WHY I HATE MY JOB....part 1


Hey ALL...


Well I figure that most people reading this are friends from YAHOO...So in my typical fashion let me EXPLAIN why i HATE my job in a point by point breakdown...


1. The work SUCKS...all i'm doing is filling orders either physically or by data entry or stocking ish or doing inventory ALL DAMN DAY!! This ish is so mind numbing I don't know how much MORE i can take...


2. The Pay and Benefits...let's just say that I make in the LOW teens by hour and I have NO medical benefits...wtf right?


3. The HOURS -OK not only do i have to be there at the CRACK 8:30 (that's EARLY for me) but these folks don't believe in taking BREAKS AND lunch is ONLY 30 minutes....WTF WTF??


4. My 'trainer'-while at first I thought he was a 'TOM' now I know different BUT...he's a WORKAHOLIC he doesnt even take lunch and any 'EMERGENCY' on his part becomes a DOUBLE emergency on mine....he's a decent trainer but his OVERWORK is killin me...and O don't let me be late to work ....(but he's getting better) ....but STILL...


5. No GROWTH- Although this company does have GROWTH potential...I can't see myself GROWING with it...wtf it's a damn fashion ACCESSORY company selling zippers, irons and all kind of other INANE ish...


((AGAIN DON'T GET ME WRONG)) I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE ((((FINALLY)))) FOUND a job...and the 'boss' is kinda cool...I TRULY hate waking up and having to drag myself into the joint...it's like one of those jobs u 'dream' about but NOT in a good way....feel me?? to be continued...

I ((FINALLY)) gotta JOB ...but.... PART 2

((before U read this blog please see PART one thanx))

Anywho ...I may ride my bike into work today...not sure yet...It's a 5 mile ride ONE WAY...since I only have TWO dollars till next Friday I may have to....but BEFORE i go on let me say this about the job...It's for a 'Fashion Acessory company' I got the job cuz my sister knows the owner and he likes her...there appears to be a chance for me to 'work my way up' but right now I'm in the 'shipping and orders' part of the business...for the last TWO nites I have had dreams about this PLACE and that's NOT good...lol..and with my rent worries I haven't ((REALLY)) been able to sleep well...

Luckily I did get some food stamps last week so I have some food and the job pays me each week...so it's NOT all bad....also I got my press kit for my book and it looks GREAT ....right now the book 'Avoiding The Dating Games-How To Spot A Potential Relationship is in the FINAL editing stage and I hope to have it between now and June ((stay tuned)) but until then....i accept ALL donations no matter HOW SMALL...look to the UPPER right if u wanna donate ((if u decide to donate there is a 4.95 charge I believe so please be advised))...I will begin developing this blog MORE in the next several days ...but right now I gotta get ready for WORK..(Oh DID I mention that I gotta be there like at the CRACK of dawn too?)) lol...on the NEXT blog I will explain MORE how I got into this situation ....it's NOT what u may think

I GOT A ((PERMANENT)) JOB...y'all... BUT...Part 1


I hate ALREADY and this is ONLY my THIRD day...lemme tell u why

1. It's a job where u have to stand ALL day
2. You only get 30 minutes for lunch (no break time)
3. You can't use the phones or get on the internet (not even at lunch time)
4. The pay SUCKS i used to get paid a hour what I now get in a ENTIRE day
5. It's nothing BUT repetitive work (filling orders, lifting boxes and doing inventory)
6. My direct supervisor is a JERK he expects me to do 'overtime' even when he won't

Now don't get me wrong I'm THANKFUL for just having a 'job' butI KNOW i can do BETTER than this...I have a housing court date on Tuesday (landlord is trying to EVICT me) I'm behind in rent 3 months ((now 4)).... I'm hoping to be able to pay at least 2 months rent and I believe the housing advocate lawyer said charity would give me the rest....but in the meantime I'm so damn broke I don't even have car fair until next week...GRRRRRRR to be continued....

INSPIRATION for this Blog...



Hey folks if you're ((still)) WONDERING why this blog was set up just read the story BELOW, I figured if she could do it why NOT me? I mean I'm NOT just asking for money but I'm also trying to sell some books and providing services..as well UNLIKE Karyn...but please just read...
and if you find it in your heart please show some support.... ok below are 'Karyn's words:

'SaveKaryn.com started in June 2002 when, after losing my job, I realized I couldn't pay my credit card bills - credit card bills that added up to over $20,000 - credit card bills I ran up by shopping. Yep. Too many Starbucks lattes. Too many BCBG tops. Too many great Gucci purses.

While lying in bed one night, I thought to myself, "Self, $20,000 isn't that much money. If 20,000 people gave me just one dollar, then all my yucky debt would be gone!" So on a whim, I created a silly little low-budget website asking people to help me pay off my $20,000 credit card bills. All I needed was 20,000 generous individuals...

Before I knew it, people around the world were logging on to savekaryn.com and sending me money through PayPal and the mail. In 20 short weeks, my website received over two million hits and all my debt was paid off.'


WOW right? Well not only did KARYN accomplish her mission but she also got a book and movie deal out of it...smh...so BEFORE you ask 'why should i support this guy/' think about ALL the folks who supported 'Karyn'

Welcome 360 and Folks from my OTHER blog: Maybe It's Just ME-Or Is It?


Hey all this is my 'NEW' temporary blogspot...it will ONLY be up until i reach my FINANCIAL goals which is to PAY my rent and bills UNTIL i find a job AND my book comes out...I have a DONATE button on the side there PLEASE support a brotha or purchase ONE of my books to help me get there...

The GIG...


I honestly don't mind working in ANY mailroom as long as i am TOLD what to do and keep busy with TASKS all day...(it helps the day go by faster for one and two I like to be as efficient as possible) ...I just finished a two-day assignment at a HUGE law firm in midtown Manhattan...Working there and being in the midst of New Yorker's is what i TRULY love...there's just something about the hustle and bustle of the city that just makes me KNOW i'm in the right place...

Allow me to (RE-INTRODUCE) Myself....


Hello Folks this is S.S. Neely, some of you may remember me from my OTHER page: MAYBE IT'S JUST ME -OR IS IT? I will return to that blog once this blog is no longer needed...In the meantime I will cover EVERYTHING from working in mailrooms across New York City to news and views of celebrities, athletes, politics, music, culture and all points in between...
