Just six months ago, I was unemployed. I'm not quite sure how I should celebrate my six-month mark here. I was telling Opportunity that I should probably take myself out to dinner for a job well done (Hell, I deserve it!). And even with the strife and other shit that's went on in the past six months, I don't think I would change a thing. This is truly a challenging and dynamic work environment and I'm glad to be here. OK. Spiel over. If any of the LA Blacks are reading, I will be out in your neck of the woods (the Oh-Sizzle, to be exact) next week; October 4 - 6. It's all on the company dime, so between training sessions and the like, I'd love to meet up with some of y'all. You know how to reach me. Until then…back to work!

The revolution will not be televised; it will come through as an e-mail forward that you must send to 10 of your friends or something bad will happen! Unbeknownst to me, today was Black Shirt Day™ at work. All the Black people in our department were supposed to wear Black shirts. And I wore red. So I didn't get the e-mail! Sue me! Apparently, the whole Black Shirt Day™ was supposed to be a sign to management that…umm…wait a minute, I know this one…. Perhaps I should just give you the backstory. On Friday, someone in our department was promoted. Generally, promotions aren't even flirted with unless you've been with the company for six months. This guy's only been here for two and a half. He was promoted to a position that wasn't even open for internal hires yet, especially after such a short period of time when he's still in probation. Reeks of something, eh? I left work early that day, already noxious from the fumes of the shit hitting the fan. So again, this Black Shirt Day™ is supposed to symbolize…something. Maybe that part of the message got truncated. Filed under: Jobs and Work Comments: 7 Comments |
