He says he can't work around people like that.
Last week he went in an interview for a job at a private school. Said the person interviewing him was asking him questions that had nothing to do with the job. Was asking him about the type of foods he enjoys cooking, and the person interviewing him was telling him about what he enjoys cooking also. But Thai guy said that that conversation has nothing to do with the job and that he thinks he was just being nosey. I told him no, that conversation was to see how you related to people with people, if you can hold a conversation. He says no, he was just trying to find out about him.
I had enough of the 'Kid Gloves' talk with him and told him how I felt. I told him this food service industry is t about being professional all he time, it's about working well with others as a team. If you can't work as part if the team in a Deli, you should get out if the field and try something else. It all came down to how he was brought up by his parents..and a lot of other thungs and issues too.
I told him that you honestly, from just taking with you...you think you're better than everyone else. You're young, but you're living as your parents, how your parents are raised. You have to adjust to this present day and age, you have to adjust your way if thinking because what and how you're thinking now isn't working for you. He tells me to shut up and he's tired if hearing my voice. I laugh.
20 minutes later, he comes back and tells me that the staff here told him to see me about a job, where I work at. I tell him that you won't be a good fit but apply anyway but don't say I sent you, I can't and won't vouch for you, tire on your own. Well me saying that opened another cans of worms, so I got real REAL with him.
Listen do what you want to but don't use my name. Be sure if you do and they ask me about you, I'm going to tell them in a professional way what I think about you. One, you're not a team player, you want to do things in your own. And two, your don't care about this field of work, all you care about is the money. He walks away and says, Black pwoe won't and don't help each other out. I said fuck that and fuck you..and I chewed him a new asshole too. Won't go into want I said, but he wanted to fight. Told him the truth hurts huh? Hurst so much that you want to out your hands in me..go and and do it and you'll be going to jail.
I'm not letting any person run me out or away from what I have to do.
