The Messy Desk
So I’m back to my “normal” work routine today. And I just realized that my desk is hella messy. I can NOT work without order. I read somewhere that your desk, closet and refrigerator all embody the state of one’s mind. Well if this is the case, particularly about my desk, I’m in big trouble. I was going to take a picture, but I’d much rather do an “after” than a “before” lol. Its sort of sad, except for my orchid (at least I got some feng shui going on here). But let me just describe the chaos. I have 3 bottles of hand sanitizer, eye wash, two candles, three bottles of lotion, a lalah hathaway CD, a sharpie, my vision board, a Marie Claire Magazine, my flip video recorder, a printer, my laptop, 4 phones and an old iphone box. I won’t mention papers galore. Sometimes I like to print stuff out so I can read it better.
Its a little too chaotic for me. And the worse thing is, I can’t do anything. Why? lol because clutter paralyzes. So before I come back and comment, I need to fix this and I would like to declare this day Oct 21, 2009: “De-Clutter Your Desk” Day. No one on God’s green earth needs more than one bottle of hand sanitizer and a bottle of lotion.
I’m off to arrest this mess on my desk, but before I do, that’s right Comeback Kids, I need Starbucks.
I’m proud to say- my desk is clutter free! lol
But i agree- clutter is paralyzing.
Ma’am- I need you to put one of those sanitizers in the drawer. DO you have any hanging shelves? They get the clutter off of your desk and add storage.
My desk is semi clutter free. Moreso because I heard “the man” get on my boss and another guy about their desses looking a mess.
Now I won’t say it’s organized. Well other people wouldn’t think it was organized, but I know everything is and can put my hand on whatever is needed.
I read an article probably about a year ago that said people with messy desks were actually more “organized”/better workers than people with clean desks. Or something along them lines.
Have you seen that video that Kanye made?
“DO you have any hanging shelves? They get the clutter off of your desk and add storage.”
@ Sunny The desk I have doesn’t have any storage shelves
but imma try that.
“people with messy desks were actually more “organized”/better workers than people with clean desks.”
@ Vroom..LOL..ol LORD..i don’t need any justification for this chaos..(but when you get a chance or find the article please supply the link) LOL
@Comeback: My desk has no storage shelves either. I hate that.
@ Sunny..i didn’t see the Kanye West Vid. but I am reading now about people trying to kill him on Twitter.

I’m watching it now.. it’s very weird.
Good morning y’all…. Yep, my desk is a lil cluttered with all kind of paper and misc items…. But I pretty much know where everything is…..
And it doesn’t help that I jot down notes everytime somebody call me so I have a lil stack w/ these notes in case the situation comes up again….. And then when I finally throw my stack of notes away somebody come calling asking about problem that I just fixed ior calling for a contact which was all documented in my stack of notes… Don’t you hate that????
Let me go ahead and work on throwing some of this ish away that’s on my desk.
I don’t think either of these is the actual article I read, but they justify the chaos!!

One of them said that organizing is a form of procrastination. Ha!
Hey 80s. lol.
I take notes for every call too (boss’s orders) Do you have a filing system that they could go into?
“And it doesn’t help that I jot down notes everytime somebody call me so I have a lil stack w/ these notes in case the situation comes up again….. And then when I finally throw my stack of notes away somebody come calling asking about problem that I just fixed ior calling for a contact which was all documented in my stack of notes… Don’t you hate that????”
@ 80s THAT IS THE WORSE WORSE WORSE…And I hate calling or asking somebody twice about something I wrote down on a paper that I threw away…because I go through these cycles of ..”its gotta be NEAT” and I cure the messy by just throwing EVERYTHING AWAY. I do have a calculation pad..but its for serious work..and its so neat and tidy, i don’t like just jotting ANYTHING in it. I know Im neurotic like that too.
Those notes are extremely valuable though… people sometimes act like they never talked to you.
I haven’t seen the video. Is it a new song? I’ll have to watch it later.
And it doesn’t help that I jot down notes everytime somebody call me so I have a lil stack w/ these notes in case the situation comes up again….. .
OMG, I write notes/numbers on the back of any and everything. But it’s amongst my doodling. I just had to call this lady back, and on the paper (the back of a printed off email), there’s details from the call, my name in bubble letters two times and random scribbles that include the following: Christmas, June 5th, Jelly, Nekid, She’s pretty good, doo-dah, August, Nekid, piece of cake, pen pal, Tool Time, yup, You have no faith in me, Wachovia, and other random ish. LOL

LOL@ Vroom..what the hel!?? whats up with” Nekid”??? and “Tool Time”??
@V: It’s not a new song, its’ just a weird short film he created where he is drunk, and stabs himself in the stomach.. people say it’s expressing him killing his ego.
LOL@ Vroom..what the hel!?? whats up with” Nekid”??? and “Tool Time”?? .
It’s sooooooo random. Tool time was because for some reason we got to talking about Home Improvement. Nekid? I have no idea!
I have sooooo many pages in my drawer with random scribblings and fake important ish. Sometimes I read the doodles and laugh like what the he!! was this about.
@V: It’s not a new song, its’ just a weird short film he created where he is drunk, and stabs himself in the stomach.. people say it’s expressing him killing his ego. .
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!??!?! This sounds CRAZY!!! Bless his heart. He needs love. And attention. What’s his sign?
Okay I just looked it up. He’s a Gemini. Probably a real live Gemini with multiple personalities forreal.
I still love him. I don’t think he gets enough hugs.

@V: I agree with everything you just said.. I think he’s really talented, but he’s troubled. He needs hugs and reassurance.
Do you have a filing system that they could go into?
@Nick…. A filing system called the trash…. LOL
But if it’s something that I think I may need later on then I do have electronic means to capture the information and display it for all of my coworkers to see in case they come across the same problem.
But my notes are usually chicken scratch just to help me get a better idea of what’s going on and what needs to be fixed.. Nobody else could probably read it and understand it…. LOL
@Comeback… Before I start asking somebody… I will literally go through my lil recycle box under my desk to see if the piece of paper is in there… I used to have a key to our “locked” recycle box and I used to go through that to try to find my stuff if I ever needed it again too….Then I’ll go through my email to see if I can find something that relates…. I already know I’m doing too much… LOL
@80s: LMBO @ the trash.
Electronic means is great. It means no sifting through a bunch of mess. Just do Ctrl + F.
And your hand written notes sound like my boss’s. .he gets frustrated because I hve to ask what happened during a phone call.
lol

@V… This is so me…. I be reading stuff dying laughing….My doodling be straight up RANDOM.
And I’m just gonna go ahead and called you because you have NEKID on their twice…. LOL
And I’m just gonna go ahead and called you because you have NEKID on their twice…. LOL .
LMAO. I know right. On the front and back of the page. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.
My closet is my clutter-vice. I have been meaning to arrange it for months, and keep putting it off. this has been a theme of sorts lately, so maybe I should begin with my closet and the other things will follow.
Sometimes I like to print stuff out so I can read it better.
I could not let this slide! This from ye of the “My Kindle is better than your book, Mr. Pretentious” fame! LOL
I try to keep whatever desk I have clean.
I do not like clutter and Nicki knows that for sure LOL!!
I kept closets and drawers cluttered.. since j has been there, I’ve sorted through.
I always said I was gonna do it but got side tracked
OH EM GEE YAW,
Google : camel spider
I kept closets and drawers cluttered.. since j has been there, I’ve sorted through
@Nick…. In my one room I have one junk drawer where I throw all kinds of stuff like the extra buttons from new shirts and etc…
Thank God I tackled majority of my closets last week. But I still have my closet to go… Which is going to be a process….
And how about when my friends were down they were being nosey meddling in my stuff… And I was like that’s a bag of stuff I’m donating to the Salvation Army or Goodwill…One of them went through it and got her a sweatsuit to ride home in and she found her a brand new pair of shoes…. LOL
One of them went through it and got her a sweatsuit to ride home in and she found her a brand new pair of shoes .
My friends already know to pick out ish that I may be able to fit and pass them along. One friend passes down ish that’s too small. I got a coat that I LOVE from her. Everytime she sees me in it, she gets pissed because she can’t wear them anymore.
I passed down several pairs of jeans to another friend. They are now her favorite and I see her rocking them on the regular.
It’s all part of the going green process. LMAO

LMAO… We need to turn that into a business, “80’s CLOSET”
I have junk (buttons , nail polish, etc.) in stuff too, you just reminded me. GOD, I need to go through that.
@ Nicki – WHY did you put the image of camel spider in my head? I would freak the phuck out! Like seriously go in cardiac arrest.
It’s all part of the going green process. LMAO
@V…. Exactly… I stay accepting GOOD hand me downs…. LOL But that bag wasn’t necessarily a good bag…. I had a “good” bag of stuff for them to go through but uhhhhh I couldn’t find it…… I still don’t know what happened to that bag…
LMAO… We need to turn that into a business, “80’s CLOSET”
@Nick…. That seriously could be the case… I buy a lot of stuff on sale and I never end up wearing it…. Like those shoes were some BCBG white pumps that I bought because they were on sale… I’ve probably had them for 2 years and I have never wore them…..She’s in Eastern Star so she took them with the quickness….. My lil cousin the other day texted me asking for a coat… I’m like yeah I can give you this leather that’s in my trunk. Just remind me next time I’m home…
My place is the place to come too if you need something.. I have it all… My aunt is like that… I swear I can call her like I forgot my toothbrush, deo, slippers, socks, etc….And she likes come on I’ll get you a bag ready.lol (exaggeration but you get my drift).. And I think I’m the new version of her… My other friend liked the scent of my oils this weekend… So I gave her a bottle of it along with a oil warmer, and some tea lights candles to get her started… LOL
@V I had to have someone share it with me.. lol. then my dumbazz is reading stories on them and what not.
J betta be ready to stay up tonight. lol
I’m heated none of my firends wear the same size as me, now. lol
I think it’s nice that you can help people out like that….
She’s in Eastern Star so she took them with the quickness .
Eastern star??? TH???
I thought she meant Eastern Star Church in my city.
LMAO. what’s that’?
I don’t have a desk..yet…well i will as of monday when i start my new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning lovies!
Y’all never heard of Eastern Star??? What about the Masons?????
It’s a
secretorganization for men and women…… LOLCongratulations Akua on the job!!!!!!
I’m listening to this new Black Eyed Peas cd on Imeem and I love it.
YYAAAAY Akua… congrats doll
Now that you mentioned the Masons, I know what it is. lol
Good Morning Comeback Kiddies.
I can totally feel this post. I was in my office a couple of weeks ago and I was like I CANNOT do another thing in here like this. So …I threw away all the old papers…all the old phone books…old printers, scanners, keyboard, mice…EVERYTHING ….it is so much better in there…
Now all I have to do is get that safe out the way AND get the TV working back right…(Which I don’t really need or I might take that out too.
*sigh* OK…I was up til 4am and I need to work on some stuff.
I’ll see yall later.
@Nick… The Masons is the men version… And the Eastern Star is the women version…….
Hey Akua! Congrats on the new job!
Y’all never heard of Eastern Star??? What about the Masons?????
It’s a secret organization for men and women…… LOL ..
See I thought thats what you were referring to.
Easter Star/Masons = cult I kid I kid.Do they wear white shoes or something??
@80’s we have eastern stars and masons here
Hey Jaci,
V, 80s: check your email.
@80s: they used to come to my old church all the time and sing.
I never understood why.
All of them would be dressed in white suits.
re: giving stuff away
When I went back to New Orleans in April I brought back a ton. I still have a ton there but what was super impressive to everybody was me giving stuff away…TV, DVD, pretty new stereo, etc.
The coolest thing about it was finding a girl who was a freshman and my size who I knew didn’t really have anything. I gave her 25 pairs of shoes and every formal dress I’d ever worn (hey! no one is going to remember)
And you know what it felt good to know that I had blessed someone in that manner.
OK for real this time.
“I already know I’m doing too much… LOL”
@80s…I couldn’t ..A.D.D would not let me do all that you doin LOL..
“I could not let this slide! This from ye of the “My Kindle is better than your book, Mr. Pretentious” fame! LOL”
Nottie..i WILL NEVER print out a dayum book. But work related stuff. thats one or two pages or less. Yes.
“all the old phone books…old printers, scanners, keyboard, mice…EVERYTHING ….it is so much better in there…”
JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta give you my green speech DO NOT THROW THOSE THINGS OUT. Printers, scanners, keyboards can be given away or sold..these things are not good for the environment.
Clutter is my worst enemy… especially since I am already procrastination prone…
Right now, my bedroom
hell my whole houseis in need of some major de-cluterring overhaul.But let me start small and de-clutter the sitting area in my bedroom which is supposed to be my place of peace but is currently run down with sneakers, bike, school books, socks, old photos… I mean you name it, it’s probably in there. Argh!
Happy de-clutter day, treehouse!
I am de-cluttering my desk as we speak!!!
“@80’s we have eastern stars and masons here”
@ Akua..we do too. For some reason tho anybody under 40 whose like PRESSED to join or are like members and gun ho..make me laugh.
Do they wear white shoes or something??
@V…. The women wear all white….. When I was younger I was in the 13-18 younger “girls assembly” version.. .I used to have my all white dresses, white shoes, and skin tone hosiery…. LOL
The place where our “meetings” were held was up the street from me. So me and my sis used to have to walk…… I hated walking in my “all white” getup…. LMAO

@ 80s i KNEW THIS GUY..he was like in a frat, a mason, in a band fraternity, a phi beta kappa, boy scout LOL..just all this dayum stuff. I thought it was so funny..like why do you want to belong SO BAD to EVERYTHING.
I am on the phone with my mama who’s telling me a story that she just saw on the news:
A man robbed the check cashing place and when he did, he asked the worker to pray for him.
She did.
They ahve it on video tape and it’s on the news.
His mother called him (because she saw him on the news) and told him she recognized him on tv and to get his butt down to the police station to turn himself in.
LMAO.
Gotta love black mamas
On your last day, I need you to walk out, singing,
Hall-ay- barrrryyyy,
Hall-ay- barrrryyyy .
PLEASE do this. I love quitting jobs…..I always think of how I am going to make my exit. lol
“80s i KNEW THIS GUY..he was like in a frat, a mason, in a band fraternity, a phi beta kappa, boy scout LOL..just all this dayum stuff. I thought it was so funny..like why do you want to belong SO BAD to EVERYTHING”

Right now, my bedroom hell my whole house is in need of some major de-cluterring overhaul.

@LP… .Get to decluttering
…. Speaking from someone who has just worked her tail off decluttering.. It does feel good walking into my place newly organized.. .And it has felt great actually sleeping in my bed these last few nights…. It’s been a refreshing experience
“Got me a new coat!!!!!”
The weather here is so funny NOW..though it is chilly at night. its like 60s today.
CBG THAT IS COLD!!!!!!
i KNEW THIS GUY..he was like in a frat, a mason, in a band fraternity, a phi beta kappa, boy scout LOL..just all this dayum stuff. I thought it was so funny..like why do you want to belong SO BAD to EVERYTHING.
@Comeback… I knew of this girl who was like that… But in her case she actually “pledged” to do a lot of this stuff… So it was like how much do you like that “pledging process”. She obviously couldn’t get enough of it…… She was in a band sorority, a sweetheart club, a regular sorority and who knows what else…. It was like dang girl!!!!!
CBG THAT IS COLD!!!!!!”
@ Holly Berry…WHAT?? NO ITS NOT!! thats like beautiful weather.
Halle Berry is in ATL. lol
It’s gonna be in the mid 70s here today but why do I feel air conditioner??
COME ON PEOPLE
i KNEW THIS GUY..he was like in a frat, a mason, in a band fraternity, a phi beta kappa, boy scout LOL..just all this dayum stuff. I thought it was so funny..like why do you want to belong SO BAD to EVERYTHING.
I swear I KNOW this guy!!! He is in EVERYTHING and he mentions his belonging to all those organizations at every single occasion he can. It’s in his email signature, in any presentation we do in class (we have been in the same classes)… He actually goes to my gym and he’s a triathlete who is on ALL the triathlete forums and promotes a triathlon training group, he – you guessed it- belongs to.
I mean I am exhausted just typing that. The other day I saw him in the parking lot and surprise, surprise *sarcastic tone*, he drives a shiny silver sports car of some sort…
My reaction? Mmmkay dude, I see ya.
My reaction? Mmmkay dude, I see ya.
@LP… People like that just make me wonder like who are you??? What are you joining these organizations for? To allow them to define you?
And that’s crazy to me… It’s a Boy, Bye scenario. Get out my face with that nonsense.. That is not going to make me think any more of you.
She was in a band sorority, a sweetheart club, a regular sorority and who knows what else…. It was like dang girl!!!!! .
sweetheart clubs are the funniest thing to me. And by funniest I mean most ridiculous. LMAO
It’s a need to feel like they belong. They didn’t get enough love while they were growing up. LOL
What is a sweetheart club?
@Nick
Like a group of females affiliated with a certain fraternity ie Kappa Sweethearts.
That is not going to make me think any more of you.
Exactly. And you can tell for 3000 miles away that he is carrying some sort of insecurities. He is handsome (or should I say pretty?) in a Tyson Begford kind of way, and you can see him checking himself out in the mirror in a spinning class.
And he can’t stand when people don’t pay attention to him. I had this spin class buddy who I used to do the 6AM class with. That class was a bit clique-ish (they ride outdoors with the trainer etc..etc… the trainer is in fitness competition etc…etc…), we were the two newbies so we bonded. Anywho, long story short, we had our own thing going and brother man could not understand how two black women didn’t pay him – the Appollo God apparently- no never mind. The girl and I never really talked about it, but it was kind of a tacit agreement to ignore his a$$. Lol! We warmed to the other folks and I even started riding outside with some of them (remember my riding buddy?)… I am sure our dude was heated. *smh*
Tyson Begford
I love it! HAHA….
“Like a group of females affiliated with a certain fraternity ie Kappa Sweethearts.”
I thought those were the girls that were the h*es of the fraternity.. when I went to EKU, we thought those girls was the young dumb ones they used for chex. lol
@ LP – Oh we remember your “riding buddy”. Pun intended. LMAO
He is handsome (or should I say pretty?) in a Tyson Begford kind of way, and you can see him checking himself out in the mirror in a spinning class. .
Me no likey pretty boys.
@LP: Ignorning him would have been the best part.
My friend had a best friend (guy) who she always told me about that was arrogant and he loved attention. She told me about his new purchase (some expensive car), and one day,
I went to the gas station and saw him. Mind you, I’d never seen the guy before but from her cocky azz description, I knew it had to be this guy from how his head was rolling around to see if any checked him out. LMAO
I was watching him from my side eye
Mind you, I’d never seen the guy before but from her cocky azz description, I knew it had to be this guy from how his head was rolling around to see if any checked him out. LMAO .
I used to have a friend like that. He was a football player at O-State. Big, cutie pie, dark skinned with eyes like Tyson. Another male friend of ours brought him to our house and he walked in with an attitude like don’t you know who I am.
We paid him no mind and talked all kinds of sh*t to him. After that we couldn’t get rid of him. Like forreal. He secretly loved that we couldn’t care less about who he thought he was. After we broke him down, we lifted him back up. He just needed some hugs. LMAO
People seriously just be needing hugs.
The guys constantly looking to see who checkin them are the ones who I igg the hardest… .It’s like dude, since you want the attention that bad I am NOT gonna GIVE it to you.
@Nicki
Prolly so…LOL…I was associated w/ () in college but we didn’t have sweethearts…they had chicks that they watched out for…
Like they were like brothers…there was never anything cross. I think that’s what it was supposed to be…but wasn’t

@V: You ain’ t never lied about that. I can’t stand the Big Man on Campus attitude.. Even famous people, I swear Puff Daddy is that person.
People seriously just be needing hugs.
Now that has got to be my status of the day! Hilarious!

@V.. Hilarious!!!!! A lot of those college atheletes are the worst….. I will never forget I had seen Tayshawn Prince here at the mall…. It was a group of us (black girls) and he seen us and kind of did this head nod like here we go again…. Funny thing is didn’t none of the girls even know who that ninja was. I was the only one… But you better believe I rolled my eyes and kept it moving after that one… Like ninja please you thought WE were bout to be on you but you were SO FREAKIN WRONG. Everybody in the KY is not on KY basketball like you thought.
Now that has got to be my status of the day! Hilarious! .
It’s funny, but it’s true!!!! If I didn’t think I would look extra crazy, I would start going around hugging random people who looked like they needed one. But I’m not trying to end up under mental health evaluation.
Even famous people, I swear Puff Daddy is that person. .
I have a love/hate relationship with him. When MTB used to first come on, I swore he was secksy. Everyone used to give me the side eye. Then they hopped on the band wagon. Then he got extra cocky and I no longer found him secksy. If he toned it down a notch, I would consider hopping back on the secksy band wagon. Lol
“Prolly so…LOL…I was associated w/ () in college but we didn’t have sweethearts…they had chicks that they watched out for…”
That;s cool.

Then he got extra cocky and I no longer found him secksy. If he toned it down a notch, I would consider hopping back on the secksy band wagon. Lol”
@V: Me and J will debate about him for hours. I cannot stand him. I loved him back in the day,yes. I bought all those cds. lol.. but now, notsomuch.
Testing…to see if my pic comes up
If I didn’t think I would look extra crazy, I would start going around hugging random people who looked like they needed one.
Remember that guy who did that about a year or so ago? He would just randomly hug people on the streets and people responded too! It was funny but cute. If I had youtube at work, I would have youtubed it.
Here is a link that was inspired by the guy: http://www.freehugscampaign.org/

“Hilarious!!!!! A lot of those college atheletes are the worst….. I will never forget I had seen Tayshawn Prince here at the mall…. It was a group of us (black girls) and he seen us and kind of did this head nod like here we go again…. Funny thing is didn’t none of the girls even know who that ninja was. I was the only one… But you better believe I rolled my eyes and kept it moving after that one… Like ninja please you thought WE were bout to be on you but you were SO FREAKIN WRONG. Everybody in the KY is not on KY basketball like you thought.”
@80s: Brilliant- that’s what he gets. One of my girls is always throwing around UofL basketball names…. I never have a clue who she is talking about.
Prolly so…LOL…I was associated w/ () in college but we didn’t have sweethearts…they had chicks that they watched out for…
Like they were like brothers…there was never anything cross. I think that’s what it was supposed to be…but wasn’t
Alphas sorry…I don’t know how I skipped that.
@Jac….
Sound like somebody was an Alpha Angel to meha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…I’m sorry people who the whole fraternity is cool with… Gets the side eye from me…… LMAO
Ya’ll had to step out! Express is having a bomb sale!!!
I tried googling it and came up with homemade videos
Ya’ll had to step out! Express is having a bomb sale!!!
@Holly… I already planned to go after work… And I got fast cash to use too… I was gonna dip off at lunch.. But i figured since the weather is nice I might as well go after work.
So my co-worker just threw out the idea of pregnant nuns. I think that’s hilarious!!
Pregnant nuns for Halloween?
So my co-worker just threw out the idea of pregnant nuns. I think that’s hilarious!!
@V… For halloween?????????? That is… LOL
So my co-worker just threw out the idea of pregnant nuns
What are the requirements to work at your job? Lol! Y’all are hilarious!!!
@80s
LOL…it started out being one of them…then he started acting out…all crazy & ish…so one day I’m walking and his two of his three lines brothers were like psst …come here get in the back & sit low.
So I’m like okay…they wanted me to make him stop cheating on his girlfriend…I was like ok..welll I’ma try.
And being cool with any whole frat was easy @ my school…
2 Sigmas, 4 Alphas and like 4 Kappas…that’s just being cool with the other 4% of black people on campus….
We have to be accepting my campus was too much to not be in w/ anybody…they just happened to be the frat I got along must with…Sigmas were a close second.
I ♥ the free hug campaign! Ha! Great idea! I should’ve came up with it first.
Funny thing is didn’t none of the girls even know who that ninja was. I was the only one… But you better believe I rolled my eyes and kept it moving after that one… .
Hahahahaha. I don’t blame you. I do Ocho Ci.n.co aka C.h.a.d Johnson like that EVERY TIME I SEE HIM.
I messed around and saw him in Bebe one day (Bebe?!?!?! I know right) and he so wanted some attention. I would not give it to him! Then the mofo comes over and picks my I.D. up off the counter looks at it and reads my address outloud like I’m making note of this. I’m like make note of it all you want. I don’t even live there. Lol.

For Halloween!! LOL. As much as I would want to do it, I know someone here would get offended.
Apparently the requirements aren’t too high. These mofos are crazy! They definitely keep me entertained!
come here get in the back & sit low.
@Jac… ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ … That line right there.. I would have been like WTF???????????
So I’m like okay…they wanted me to make him stop cheating on his girlfriend…I was like ok..welll I’ma try.
Umm how were you supposed to make him stop??????
Yaw what about they ar offering a counter offer!

@V.. Speaking of #85… Have you heard about him bouncing checks up in this piece… I think that’s hilarious… Supposedly he paying girls for whatever services and that ish is getting RETURNED!
And speaking of BEBE .. you know they got triple points this month… And I heard the Kardashian sisters are gonna start designing for them. I don’t know how I feel about that one though.
Yaw what about they ar offering a counter offer!
@V… Who?? The job you want????
“Yaw what about they ar offering a counter offer!”
Your potential JOB is counter offering??
No my current Job!
They are trying to keep me!
Hol. what r u gonna do?
“They are trying to keep me!”
Let the fights begin..I would ask for what the other job is paying + 10-20 k..go HIGH. PLUS relocation.
Imma go Nick because they only want me now that I am leaving…. when they pretty much were tryign to fire me a few months ago
“Imma go Nick because they only want me now that I am leaving…. when they pretty much were tryign to fire me a few months ago”
@Hol: I was getting ready to say- lol. U worked too hard for this.. and if you stayed, it’d only be a mess further down the road again.
LEAVE>
I have zero allegiance when people ain’t treating you right.
“Let the fights begin..I would ask for what the other job is paying + 10-20 k..go HIGH. PLUS relocation.”
I would if I could see my company surviving…. They only have one client!
“I would if I could see my company surviving…. They only have one client!”
I think you should AT LEAST hear them out. And I would be cautious about a kiss my patootie letter…you never know what could happen in the future. But make them SHOW you .Interview them. Ask them why you should stay, company projections, stuff like that.
@80s
Long story short: the girl that he was messing with was my really good friend…so they thought I could talk to them both and talk them out of it. I was like…umm…well okay I can try.
She was the second of my friends he was messing with…it was out of control …and when the g/f got ready to pledge they told her that she had to stand up to him…
IT WAS A MESS.
Now when I look at her FB…and she’s becoming Dr. and has lost weight and is simply beautiful inside and out and other chick became a lesbian…I’m sure he’s kicking himself.
Them boys was a mess is all I can say.
Comeback I already gave my resignation letter this morning. He actually asked what could he do to make me stay longer…. “stay longer” is not what I wanna hear
Thing is CBG I don’t trust the CEO…
@V.. Speaking of #85… Have you heard about him bouncing checks up in this piece… I think that’s hilarious… Supposedly he paying girls for whatever services and that ish is getting RETURNED! .
This would surprise me at all. I haven’t heard about that, but like I said, it would NOT surprise me.
@ Hols – I would hear them out too. Or I would definitely take their counter-offer and go to the new company!
“Comeback I already gave my resignation letter this morning. He actually asked what could he do to make me stay longer…. “stay longer” is not what I wanna hear”
HMM…if you’re not doing any conflict of interest with your other job..why don’t you offer to contract with them part time evenings from home, until they move. Or help them coordinate the move to DC PART TIME. contract.
I think they would keep me just to get me up there… help get the company up and running then lay me off…
@V- He asked me what did I want…
@CBG- That’s a great idea! There isnt a conflict of interest and I could suggest that
“help get the company up and running then lay me off…”
Thats why Im saying make it a win-win. Go contract with them part time. Double your rate. And boom you’re out.
@Holly… I like Comeback’s suggestion too…. It would be a win win. More work for you but more money to play with it at the same time.
That’s a good one CBG! I feel more comfortable suggesting that….
“More work for you but more money to play with it at the same time.”
Exactly..i was thinking about this idea for myself yesterday LOL..
I think CBG has a great suggestion!
”
That’s a good one CBG! I feel more comfortable suggesting that….
“
I hope it works hollyberry..imma say a little prayer for you. go in there and see it already done. You have nothing to lose. ..imma still say a little prayer.
I thought
“I thought…”?
Comeback I am gonna do exactly what u suggested!
GREAT suggestion CBG!!
Thank you so much CBG!!!!! I cant wait to meet you!!!
So I am gonna suggest to work part-time as a contract employee during the evenings M-Th for 4 hours!

Congrats Holly and Akua on the new jobs!
If you think Nikki is already pretty, meet her in person. She has the prettiest eyes and beautiful spirit to match.
@CBG-clutter is my enemy especially since I’m transient these days. Heck I need to finish unpacking stuff now. My clutter starts when my life gets hectic but you are right about how clutter can mess with you mentally.
@Nikki-I had fun meeting with you yesterday heck I didn’t want to go because trust me Louisville is better than SC. Why did Careerbuilder send me a list of Louisville jobs yesterday? By the way, that Mexican food was aight, just go to Taco Bell girl.
@FB when I find the time we will talk and girl can you get me a job? lol
@V-For some weird reason Garmin, Mapquest and Google Maps gives me different directions compared to the last time I drove to Chicago…arrgggghh! We will meet one day. Love the pregnant nun costume!
@Holly- I like CBG’s suggestion because taking a counter offer usually bites u in the butt.
Back in Chicago but November will be the last month unless something pops off then back to SC. My girlfriend needs her space and I need a job and a place.
@Bgrits
LOL…I see you got my e-mail AND yes I’ll get you a job as a se!x therapist!
@CBG,
Excellent suggestion! Hols, grab it and run with it!
It shows you how valuable you are when companies are fighting to keep you. Great job chica!

ValT-Boz was coming out… She picked up some weight…. But nah, I can’t really get down with it…. I was surprised that I like Wendy’s… But Monique’s I’m cool….80’s that is my friends Pastor!
@80’s,
I can’t stand Wendy’s (she is way more than she needs to be) and I knew Monique’s show would be a mess.
@V,
Stop fighting your inner T-Boz…

I felt so bad about the
miniskirts/dresses I came in with last week that I’ve been wearing suits this week. Gotta balance it out. LMAO@V,
I take it back… You look nothing like her in her current state .
**side-eye**
A month before meeting Joseph, she felt God dare her to write down what she wanted in a mate and to then believe it would happen. “As women, we sometimes say what we want, and don’t believe it will come to past, thinking our expectations are too high. We have to put it out there and believe.” Shortly after meeting Joseph, she stumbled back to her list and realized he fulfilled every one of her wants.
@Comeback… This was from that love story and I think it goes back to what you be saying about journaling and so forth. And how something magical happens when you actually take the time to WRITE stuff down and then BELIEVING in what you wrote..
Yep Yep and this is why I’m working on my vision board tonight… I even got my sister doing one!!!!!
I even got my sister doing one!!!!!
I’m getting mine to do it too! Especially the baby, she has been cursed with my procrastination and overall lack of organization
but blessed with my quick wit! Ha!so I want her to do one… It will center her. I know at 19 I thought the world was my oyster and she does too… but her energy is often too all over the place. She’s smart as a whip though.Sister love!!!!
@ LP – Are your sisters still in town?
I’m out ladies… On my way to Target… My favorite store… Have a good one.
Bye 80s!! I miss you already
Are your sisters still in town?
The 4th one got in today. Haven’t seen her yet. My baby is sick though.
