don’t cut off your nose to spite your face

there is a saying that i love:

“Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face”

it means doing something destructive out of anger or jealousy,
but ending up hurting yourself in the process.
this is what’s happening at my ex-job now.
karma came quicker than i expected…

they told me i was fired on my voicemail

so it’s done.
i woke up to a voicemail from my head huntress letting me know.
she was shocked how good i sounded.
i felt relieved after i told her why.
what impressed me was my spirit tho…

i can’t hold down a job

most of us can’t hold down one (or more) of the following:

jobs
money
relationships
friendships

we’ll turn up our noses at someone else’s struggles,
but forget we have struggles in other areas too.

“What about that male that just dropped you?
You just met him and after 2 months,
you are single again and looking for a new relationship.”

“What about that money you spent so frivolously?”

“what about yet another friendship that’s ended?
All these 
ex-friends have the same story about you…”

so i have another job that is probably on it’s last legs.
a side of me didn’t want to post about it.
i share pretty much everything,
but i was embarrassed about potentially being unemployed again.
it’s like being embarrassed about flexing about your relationship,
but it ends because your partner was cheating.
a foxholer,
who i don’t know if was being shady or not,
pointed out how i can’t hold down a job.
while it stung a little,
as i was insecure about it lowkey,
it allowed me to take a step back to figure shit out…

more job bullshit; another tasty pitcher of lemonade

“I had my ups and downs, but I always find the inner strength to pull myself up. I was served lemons, but I made lemonade.”

i’m grateful for all the shit i been through.
i’ve been fucked pretty hard in my past that i’m almost numb to pain now.
i use to get depressed when things went wrong.
now,
i want to make a big pitcher of lemonade and indulge.

this could be before or after i make my enemies my footstools.
so i found out they’re interviewing folks to replace me…

finding myself in a quiet place

today was an interesting day to font the least.
i knew it was gonna be a shit show,
but who knew it would be in a quiet place.
  i didn’t sleep at all last night.
i fell asleep at like 11,
but i was up promptly at 230am.
from that point on…

“well we think…”

“well we think…”

anyone who works at a job,
especially in corporate,
knows that phrase pretty well.
it’s a phrase you will hear when your boss is about to screw you over.
sometimes it leads to great things,
but most of the time,
it’s the password to workload hell.
this is how it works…
