You never know whos life you are going change?

I have a situation I want my fans/followers to know about. It is really something I can't believe I am a part of. Life changing for a few ladies that need just what I have to offer them.

I trust you all to keep this to yourself. Take it to heart. And know that I am NOT writing this to downgrade anyone or any person's situation. It's just amazing.

As many of you know Social Media Mack has a contact with a non-profit that partners with the City of Oklahoma City. This project requires interaction with the general public and over all Economic Development in a particular area.

Due to budget cuts, This non-profit has no funds to hire any staff members and counts on consultants, like Social Media Mack to provide EVERYTHING.

Before I contracted with this non-profit, they had enrolled to be part of a WEP program that is mandated by DHS for Mothers that receive TANF (Temp Assistance for Needy Families) and Food Stamps.

So, not having any other options for staff, I said "OK" I guess we will try it.

Most of the women have emotional problems, tons of kids and boyfriend/baby daddies that hurt them. They are stuck in a rut and can't figure out how to get out of the situation.

Assistant A came to work in December 2010. She is sharp as a tack. Knows how to work the computer almost better than I do. Has design experience, website update experience and is more proactive than the acne prevention. She also has 5 kids with 1 man that only works part time. Their family has 1 car and lives on section 8 housing. She's 25 and has a whole life ahead of her.

Assistant B started shortly after. She has a degree from the University of Phoenix in Science. Quiet but very efficient, Assistant B has taken the role of bookkeeper and is great with customer relations. She also lives in a house that has no gas or electricity. She has no car and takes the city bus to work.

I share all this with you because we were informed this week that our funding is running out very fast and the organization might not make to 2012.

Both employees sat in disbelieve. This is when I knew my work as their "Boss" was actually "Mentor".

Assistant A: "How could this happen? What are we going to do?"

Assistant B: " The only reason I come to work everyday is because of you. If you aren't the boss anymore I will quit coming".

At that point it was clear that this is a life changing expierence for them. They wake up everyday to come to work with me because they believe in what I do.

I never knew me being me would inspire someone so much. It is an honor to be a part of someone's change.

They don't know it but they inspire me too!

THE END

Welp It is Sunday and this is my first time to post since my last. 

Why you ask? Because I got in BIG trouble at work. Apparently, some of the old bags in my office called my supervisor and told her EVERYTHING I was doing. 

So at this point I can't: 

Email 

Surf the net

Text

Blog

NOTHING !!!

When she called me out she was so rude to me that I started to cry. I then realized that no one should go thru that and that it is time to move on. 

SO.... I have decide to quit as soon as 2009 hits. Life is too short for all that and I can financially afford to take some time off to find the job that I REALLY want. 

SO ill post as often as I can for now. This weekends news: 

Mr. R texted me and we ended up getting together this weekend. He said he was sorry ( that's all I needed) 

Mr. College is officially on vaca for a month, Hope he has fun and maybe we will talk when he gets back. 

Oh and now I am VIP with our NBA basketball team  because of a lil fib I told :) more details to come 

Bite the hand that feeds you

Hated by the person that holds your fate in their hands...

That is the current situation in my professional life. I would be in what people call a rut.

Fresh out of college, full of ambition and the want to learn, with no where to go. Currently, I have a job that is as repetitious as the day is long. Boring as all get out, no challenges, no critical thinking ... Nothing!

You would think one would be happy to be able to surf the net whenever, email, shop online, etc. But I want more.

I want to be challenged on a daily basis and work with genuine people.

Yesterday, I was at the 2nd job and I was talking to a customer. I saw that she was on staff at my Alma Mater and told her I was a recent graduate.

She said that's great! Then she paused for a moment and asked me very frankly : " If you have a degree.. why are you working here?"

I was so furious. I don't have to defend myself to anyone! I told her I was going to buy a house and need some extra money in a tone in which a question would be asked.

She quickly rebuked her previous comment and said: "well good for you"

My 2nd job wasn't good enough in the beginning until I told her what my 1st job was.

Why are people so judgemental. It's none of anyone business where the money comes from. I am guilty of it too, but why?

You don't know me... so don't act like it.
