that aggravating moment when...
you are in a bookstore / coffeehouse / cafe alone with your laptop / macbook / netbook and you have to go potty Make a run for it and pray your equipment is still there upon return or unplug, pack-up and tote 2-3 bags to the restroom only to do everything in reverse a mere 3 minutes later?

I hit a career low today...
I kicked one of my customers… who was on crutches. I kicked her bad foot. I didn’t mean to do it. Really. Though she was acting like a spoiled b*tch, it seriously was an accident. I told her that I was sorry… but I really wasn’t. Sad part about it is that I am laughing so hard as I type this… but I SWEAR kicking her was unintentional. My seat in hell is slowly moving...

Just got a notice...
from AT&T saying that I am in the top 5% of data users and that I need to slow it the hell down and use wi-fi for the rest of my billing cycle. Being that my addiction to pr0n YouTube put me in this predicament, and I have 24 days remaining in this billing cycle, I’d hope you all would understand if I become a bit grumpy over the next three and a half weeks.

I used to throw a fit when someone would change their avi AND their username because I wouldn’t know who the hell they were. Now I’m proud to say that I know you all so much by your posts (especially the writers) that I don’t even need to look to see who the poster was.

140 characters or less
*Inspired by this post and the responses it received*
Twitter started a revolution of keeping communication short and sweet (well maybe just short). If you can’t get it out within 140 keystrokes, perhaps you are saying too much. Ok. I get that. Time waits for no one and sometimes you need “just the facts, Ma’am”. Need to ask someone a question? Move your thumbs a little...

Day One: Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten...
(MB) Thank you for giving me a second chance. I know we tried to tackle the same situation differently, but I’m glad that we realized that we were looking for similar end results. I appreciate your empathetic but brutal honesty. (MH) About a month ago, I realized that our ten year friendship was totally built around a lie. At that moment, I couldn’t of cared less about what happened...

What's worse than getting fired on your day off?
Getting fired on April Fool’s Day. This could get ugly.

“How did Martin Luther King speak? How did Malcom X speak? How does Maya Angelou...”
– (via chescaleigh)
If people fear what they don't understand,
then why do so many Christians refer to themselves as “God-fearing”?

Satisfaction
nyakcity:
Besides the moments of sex, i doubt you can keep a woman satisfied. It be the simple things that spark the dumbest arguments that leave you thinkin’ what the fuck just happened.
Besides the moments of sex, men can keep women satisfied. It is the simplest things that keep a smile on her face, and leave her thinkin’ “where have you been all my life”

Since when did it become cool to accept a drink from someone you CLEARLY aren’t interested in? Perhaps that’s a question best left for gold diggers. But seriously. Last night I went out to Applebee’s with one of my co-workers and she totally scolded me for not accepting a free drink from this dude at the bar. (come to think of it, the female bartender gave me the o.O as well) I...

cordially invited
I got a high school reunion flyer in the mail yesterday. It’s not technically for MY reunion though It’s for everyone who graduated from my high school from 1997-2003. (WTF? - gotta love those inner-city schools) I’m still trying to figure out who thought that’d be a great idea, a reunion with people I’ve never met. The two-day event will cost $175 to attend. So after...

I have a new respect for hiring managers
My company held a job fair today and yours truly got a chance to do interviews. I knew today would be an interesting one. In the middle of interviewing:
three people answered their cell phones (one girl actually started a conversation)
one chick started filing her nails
some guy told me he couldn’t work for a female boss because “it is a mans job to lead”
one guy was blazed...

going natural
It’s been exactly 366 days since my last relaxer. I’m thrilled that I made it an entire year (cause I had some near breakdowns where I almost got it fried), so I decided to share the news. I told my mother, aunt, and two best friends that I’m going natural and may consider getting dreads. My mother and one of my besties (who happens to be of another race) were like “ok,...
I don’t like Valentine’s Day for one reason, and one reason only It reminds me that I’m single. I seriously don’t think about it much during the rest of the year. I can get invited to weddings, engagement parties, I can listen to my besties gush over their new love interests… and be there for them when it doesn’t work out. I can do all of that without much of a...

laundry day...
I really hate going to the laundrymat. Let me rephrase that… I hate strangers judging you by the contents of your laundry basket. Never been to a laundrymat or dorm laundry room in your life? Consider yourself lucky and privileged. For the rest of us, the stares of others can be horrifying. Have a bloody shirt and people assume you got your a** kicked in a fight or you killed someone. White...

The other day I went out to dinner with my old Calculus teacher. The setting was perfect. The food? Fantastic. He was smelling good and looking even better. He showed up with flowers (I didn’t even know people did that anymore) and was the ultimate gentleman the entire night. The conversation flowed freely between us. He did just the right amount of flirting, and was unbelievably charming....

I got asked out on a date today by one of my old teachers. I’m a little uneasy about this. If it were one of my old PROFESSORS I wouldn’t care, but this was my 10th grade homeroom /12th grade calculus teacher. I don’t have a problem with his age (he’s 7 years older). I think I’m just bothered by the fact that when I was 15 he was Mr. So-and-so, an adult and...

I got invited to an anti-Superbowl party yesterday. Neighbor: Hey girlie, watcha doin’ next Sunday night? ME: Watching the Superbowl Neighbor: (scoffs) Well, my girlfriends and I are having an Anti-Bowl party. We are fed up with men who year after year act like we don’t exist when the “big game” is on. We’re having cocktails, and will play some board games, and are...
small-town dilema
Back in August I moved to an extremely small city in eastern NC. I’ve got a major city one hour away, and “home” (Richmond) is just a two hour drive. For the first time in my life though, I’m having difficultly establishing new friendships. It’s weird because the people here are quite close-minded. Here everyone knows everyone else and they don’t take too well...

Girl: So, do you have any kids? Me: No. Girl: (with a shocked look) Why not? Me: o_O WHY NOT?!? What kind of question is that? Why not? Are you implying that you expected me to have kids? I notice that I usually only get asked that from someone who has children… so I smirk and sweetly reply “because I don’t have unprotected sex”. Then I sit back and watch their expression...

I'm going to make a conscious decision...
to work towards being more personal in my blogs. It’s the entire reason I started blogging in the first place. I can’t promise this will be a smooth transition…
