Saying what you really want to say

I was out at a couple of stores, a Japanese market (Mumina loves the Udon noodle soups there) and WalMart. In both I had a quick interaction where I thought afterwords "what if I said what I really wanted to say?" just to see how they respond. In the Japanese market, I went into a section and a girl worker was on a step stool doing something with the products. She didn't see me initially, so when she turned to me she got a little startled. I asked if I scared her and she was like "oh, no". She was nice and told me to let her know if I needed help with anything. That was that, but my alternate response that came to me after I asked if I scared her would be "don't worry, I'm scared of black people too" 😄. I'm so racist. I say that when I accidently scare Mumina. I wonder how she would've reacted....probably turn red feeling guilty and embarrassed. I should do that one day.

At Walmart Mumina was with me and I had a big vacuum in my cart. A white lady was walking by and joked "after you clean your house can you come clean mine?" and I was like "for sure!" and we had our little laugh and that was that. But then I thought later on "what if I responded simply "NO" and gave a mean nigga look?" How would that make her feel? That would be kinda evil right? But why do I have to engage in friendly small talk and be politically correct all the time. I should try that too sometime....just rudely shut down small talk. You don't know me!! Don't mess with Da Muhs!!!

New Job, Summer Break

I was let go from my job on May 15, along with at least 2 others that I know of, due to slowing work at the company (so they say). They told me it wasn't a performance issue. I did sense over probably the last year that they may let me go at some point just because they've been changing things up and it didn't seem like they were sure what they wanted to do with me. Last year I was working as the lab manager for the previous 2.5 years (I was with the company for 6.5 years when they let me go), but they changed the structure of the lab to cut me out. They moved me to the commercial department to do more project management/assisting other project managers (I had previously worked in that department, as well as the residential department doing project management and various other roles over the years so I was familiar with the new placement). They also envisioned a new role as mainly a public works project manager so it seemed like there was some direction with the move. Over ...

Panhandling for a Funeral

I was driving up the street from my job to pick up some food from a restaurant for a meeting I lead when I saw people on almost all corners of a busy intersection and in the median at the stop lights holding signs to raise money for a funeral. The signs said something about a funeral for a guy that got killed in a car accident and I'm thinking "It's a little ironic to be in the middle of a busy intersection for someone who died in a car accident and there's a lot of crazy drivers out here and you put yourself in danger with so much traffic. Someone holding a sign was actually walking in the crosswalk when it really wasn't okay to be crossing at the time since traffic on the other side of the street had a green light. It would be so embarrassing if one of them got hit. I'm sorry for your loss and all but stop with the begging for money in the middle of busy intersections. Do people actually give money there? There are so many people with signs begging for money ...

I cut part of my finger tip off

Image
I accidentally cut part of my right index finger off with a 1-blade folding utility knife (had to look up exactly what to call it). Anyways, I was working in the field training with one of our soil techs. I recently started a new rotation at my job where I'll be in the field testing soil compaction for various projects. We were taking a break so I left the job site and pulled into a shopping center parking lot. I was planning on looking for a battery for my key fob for my car since it's been needing a replacement for a while. I previously bought one battery but realized later it needed two. Well, I put off getting another battery for a while because I'm lazy, it seemed to still be working ok, and I wanted to see how long it can last before it craps out and I get stuck not being able to lock or start my car (it's one of those button start cars with a remote fob). Well my car almost didn't want to start so I decided I should probably finally get another battery (Well ...
