Oh my my, Oh my... SHE FLY!!

I need to just dump today!  So much on mu mind good, stuff, bad stuff, stuff I can change, and shit I can't.


DRIVING
Last week I pick up a little boy and take him near Edmonson Village. He was in the back listening to music and I guess just checking texts or whatever on the phone.  Then I hear snoring!!  My dude was tired which I so understand because I can get that tired myself. So as we get close to the address I am asking for confirmation and he is just knocked out!  I picked him up at Wendy's and I know those fast food places can really work you.  He is going to the Dollar General and I was prying he wasn't going to work more, but he was meeting his wife and then I had to get a better look at him.  He was young but I guess 20 year olds can have wives.  So anyway that was it.  I pick another little boy and this fool says something about people being older in there 40's and I'm like WAIT I'M OLDER CUASE IM IN MY 40's?!?!?  And then the convo turned to sex... UH what I won't do is discuss sex with YOU baby!! OH is that right you had someone who was 47!??!  That's nice.. Where do you work?  OH really she thought you were really good for a young dude.  (in my mind probably not but whatever you say!!) SO... you been working there How long?!?! OH yeah... blah blah blah... And then I turn around and get a real good look at him.  And I'm like YOU ARE WAY TO YOUNG AND UNCUTE FOR ME LIL BOY!!!  Have a nice day!! **LONG SIGH**


WORK
I have 50eleven jobs we all know that, but the main 9-5 is a place that has some of the nicest people.  I mean EVERYONE speaks which is such a departure from other places.  I can say HELLO and look directly at them in the face and they look beyond me to speak to the person they know... This is at the other place.  Here folks will wave you down to make sure you know they were speaking to you which is kinda nice.  But there is this one woman who looks like a monchichi... They were those little monkey like toys back in the day (the 80's oh what a wonderful time to grow up!!).  I think it's her little forehead that makes me think this.  And then there is the woman who let me know she didn't vote.  NOW what you won't do is constantly complain.  I would have had more respect for her if she said she vote for the orange turd.  But I take my civic responsibility VERY seriously and I have no time for her and people like her!! There are high cube walls here and it's very petty how some of the offices are arranged.  Like I am right by the window by I still have to get up and look around to dee outside.  But I'm really not complaining.  My short ass attention span I would truly be watching the birds and squirrels and people coming and going AND EVERYTHING ELSE!!!.  OK someone has chick-fil-A and now that's what I want... but I know that line is hella long.  ALSO I have to keep reminding myself that today is Thursday because it feels like a Friday and I'm inclined to not come in tomorrow LOL and I need my lil coins!!  I
 am gonna head to RoFo... I need some chicken now!!


TV
American Gods - I'm glad I gave it a chance and even GLADDER I found a dude on the YouTube (Mike B) who breaks down every episode cause a chick be lost as hell!! And people in the comments add good stuff to also.  I was like OH old gods and new gods!!And then Orlando Jones... well no all of the cast is really good!! If you like sci-fi and/or fantasy and/or mythology AND religions then this is the show for you.
Downward Dog -any show based in Pittsburgh or Baltimore I am gonna watch!!  This one is based in Pittsburgh and the dog talks like he is really going throw a lot with the relationship between him and his human.  It is a cute show.  I hope it lasts
Sneaky Pete- This is on Amazon. When this fool decided to go to grandma and grandpa's house and say HEY IT'S ME PETE!!  I just about lost it I laughed so hard.  His name is Marius but has assumed the identity of his old cellmate Pete so he wouldn't get killed.  I should already be done but I am not a good binger LOL


FOOD
I am so annoyed right now.  I go to ROFO in the hopes of getting fried chicken wrap.  WHY is this so hard?  Either I order a grilled chicken wrap and tell you I want fried or order the fried chicken sub and tell you I want a wrap.  NOT ROCKET SCIENCE RIGHT?!?! Oh you would be wrong!!  So the little guy standing there is like no well we don't have that, BUT can you just make it anyway sir? Tell me how you want me to order it and I will.  So after a few minutes he says well just order the chicken sub and I'll make it a wrap.  COOL!! I do.. well the picture of the sub has lettuce and tomato so WHY would I think I needed to add that to my order? I get in the car take a bite NO TOMATO OR LETTUCE!!!  Now do I be petty... WELL YES LET'S BE PETTY.  I march in and ask for lettuce and tomato because you forgot to put it on my wrap.  Well it don't come like that.  BUT the picture has it so why would I think different? Well I can just remake it. NO I already took a bit just give me the lettuce and tomato.  So you just want the lettuce and tomato!??! YES JUST HAND ME SOME LETTUCE AND TOMATO BEFORE YOU START MAKING THE NEXT SANDWHICH!!!  LOL actually though it is pretty good now!! I know I startled him, but oh well!!
I went to the grocery store and actually had food every day last week.  This week I didn't do so well.  I did well with breakfast which was a breakfast quesadilla, but not lunch.  I'll strive to do better next week!!
While we're on the subject of lunch.  I am not an eat-at-my-desk kinda chick.  I think I do more now because I want to leave but for the most part I take a 20-30 minute break and eat somewhere other than my desk.  The woman that sits next to me eats at her desk everyday.  Now this wouldn't be a problem if she didn't crack open a can of tuna at least 2-3 times a week.  I have never been a tuna chick.  It smells bad and the flavor of canned tuna never sat well with me.  I will eat it, but it's not my favorite.  This fool opens a can eat a few bites, covers it with a paper towel and then proceeds to go to a meeting.  WAIT WTF just happened.  You crack the tuna seal let the stink permeate the air and then leave?!?!? No ma'am NO MA'AM!!  So when she gets back I says to her...uhhh... do you have some Tupperware? Then she says OH was it smelly?!?!  YES IT WAS  But I covered it... IT WAS TUNA, IT STILL STANK!!! Oh sorry.. YEAH DON'T DO THAT SHIT NO MORE (I didn't say that but I wanted to LOL).  She got the picture cause she hasn't brought it in no more this week

listening to a dumbass convo...

I don't know why it stuns me that little girls smoke weed.  Last night I drove 3 little girls who were suburban hood chicks.  They lived in Randallstown but they hang out  in the Village which is where I picked them up.  Well really what had happened is whatever dude they were hanging with drove them to the spot I was waiting.  Now me being me said... Why couldn't he have just drove you home?!?!  But after the exchange they had with him which at first I thought was innocent but turned into a fuck you battle (LOL) I knew why! Their mouths were terrible everything was fuck, bitch and nigga!  As a kid (well hell even now) I may have a potty mouth away from people.  Like in the car by myself you are a everything under the sun if you cut me off, but I don't speak like a sailor except well ON HERE and with my friends.  It's just not lady like and we all know I'm a fucking lady!! The last thing the 1 lil girl said to the guy was you better roll 5 fucking blunts for me when I get back.  I'm sitting there like REALLY!?!?!  And they all smelled like weed.  The conversation went from kids which I think only 2 of the 3 had kids and how some chick was ugly and her baby father was ugly so she might as well have got rid of the baby because they both ugly, to how the one was gonna wait until her boyfriend got out (of jail) before she even get pregnant (because that makes sense!) and OMG I want bad ass boys cause dats REAL cute ( wait WHAT!?!?) and someone finessed some dude (still not sure what that meant unless they just meant flirt? or chile I don't know) and then how some other dude was BROKE so why would they wanna have a baby with him and he ugly OH and fat bitches is nasty cause that's what my mother said and then at one point the 1 lil girl said cause he go to my church!  I know Jesus accepts us all even lil girls who have potty mouths, but I almost wrecked when she said that!!! So they needed to go to Petco, get weed, and pick up one of the lil girls babies, but not necessarily in that order.  I dropped them off and rolled ALL the windows down to air out my lil car.  I then spray and WHY did I do that cause the next lil girl who got in AGAIN smelled like weed!!!  Maybe because I don't smoke and since I have no visions of political anything (not that that matters anymore?), I can admit that I did inhale, but that 1st time I threw up for a good 20 minutes (all the chocolate that me and the chicks from 509 were eating... it was like a chocolate egg or something?!?!)  and the next time I just didn't like it.  It's just not my thing, but I really don't knock those that do, but it seems to be really mainstream, like EVERYONE does it but me! People used to do it in private, but now drive anywhere or walk anywhere (which was the case a few weeks ago when a random white guy and random black woman sat on a bench and puff puff passed as I walked by) and you just see it!! Anyway this lil girl was I thought going downtown but I ended up over east which that is a whole nuther thing I try to avoid while doing my good Lyft driving.  Nothing is wrong with the east side of Baltimore, but I live WEST and going east means a whole new world!  Thankfully it was only a block from Northeast Market which is a few blocks up from Hopkins so I didn't get completely lost.  While we passed Hopkins she said I dream of going to Hopkins one day and I swelled with pride like this was my alma mater And I was like OH are you in high school? she said no I'm in college... well community college.  I said well the community college system is really good so that is great!  I am still trying to understand the difference between these 2 sets of young ladies.  The 1st 3 had no other expectation than to be with a guy (or several guys) who may or may not go to jail and have babies! I gathered they graduated from Randallstown but that was it.  There was no drive no fire to aspire to anything more.  The next lil girl at very least had a desire to complete her education which I think opens your eyes to want to do more.  I knew what was expected of me.  Now I'm not saying I didn't make mistake and still trying to refine my path, but I understood I needed to go to church, participate, go to school, LEARN, and go to college... graduate (oh and not cut my hair but that's another conversation for another day LOL).  And I did all of the above!! How to you expect your child to succeed if they have no idea what they are supposed to do next?  They aren't supposed to figure it out. YOU as a parent need to set parameters.  Now I have all this great advice and alls I got a cat... but tell me where is the lie? Maybe that doesn't work for all kids and some don't need as strict a path. I prayed for all of those young ladies because I felt a little sad for them not knowing there was more to the world. So yeah.. it is still weighing heavy on my mind.


I worked a prom last week which I wrote about.  So several of the people I work with do not have cars.  One night I worked with a guy who waited until the exact moment I was walking out of the door to ask for a ride. He lived right up the street from me, but I had had ENOUGH of him so I really didn't feel like extra company.  And I wonder what exactly he would have done if I said no. One of the servers said he takes the bus which takes about an hour and a 1/2 and I asked him if he ever took an Uber of Lyft and this fool said out of his gold buck toothed teeth that he don't like getting in peoples cars.  Wait... so you get on a nasty who know WHO been on a public bus and travel all the way from Essex, but you won't get in someone's car cause you don't know them or what ever the hell reason you have?!?! Now I understand doing rideshare can be cost prohibitive.  I get it you want to pay $3 (or however much the bus costs) versus $25.  I drew a blank and just stared at him like OH ok.. Well I'm not going that way soooo... GOOD LUCK!!  I was so dog tired after I left there I wasn't taking no one nowhere, even the one guy who is kinda nice but I can only understand every 5th word because English is not his strong suit.  I'm taking this weekend (and probably next week too) off cause I am just tired.  My body does not appreciate all that I'm putting her through and then I have the nerve to not feed her well.  SO yeah it's somewhat of a revolt right now.  I'm off and I know it.  I kinda know what I need to do to get back on track but it's not as clear as it was as back in 2013 when I just KNEW!  I'm just running around doing a whole lot of everything and nothing all at the same time. And then... **YAWN**


There are several home projects I need to do and I'm not sure why I thought I could just pay someone to do them all since I am in a financial uuuhhh..... I am financially modest right now!!!  Better than saying broke, right? I have a girlfriend who just mulched and laid pavers!!!  SO now I think I can do anything!! I need to sledge hammer the concrete in the back and put some pavers down myself.  I can do it, because WHY NOT?!?! If I had a (sledge) hammer!!  LOL I just bought masonry paint for the pillars in the front of my house.  Now I only bought 1 gallon but somehow I think it will be enough.  I just watched a you tube where the guy measured and I was like WHO DOES THAT?!?!  I aint got time to measure and calculate shit! I just BUY PAINT!!! I need some black paint for the metal surfaces I have and I need to hit up an Ace and nope I didn't measure but a gallon will do it!! My lil hood adjacent house might actually look a lil cute this year. 

...what I'm posed to do now?

why are the FAQ never NEVER the questions I need answered?  Who are the people that come up with these questions?




Why do I have to 'talk' to the computer over the phone for a good 2-3 minutes before they will just go ahead and transfer me to a live person? 




why do cars speed up when they KNOW I need to get over into that lane?  I am friends with my turn signals so there is or should never be a question about what I'm doing.  But some people are just meanies.




I am convinced Lexus and Mercedes driver's either don't give a crap about their cars which makes NO sense since they spent SO much on it, OR they think they are exempt for accidents because they drive said cars. I get cut off more by these cars than others.  Last night the guy in a Lexus truck high beamed me because he wanted the right of way even though it made more sense for him to stop and let me go BUT he didn't and I stopped and he got by so maybe they are exempt!??


I'm not really doing as many outdoor activities as I would like.  This past weekend was also Capital Jazz but the line-up was just so/so.  I never really bothered to get tickets.  Last year I was a ticket arranging queen!!  I went Friday and Saturday.  This year I just didn't get anything together.  But 1 thing that has come back is Jazzy Summer Nights!  I love this because it has put me onto some artist that I still love like Anthony David, Deborah Bond, Sy Smith, EVEN Fertile Ground and Eric Roberson were featured artist back in the day!! And I'm glad I got to see Chuck Brown!!  His band and the energy of the go-go crowd is freaking amazing!  This past week was Jeff Bradshaw a trombone player out of Philly.  He has played with everyone!! I actually like his stuff but he tends to play other folks song but he keeps the crowd pumped.  Here's what had went wrong... SO I get there and peruse the scene and decide what I need to eat.  It is time for a lil chicken wing or something.  Island Quizine was set up, food ready and smelling good.  But they are right at the bottom of my street and I go there often enough and I wanted to try something new.  There were 3 or 4  other vendor and I chose 1.  Now I won't say their name because that's just not cool and they will eventually get it together but that night was not their night.  I get to the booth and see scrambling.  They are getting set up which doesn't annoy me, but it does raise somewhat of a flag because it is after 6 and they should be ready to go.  But I push on.  I see chicken wings ready and I decide to get fried fish because WHY would I get something I know is ready?!?!  (SMH) I have to get the little girls attention and basically beg her to take my money.  At this point my gut says CHICK go on over to Island Quizine because you know it's gonna be good and it's ready.  BUT NO I ignore my inner voice and order this food.  Once I place my order I expect for the guy at the fryer to throw some fish in the deep fryer, but nope, he adds more chicken.  I ask about how long it's going to be and she says I'll bring it to you.  I point out my pink chair and I'm like COOL!!  But then 15 minutes pass I look back and no one is coming my way.  A 1/2 hour passes and I know good and damn well fish don't take 30 minutes to fry so I go back to the booth.  The lil girl says OH I didn't forget about you and I'm like OK but when is the fish gonna be done?  At this point there is more scrambling and general chaos of a very unorganized nature. There are like 3 other people trying to fill orders.  After another 10 minutes and asking EVERYONE when the fish was gonna be done AND people getting food before me when I know that I ordered and way before them I got really frustrated and was like well just give me my money back!  That's didn't work.  WHEN IS THE FISH GONNA BE DONE?!?!? Ok you know what just give me the wings and sides.  I really think I'm making out better.  I am thoroughly pissed but I grab my food and sit my hongry (which is way beyond hungry) ass down.  Grab a wing, it's good!!  Thank God because well... ok take a bite of the mac N Cheese.  Hole up WHY is this shit sweet?  I have never in all my years had sweet mac N cheese.  It was not good AT ALL!  So let me taste these greens that look so goo... WHY ARE THESE SHITS COLD AND SWEET?!?!  How do you make greens sweet?  And why are they sweet? WHY Little Baby Jesus?!?!  WHY???  I inhale the wings I really do want to go back and throw the sides on them.  I wanted fish and fries but I got wings and horrible sides. But I'm good my stomach was full and I'm going to find them on the Facebook and send them a lil note.


I worked a prom this weekend and it was really rather boring!  Maybe because I was just serving soda and juice or maybe because the dj was WHACK!! I felt his doucheiness when he came to my bar and didn't look up from his phone.  DOOD you are not that busy or important, so I ignored him.  The kids were nice enough.  But it was just a long night with NO tips LOL.  The dresses though UGH... so this is the one maybe even the 1st opportunity to wear a beautiful gown. But these girls just wore dresses that they could wear any day mainly to the beach or to the club.  They just were not very prom-like. Now there were a few gowns but the mainly freakum dresses.  This guys well I mean there is not much you can do with a tux.  There was 1 guy with white shoes with gold tips and a guy with a purple plaid jacket and they both looked like the NFL draft (I was gonna say clowns.. but they kids so I'll give them a pass) dudes. They had glow stick and flashy rings that I felt the need to put in my bag.  I have hoarding tendencies so YES they will go in the garbage soon but I needed them!  They also had a casino theme, so they got fake money and chips and I guess they had fun.  The people who ran the casino were the Dundalkiest people I have seen in a while and they all seemed a lil high.  And then management. **LOUD SIGH** I usually have a great disdain for managers, there is always 1 or 2 that are cool, but 90% of the time they are just assholes.  And this place is no different.  The 1 manager talks around me never asking me directly to do anything he'll say miss or ma'am, have Gus tell you where to find the candles or Gus go find the bowls for the mixed nuts and I'm standing right there... it's just frustrating and passive aggressive.  I worked with 1 of the newer bartenders who was extra for no good reason and toward the end of the night got very annoying and a bit racist. The company I work for is 95% Hispanic, so he would add O on the end of words thinking it was funny but it wasn't. And then they made me move tables and set tables and honestly, that aint in my job description.  My way of getting back at them is to take a big bottle of sprite! LOL
