Meeting Baby Dee

I was working at the Trap House when I met Baby Dee. I remember she was over 6 feet tall and a big girl. She loved to eat good. She had braces at the time and everything under the sun you can imagine was in the mouth. When you have braces you are supposed to not eat certain foods.

I remember one day I was working and she came up to me to ask about he computer. It was not working. I went over to her desk and talk about all sorts of food at that desk. She had a very funny personality. The first few things she wanted to know was: “What I was eating for lunch”? She started asking me why I was working at this place. I remember she wanted me to buy her lunch that day and had the nerves to threaten me if I did not buy her something she was going to break her computer so I could come back out and look for me.

This is the only the beginning and I have plenty of stories about this person and how hilarious she was.

No Church In The Wild

Story from the Trap House, I remember when I first started working here. It was so different from what I was used to working at. The people were from another planet that I had once been in before. My first day was crazy when I met the team for the first time. It was already too much drama between 2 of the co workers who were working there at the moment.

I remember it was last day at the Trap House and I just got in to work my last day. Guess what! The drama took place because of the 2 people could not agree and the other person was tired of dealing with the mental abuse. As they argued and voices started to escalate. I asked one of the guys to go take a walk and I got ignored. So the other guy got upset about the other guy talking about his car. Bam, he hit the desk sectional and started aiming at the other guy. It got so loud that HR had came to the scene and the security guard ran up to separate the guys. Both guys were let go based on their actions and how they dealt with the situation.

It opened up the door for me to get hired on full time. I learned from the situation that you can have toxic coworkers in your workplace who are not in your corner. Also to keep you personal and private life at home.

Cece’s Goodie Cart

Yes, I have changed my name to fit the blog but this one takes me down memory lane and was deemed the name “Cece” by the those who worked at the Trap House. Yes, a lot of my friends know about the Trap House and knows anything goes down at this place.

I named my cart the Goodie cart because it was loaded with plenty of equipment for me to setup a center area. When I would have the cart walking around I would have people begging for something but these people were happy about these second hand and out of date equipment. Sometimes I would walk around and play the Goodies song just for fun to see who saw that I was making my rounds.

I was also the first Female IT person to have ever worked at this place ever. I am proud that I did I go good and opened up the place to people see that women can do the work in this field. The people of site gave me the name CeCe. I also loved working here because it was never a dull moment. Stay tuned for more stories about the Trap House coming soon.

Mary Poppins (Yes She Pops Off)

“A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way”

Anybody that knows me know I love the movie “Mary Poppins” and how this magical nanny takes on the role of putting a smile on children’s faces. This lady came off as being sweet and kind as Mary Poppins but she was not.

Let’s get to scenario of the whole scene. I am sitting at the desk and the phone is ringing. I answered the phone and asked “How can I help you”. Mary starts talking ” I just started working here and my desk has not been setup.” Next she starts poppin’ off on the phone with me and I have been nothing but nice to her. “I can not see and need my big monitor”. I have $600 glasses that support my eye sight and my vision”. Plus she starts cursing me out. 30 minutes later she comes up to desk and I greeted her and the lady was a totally different person when she rolled up. She starts talking about “How much her glasses cost again”. I said “I totally understand and my glasses cost about the same as well. We are waiting on an order of monitors to come in”.

Two weeks have rolled by and we finally get monitors that afternoon. I loaded a monitor up on the cart to go put it on Mary Poppin’s desk. Yes she is not there today and I do not have to deal with her mouth and hearing about these “$600 glasses”. She comes back to the office on Monday and wants to apologize to me and buy me some food.

All the people on my team asked me what I did to her and I said “killed her with kindness. Plus she know not to roll up on me like that after she came to desk to see me. Trust me she does not want to get that smoke. ”

“She’s, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”

Is There a Heaven for Computers?

People who know me know I have a code name of one of the places I worked at called the “Trap House”. Here is a story that I just had to write about and it’s funny 😂.

One day I was at work and I had a call from one of the manager’s regarding a computer that was not functioning properly. So I went to place to check the computer and there was a sassy lady sitting there. I had checked the following out the plug, power supply, and other cords. I click the button to turn on the computer and it was warming up and then all of sudden the computer died and went to Heaven. I remember the sassy lady said she was not in the mood to work. I told her: “The computer has died and went to Heaven”. Sassy Lady: ” Yes, and starts running around the area like she had been blessed to have gotten off the phone and the computer not working”. I had told her ” I am going to go in the back and cook you up a new computer”. She said “No”.

I gave her a few hours to get herself together and than after lunch she asked me” I need my computer now because I have to get back on the phone and my manager is bothering me”. I brought the computer out and had her log into the computer. She said “Thank you”. 😊
