"You're Dismissed"! (Sorry The Donald)

Tuesday, April 30, 2013

I woke up about 30 minutes ago out of dead sleep so totally discombobulated that it took me longerto figure out that it was the middle of the night & that I was in my bedroom. Lol!

Ever done that before?
As I laid back down there was a surge of emotion folliwed with "I refused to accept thos"! Accept what? I didn:t know. There was no definitive, concrete "Aha". Just a powerful surge of emotion. It took another 30 minutes since I now was wide awake to figure out what has happening.

I had been dimissed that afternoon by someone as if I was a petulant,grey haired child by a 40-something assistant manager in the senior complex I live in & pay to reside in. I had gone to file a complaint. Apart from the fact that not one time did she stop working on whatever she was doing & several times interruptions with the re eptions just walking in on a clised door meeting without knocking so she could eavesdrop (which was part of my complaint),

The unproffesionalism by staff & indifference has led toa host of other things.

But being dismissed was the last straw.

I've now cancelled my project with the complex.

Note that I've not cited what the project was nor the content of my complaint. It is irrelevant to this blog. What is is about being dismissed & waking out of a dead sleep & paying attention to what is needed, what is ac eptable.


Maybe it is part of the process, but I've become far more impatient with crass people nor willingness to live a lie. There:s been many not a whole, whole lot but enough moments in the last couple of weeks where truth telling was alive & rare form". I do not want to be a willing participant in the dance. Somethings one can tolerate because choosing the battle may need to be necessary; there are those other times...well it is intolerable.

I've now released myself from doing this...this thing..this dance.

    I get what you are saying PM Fish. I ran a business for25 yrs. Customer service is parsmount.

I do believe there's quite a bit of ageism & classism involved. There's that hint of smug condescension as they figure since we're older & this property is for people on a low, fixed income we can be spoken or treated in any manner.

Not!

    As I have gotten older, my patience with the me centered people has shorten. If they do not have the decency to do their job, it doesn't mean I have to put up with rude treatment. Surprisingly enough I have found many of them do not even think they were being rude, it is a way of life with them. If you do not say anything, it will only will continue and even get worse. Everyone that is receiving a paycheck has a boss, report them!! I have had too many businesses, but it doesn't mean I knew the actions of all the people that worked for me. Many will act one way with the customers or public and another with boss. If one was acting inappropriate I appreciated being told about it, because that was not the representation I wanted for my company. The buck always stops at the top. Just do not take it personal.

    You don't have to just lay down & take whatever is given to you. AND then you pay for this?! Really?! No, I think filing a complaint is an excellent idea & God bless you!

Continue to be bold & don't let anyone break your stride....

Don't be Distracted-National Poetry Month

Saturday, April 20, 2013



I hope you enjoy my poem

Distractions
By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney ©12

There are too many things that can serve as a distraction
That can lead to a disaster.
Some can be innocent but still master...
Some are mundane others are downright insane.
If one is not mindful
Some of these things can suck you in, suck you dry
Taking out all the joy that makes you fly.
And the process making it the main thing…
Instead of the lame thing…
That unearned focus can drain your bounty, even your fame.
Distractions by its very name
As in a lil bit of this
And a lot of that
Can force all your hopes smack down in the drain…
Where all that you are to become actually ends up as sewage
(And there will be no one to blame)
Inflamed…
Needlessly hopelessly “I’ve been framed”!
You’re allowing distractions to be the bane of your existence…
No matter how minor or mundane
Can misappropriate center stage & became…
A colossal error of which you can reframe…
Leaving behind that dinner party where nobody came.
Distractions is the twisting of the neck not unlike a crane
Looking downright foolish
And la deed a lame
A waste of precious time & possibly your name
Now wouldn’t that be insane.

Knowing your Circle...

Saturday, April 20, 2013

I stumbled upon this young man 3 months ago on FB but the one who shared it did not know his name. Try as I might I could not find him.

So I left it alone.



Lo & behold his contact literally fell into my lap!

I listen to his weekly spiel today. He's quite adept for someone so you.

For the record, he is not a hip hop artist. And he is not endorsing paranoia or mistrust.

He IS however a fitness trainer & a speaker.

Enjoy!
