Being Prejudged....Not A Good Look
So just to jump into this thing, I've started a new job at another non-profit *rolls eyes extra hard* that has had a ton of turnover in the Accounts Payable position (the one I'm working in). People quitting or just not a fit for the organization....etc.
So I start the 2nd week of July and I am doing well and out of the blue I get a call about [timeline and "chatting" with folks], really now seriously! I understand the timeline but you have to take into consideration I'm new to how these folks do things and am STILL learning all the timelines and due dates for things.
Now a sister is feeling some very weird vibes off these folks like they already pre-judged me to be like everyone else. This is unfair I'm not the other people who have had this position before! This is why pre-judging is a pet peeve of mine don't judge me let me work for myself and you judge the work!!! Also another one of these out of place emails shows up about "chatting" and I'm over here trying to figure out who the HELL I was talking to....myself?!?!?!?!?!? I'm not socialable at all on this job, yeah I'm polite and friendly but I'm there to get my check!! Not make friends!
Today..well not just today the last few days I've let this get to me and now I have a tension migraine to show for it.....*rolls eyes* Ouch! I want to say something soooooo bad but I digress, just going to keep my mouth shut and work. I'm going to even cut the "friendly" and "polite" to a minimum so their won't be ANY misunderstandings about what I say if NOTHING is said. I just want my check it's bad when you have to do it like this and I don't want any calls about me having a "cold" or "distant" demeanor as long as their work is done!
I apologize for one of the ranting posts but a sister just had to get this off her chest really quick.

I'm Thinking About Gelish!!!

Don't ask me what color this is but I love it!! lol So I went online to see if this was something a person could do at home and found that with the right equipment and a little detective work with finding the best price on the polishes that is is possible. Right now my piggy bank is squealing because it's belly is empty so this will be a project in the upcoming months lol. I promise and make sure you all remind me to add this lol.
The Brand
The company is called Nail Harmony and to the left is a sample of how the bottle looks. Currently there are 72 colors of gelish polish and the manufacturer also sells the cleanser and the soak off liquid. As well the foundation and top coats. One important thing about this stuff DON'T SHAKE IT!!! It is a gel not a traditional polish and shaking will cause bubbles and that will make the polish cure all kinds of funky, not a good look. Also make sure to cure under the UV Lamp at least two minutes between each step!
Nail Harmony Gelish Products
72 Colors Available
Also it is pretty easy to find a basic 36watt UV Lamp this is the basic wattage needed to cure this type of product these can easily be found on Amazon or Ebay starting from about $30.00 and up to about $150.00 for the fancier lamps.

Summer & Relationships
People have come up with all these complicated ideas about what they "require " or some outlandish immortal list of perfection (last time I checked Jesus didn't date #justsaying).
Well I know the judgments coming for what I'm about to say but oh well. All I NEED is a HEALTHY relationship (novel idea isn't it). Just simplicity and the basics honesty, intelligence, ethics, respect, communication and a few others just common sense things like fidelity, companionship, friendship.
I say this because life is complicated enough my relationships need to be simple and not full of chaos.
Well let me get off my soapbox and back to work *deuces *

Working With "Us"
I'm not trying to be mean sound like a bigot or be uppity, but working with majority black people can royally suck sometimes. It seems if all standard professional decorum just goes out the window. Then it is replaced with a hybrid of hood mentality, barn yard antics, and bad imitation or shall I say lacking attempt at office etiquette.
I know working with other races is not easy either. But, I have noticed that a culturally mixed office environment always seems more peaceful, but this is just my opinion.
