Open Wide and Take a Bite of Humble Pie............

Hello, there everybody! I have great news I finally have a job! Now, before I tell you about this job let me tell you how I wound up with it. At about 10:00 this morning, I got a call from Georgia State University, the place where I'd just had my successful second interview the week before. I thought dude was calling me to tell me that I had the job.........not. He told me that due to some budget cuts and blah, blah, blah. In short, he told me I didn't get the job and he'll be in contact or I could reapply at a later date and blah, blah, blah. After I hung up the phone. I admit it, the Diva was crushed, but not really ready to break down and boohoo like a bia bia. Well, I knew it was God's divine plan working and there was nothing that I could do but just sit back and just do his will. Anyway, I called my friend and told her the bad news. Well, as fate would have it, her company was looking for someone. Now, I'm not too crazy about my friend's line of work, but I kinda get orgasmic when I think about controlling people. Oooh, my thighs are quivering now just thinking about it. Oops, sorry false alarm, my thighs are still moving from when I sat down in my chair. Well, moving on, she makes a couple of phone calls and wham bam, I got an interview ma'am. So, I met these two dudes and impressed the hell out of them and in two hours after the initial interview, I got the job. Wow, it's amazing how I went from interviewing and not getting a damn thing to having one interview and getting a job. The hours are what I need because now I can go to school full time to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse, doctor, radiologist, or what the hell ever and I don't have to worry about those pesky daycare costs because my sister is going to keep my little Peanut for the lo lo.

Now, I know you all have been wondering about the downside to all of this, well, here it goes....

1. I'm taking an $8,000 paycut
2. The hours are from 4pm-12 midnight
3. I have to wear an uniform
4. I'm a *sobbing uncontrollably while laughing hysterically*a fucking security officer.

Needless to say, I'm a little embarrassed. The whole time I was interviewing with the dudes they kept telling me they were skeptical about hiring me because I was overqualified. Well, that was a first. Every job I've been interviewing for has told me otherwise (notation, the people who were telling me I wasn't qualified were white. Still don't think we need Affirmative Action?) So, I had to reassure them that nobody's interested in a Black female with Bachelor's of Business Administration degree with an incredible professional background (damn, arrogance is a dangerous thing). Anyway the moral of this story is, to humble yourself is a task, it takes a lot persuasion on your ego's part to make you realize that you're not the shitake. In closing, I have this to say.......freeze muthasucka! I'm an officer of the muthasucking law! (Well, not quite. Just only in the building that I'm patrolling). Until the next time..........
