--------------------------

TODAY WAS MY LAST DAY AT WORK..

man, i never thought i would see the day.. people were crying and handing out numbers and emails. it was bugged. i sent out my goodbye email. more heads were crying. i got great presents. man, i just spent $50 in Barnes and Nobles gift certificated.

I WILL MISS PEOPLE THERE. there are some good wholesome people at my job. Sure i was the antagonist in every debate and discussion, but i guess i am needed.
let me run down my list:

Lil Bit : man she is sure funny. i believe she is a dude who came back as a woman. she sure macks like a dude. she runs game like a dude. sometimes i have to sit back and look at her to make sure she a woman. oh , she a woman alright. we got into some heated debates. but later on she would get my side.

Harry Potter: (can't tell you her real name, but she sure is a woman...!) she sits next to Lil Bit. she is one of those fine sisters who at first you can't tell that their fine, then you begin to notice her one day. she is from northern Virginia and does not know much. at first, she got on my last nerve asking all kinds of questions, but she grew on me. she is real sweet.

Cam: a tall sister who is real nice. she is from Philly. she and i get into real deep conversations. she normally agreed with me.

Kimi: a sister from the BK who actually hung out with an ex-girlfriend of mine back in NYC. small world huh? they went to the same high school together. she and i had some great times. she is good peoples. i will keep in touch. she ALWAYS had my back no matter what. i will miss her.. she

Wonda: a very unpredictable sis. one day she is your buddy and the next day she is ragging on you. she is a very attractive sister and i can tell she is used to getting her way. but she always had my back in her own secret way. she is funny too. a straight party animal. what's bugged is that she comes off like a brooklynite. she can go off and act real wild like she is about to punch someone in the mouth (like those brooklynites love to do...) i dig her though. but i would NEVER date her in a million years. she probably fights with her man every other night. but she is great to have at a party

Brandy: since i worked there she has ALWAYS called me Julio. she is MAD funny. we joke all the time. she is a bag a laughs . man, i never seen her down.
i will really miss her.

Ms. Brickhouse: this is the tallest sister i ever knew. and she was never, ever afraid to open up a can of whup ass on ANYONE. i mean that. even a group of dudes ... she was always down to thump. but she is mad funny too. i will miss her alot. i will miss her telling people off. she is the type of person you want on your team even if everyone else hates her. but you konw what? everyone loved her... i mean loves her. she is funny. she always got these dope sayings

Vetta: she and i go back. i will miss her. a beautiful sister who has a good head on her shoulders. i was trying to get one of my no game having friends date her but they ain't got no game. those punks. she and i debated all the time. she got me this great book by Deepak Chopra. word. i will miss her too.

did i miss anyone?
hmm

but keep it moving everyone...

MANANA i start escuela!!!!
yee HA!!!
what what
