I was supposed to get my last check from my old job and was expecting a certain amount to cover the bills til my next commission check from that job. (I'm not touchin my savings. For nothing). The check was less than half that.
They didn't even take out the child support.
nikkas only paid me for my hours (minimum wage hours + commission). Didn't pay
any of the commission that I had coming (a good livable amount)
I was
this close to goin back in that office Suge Knight/TLC style. MFs lucky I had an interview later on the other side of town. The same interview I could've turned down after being hired at that bootleg job (another story). Third and final interview. It was my last hope.
Degree aint helpin shyt. I'm drivin down 285 depressed af. A nikka was really thinkin bout gettin in the game since I know some Mexicans. Maybe a courier. Hit my Pops up and told him a nikka might haveta move work if this shyt fall thru.
Ma dukes (super religious) tried to text me but I just responded with "Yep". She later called on the way to the interview and said I didn't sound good. She could tell. That's my Mom
I told her other job was a sham and I need this to work. Sounding more oblivious than usual, she was like "ok you're driving, let me know how it goes".
I left early and with my great life luck there happens to be an accident. Traffic jam only added to the stress. Wasn't even rush hours. I make it to the interview and I see the out of state license plates from corporate (Florida). fukk it, I got nothin left to lose.
They made me wait long as hell but I finessed the hell outta that interview. Straight up told them I want the shyt more and honestly it some shyt that I'd be perfect for since I've done it before. Once it ended they told me thanks and said to wait outside but don't leave. I was just sitting there and the shyt just felt like everything was riding on this decision. My Mom knew a lot was ridin on this shyt. In a weird way I knew she was prayin for me. Felt the vibes and everything but as a man of science it was probably just nerves?
I did my usual "God, I don't pray but it'd be nice for you to come through right about now."
They came out with a look that I couldn't determine.
Told me to go into this adjacent room that I had interviewed in the previous 2 damn times. Felt like The First 48. Even had a camera. Finally dude comes in and we sit down and he goes "Well, we've reviewed everything. You seem like a good fit... and we'd like to extend you an offer. Can you start tomorrow?
A stable job not based off commission or seasonal work. Good salary, benefits, 10 mins from where I'm house hunting (important w/ ATL traffic), $3000 raise after 1 year and 3 weeks paid vacation. :mjcurl:
Hit the fam up with the news and moms was like "I didn't tell you but I was praying hard for you." :jbrownwow:
I'm not religious in any sense but sometimes shyt like that keeps me agnostic instead of full blown atheist at times. I've been cussin "God" out a lil bit lately and maybe I should just keep it neutral and realize life is just the roll of the dice (and people suck).
Thought I had new job. Ended up being a scam. Need new job. Bad. Third and final Interview at job I originally wanted today. Land job. Start tomorrow. Clutch mode is 2 for 2.

man that was a good read! Salute breh, keep grinding on these niccas.
