Not Feeling Well

My head aches and my face feels like its on fire so I'm not really sure why i am even trying to blog right now.

Please keep Georgia in your prayers. It's raining again...

Hopefully, homes will not get flooded this time around.

Are Hillbillies Scary?

They are when they are trying to hit on you on a deserted road...

Today I was walking home when a white guy started trying to holla. The problem? You're probably wondering....

He was shirtless, in a red pickup truck, with a southern accent, and I was on an empty road in Georgia. Usually, I would be slightly amused by these situations, but I don't be messing with hillbilly southerners.

I know I shouldn't be frightened, but I just can't help but think of all the crazy things that have happened in our past.I would not have been as alarmed if say this had happened in California....I def wouldn't be blogging about it.

Anyways, just another reason why Georgia is not the business.

What NOT to Do During an Interview

Today, I had an interview to intern with the Atlanta Victims Assistance at 10 am.

Well, it was by far my worst first impression....

I arrived 17 minutes late because I got lost, then I couldn't find parking, then I couldn't find the right room. Ugh...I wanna blame the city of Atlanta because that's what happens everytime I go there. I've even gone all the way there to attend an event and then decided to leave because I couldn't fnd any parking once I got there. No seriously, true story.

But anyways, once I got in and apologized for my tardiness, we sat down to start the whole interview process. As the lady began, someone inturrupted and she left to go talk with that person for about 10 minutes.

When she came back I had to inform her that I parked on the street and only had put in an hour worth of coins. So by that point we had 20 minutes before my time ran up. She was fortunately very understanding and said that we could stop when I needed to so I could go feed the meter.

So we go through the whole thing.....she asks questions, I ask questions....you know, the usual. After about 20 minutes, we realize that I'm late and so I run out to go feed the meter. When I get out the building, I'm dashing across two blocks to my car because I literally have 0 minutes left and there is no way I'm getting a ticket from an interview!

As I'm jogging to my car, I'm praying: "Oh Lord, please don't let me have a ticket. I really don't want to pay the city of Atlanta a dime right now". I turn the corner and can see my car halfway down the street and there is a police officer strolling towards it!!

I start to literally sprint in order to over pass her and get to my car first! It turns out the officer wasn't even going to my car, but at least I made it before she did. lol

And thank God there was no ticket! An expired meter, but no ticket!! yea!!

So I get into my car to take a breath and also see if I had any change in the car because I'd used all of the change from my purse the first time around. No change.... and then the meter man shows up so of course I pretend like I'm just getting out of the car. He's emptying out the meter, so I ask him if he has change for a dollar.

He says: don't worry about it, I just gave you an hour.

!!!!!Thank you JESUS....and meter man!!!!!!

I went from praying that I wouldn't get ticket to gettin an hour for free, so you know I was mad AMPED lol.

Of course, I had to go back in to finish my interview, which went very well once I got back(sweaty and all).

Now, what you should learn from my whole long debacle is:

1. Show up on FREAKIN time!! It sucks having to apologize for being late especially when its the first time your interacting with the person.

2. Always find out the name of the person who first greets you in the lobby. It could be the secreatary and then you will have just ended up apologizing unnecessarily, because it's not even the right person.

3. Don't park at a street meter. It is A. not fun to be worring about getting a ticket while interviewing and B. no good to be leaving your interview halfway through.

4. And if these things do happen, put on your best game face: pour on the charm cause you will need every ounce you got.

Oh BTDubs, I got the position. :)

Ignant Music

Lately I've been hearing this song on the radio (I'm gonna assume its Southern cuz its just that bad). I always feel bad when I jam to it because it's such an ignorant song, but I do love the beat...

The lyrics go a lil something like:

"Baby girl won't you get with this pimpin...
Just try it out try it out"

Oh wow...ok i just found a video....



In the words of Chris Brown: "I was just like wow"

I hope you peeped Kandi, former member of girl group Xscape and newest housewife on Real Housewives of Atlanta. I was dying watching this video because I just remembered her talking about how when she came out with her first single, it had to be fire cause people were expecting so much from her.

Really though Kandi? I won't lie, I jam to this song in my car but...this is just not housewife material... lol
