1. It seems that my luck is changing for the better. It is about time! Sometimes when you are at a wall in life, you have to start chiseling through. I have been feeling complacent in my life, so I decided to do something about it. I started out volunteering for the local Democratic party back in May. I wasn't getting paid or anything at first, I figured I would try to be productive. Then all of a sudden, a friend of mine back in Chicago who was working for the Obama campaign called me in late August, after the convention. She and I had worked on the Illinois branch of the Gore-Lieberman campaign and the Obama senatorial one. Anyway she heard I was back at it, and she pulled some strings for me to become a paid staffer in Texas. So for the next few months I worked to train volunteers and run voter registration drives, etc.
Towards the end, I met up with these two guys who offered me to apply for the financial literacy navigator position with the ASSET program, which was a non profit organization designed to assist disabled people with the purchase of a home. I went through 4 interviews, but ultimately I wasn't selected, which bummed me out. The next day, I get a call from another non profit organization to come in for an interview. They somehow received my resume and where impressed by it. I interviewed and I was hired on the spot. So now I have a job starting in December. HOLLA! It has benefits, paid sick/personal days, health care, the works...and it is salary... Yeah buddy!!
2. It seems that a couple of so-called friends I associate with are being somewhat shady and fickle. I wish there wasn't so much drama around. The hypocrisy, back biting and clandestine stupidity needs to stop. Yes, I know what's up. You can stop treating me like I am Boo Boo the Fool with your lame excuses. Yes, I am putting it on blast, because we are supposed to be better than this. There are some people that need to examine themselves and think about what true friendship is. That said, if you don't want to talk with me, then that is okay. My life will go on without you. And before people get their stank attitudes started, this message is NOT for everybody. However, if you think it is about you...well then it just might be.
Peace.
