Often times guys forget that you are in the room or that you have an opinion. We do not live in the stone-age anymore. Women are being more independent in the workplace. Woman can do anything that they want to and determined to do. Women have fought for this moment for us to be able to have a voice.
All of us are beautiful and unique and all our own ways. We are thriving to better our lives and pushing to the top of the career ladder. We are wives, mothers, sisters, friends, and leaders. If you are a women making things happen you are a boss. Uplift your women friends and do not discourage them from reaching their goals and dreams. We all have many ups and down, twist and turns but have to remind ourselves and be positive about it.
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.
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.
Allow me to introduce myself, my name Cam. Everybody kept asking and motivating me to start this blog. Guess what it finally happened. First of all I plan to keep it professional and talk about about real life being a woman in the Information Technology field. It isn’t often discussed in my field and yes it can be a reality show role. I am down to share some of those stories and experiences to bring light into my career of choice.
My goals are to entertain, inspire, motivate others, and sharing private moments. I am already nervous 😩 and ready to embark on this journey with the world. Yes, I love music and so post may have a song with it. It helps to describe the mood sometimes. This one a little short and sweet. Thank you all for the love and support.
