anyway,..when i could not get a job in telecommunications anymore.
i went back to how i got in telecommunications in the first place.
i went back temp'n,...and i was not just a calldesk clerk.
i was an executive administrator, originally. when the economy messed up,...i would not take anything.
till one day i get a call and they are like,..we want you to work for this copy company.
so on a whim i took it...while there,...at this copy company,..they had a list of pods.
located right in the offices,...instead of drop off's and i noticed her firm.
after i finished this temp assignment,...i got a good review like always.
i remembered the pods and her firm on the pod.
so i said to myself,..lemme go look at where she is in heirarchy in her firm for myself.
so i inquired specifically about her firm's pod to my temp person.
i could go over there because i was overqualified and this was legal documents with ease.
my temp worker was like,..they need somebody today after noon.
plus i was the go to guy for emergency orders filled.
i was like,..i will take it.
when i got there,..thinking her firm was gonna be some weak law office like she referred me too for my case.
man,...no!!
this was a firm that looked better and had more money than tv.
only booz allen and pepsi co had better facilities than this firm. that is how cool and layed out it was.
plus they had an entire big copier firm pod inside the lawfirm.
i got put on mail,..like the guy with the cart. now mind you,..i been high up in grade.
i ain't never did no mail room bullshyt a day in my life.
i was at the lowest, a grade payout executive admin.
meaning i was an admin and paid other executives and their entire staff.
so here i am in the casual clothes like rza in derailed delivering mail.
i get a chart of all the attorneys and flooring. plus this is a law firm.
so documents,...are time sensitive and highly important.
anyway, i make my first round.
finally i get to her office!
her shyt was double, what my biggest office or cubicle ever was.
plus, was connected to a boardroom. when nobody else's office is.
so i am like man,..she ain't just some low grade underpaid grassroots defense lawyer.
man,..she is big time for real. i knew her credentials, but in the attorney world.
lawyers have fronts all the time.
even my defense attorney and my lawsuit attorney were little weak closet or attorney community office firms, at best.
here i am in her company or firm and she is a major player with the best office. she is no lightweight.
plus the referral she gave me,...i know she knew he was a lightweight.
plus a failed fukk up cause she personally knew him and could have referred me to anyone way better.
money was not an object for me then,...either.
when my case came about. i was into a few months of selling dsl as an active install.
now mind you when i see this,..it is like yo,...i don't wanna ruin her job.
so, i kept my relationship to her private.
even though her negligience ruined my whole life!
so i keep a low profile and she was off on vaca or sumfin.
her exec admin instructed me when i went to drop the mail.
so i am there and work a short temp there, during her vaca.
except now,..i want her to know this is where your negligence removed me too.
plus,...you scoffed at my grade and profession.
when i had previously confronted her, about how piss poor of a referral she gave me.
she deflected like my career was shyt and did not mean a damn thing to her.
so i get another assignment, by inquiring about her firm. they put me back over there...
i get put on copies, mailroom duties, and setting up board conference rooms.
this time i got a whole bunch of duties which were light work.
so i am glad to do this cause she has to see me all the time.
when i delivered mail to her office she was like she seen a ghost...!!
like,..what are you doing here,...flabergasted!!
she was visibly not herself or contained as she was in the court or boardroom.
plus, she is not supposed to get flustered at all.
when i first gave her mail personnally,..she was with some other attorneys.
plus i could tell she did not want to act like she knew me at all.
which is not supposed to be the case with a family friend.
or somebody so high up,..a pritzker wife is a subordinate to her.
plus i knew she was phoney cause my babysitter had warned me about how she was in public.
if around white people, and black people she knew was in their company.
or viewed from a lower stratum,...
which in the corporate world is not needed. unless you pretty much do shyt under the table or mastermind bullshyt.
i know this because i was a senior account executive. the more people you know is always a plus and acting phoney is counterproductive.
except if you mastermind messing people over.
