....now wait just a minute

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, j...

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 !! --michaelchappell

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. --michaelchappell

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...

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. --michaelchappell

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. --michaelchappell

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

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 j...

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 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

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

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 ...

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 langua...

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 o...

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 i...

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

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 fuckin...

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 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 ver...
