A Case Of The Ex
Miss Jenkins note: I’m trying something a little different today. Enjoy the post. Share your thoughts and stories about your reconnecting (or not) with ex-boos. Good ones, bad ones, whatever floats your boat. Happy reading. As I sat watching some random show on Wednesday night, I got a text message from the “him” who has [...]
Eff Em Friday
No intro. Just get in the bed. Slim Jackson Eff the storms that came through NYC on Thursday. #IWasSoWet but at least my car didn’t get pancaked by trees. Oh yeah, pause. Eff my addiction to unpleasant tv shows like 1st 48, Hoarders, and Intervention. Ain’t nothing good about the content of these shows, but [...]
My Late Mid-Year Self Review
2010 has been the most significant year since overall since I graduated from Cornell X years ago. So many things have happened in my life and so much has been on my mind that I forgot to give myself a mid-year review in 2010. I tried to figure out how to format this and the [...]
Workplace Rules
I do a lot of recreational drugs, but I do remember the fine folks here at threeways giving our non-melanin inclined readers a list of things they shouldn’t say or do around their black co-workers. That’s cool and very necessary…how else will you know how to respect my gangsta? But I’ve come up with another [...]
Boys Will Be Boys
I sat at my desk and I could feel the anger emanating off of the guy I share an office with. Sure none of us wanted to be at work that morning, but it was something different. No person gets that mad at work. At least not so early in the morning. We started talking [...]
A Letter To My People
My People, I hope this letter finds you well. A while ago someone asked me, “How do you describe yourself?” Confused by the question, eventually I responded “I am a Black woman.” Some may start with “woman” first and then go into whatever racial or ethnic identity they have. For me, being Black always came [...]
Eff Em Friday
Why do the short weeks always feel the effin’ longest? Slim Jackson Eff this major organizational meeting coming up that has my head doing 360′s like I’m possessed. Eff these reports, eff these numbers, eff these charts, eff it all to effin’ hell! Eff drunk texting. Nothing like waking up and saying “oh no” followed [...]
Sometimes Women Ask for It
I was trying to stay within a few feet of the fellas as we trekked through the crowd. If I lost focus for a second, I very easily could have been lost in the mix fighting for enough arm space to send a few text messages telling them to hold up before I got lost [...]
