Some folks never stop making me say 'whoa'...*smh* I want to know why the people who wouldn't know professional if it bit them on the ass are the first ones to call someone else unprofessional. Case in point: Yesterday my receptionist was reprimanded for wearing blue polish on her toes. Why? because it's 'unprofessional' and she is the first person people see. I personally think blue toenails are hoodratish but I can't dictate what that girl wears on her toes. If it works for her it works for me, but anyway. I have two major issues with how the situation was handled. (or maybe three)
3. NO ONE comes in the office and the people who do aren't looking way under her desk to see what color is on her toes.
2. After they pointed out how 'unprofessional' her toes were they then used MY toes as an example of what professional is (I have a french mani and pedi). I agree with them HOWEVER you should never EVER compare one woman to another, it's humiliating enough as it is for them to call her toes 'unprofessional' but then to size her up next to another woman is flat out wrong (read: unprofessional).
1. (this is the biggest one of them all) You yell from your office to the next, curse out vendors, curse out employees, wont order supplies, lie about paying bills, and so on but you have the NERVE to call someone else unprofessional? Get the eff outta here with that isht. It's not my company so I can't say how it should be ran (or run? I dunno) but if I were in charge I would look in the mirror before I even started to begin to want to pretend to think about calling another person unprofessional. Seriously. How is the big ass tat of king tut on someones breast that we don't need to see on the regular any different from blue toes...how is that same persons big ass tat of a panther lion tiger or bear...whatever it is...on her leg any different from blue toes. *rolls eyes* I just can't get with the hypocrisy, it's stupid.
Speaking of work, I hung up on my boss today. He was doing that stupid cursing in my ear about something I had no control over and I just said 'uggh' and *click*. He called back asking me what was wrong with me and I said "I told you not to talk crazy to me...I don't have to listen to it." He said "see that's why I like you" I was in like shock...I mean straight speechless. Lord let me get enough financial aid so I can go to school full time. Jesus!
Then, yesterday on the train (here we go) there was a man who was every bit of 600 lbs taking up TWO seats (and we all know I hate that) eating some damn pork rinds. I had to just sit and shake my head...I mean here you are 12 seconds from stroking out from all the fat around your heart and you have the AUDACITY to be sitting on the train eating some damn pig skins. This man was sweating margarine and eating a bag of cracklins...I really just can't get with the hypocrisy people, I just can't...it's stupid.
Pray for me people...I really should write a book. Good day!

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Sweating margarine! Picture that. If i was that big I don't even think I could eat in public. Truthfully speaking though, the comparison thing is wrong because now the receptionist probably hates you with a passion, but professionalism is defined by the entitity. At my school in my college you can't dye your hair unnatural colors, have excess piercings, have tongue rings, have facial hair(male or female you WILL be told to shave your upper lip and/or sideburns), or exposed tattoos and if you do they won't permit you in class because they say its unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I completely understand! HYPOCRISY is for losers! And I cringe when I see an OBESE (notice I said obese, and not just overweight) person eating a double scoop ice cream cone or sitting at a buffet eatin everything in sight. I almost hate to see it as bad as I hate to see dusty a** kids with fresh a** parents! Just wrong! And seriously, blue toenails are bad but not that crucial to make a scene about it!
