SUCH A NICE BOY

What up what up WHAAAZZUUUPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Because so many big corporations have been scrutinized for blowing the bailout money on lavish getaways and banquets my company has canceled christmas parties this year. My new department I work in has decided we can throw one ourselves if everyone chips in $60.




For $60 me and my lil mama can go out to Denny's, a movie and still have enough money to buy her a little outfit to wear for me. Ima tell my job like I told the IRS in 2005, "you ain't gettin no money out of me". I kid.I would go but me and my lil mama have plans all that weekend anyway.

There is this one dude at my job I cant STAND.UGHHHH!!! Just everything about him irks me. We had to take this 10 minute online sexual harassment thing the other day. Tell me why this fool prints out the little certificate thing you get for completing it and hangs it above his desk like its a degree from Harvard. Gets on my GOTDANG nerves. On top of that he harasses this girl we work with daily. She said she would turn him in to HR but she knows he has a family and doesn't want them to suffer cause daddy is a jerk.

I finally got out of default for one of my student loans!!!!!





I was sooo happy. I can barely contain myself knowing one day soon I will apply for a credit card and NOT get turned down. Of course you know there was a little rain in the cloud. I called up my new company I will be making my payments to and of course someone in India picked up.

Indian Lady: Hello this is vishna, how can I help you today?

Me: what's crackin wid it? this is n0days0ff and I'm calling to set up a payment plan with you.

Vishna: mr days0ff you are 4 days overdue

me: huh? how can I be late when I haven't set up the payment yet?

v: the collection agency you just got out of default with set up the payment.

me: (after 20 min of arguing) whatever man, now that i'm set up, who notifies the credit people I am in good standing with my loan?

v: ummm....they should notice you have been making monthly payments , so you are fine.

me: (looking at phone) maam....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!! When I don't pay a loan you guys send out a notice to all the credit people that I suck. Now that I'm good who sends out the notice that I rock?

v: ummmm..... the collection agency will do that

me: they told me you do that, now you are saying that I hang up and call them back just so they can say you again? Maam I have nothing against you but you don't know what you are talking about. You are guessing and saying anything to get me off your phone. I want to speak to a manager.

That's how you gotta do it sometimes. That's how I roll.Thanks for all your advice on the previous post. I think it all comes down to me still thinking of my fiancee and her kids as separate from me. What I'm trying to say is when we get married and live together I can't just put food for me in the fridge and tell them to fend for themselves. We will be ONE and right now I think of them as separate. If I take the rent money and give it to my aunts medical bill would I do it if it was my rent too? It all comes down to If I wanna take responsibility or keep thinking of them as not my problem...yet. I guess everyone is looking to me because they think I am ballin with no kids or bills. Should I tell them I am supporting my lil mama and her kids and have everyone think of me as a damn fool and hate my girl or do I not mention that and have everyone think I'm cheap? sighhh...why must there always be drama in the LBC?

What else? I went to see my auntie in the hospital the other day and it wasn't good. The good news is she is out of her coma. The bad news is she doesn't have the will to live anymore. She said she is tired of passing out and getting rushed to the emergency room every other month. She is tired of laying in hospital beds all drugged up. She also hates the fact she will never be totally independent like she used to be again. She tried to give us her last goodbyes but my cousin wouldn't let her. I was kinda upset about that because my aunt doesn't seem long for this world and everytime she tried to give one of us her blessing and say goodbye, here comes my cousin telling her to stop talking like that. I understand that even though I love my aunt and am sad to see her go it does not compare to what my cousin is going through seeing her mother like that. Was I wrong to be a little upset? I guess men are a little more...I don't wanna say coldhearted but I'll say realistic. She looks bad and hopefully by the grace of God she will be fine but it would be a shame if something happens to her and there remained so many things unsaid cause my cousin kept butting in.I asked her if anyone told her we had a black president and she broke out in the biggest grin the tubes in her mouth would allow and said "He is such a nice boy."

As usual your feedback is very much appreciated. Should my cousin let her mama say her goodbyes or am I being a jerk? Ilove my auntie soooo much and I have so much to thsnk her for while she can still hear it but that is my cousins mama and it is a more difficult thing for her to accept.

First, let me say LMAO at your $60 spending...damn, you can make it go a long way (Dennys...LOL)

Congrats on your student loan...don't you just hate talking to the people in India...I asked one what was her name and she told me Samantha...knowing good and damn well that ain't her damn name!!

About your cousin, I think you should back off...that is her mother, and she doesn't want to see her go (I can understand). You need to allow your cousin to make peace with the situation however it may go.

lol congrats on the loan and perfect use of Will Smith..comedy.

Vishna was playing you for a fool..i have been there having setup a few call centers myself...

Yea i would have to agree that you should back up on the auntie thing. If you were swingin some hospital bills i would say you could poke your chest out a bit but in this case let them figure it out. I would remind auntie that God has a plan for her and she should live it accordingly...whatever it is.

Stay up homie!

You're right, I never get flowers.

My grandmother died quite suddenly. I loved her dearly but was glad that she could finally rest. Those no-goods she raised stayed keeping her stressed about one thing or another. It was time for them to grow up.

She didn't have any life insurance either. Her thinking was that there were so many people she'd helped over the years, they'd come up with something. When my aunt told us this I was angry. Her, my brother, my cousin and I sat there in silence until finally my cousin said that she could give $1500 (don't know if she ever did). But okay, that was a number we could all handle and those 3 grandchildren gave equally. She had seven grown grands at the time and 3 grown children. My aunt borrowed or hustled the rest.

I said everything I ever needed to say to her was glad she could rest.

nil said...

yAy you are out of default.. Im so proud of you!!! But uhh yea you need to handle that reporting it to the the credit people asap.. they are tryin to play you son!!

The company would definitely not be gettin 60 from me.. oh hell no!! How many peeps are in that dept..?? 60 is a bit steep.. all i know is my company betta not be tryin to play with my Christmas bonus.. F the party. (lol i say that knowing that out xmas party is already scheduled Dec. 19 baby)

As far as the cousin, I agree with Beautiful.. If your cousin isnt ready to let moms go dont force it. God's will is gonna happen regardless of what we want anyway!!

urbanknitrix said...

Well work it out then!! I would be cabbage patching all over the place.

$60?? So you want me to pay to be with people I probably don't like or no soul food....um, that's a no.

If you decide not to give the money to your family please don't bring up you can't because of little mama because your family will resent her. When it comes time, I would just say i don't have it and if they bring up you should have it because your single, and this that and the fourth. I would say, well I have bills and I just don't have it, I wish I did, etc.....

I hate D.ell with a passion because they call me at work and they don't know shit. I always mess with them, because they always give those generic names like Amy or Wayne and you know damn well, their name is Ashwini or Mohammad, so I always ask their ass how's the weather over there. They get quiet and I will keep saying it, they never answer me though......

Can you visit your aunt when your cousin is not there, so you can say your goodbyes or she can talk to you freely? I would do that if I could. If you and your cousin is cool, I would talk to her and say I know you want aunty to get better, and she probably will, however, she wants to talk with her and maybe we should let her. See what she says, but if she is a hot one, I would ask her privately.

In regards to your cousin I understand how YOU feel. My Dad passed a few months ago and when he did his mother who is 83 kinda lost her will to live as well. Everybody was telling her she needed to not be that way. But as immediately after his passing I felt like dying myself I could understand her feelings.

Even though I love my Grandmam and would hate to see her go, I felt like she lived a long full life and if she ready to check out...who are WE to terll her different.

But in all of that we all must also keep in mind that ain't none of us going anywhere until the Good Lord sees fit. Whether we wanna go or not.

Give your cuz some time. She hasn't yet made amends with the fact that her mom will be gone one day.

BTW...congrats on cleaning up your loan!

LOL! I very rarely do holiday parties, fro several reasons. One being I haven't met co-workers I want to see after hours in about 10 years. Well a few here and there but the whole office. Man you guys could pitch in like 20 bucks and do something AT the office. Nothing gives like paying me to eat cake and drink wassail (is that how you spell it) or paying me to talk to my coworkers about how I'm NOT eating anything that wasn't purchased from the holiday potluck. *lol* and my food I brought of course.

I think your cousin should. My father passed suddenly he had an attack while at home alone talking to his best friend on the phone. I wish I could have said I love you one last time. One of my good friends her mother had a death sentence meaning the Dr. told her how long she had and well my friend did the best to make memories and peace with her mom. But its hard either way.

Great on the Student Loans. Paying them off is awesome. Me I'll be paying mine until I pay everyone else off. Paying off my loans is the last debt to pay on my debt free list. Sallie Mae will continue to get the bare minimum until I finish paying off this cc from hell. After that then I'll pay off Uncle Sam.

hey nodays- congrats on the student loan being taken care of....I have one i deferred I totally forgot about lol till the new year.. and one I am currently paying...both loans were for culinary school that I didn't finish but your screwed either way lol... 60 bucks kinda steep.. what does my 60 bucks entail thats what i would wanna know... cause that could be drinks right there....i am so sorry about your aunt.. but take comfort in the fact she will be at peace soon... your cousin has to grieve in her own way....If they ask you about bills whatever that's not up to you to pay that in my opinion its her kid(s).. but i suggest being honest...it will all come out in the wash as they say.. they may find another reason to dislike ur fiance if u dont mention the support thing... but after u get married they might put two and two together... no matter what hold your ground!!!! its your life you paper chaser sorry ti song in my head lol

MsKayotic said...
