I started a new job today, I haven't worked steady since March, that's when I filed for unemployment but have yet been searching and searching like a mad man for work. My Wife is pregnant and I have somewhat fallen behind on bills, all this was completely unexpected (the financial change) but I know to do and do absolutely WHATEVER I absolutely can (legally) to provide.
I began a new job today, wasn't my top pick but I have to take what I can get. I wake up this morning before my 1st day there suffering from the flu which I caught from my daughter. Then on lunch break I start to get this migraine that still hasn't left, not sure if its because of the 120 degree heat in the attic I was in for 8 hours but inspite of....I still kicked butt!!!!!!! (That is even according to co-workers) but only to get back into the office to meet with the HR lady (bosses wife) for her to tell me they're not going to use me anymore.
WHAT?!
I completely kept cool and said ok and walked out. I wanted to break down but instead I am far too determined! Too determined to be a strong as a young black man who can be so easily mistaken for the wrong man & I try so hard not to be mistaken for that guy. But instead I work hard to be that man I know that I can be. The man my Wife see's in me, the Warrior my family trained me to be, the Prince my Father and Grandfathers told me I was, I am trying desperately, but seem to get nowhere.
Now I'm not a racist, it just bottles me that when she hired me she only gave me one t-shirt; they all have red company shirts. There's not a single black, Mexican, Asian or anything else on board. I mean was it something I honestly did wrong, I'm just confused man.
Besides that I don't know what to do at this point I'm feeling burned out and can't even work the courage to tell my Wife wussup after she was so excited for me.
On a lighter note I am getting back in school to finish my degree in hopes to get things rolling a little better.
