Tuesday...

...is my Monday. On Mondays, which I love, I can't wait until I get to work. It's so that I can start the work week. But since I'm off on Mondays...Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week. Until... We get our food order on Tuesdays. We can't really start doing any prep work or cooking until the truck makes it's delivery. Being that Monday was a holiday, I KNEW something was going to happen, and it did. Started with the driver texting one of the other cooks that the truck would be late, usually comes around 11 am, we start work at 10 am. Said the truck would be there at 11:45 am, that's REALLY late. 680 pounds, 15 cases of chicken breast have to be cleaned, cooked and sliced on Tuesday to assemble on Wednesday. Projected time we leave...9 pm. Truck didn't come until 1:45 pm  o.O So, we looking at a time of leaving...around 10 10:30 pm, until it was suggested.. We just clean the chicken and be at work at 6am. 2 people come in at that time with me being on...

Sometimes, You Have to Let Them Know.

There are some people in this world that ONLY know how things are 'suppose' to go because they have ONLY read what they have read in BOOKS. Until you actually come face to face with the situation...LISTEN to the other voices in the room...then respond or act. If a person brings you a product and that product seems to work for you, tell me why would you change the product TO something LESS. This happened 2 times and each time, I didn't like the product. I overheard the 'spiel', the 'game'...'the talk' and he fell for it. Proof came after the process and it came to me. I didn't like it across the board. Not only that, that isn't what you advertised either, that isn't or wasn't the same look that get the people to order it.  Though The Barker said whatever he had to say to talk you into buying it, I knew the 2nd time he came in that something was up. Hey, if I don't like it, they is a problem. Then again, it isn't my checkbook....

A Graduate

I know in my past post I sort of...well I myself can't see the idea of me even going to college. My schooling was through Life Experiences. I wanted to get out there and see what life and where life would take me. I have had some weird & strange ass experiences. Those experiences come into my head every now and then and I am amazed that one, what the hell was I thinking. And 2, WTF, I'm still alive. I've had the pleasure to work with this guy for a short month and a half. He graduated from college with a degree in Accounting. Believe me, I questioned our Educational Institution when I looked at this guy and he told me what his degree was for and in. But then I looked at the bigger picture. For one, he is White. And yes, it does make a BIG difference today. I thought about this. 5 years from now he will be a mid level corporate accountant some where. Some one will be paying this guy to keep or audit their books, so he has to know his stuff. I say this because right n...

My Brain, Mind & Mouth...

...I'm having a hard time getting them to work all at the same time...well in order that is. But, I think I figured out  solution. First I have to learn how all three of them work and then. I broke it sown. The brain is the car. The mind is the gas and the mouth is the destination. You have to hold the gas in something and that would be a car cause it has the gas tank. Gas in the car, gets you to your destination. Simple, right? Well sometimes not for me. I might be going crazy, or I'm on the verge of being the smartest person in life. but my mouth doesn't quite well knows how to work with my mind. It's like getting into a car and wanting to be in 3 different places, or go to three different places all at the same time. What happens is that when you come to that junction that branches off into your 3 destinations you would like to go to, I just seem to keep going straight. Heading off to someplace else, which isn't a bad or good thing, its just a destination. ...

Your Next Door Neighbors

I don't know if some people read the newspapers or even watch the news on TV. But there was something in both about this elderly woman who lived in her house. For 6 years, I think it was that long, she was dead before anyone realized that she was dead in her own home. Mail kept being delivered, Rent or mortgage was being paid, until her funds ran out at the bank. But by then it was too late. No one, not even her family, her own sister checked up on her. Neighbors, yep she had them, but they paid her no attention. Which brings me to this... Some people live in their own private world once they get behind their closed doors of their homes or apartments. You may see them in passing, and ONLY say the common greeting, Good Morning, etc. Other than that, we don't even matter to them. I rent a room out where I live. I can sleep through anything and anywhere, it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the woman who I rent the room from, has NO consideration for her neighbors on e...

An Extra $300 and I...

...have this uncontrollable feeling to just go out and buy electronics. Fired up the Chromebook and headed to Bestbuy.com. I know, right? Who shops at Bestbuy nowadays, I do!! Let me explain.  Since Bestbuy, (BB) , is actually a store, which has way too many employees working at any given time on the floor. It's always a good feeling walking in and see just what they have on display. But I notice something...and this is what cause me to spend 6 hours at this one store yesterday. I went online to look for a Boombox that played cd, cd/rw's and cd/rw's mp3's. CD's, right? Who still uses them..me. And again mind you. Also, I needed cd/rw's too. Funny, when I ordered it, both items were available NOT in the SAME stores. A marketing ploy. Got an email that both items were ready to be picked up at their seperate stores. First store, 5 miles away. Me, with no car, but with a Smartphone in hand, tapped my app, Lyft. It's an app that I donated $25 to and I get 2 w...

And You Think You Can Depend on SOME People

I am presently 8 hours from New York City, The Bronx, NY I moved here because I wanted to, I wanted to do something and be some where different. So, WHY did I think PEOPLE would or will change? No, not the people here cause I don't know of that many. But I'm talking about the ones, the friends that I left in NYC. Okay, I asked this one woman who lives in The Bronx, but works for a certain college, to get me a baseball cap from there. She has been there for over 28 years, and I'm sure she cold find some beat up old one laying around somewhere. Not even that, I told her to get one, and I would pay for it when she has it. ,,,this was 3 FUCKING YEARS AGO!! No shit. 3 weeks ago she told me I have that cap you wanted. I text her my address. You know what she said? Oh I don't know if I am going by the Post Office. I did the next thing better. I got the largest bubble pack and place inside with the appropriate postage, another bubble pack with my return address on it. Simple ...

I Can Hold a Decent Conversation....

...and at times, if you're a female, you would want to kill me. No for real, she would want to. ...see, cause all a female has to do is ask the man she is attracted to a couple of questions. The VERY first question should be, 'what is it that you want?' Now ladies, when you ask this question, try not to fly off the fuckin' hook when we answer, cause you did ask, right? Pay close attention to our answers. You shouldn't be judging on whether, you can 'get' what you want from this guy, or our answer, you should be seeing is it along the same vein as for what you're looking for in a man being your man. Cause face it, you're never gonna find that perfect man, he does NOT exist!! Another issue... If the man you do have now, like he isn't doing, saying or even being the man you 'thought' he would be or can be... And, you decide to like break things off with him, does that mean that your female friends, are off limits to him? What's even ...

Okay... I Took a Chance Last Night

I've been waiting for the right chance and time to hit the night life here. I didn't know where I wanted to go, nor what I wanted to do. All I did know was that I wanted to be in a place where there was good music playing and good people enjoying it. I took into account of the assholes, the drunk asshole that could be present. I'm not mentioning names of these places...because, I just won't. First, I don't drink, not even sociably. I will sip a beer for like 5 hours if I have to. Only to wet my throat. I'm not on 'the hunt', being like that brings a Saturday Night Live skit to mind, so no, I'm not like that either. But I do seek woman who having a good time and are NOT drunk. First place I walked into, I was led by the hand to their table. When I walked into this place I looked for the bar, somewhat crowded, but not too. Then I looked for the bathroom and the Fire Exits. Fire Exits, I ALWAYS seek those out, find them and lead those that are drunk t...

My Dream

I woke up last night as I do almost every night to go to the bathroom. But, it was what I was dreaming..before I woke up. It started with me walking towards my mothers bedroom. In her bedroom, was her and my father. They were both sitting on cushions, in robes. Their hair was a blondish color, To the left of them, laying on the bed and part way under the covers...were them also. I looked back at my mother and she gave me that smile she has. She stood up and opened her arms to me. I stepped into a warm embraced. Although no words were spoken, it was like we were talking. I then said out loud, 'Mom, it's time for me to go'. I looked down at my father, and like him as in real life, he spoke no words...he was always the quiet one. I stepped out of the bedroom and started walking down the hall towards the living room. I notice on the floor, my mother's cat, Vee, shot right by me. She is a crazy car and always had the habit of just doing that. She ran past me into the livin...

Soooooo...

...I met her yesterday for an expensive ass cup of coffee. I was impressed. ...and I told her so. How can she not be..have a man, boyfriend, even a husband. Nothing wrong with her after our 2 hour conversation. In fact, she invited me back to her place, but I had to turn her down. Tuesday's are really busy at work, and I can't be off my mark. Quite a bit of knife work going on. But Wednesday I am to meet her at her place, she is picking me up from work.
