Was that a question?“No, to my bed.”

“If you exercise, you wouldn’t be so tired.”

If I wanted your advice, I would’ve asked. “Exactly where would I fit that into my full day?”

“I workout in the morning before work.”

Good for you. “I will consider that,” never!

I stood there like a statue, waiting for him to move out of my way. I had to buck my eyes at him in order for him to step aside. I whizzed by him and when I looked back; he was nowhere in sight.

After taking the elevator down, I stepped outside the building into the warm night air. I felt a renewed sense of purpose. This job may not be easy, but the potential for growth remained. I could do this. I was going to stick it out. I had a plan. I was going to update my LinkedIn profile and send my resume to HR.

When I arrived at home, I was so tired I took a long nap. I woke up late and that meant I was going to be up all night. I took a bubble bath and crawled into bed around midnight. I couldn’t sleep so I opened my MacBook and started looking for things I didn’t need. I was on a tight budget because I didn’t know how long I would be employed.

After a while I thought about this website I used to frequent called Boss Be Damned. I typed a few letters in and the site came up automatically in my search bar. I needed to vent. Jordyn was probably asleep and tired of me. I couldn’t call her again and tell her how I couldn’t get my boss, the ignorant bastard off my mind and out of my head. I joined one of the chatrooms and started typing.

Advice Needed!

BrownChica357:I don’t usually do this. I don’t ever come on Beyoncé’s internet telling my personal business but… Where do I begin? Apex Staffing sent me to some big name company for a temp position. So yeah, I don’t have a regular job, but that’s another story. I went there dressed to impress because that’s how I do. I get trained and everything seemed cool until my immediate boss pops up from out of nowhere. Come to find out, he’s everybody’s damn boss. He is the CEO of the company. He owns the whole damn thing. This man does not even call me by my name. He calls me “temp girl”. Seriously? I got a whole ass government name and he don’t even care to address me by it.

This man, who I call (Malibu Ken) in my head sometimes, fires, like terminates, 2 employees in my first two weeks I’m at the job. Like, my guy, what are you doing? You know what that means? The rest of us have to pick up the slack. I’m trying so hard to stay at this company but Malibu Ken is working my first nerve, my second nerve and my last and final nerve. My mama used to play this song called Unleash the Dragon by somebody named Sisquo. The lyrics was like: “Y’all gonna make me. Unleash the Dragon. I know you don’t really wanna unleash the dragon.”

I’m that MF-ing Dragon!!! The MF-ing Dragon is me. Bay-bee, call me Daeneyrys Targaryen cause I’m one more insult away from DRACARYS!!!

My bestie was always talking me off the ledge cause I wanna leave this damn job real bad. Wait! I didn’t even mention this MF called me a slave. Where they do that at??? It took the strength of the ancestors to keep me from whooping his ass. I need those hoes over at Apex Staffing to place me somewhere else. But this is only a four to five month assignment. Boss Be Damned ladies, I need this money. What should I do?

And no, I do not have any bail money. If I did I would have my answer.

TIA.

OldMiami432:Go off! Let Malibu Ken know you are not the one. Five months is a long time to bite your tongue. LOL!!!

BrownChica357:I really want to go off but I’m the type that holds my true feelings inside.

77793Eleven:That’s a lot to digest. It depends on how bad you need this job.

BrownChica357:Michael Jackson Bad. lol

77793Eleven:Sorry girl but you need to find another job for your mental health.

BrownChica357:That’s my plan. Hopefully I’ll find something soon.

TeaSpiller559:I would cause chaos in his life and make him believe he’s losing his mind.

BrownChica357:What do you mean by chaos?

TeaSpiller559:Stress him out so he’s thinking about other stuff. Like put hair remover in his comb so his hair falls out. Put laxatives in his coffee so he blowing up the bathroom. He will be distracted and leave you alone.

BrownChica357:That evil man probably has hidden cameras all over the office.

After typing my last response I fell asleep with my MacBook on my lap.
