Month: September 2006

I was looking out of the window watching the trees. It amazes me how beautiful  tall and “handsome” they are. I adore trees. If I stare at them too hard, I promise you I will break out and cry. I dont know why I let my mind go so deep sometimes.

The reason why I would cry is because, they know when the weather is turning. Here we are  walking around talking, drinking, partying, working, eating, sexing, doing what ever we want to do, and still they know what time it is. The dont talk, they dont go places, they just stand there and be beautiful. They have many visitors ( birds, bees, flies, squarrels,  bugs etc, but they still stand tall. They know what they are.

I love when the leaves  turn colors. Its like saying they are on their way to “bed” for the winter. And you know whats so funny? They know when to wake up.

When I say God is the bomb, you better hear me! Those trees know who our maker is, and they dont talk. But us…………………….. we still doing what we want to do.

The end is near yall, get some where on your knees, and ask the Lord, what am I suppose to be doing? What is my assignment Lord?

29He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree

and all the trees. 30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.  Luke 21 (New International Version)

Its  not about you!

Hey Yahoo!

 

I know its been a while, guess I have been busy and not blogging the way I know how. I enjoy stopping by and reading blogs, I really learn a lot from yall for real! I love to read, so Im telling you, I can sit for hours on this computer like I aint got nothing else to do in the world. lolll Its all good tho.

 

Well tonight I need to vent, cause I swear Im bout to exploded. For one, I cant stand people and will not hesitate to confront those who like to throw their authority around over someone. The story Im about to tell is so why the bible talks tells us that God is the one who cares and takes care of us. If you leave it up to man they will disappoint you everytime.Psalm 146 (New International Version) 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.

 

A few weeks ago, my coworker came up to me and was telling me that the night before, when it came time to punch out @ 10:30 that the manger of the store stood at the front door and made people go back to the time clock and punch back in because the store wasn\’t clean. Now no member of management is suppose to say a word to you after you are  punched off the clock. If you are on lunch and you have clocked out ( one hour is our lunch time) they are suppose to wait until you punch back in to ask you anything. Its funny how when you are on lunch and you see a manager and need to ask a quick question how fast they will brush you off and say, \”I cant talk to you right now you\’re on lunch\”. But as soon as it benefits them its okay. Well I don\’t play that mess! Don\’t even look at me when I\’m on lunch, dont mention anything to me work related at all.

 

 Well, some people were so afraid of losing their jobs that they went back and punched back in. I was sooooooooooooo upset when I heard that. Our store manger knows doggond well that if you are scheduled to work until 10:30 and you punch out at 10:30 that its time for you to go home. I don\’t care of the store was cleaned or not. That\’s the Assistant managers job to make sure that the store was cleaned before it was time for those employees to leave. They have a list of folks name who is suppose to leave. We are cashiers. When the store is closed at 10:00 and all the guest are gone by 10:15 I don\’t mind  and will do anything they ask inside those 15 minutes. I\’m not going to ring up and handle all the money in the store of 7hrs and 45 minutes, then go to a department and make sure its in tip top  condition before I leave. YEAHHHHHHH WHATEVA! That\’s not my job. I do what I can inside of what\’s left.

 

Do yall know people had their rides outside waiting for them, some had to catch the bus home, some had to pick up their kids from the babysitter. It was so sad how much power the manager had over these women, who came to work done their jobs and couldn\’t leave the store, because they had to punch back in and work over their schedule time. If I sit here and think about it to hard, I will cry. Because that is wrong. She knows that is wrong but she is only going to do it because she needs the store cleaned, and she knows how much power she has over their jobs. She knows they don\’t want any trouble. One gurl cried, and still she had to punch back in and work until Debbie \”call it\”. Means call it quits for the night.

 

See but you know what? It could neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  be me . Every night I close, I hope and I wish one of them would say that to me. See let me say this. Debbie knows that if she goes and stand by the time clock and tell folks they cant punch out,  she would be on camera, because its a camera right there. If she really wanted them to stay, she would block the time clock, but she\’s smart. so she stands by the  front door AND TALK TO THEM WHILE THEY ARE OFF THE CLOCK, THAT IS A Violation AGAINST WALMART AND ITS EMPLOYEES! And she knows it. So the people that know its wrong without a doubt were looking at her like she was crazy, walked right passed her and out the door. (hehe)

 

I\’m not even going to lie, if she everrrrrrrrr in her lifeeeeeeee (the Christmas Season is coming too) tells me after or before its time for me to leave, that I have to punch back in, I\’m going to set it off! Not in a bad way, but Im going to make sure that I say what I have to in front of everybody, in a nice, aggressive voice, and a facial expression that\’s going to take her back to her mom getting on her about something in her teen years. And that\’s on everythang!

 

Years ago, I signed a paper saying my availability is from 6 am to 10:30pm. They can use me inside those hours anything after those hours IS ON MY TIME! By the time clock we have a schedule that\’s written 3 weeks in advance and it says under my name when I can start and how long I can stay. They paper that\’s SIGNED by a manager 2 years, will stand up in any court of Law!

 

I would say Debbie…………….first of all. You have no business  saying anything to me work related ( when she tells me to punch back in). . That\’s Walmart\’s policy and you know it!

 

 # 2. I signed a paper stating that my availability is until 10:30 pm. I gave you 9 hours today( im full time) and so anytime after that, you are ASKING ME TO STAY , not telling me.

 

#3 Then the final thing, I\’m going to tell her that I\’m going to call the 1800WALMART# and ask them why do the managers still talk to the employees at OUR store after they have punched out, BUT not at other stores. ( put her out there)

 

Our manager doesn\’t have any kids, or boyfriend. So she don\’t know or have a clue as too what its like for your child to be sick, or you have to take a leave of absent because you have to take care of your mother or father. She feels that even though she cant say with her own mouth and words that everyone should be like her, she treats people the way she lives her life. The compassion is so not there. I just don\’t know what to say. except, I\’m waiting on a night for her to tell me to punch back in.

 

This is one of the reasons why you can\’t treasure your job, because its everyday people like my manager, that will make sure they can make you or break you. See I don\’t have to look at my past with walmart and hold anything back that night she ask me to punch back in. NONE OF THEM HAVE ANYTHING over my head. When people got something over you, please believe that you are under their spell. They cant threatened me with my job, because I know I\’m there for a season. I know when God says its time to go, its time to go. But I will make sure its not on my part.

 

 If you don\’t know anything else, know that God is in charge, yeahhhhhhhh even at your $45.000 job. @ your $20,000 job, @ your $75,000 a year job. Know that when God says its time to leave, its time to leave. Stick with the truth, and die for it. Do what\’s right in the first place, and no one will have anything over your head.

 

Hey Yahoo Fam!

Well, as you know every other Sunday we have our meetings for the teen group that I started and founded 3 meetings  ago.. And our group name is  called Destiny! 

My coworker and good friend KiKi is my Co-Leader and we have been busy with these gurls.

 We have chosen 4 leaders and when I say they are the bomb, thats what I mean! On Sunday we ordered 10 Large pizzas, we had pops and juice. We told the Leaders that we wanted them to wash their hands, and serve the others, and let me tell you, these gurls did the dogone thang do you hear me? We ( me and Kiki) looked up and everyyyyybody was eating inside of 5 mintues. We made them get together themselves and decide who was going to pass out napkins, plates, the pizza and the pop. Thats all we told them and they decided among themselves who was going to do what and they got it done! Thats what you call Leadership! Getting it done!

I looooooove my gurls so much. I never knew that God had this for me to do. I beleive that I raised my child as best as I could. She is in school and doing so good. But I always had this gift to communicate well with teens. Its like we speak the same language. I can be  an adult when I communicate, and I can talk their talk. See the key is to watch programs with your child, go inside of their world. We treat our kids, like OUR KIDS,  and forget that they are growing up and would love for their parents to \”understand\”, and I tell my teens parents that we have to remember that we once were kids too, so dont act like you didnt do those things they are doing, just try to be \”understanding\”.

Thats the whole key. My daughter watches Raven, and sweet 16 to see the fashions and how other teens live, and I be right in there with her. She watches the videos and Im right in there witih her ………sometimes,  ( it gets on my nerves), she watches her stuff and we as parents have to go there with them in order to understand them better. Thats why me and Neisha have the relationship we have, because I make sure that I come into her world.

This weeks meeting my God daughter spoke to the teens about teenage pregnacy and she did a good job. The gurls really listned to her. I thought that was very helpful. Later on we talked about RULES! We wanted to talk to them about it because being a teen they wonder why they have to follow the rules their parents set.  We had rules grwoing up, even at a job you have rules……..come on now!!!!!. As soon as they read the next sentence about parents and rules, they knew where we were going with it, and they GOT IT! LOL Rules are rules. If you dont want anyone coming to your room messing up and disrespecting it, then thats how momma feel about the rules in her house.

Just tonight me and KiKi called the 4 Leaders and told them that we are taking them to a dinner buffet on Sunday @ 4pm. They are sooooooooooo excited. We want to go over somethings with them as far as their roles and break them off into groups were they will be responisble for them.

Thank you Jesus for giving me the vision, the patience, the love, the gift to do this. People ask me how do I do it, and its natural to me. When the gurls are with me all they do is hug on me and kiss me. They call me auntie ZZ. Thats my nickname.

This week we had at least 26 or 27 gurls. I have to go over my paper work for  the real count. Its growing week. So pray that God bless me with a home wayyyyyyyyy big enough to house them!

Amen???? Amen

Hello Yahoo Family!

Whats going on? I know I havent been bloggin much as I use too, but fall is approaching so you know what that means? Yep, being in the house more and on the computer.

About 3 weeks ago I got comcast as my internet service, and since then I have been able to watch the different things on Youtube, messed around and got hooked!!! Yep, credog got hooked. My daughter use to tell me all the time about youtube, but I didnt care to see it. Now Im addicted to the old videos, movie scenes, tv shows, sneak previews, concerts, and especially celebrity interviews. No waiting, no pauses and buffering! Ahhhhhh I hated that.

So allllllll this week, I am going to post something silly, stupid, spiritual, serious, and anything else I could think of. Youtube really helps me when I dont have anything to say. So since my gurl showed me how to do the dogone thang, its on and poppin!

Check this out!

 

If love looks and sounds like this……..ILL TAKE IT!

 

This is so cute. Just look at his facial expressions.

Have anyone had one of those days where you just feel sexy? I have been feeling like this for 3 days now. And I dont know what it is, but I’m lovingl it.

Today at work I was walking into Subway for my 15 mintue break. ( it’s inside of Walmart….) When I notice this guy was sitting in there with his son eating. As I was walking towards him to sit in the chairs behind his booth, he gave me this stare as if I was his new bride on our wedding night.

 I was wearing a pair of capri’s nothing special. When he saw me he was mesmorized, he didnt blink, he just gave me this look as if I was the prettest woman he has ever seen. I sat behind him on purpose, because I wanted to see just how interested he was. He finished his food, and as he got up he turned around and handed me his phone number. I dont know when this man wrote down that number, but he didnt care if my gurl KiKi was sitting there or not. I took the number , smiled and put it in my smock. He left. He came back after 5 mintues and ask me for my name.

What I liked about him was, he was different. What part? I dunno, but I will be calling him sometimes this weekend .

In the meantime, Im feeling romatic, and sexy.

Here is a song to represent my mood.
