I remember being on my last dime and getting a call to start a new job somewhere on a part of time where I have never been on before. I remember getting excited about starting the position and I pull up to the new place to work. It was in the hood, “yes I am from the hood myself”.

My first day I remember pulling up in the parking lot trying to find somewhere to park and the parking lot was full. It smelled like weed, sex, and stanky thrash. I pull up to the first spot I see and I see people in their car smoking weed. I got high by just smelling it in my car so I decided to find another spot where I felt comfortable. I get out of the car and walk in the front door. I see that they are interviewing on the spot and hiring on the spot so I realized that it was call center. I have never worked at one before, this one was such a rememberable place to work at.

As I went inside of the building, this place had such a bad odor and it was very dirt. People had all sort of stuff sitting at their desk. I remember walking in the bathroom and it smelted awful.

I meet my manager that day and the people on my team. The two guys that were on the team loved to argue about unnecessary stuff that would get them in a heated argument. That’s another story you will hear at another time. I sat at a nasty desk where men needed to clean up after themselves. I could not complain about the work conditions because I needed the money that I did not have in my account.
