Strike
So i finally went on strike today. I let my boss know that it's been 7 weeks and i've spoken to everyone at drexel at least 3x and i'm done talkin. I want my ca$h and i want it by this friday or else don't expect me to come in. They're gonna be a man short, maybe that'll put some pressure on them to get Drexel to cut me a goddamn check. They have the $$$, they can take care of it as soon as it takes them to sign the check. But Drexel seems to want to keep their reputation of having a crappy administrative system. I went to see a lady whose office is in creese about my check last week and she's givin me some bullshit about how they don't mean for the whole process to take this long and be this annoying. I wanted to tell her that if that's the case, y don't ya'll change it and make it better? You guys are working around it instead of fixing it. It's like stepping over a shoe that you left in the middle of your floor. It's not supposed to be there, and yet you still leave it there. Sometimes you get so used to it being there and you forget about it. You may trip over it a couple times, but the energy that you use to avoid it you may as well use to put it in its right place. Same thing here. I was actually contemplating going on strike a while ago cuz mom and petal worried me that they might end up firing me. WTF sense does that make? How are you gonna not pay me for 7 weeks that i worked for ya'll and then go ahead and fire me when i decide to go on strike? It's bullshit and they know they can't fire me. It'll look bad for them and I may just get the courts involved in this. I'll sue for my job back, my back pay, and lawyers fees. Bastards got me fighting for my own fucking paycheck. That same lady told me that my paperwork is prolly sitting on someone's desk, cold chillin, waitin for them to take care of it. It's ridiculous that i gotta be chasin ppl to do their fucking job so i can get paid. Anyway, i just had to vent on that for a sec.
Like i said in my last entry, homegirl that was supposed to come down and spend the weekend w/me might not be comin. I told her that i was kinda hyped, but that everytime i get hyped about something i get real disappointed. She swore to me that she'll come thru, but it seems that she also wants to join a sorority and one of the stipulations on that is social probation. You're not allowed to talk to anyone, online, on the phone, no one. I'm guessin that that also includes leavin the campus to go spend a weekend in philly w/me. I was real disappointed at that, but i knew it was coming. I should always listen to rick, but i'm too gdamn stubborn. You're right rick, she's grimey. I know for a fact that she didn't mean it, but i asked her not to gas me up and she said she wouldn't. I guess that's my fault, i let myself get gassed. Oh well, there's always next year, or i can go up to see her. Maybe she'll be done w/her sorority business b4 i go on co-op. I'm not givin up on her quite yet. She's still cool ppls, regardless of what rick says. I love you though rick! "You're my boy, Rick! You're my boy!"
Anyway, i'll bounce for now. Next time i'll let ya'll know if they got shook from my strike and finally decided to pay me. I'll holla, lata.
