Judge Not

You know what I cant stand? When you answer somebody's question about something regarding YOU, and they act like they dont believe you, because the answer makes them feel inferior.

I went to meet with this lady at a staffing agency last week, and she hooked me up with her homegirl who did direct hire stuff. We're sitting there, chopping it up about what I'd like to be doing and all that kinda shit, and she's reviewing the form I was asked to fill out when I got there.

One of the questions was what was I making at my last job. She saw my response and crossed it out and asked me the question herself. I told her the same thing I put on the paper. She looked at me like bitch, please, and started grilling me about it. Im like look, lady, I have no reason to sit here and lie to you, and went on to break down my income, right down to the exact amount I was paid every week. Dont you know this bitch had the nerve to pull out a calculator and do the math? Right there in front of me, she took the figure I gave her and divided it into 52 weeks. Then she's like, "you're right.... $X/wk."

Are you fuckin serious? Of course, Im fuckin right, you dont think I know how much I was getting paid? Why I gotta be lying cause its more than what your judgement assessed me at? Fuckin ass. She lucky I aint tell her about her damn self, especially after having the nerve to actually pick up the phone and take a call while we were meeting, and talk to some lady for almost fifteen minutes, while I sat there, not even attempting to hide my disgust at her lack of professionalism. She lucky I really needed her assistance, cause that woulda been the one time I would have shown my black ass up in somebody's shit.

I had almost forgotten about that completely until she called me this morning, about an interview she had set up for me. "These people are really big on first impressions, you've got to go in very professional, like in a really nice business suit - do you have nice business suit?"

Bitch what? LOL What you think, Ima go to an interview in an adidas warm up and some shell toes? LOL This chick is really in the wrong business if she cant talk to people without coming off so ignorant and condescending. And my appearance is always professional. Grade A. I come to play when I go into a business meeting, right down to the removal of the jewelry I never take off. There was nothing about me that day that should have given her any indication otherwise, including the college degrees and steady work history she was holding in her hand, while she sat there and played me for a hoodrat.

Thank God for Jesus, thank God for Jesus! LOL
