Lacey K, what jobs have you had? When you went to get interviewed, did you speak in ebonics, or did you drop it?
If you dropped it, why? If you didn't, did you get the job?
what do you mean ''dropped it'' what, you also think ppl with french accents just ''drop it'' when they go into a job interview or somethin?
Do you really wanna know, or you just think youre gonna make a point when i say that i didnt change and didnt get the job, or that i just started talking english professor speech and got it, like you think im gonna say....buttttt sorry
Ive worked at a store where i was the cashier video rental person and deli girl, then after awhile worked the bakery in the morning too but i quit cuz the boss kept hitting on my and then on valentines day he grabbed me and kissed me
Then i worked at a bagel store, did the sandwich bagel makin cashiier shit, but that was part time on top of the job i got now. I lost that one after a few months because ( even tho i called and told them i wasnt gonnna be able to show up and i told em like a week in advance) i couldnt get a ride to work so they found someone new.
But right now im workin at a small newspaper, been there for a year. and soon Rite Aid too
i lay out the pages w/adobe indesign every week.
Once upon a time a long time ago.......
i got the job because i saw a ad in the paper for graphic help wanted and the 1 year of highschool i had was at a tech school for Commercial Arts. I been into art and shit my whole life and i taught myself illustrator and photoshop when i downloaded em off kazaa. so ive used the shit since i was about 13 so theres not alot about it that i dont know
i spent a few yrs after i dropped out playin with lots of different graphix programs cuz i was able to get em for free off the internet. so when i was home all day id fuck around with art and some of the shit in my gallery here on BL (the Smacks thing) is from that time
Anyways when i saw the ad in the help wanted i just turned 17 a month before.
i went in (with a do rag and a pair of tims on no less, cuz you know nobody will ever get hired who talks funny and looks like one of those....."GHETTO PEOPLE") and told them everything i knew about and was good at, in the same way i always talk minues the cuss words like "and shit" or "this fuckin guy"
and they called me back, i started there in march 04. since then ive had other papers call and ask if i want to work for them cuz they seen my photo layouts and other shit ive done but i dont wanna get deeper into the shit than i already am cuz its not what i wanna do any longer than the time it takes 2 find a new job but anyways
the boss says im ''hard to work with'' and ''rough around the edges'' and bitches at me about that sometimes
but she said she dont care in the end, because everybody had a up and down side, the up side with me is i work fast as hell and do reall creative shit when it comes to the photo spreads and the down side is that i really aint cut out for office work so i aint ''professional'' enough but you know what i dont give a fuck
I got my place there and everybody knows me and jsut accepts that Im me, cuz they cant bitch about me because i get my work done good and fast and dont cause any trouble there
I also dont give a fuck because i hate workin in an office and i cant wait to get a less uptight job but this is the only place i can really get a ride to right now
Oh yea
For Your Info......
Ebonics is "he be there" instead of he is there"
ebonics is "He be tellin me" instead of 'he told me" and so on.
an actual spcific way of speakin w/grammar and rules just ike regular english but specific to the way some people talk
it was invented to teach inner city black kids in a (fucked up and prolly misguided) attempt to make learning easier to them w/the language some of them were familiar with
Sayin ''aint'' and ''yall' dont mean its Ebonics so get your shit straight like i said 30,40 times before, how i talk aint a big deal to anybody in real life so why yall harpin on it like youre gonna make a diffrence? if the only peeps givin me shit about it is a bunch of college ecstasy users on a message board then obviously it aint a problem
i spoke my piece now you know a little about where im comin from but
I dont understand what makes you spend so much time tryina comfront me on a message board, what you tryin to accomplish? do you think youre makin any sort of point? or teachin me somethin? im curious. you always post shit arguing about shit i said almost like you follow me around from thread to thread to try and make fun of me or somthin
i know youre jsut one of the bitches from the lounge under a new name
i dont forget the comments you left me in my gallery like "DONT MAKE WAYNE BRADY SHOOT A BITCH" and "UGLY WIGGER TRASH" i aint gotta throw personal disses into this shit, why you gotta? i dont care about YOU or what you wanna do im arguing with what youre SAYIN. so why you makin this personal instead of a discussion about shit that aint about me and just about what i say. i dont know what youre gettin at but drop it already
Aight i spoke my piece,
Have a killa day homegirl you my chick for real.
