At burger king, the issue I had when I started the job was communication. At this job, drama. Lemme explain.


If you notice, if you've paid close attention to my posts, I always tried to pick people's brains, to understand what makes them tick, to understand the mindset of the people I'd be working with, the mindset of Americans. In trying to do that, I try to strike up conversations with different people, dancing around different topics trying to get you to speak. In the first few weeks I started this job, I noticed this is a female dominated field and most of the persons whose brains I tried to pick we're ladies. In no time, news had started flying around that the new guy is a flirt, he's always talking to everybody. undecided

Each day I come to work, I'd hear one new gist about me and what I supposedly did. I wouldn't bore you guys with the sad tales of how these people think cos most of them are way too shallow to delve into deep conversations with. They are more content with running their mouths about celebrity news and who-is-fvcking-who at the job. The few times I've tried to bring politics or current affairs or something other than tv shows and drama and superficial stuff, I get a blank stare or something close to it. With time, I minimized my conversations to strictly work related stuff and started keeping to myself.

lol.. this cracked me up

I've got some great news, my transcript has been evaluated, I applied to Chicago state university to study BSN nursing and got accepted. I paid the "acceptance fee" of $50 yesterday and I'm revving my engines, ready to go! Ready to explore a whole new world within the 4 walls of the university. smiley

Did you have to write any test? TEAS test?. I have a friend in Ohio trying to get into Nursing

Uh, no test whatsoever bro. I applied as a transfer student. I still have to contact the nursing body though to get the specifics, like requirements, the level I would start and if I'd take placement test etc. The $50 was to "secure my seat"

Some days back, I started hearing some funny noises from my car bonnet, took it to the mechanic and found out my alternator was bad. It cost me $132 to get a new one and $60 to install it.

Thanks guys.

Some time ago, I was driving back home from an errand I went on for my mum. I saw this lady trying to shovel her driveway because it had snowed the night before. I looked for a spot, parked my car and came down. I approached the lady and offered to shovel her driveway for a price, she agreed. Her shovel wasn't strong enough for the job, so I quickly drove back home and got my own snow shovel which was stronger.

Did the job and got cool $50 grin

I could hook you up with my mechanic, he's Liberian and understands the immigrant hustle so his prices are fair. He's a very nice guy, honestly.
