So, I do not have anything specific to write about today. Except for the fact that someone at work thought it would be a good idea to pat me on the head as he walked by today. WHY in the world would you do that? I’m not a kitten or a dog. I’m not your cute little niece.
This pat comes right after I was called a princess. Hmmm…..I have been annoyed enough lately. I just don’t get it. First this dude tells me…”oh Tiffany you look like you’re a little bit of everything. That’s what America is all about. It’s a melting pot.” Then he says he hopes we look good in burkas. Hmm……on top of the fact that he CONSTANTLY talks to me like I’m some little girl and is always commenting on the fact that I’m “easy on the eyes.” Hmmm…..I’m just a little fed up.
It didn’t help that I was exhausted today though. A lack of sleep never helps me deal with arrogant, cultureless, patronizing white men. Hmm…..
Anyway, I just wanted to comment on that. For some reason this stuff is REALLY getting to me. It has nothing to do with feminism. This is about treating me like a am a PERSON, not some product. So, maybe this is about feminism and all the other principles I carry with me.
I just need to figure out what I need to do to get me through this days that seem to be so damn trying. It’s hard to work for people that talk down to me. And it’s hard to work for a company when everyone is unhappy. Hmmm…..
Well, I had an interview at Crate & Barrel today. I have a second interview tomorrow. It’s just a part time thing for the holidays, but extra cash is very very necessary right now.
Hopefully I will be back later with something you guys can bite into and chew on for a while. LOL Yeah right. I am going to finish my laundry now. buh-bye
