...ok... i'm over exaggerating... but!!!!!!
so... i was asked to write an article about a "wild/wacky/interesting" person. one of the suggestions was to write about the lady who wears crazy hats and sells newspapers. to me that is NOT interesting. that's just... ridiculous. so........ i was at work... the boys & girls club, and i looked around and i thought, well these kids interest me, might as well write about them. so i did. (you can read the article in my previous post.) so, i let my supervisor read it, and she said she liked it, but that i should have gotten it approved because she knew that the upper ups would NOT like it. well... whatever. so yesterday, someone from the panorama, the magazine that i wrote the article for, called the boys & girls club and asked if they could come in and take photos for the magazine. they said that they would need to approve of the article first. well... they got the article today. and they're NOT happy. i have to preface this with, these women are terribly manipulative. not my supervisor, jessica, but HER supervisors, maria and sabrina. i dont' want to get into a whole explanation of WHAT kind of people they are, because, i know that will be misconstrued as character defamation. let me just say, the way these people run this facility is all based upon politics. and not GOOD politics. this aint no obama administration. this is the kind of politics that caused edcouch-elsa isd to loose over 200 hundred employees because of how mismanaged it was. basically... valley politics. so... i got a phone call today from jessica, and she was like... please call me back. they're very upset. they're very upset with me. i called my editor and told her, and courtney basically said... this is bullshit. so... she talked to HER supervisor and... we're still running the story. i'm just changing the names to aliases and i'm supposed to basically write a little disclaimer of sorts saying that i got to know these kids while working for the club. so... yeah. :D
i'm worried for jessica, because they have already been threatening her with losing her job, and i think this might just push them over the edge to do it. so... if i find out that they do, i'm going to raise hell.
as always... peace in the middle east!
