Today at my computer lab in the morning the custodians come in to tidy up the floors. Usually there is about 2-3 of them that come in and spread out in each room. This particular day there was only one.
Now everyone is sick of their job one day to the next. But when you complain loudly that everyone can hear you about busting your ass making it uncomfortable for everyone else? It's time to quit. This broad was carrying on a cell phone that I knew was NOT on! She was venting for the hell of it. Maybe it was animosity against the students, I have no idea but she carried on so much that the people of other races (Arabic, Asian and of course white) left the room possibly in fear. Those that stayed (mostly black) stared at her (me as well) with the intent on telling her to shut the fuck up! Eventually she did but still bitching aloud in front of stranger is some shit I’d never do. She'd caught a bad one with the wrong person and end up fired for that. I guess I was used to old bitter black women complaining (yes she was, sigh) she didn’t bother me but the tension of the others I felt and eventually if she continued I would have to tell her to cool out. But thanks to my moms about supporting the blacks in the workforce, half of me would've felt wrong for confronting her. I was torn.
Happy Turkey-day ya'll
