New Job .....NOT

Has it really been over a week since I last posted? I feel myself slipping into my old ways. But I have been pissed!





Anywho I have an update that is so terrible for me. I had to turn down my wonderful new job due to salary issues. Have you ever been lied to on a job? We had already established they would meet my salary request. Then some other bitch in HR came up with that there were equity issues in the department. WTF??????!!!!!! Equity issues. So basically they decided they did not want to meet my salary request because I would be making more than the white people in the department. no offense to the white people in the blog world who stop by here, but I would have been the only me in the building**Ummm I have more experience.**

I even tried to compromise. If they would pay for my parking pass (100 DOLLARS PER MONTH TO PARK) and allow one paid day off per week I would accept my previous salary. Those fools were still trying to underpay me.

I took a bold possibly stupid  stand during these economic times, I had to pass on the position.
I wrote a scathing email to all concerned and the main human resource department, employee relations, etc. I was so pissed.

Those mufukas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I see why fools be shooting up in the work place.

So pray for me as I apply for more jobs, and start the interview process all over again.

Those mufukas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Idea A Hair Journey

After doing some extensive research, I found a few hair blogs and forums about growing out relaxed hair.
I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited. Each of these blogs gives detailed instructions about growing out  relaxed hair to achieve length and healthy hair.  Again, sooooooooooo excited. I wish had found this out six months ago.

I'm about to start an additional blog charting my Hair Journey as it's called on the blogs. I don't know what my current length is called. It is in between neck length and shoulder length(i know short). I'm going to get my length back with co-washing, protein treatments, oil treatments, using really quality products, sealing my ends, taking vitamins, stretching my relaxers and always using a silk or satin scarf to tie my hair at night. I hope I included everything!

I'll include more information and links to those sites on my new blog.

Don't sleep on Maybelline. They're trying to step it up!

I got this fab new eyeshadow at Walgreen's I went in to pick up a few things and they had this huge display showcasing these new shadows. OOH EMMM GEE!!!! The colors are really pretty. I'm normally a MAC/ Stila/ Bare Escentials/ anything at Sephora girl.

But wooweee!

I picked up the New Eye Studio™ Color Plush™ Silk Eyeshadow in Give Me Gold. The colors are so vibrant. I highly recommend it if you like a subtle sparkle eyeshadow. (I'm a sparkly, shiny, kind of girl. ; ) and they apply great. Like Stila eyeshadow really silky and smooth.

theCaptain


I was thinking about theCaptain today... and I had some  random thoughts about him that I want to clarify.

I have checked out out quite a few blogs and the women all have made up names for their signif others. I have read about Mr. 1969, Mr. Wonderful, Mr. Incredible, Mr Darling, The Count, The Boy, Vh1. just  to name a few.

I thought about why I named theCaptain theCaptain. I was thinking my blog fam and lurkers might think it was from E-40's Captain Save A Hoe. **Absolutely NOT!!! in Frankie voice**

To me theCaptain is soooo old school, He is the first beats of Al Greens Love an Happiness **shout out to Don**, an old OJays song and I named him based on this old skool song by Lakeside called Fantastic Voyage. Thanks mom for introducing me to good soul music.

And the beat is so Funky ass Funky *shout out to slaus at OHN*

The lyrics to the song are I'm theCaptain of this vessel, we wanna take you on a cruise...
                                      Were the directors of this cruiseship and you are under our command...

and this is what I hear **I'm theCaptain of this vessel and you are under my command** I know I know crazy



I feel like this ALL THE DAMN TIME just out of control and under his command. But when it is GOOD. Damn it is a fuggin Fantastic Voyage.  I  know this post is totally out of left field but I mentioned theCaptain to my friend and she immediately went to save-a-hoe. *side eye* on that ish. Is you trying to call Moi a hoe on the sly.  Yes, my educated azz said is you LOL!

New Job Alert!!!



If you read back a ways like when I first started this blog  you will remember I was laid off from my job July 2008.Or maybe I didn't mention it I think I just stopped blogging At the time I was a little sad because I really liked my position and I was FINALLY in a job that my degree was being used. But I had some money saved and my unemployment would be sufficient. So I was cool and I think I needed the break.
 During my break I was able to focus on school. If you don't know I am doing the neccessary steps Earn M.A. and Phd to one day be a professor at a university. Anywhoo I started applying for jobs in October 2009 And drumroll please I got a new job!!! It is similiar to what I used too do,and get this the position is right down the street from my old job. Oh yeah and more MONEY$$ *Holla* in Frankie voice.

A Freakin Hairtastrophe!!


Okay so in the summer I decided I wanted to go natural. Clearly someone with too much free time
I had a relaxer and my hair was pretty long. But the upkeep was expensive. I used to go to the salon every week. Got bored with that too needed a break. 

Since I've been in the blog world I've found a lot of sites where people have gone natural so I thought I would give it a try.

Long story short... I had not had a relaxer since June. I had a lot of new growth and I wore braids as I transitioned? So theCaptain thought my braids were cute **swoon** but he could not grasp the whole going natural thing. Once I explained it he was like oh hell naw!!! Then there is the BIG CHOP!! You have to CUT the relaxer off.WTF??!!! So I guess I missed the memo on that part. My relaxed hair was to the middle of my back.  I did not cut the relaxer. I don't know. I just couldn't.  I figured I could trim as I go once my natural hair grew out. But my hair disagreed. My new growth and relaxed hair tangled. Aaaaahhh nightmare!!

Long long story short. I went to the salon today and got a relaxer couldn't take the natural any longer and guess what?????? my stylist gave me the BIG CHOP anyway. Cause my hair broke off She was so disappointed. She was like what were you thinking? If you wanted to go natural I could have pressed out your new growth until it grew. So now I have a shorter style it's not at my neck but right before my shoulders. TheCaptain has not seen it yet. Oh Gawd! but he told me I would be cute with short hair too. so we'll see.

The Month of Love

My nephew told my sister it is the month of love Ma. They had just returned home from a B-day party we all attended. It was 12:00 am. She smiled, he came over and kissed and hugged her. She said awww that's so sweet but it's Jan 30 you got 2 days boo. He then proceeds to tell her he and his girlfriend wanted to go cupcake somewhere. She was likeWhen? he said NOW!

She said boy you playing it's midnite and you're 15 where are you trying to go this time of night? He proceeds to try to stare her down. She said boy you better go to bed and get some rest cause you are clearly tired and have LOST your mind! Hilarious
