2 More Days to Go
Have you ever tried to leave a job and wait out your notice? It's so hard. There is the akwardness of hearing about your replacement, lurking around the building steering clear of you and everyone else is like, "Hate to see you go?" and "You will surely be missed!" IT'S LIKE GOING TO YOUR OWN FREAKING WAKE! Lord, Help Me.

my first real thanksgiving
Thanks for the support from all of you, as I voyage through all this job drama. I have LOADS to be greatful for......
1st off,....I have another job that I start as soon as I have finished working through my notice. It pay a whole lot more and I am the director. (much more prestiege) I will get to work on the masters,...for free. (ps. can you believe HATER SUPERVISOR had the audacity to come at me all concerned after the resignation like, "what are you gonna do? how will you survive?" (trying to get all up in my business)I told him, GOD takes care of his kids and I will be just fine! I will be better than fine because, little does he know,...I now make way more money than he does. HOW YA LIKE ME NOW,...BI-YATCH!?
2ndly,...My dog KAS is doing much better. Didn't think he would make it for a while there. His health is bad and he is old and I am not ready to let go.
3rd,...My sister is pregnant with the familys' first and only baby. (you know, I AM NOT THE ONE!)So I will have a hand at influencing a baby diva.
4th,...GOD HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF THIS BLACK CHILE! (this should have been first but I didn't want to retype, so please forgive and don't trip,....Mandy. =)
5th,....FINALLY GOT A NEW RIDE. NOW PEOPLE CAN STOP PICKIN' AT ME.
6th and final,....My mom died in 94. Yall, it has taken me 10yrs to finally try to pull a semi-MAMA STYLE THANKSGIVING! I haven't wanted any parts of sould food because I would immediately think of her and become miserable. I'd find myself envious of anyone that still had their mom. I would even get pissed at those that would invite me over. I felt it was like rubbing it in my face. (eventhough I knew it wasn't the intention) But now my friends, I think I am ready to try. Of course there is that 'CAN'T COOK' thing. But NO FRIENDS! I refuse to let that stop me. I designed this table setting. I made the name holders, made the glasses to match the plates and the menu board. I am pretty proud of it. I even ordered a Turkey from MEAT SLANGERS. I am starting to get excited. This is my first real THANKSGIVING since my mom's death and instead of sadness,...I AM FEELING PRETTY GREAT & FULL!

RESIGNATION.....REJECTED?
So I send them my resignation and begin to work out the 2wks notice. Let me break down the LOCAL chain of command. There is the BIG BOSS (General Manager), the Semi-BOSS (Operations Manager) and Supervisor (Hating Ass Program Director).
So the BIG & SEMI BOSSES are freaking out and wanting to schedule an emergency meeting. They asked if I was leaving because they wanted to throw me on the HipHop Station. I said, "Well, that got the ball rolling." They were like, WHY? I had to break it down like this,.....
First off, I don't want to offend anyone but there are too many negative images affiliated with that industry. I have worked too hard to make a difference and work towards the positive, to contribute to the positive. I could understand if it was like an old school show and I got to play nothing but conscious stuff but we are in a different time. I mean, HELLO! people can't even give Quincy Jones a freaking award at HIS own magazine without folks showing their asses. It's ignorant. I don't want any part of that. I AM HERE TO REPRESENT!
So, I told them that my solution would make everyone happy. They said, "NO, because now we have 2 problems. We'd have an opening on your station and the HipHop station"
They said that they thought I had great talent and fed me that, you could bring positivity to HipHop crap. Still ya'll, IT AIN'T ME. I'm a 35yr old, educated Black woman with no children....IT AIN'T ME! When I listen to HipHop, It's that old PE, that old Beastie (yall know yall loved BRASS MONKEY) and it was Tribe/Jungle/DeLa. The Stuff today is CRAP! Alot of it is derogatory and disrespectful. I'm with Ice T when he says REAL GANGSTAS don't rap/dance/entertain. It's total B.S.
Okay so ANYWAZ, they asked if they could sit on my resignation. I was curious as to why. The other dj's would resent me because they'd think the company payed me extra to stay. HATER Supervisor would make my life HELL, and even on the Urban end, the HipHop audience could spot an imposter. They said they still wanted to fix things.
Meanwhile, Hater Supervisor sends me an email with this question,....
serious or just a strategy?
I WANTED TO CUSS THAT MUTHA FREAKER OUT!!! But, I maintained my composure and sent back a happy face with devil eyes ******insert menacing Vincent Price laugh******
BRILLIANT!
13 more days, to stay strong......
