What's up with your butter? What's up glam fam? Welcome back to my channel. In case you haven't had a great day or week
You know your girl is here for you
So grab your wine and snacks and everything you need because today's story time, you know
I'll be trying to have more to the stories, you know, maybe a little wisdom here and there something that can help you in life
But also the realness of it. Okay, and some people be getting mad at me
You know way like sometimes I don't like hearing about your petty story times. First of all, then why are you here?
Yes, you do. I feel like some people are like i'm just like above that i'm older now
I want like more professional vibe girl. Who are you lying to?
Who are you lying to because this right here is what I wish somebody would have stopped fronting about
When I was younger so that I could have gone in a bit more prepared because if you're gonna sit here 10 wrinkly toes down
And try to convince me that at any point in time and juncture of your life
Especially if you work in offices that everybody that you come across
All of your co-workers and colleagues are just so
Professional and it is just a professional mutual respect environment girl
If you don't stop it right now
The most petulant childish behavior that I have ever witnessed has been within the confines of a corporate office
With women that were two three times my age
Stop it right now and I like many younger people are under the impression when I go into a professional environment
I can let my guard down. Okay, because everybody in there's professional
Definitely tune in every single monday the his and hers podcast
but I was talking to my husband about this because
He had a very small stint working in an office and even girl the small time that he was there
He saw some scandalous shit happening. I was like, I knew it. I told you we see our co-workers getting drunk holiday parties
There's affairs that go on passive aggressive emails. Let me bcc. Let me cc
Let me stab you in the back throw you under the bus with your boss. Where where is the professionalism?
Why are you longing let's go ahead and admit that it is a lion's den
You better go in there with your head on straight your eyes on the prize go get your check peace out
Them's is not your friends. You're gonna see mess and you're gonna encounter
Unprofessionalism such as once upon a time not long ago
No, so I worked at this transit company and it was a really cool company
I really enjoyed working there and um
I love the location mostly because it was at like the hub spot of the 16th street mall where like we had all of the good
Restaurants like, you know panera we had mcdonald's
We even had like some of the higher-end spots like hard rock cafe or yard house all right there
But then walking distance girl, you know
It was a good thing and it was a bad thing all at the same time because like I would be on my last dime
out there buying something just
Quarterly meetings. It was like every few months planning. We were kind of like the planners
Okay, and we would have to coordinate with some different departments
And kind of get some all hands on deck type of situation
So they would have these meetings so that we could collaborate and make this shit happen
Okay, but i'd never been to one until this day
I was hired on as the receptionist the biggest conference room was right behind me, right?
And it had like a sick-ass view of the mountains girl. It was it was very noise
Okay, not only am I responsible for cleaning in this conference room?
But for this event like i'm responsible for getting things ready setting things out making sure that everything's nice
and ready for everybody to start coming in right and this was going to be like a
9 a.m
Meeting it was like one of the first like first thing in the morning one of those big industrial-sized coffee makers
You know one regular one decaf. I set those out
I have to set out all the you know, little sugar packets creamers and then we had donuts or bagels one of them
Um, so i'm setting those out napkins, you know all that and i'm making a real nice real pretty and you know
I'm doing my thing minding my business. She's really pretty. She's really cute
Oh and her style was so pururu i'm not even gonna lie. Um, but I see her standing in the doorway
She's just kind of leaning there and she's looking at me very confused
And i'm like hi and she was like, um, i'm sorry. Are you a part of this meeting? Yeah, you know I am
Do you want some coffee donuts, you know anything girl?
She walks in and she was like, are you sure y'all i'm thinking that she's kidding and i'm like
Yeah, like
I'm, i'm sorry. I've just never seen you before like are you new?
It was like the little flip of her words that was really
Irking my nerves and I was like nah, like i'm just here just for funzies
I just happened to get up here somehow some way and decided to come to this exact like what?
I wouldn't consider myself new
But this will be my first meeting that i'm attending for this topic
So I will be attending these meetings going forward. Okay. Wow. Okay. So what department do you work for?
There are going to be times when people are asking you questions because they're genuinely curious
They want to get to know you like a little bit about your background. They're just kind of curious
it's genuinely a curiosity and then there's another form of questioning that's just like
I'm trying to figure out where you fit in and all this because to me
You're not supposed to be here and that was the vibe
She was giving me she was like and like what department are you in and like looking at me?
Like what could you possibly bring to the table for a lack of better words? Um, you know, the receptionist. Oh
Oh, okay. That makes sense. That makes sense
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
So like everything that she was saying was just rubbing me the wrong way and I was like, okay
We're just gonna play nice like I don't know her like that
I had not seen her up until this point and maybe some people just come off a little too strong
She just don't know how to word her questions, but i'm just gonna let this slide
So at this point people are kind of trickling in and some of my homeschooled biscuits that i've already
Kind of developed a rapport with that work on my floor. They start coming in. Good morning, Nikki. Hi Nikki
Oh, you got all this set up and so they start coming up to me and i'm like, oh hey
And I pay her no mind anymore, you know x amount of chairs and how many people were going to be in this meeting
Exceeded that so we had a few people that were standing up against the wall
So she didn't even try to take a seat. She just stood against the wall right next to the door fast forward
The meeting commences and we start talking about everything that's on the agenda
And um, there was going to be like an event going on
It was just supposed to be an in-office event and they were talking about catering and things like that
And those are the things that I took care of I had all the catering forms there
I had to fill out forms for like accounts payable and things like that
So we're we get onto this topic and the head of this meeting, which was my direct supervisor
You know, she's talking directly to me and this was i'm not gonna lie y'all it was kind of
I had never I wasn't used to that many people like looking at me and I had not been you know
Actively involved in a meeting this big before so I was very nervous and so she's like asking very direct questions
You know, what day did you already call in? You know, did you already reserve this spot?
You know, did you already put in the order form?
Have you already notified accounts payable stuff like that? And I got all my ducks in a row and i'm like, yes, ma'am
You know and i'm going through all of my stuff, right? I get interrupted and the most disrespectful. I'm so sorry nikki
I'm, sorry. I don't mean to interrupt yet. You are I don't mean to interrupt but i'm speaking of accounts payable
You know, I was noticing i'm doing some cross-referencing and like she starts talking about this fucking excel spreadsheet that we had
Discussed two three topics ago and I guess miss thing just forgot or had to take all this time to formulate her damn question
But she decided to take this moment
During my my speech of how I have all my ducks in a row to my direct supervisor to be like, oh, i'm, sorry
I I don't mean to interrupt so we're gonna backtrack to this topic
Yeah, so they have this quick thing my supervisor bam her attention is back on me and she's like, okay
Now do you need my signature or anything?
And I did I had a few things that I needed to kind of you know
Go over with her and she was like, okay just stop by my office, bitch
I'm, so sorry
Actually, I was wondering um
Do you have any lunch plans today because I needed to talk to you about the so-and-so project and it's the same girl
and by this point i'm looking at her like
I feel like I feel like do we have a problem?
Do we have like I don't understand like that could not have waited maybe email it bitch
Like what are you doing? You could tell everybody was like what the fuck because like she just kept girl girl
I get disrupted again. My supervisor looks at me again to like continue our conversation
I just looked at her and I was like i'll stop by your office later
If you have any other questions, yeah, that sounds great
Like we were on the same page like because this bitch keeps interrupting. So evidently we cannot have this discussion
Okay, i'm a little bit annoyed
But again, I don't really know this girl like she doesn't work on my floor
I have nothing to do with her but she is kind of like
Like a moscow. She's like annoying. She's just like she has no tact when it comes to meetings and
The etiquette of meetings because there is an etiquette to that. You cannot just continue to
Interrupt during a meeting. There's a time when you're like, you know speaking and each person has their moment like come on now
That's right. I peep it. I peep it fast forward. I go back to my desk everybody
This is what i'm talking about
Like stop acting like this the professional environment because i'm telling you right now
My desk would be flooded with my home skillets my co-workers that just wanted to they just wanted to come get the cheeseman
They just wanted to drop off some gossip
They just wanted to sip their coffee and be like did you hear so i'm sitting at my desk
Everybody disperses and like two of my co-workers come to my desk and they were in the meeting
So they come to my desk and i'm doing whatever and i'm still a bit irritated. Hey nikki
So like what'd you think? How'd you like the meeting? You know, you did really well. Can we talk about taylor?
What was going on with her if she interrupted one more time? I was about to lose it. Thank you
The other one is gonna sit up there and concur and she was like, oh my like I saw that too
My co-workers peeped that too and I was like, okay
So they gave me validation that i'm not tripping. All right, like that was crazy
Like you just don't interrupt like that
Anyway, so at that point that was the first time that I heard this girl's name taylor
All right name to the face name to the funky face
Typically, I would have lunches by myself because like I ain't got time for that
I would pop my headphones in and like go spend my money like I had it
I'm the only person in my family besides julian that likes panera like y'all my husband thinks that soup is a condiment
And I mean that with all sincerity look at my face
My husband thinks that soup
Is a condiment. I love me some broccoli cheddar soup. I love me some chicken noodle soup like anything with a broth in it girl
I would take my time during my lunch hours while I was at work to get the stuff that I really really really like and
Today I was filming panera. So I take my cute cell phone pop my headphones in I get to panera and it's really busy
Because obviously it's sun shower. So the line is like hella long
So I take my place in line and you know, i'm just on my phone. I'm listening to my music
No big deal. I order and while i'm getting my drink i'm waiting for my order
Somebody comes up beside me and they're filling up their drink and they're like, oh, hey fancy seeing you here
And it's one of my co-workers. We're gonna name him josh. And so i'm like, oh, hey, what's up?
You know telling me about the projects that he was working on. Okay, cool
So I grabbed my food and i'm not gonna lie y'all like I kind of hated I hated running into my co-workers because
This would happen where instead of me like being able to enjoy my food
I almost feel like obligated to you know, I don't I don't want to be rude
So i'm like kind of taking time out of my lunch that line took four evs
So by the time, you know, I got my food and my drink and everything
It made the most sense to walk back like I needed that time to walk back
I probably I was gonna take my food back to my desk and munch on it back there. So here we go
I'm walking back to work. Josh is right next to me. Okay the whole time y'all he is talking to me about whatever
Okay that he's working on and everything. He's a very talkative person
We get to our building and we have like this huge what are they called?
The the doors the turntables the roundabouts the chimichangas bitch in this lobby
It was huge and there was a bunch of lounge chairs on the left
On the right there was a little starbucks and some tables and chairs and then right in front is a literal convenience store
Okay, so there's a lot of people but as i'm making my way through this damn turnaround door
Whatever the hell it's a revolving door bitch
And I lock eyes I lock eyes you hear me and like she's walking
Towards me as i'm getting out of this thing. It is no other than taylor taylor
And she's looking dead at me girl. This is young nikki. This is don't play with me nikki
This is do you got a problem nikki? What the hell I see her she sees me
I see her and i'm like hello. You think I looked away? I did not I was like if you have a problem josh
Hey, oh my god, you're just getting back from lunch. I was gonna ask you if you wanted to have lunch
Where'd you go? You went to panera? Why didn't you tell me girl this whole time that I thought she was staring at me?
She was staring at josh
Well, there I am up in the car and i'm like, oh, okay you lucky. Okay, you lucky so I start walking away
I don't have nothing to say. This is not my this is not my situation and quite frankly
I was kind of I was kind of thankful for miss taylor
Coming and intercepting the situation because I am trying to eat my food in peace josh worked on my floor
So I would you know what I mean slowly but surely walking away nikki
Hold the elevator for me. Just hold on for like two seconds. Our elevators took forever
And that's why he said that she spins around and this time
She's looking at me. She looks down in my hand
She sees that damn bag and she turns right around right in front of me. I'm standing right there
Did you guys go to panera together?
You guys went to panera together, uh, I know you I know you're lying. I know you're lying. Oh my god
I simply I said no and walked my ass away. That's all I have to give you. I don't know you
I don't need to be telling you about the whereabouts during my lunch hour
Ho so like you can go ahead and sure enough there goes I hear him being like no
We just like ran into each other there. I just found out that this girl existed
I definitely don't know anything about her personal life and I don't know josh like that either like he works on my floor
But he works on the opposite side and you know
We would just see each other in passing because again my desk was right there by the main doors in two ways girl
Neither one of these people do I care about deeply? Okay, like honestly
So I just walked off the elevator takes forever and by the time it comes
Here comes josh and he stands right next to me. Why are you so messy?
I could see that concern in her face and I was like there's something going on there and I really don't want to know
I really don't want to I really don't care sure enough bitch unsolicited who starts telling me about this situation
They went on a few dates. We kind of ghosted her for a little while
They started talking to other people then they kind of started talking again. It's been an on and off situation
They were buddies
They were like, let's just call a spade a spade like he's over here
Telling me the last time he saw her was like last weekend and he hardly even remembers it
She just showed up at his apartment. Like why are you telling me all this?
I don't care. That is how I classily found out that they had been messing around on and off
And you know for a few months now i've been kind of like dodging her a little bit and I didn't ask her to lunch today
So she was probably a little confused. Okay, like, okay like I
Girl, I try to shut this down so fast we get to our floor
And I pretend like I have to go to the bathroom and I just drop off my food at my desk and I was like
Okay, josh. Well, like, you know talk to you later. Bye
We would have to bind everything so the eight and a half by eleven paper
Was constant that was like our goal. We used so much paper
so with that being said
The coffee rooms were my responsibility as well in the sense that all of the supplies the supply orders
And then getting everything out onto the floor and organized my job everything labeled
My job doing the orders my job getting accounts payable involved my job
I knew the delivery schedules for everything like the back of my hand
Typically our paper would be delivered bi-weekly which means that it was huge deliveries
I would typically have to have like two of my co-workers at least help me roll these papers each coffee rooms
Because we had two of them two big ones on my floor
Well, anyways girl i'm sitting where my desk is it can see where the elevator chamber the elevator hallway is
And I see our delivery guy
Come out of that elevator and he's got his cart
And what's typically typically he's got to make two trips
Okay, two
Why does this man come off of this elevator and he's got all of four boxes
Maybe five maybe him is calculated. Maybe he's got to make another trip. No big deal
I let him in he comes in, you know, I gotta sign off on the paperwork and I see
four or five boxes on the on the paperwork and I was like, oh
No, no, no, we need like three four times this what are you talking about like, you know this and he was like
Nope that right there that you have in your hand is what was submitted to us
So this is all I have on my truck y'all my heart dropped my heart dropped and I was like, what are you talking about?
Girl, let me tell you something
Okay, I had been gone the week prior when this form had to be submitted
Okay, and I had an older co-worker because she was the one that was like there for years and years and years
She was like the senora of the office and you know, she thought she knew everything and she was the expert
She helped train me and all that
so I really thought
That I was leaving my role into good hands when I had a doctor's appointment and I had to leave for half of the day
And I told her that she needed and she knew she had put in these forms before bitch long story short
this heifer
Did not put in that form right and she ended up putting the wrong number on the quantity of the paper
That was submitted and so now we got this little brinky dinky delivery. What the hell am I gonna do?
Hey, you need to come over here and fix this discrepancy. Like we don't have any paper. What do you mean girl?
She tries to blame it on me. She was like, isn't that didn't you put in that order?
And I was like, no, do you see this date the date of submission right there?
That was you that was you so like do not so we have like this back and forth finally
She's like, yeah, that was me like my apologies
She was like we need can I get an expedited order in?
And like i'm just like you deal with it because this is a mess
And I don't know what we're gonna do because we have like I was helping to bind
These manuals like they were a part of a big meeting that was coming up. We had to do like the nice
Covers that were like plastic and clear we had to do the you know, the front face girl
It was a whole thing and we had over 15 attendees girl. We needed so much paper my supervisor
Here's all the hubbub that's going on at the front desk and she comes up and she stands next to me
She was like is everything okay? Not really. Not really
Uh, so I tell her the situation with the paper and she was like you're kidding and I was like
I'm not and I was like, I don't know what i'm gonna do like I
Had everything spaced out to where I could get x amount of binding done per day while still
Managing my regular duties so that I could have
All of these done by the time the following monday came around which was the big meeting
So I tell i'm already on a time crunch. She was like, okay
Okay, here's what we're gonna do
I need you
To visit our different floors and see if they can spare some paper for us
Like, you know, even if it's a box or two here and there even a few rings can get us through
At least a few more handbooks, but you know, please girl
We had so many floors in this up
We had so many floors in this office 90% of which I had never stepped foot in i'm not even gonna lie
My floor was the main floor what you want me to say?
She was like just go take a cart
And go to those floors and tell them the situation
And like i'll have someone cover you and she's looking at my co-worker that screwed all this stuff
And she was like I will have someone cover you and I knew that she
Was gonna take the opportunity while I was gone to getting her ass about this whole mess, right?
I start visiting these floors y'all and it is so awkward
I'm trying to figure out which direction I could go because a lot of them had double entrances on each side
And who do I need everybody's so confused. Hi. Can I help you? Can you spare some paper, sir?
Can you spare some paper if you would please everybody had gotten their delivery that day like when we got our deliveries
They would deliver to each floor just made it seem like I didn't do my job, right?
So everybody's like wait like you ran out of paper
How is that possible like today's delivery date and I was like, I know I know that but like
I don't have time to get into the meat potatoes. Like do you have it or not?
We ordered what we knew that we were gonna need like, you know, we don't have any to spare
I'm, sorry, and I was like, oh my god
So I go to like two three different floors get the same answer
I had like one or two floors that were like, I mean I can spare you like
A few reams and I was like, I will take anything anything anything
So there I go
I have like a few little funky reams on my cart and i'm just like going up this elevator like oh my god
I get to the next floor
And I get off that elevator and it looks like a barren wasteland. It looks like a ghost town and
There are like the lights are off, but there's so much light coming in from the windows
So I could see in everything but like the office lights not at all
So i'm very converged and so I was like, okay, so I pick a side I pick the right side
I take my little cart. I go in this suite. I see, you know have to scan my card
I go in this suite and there's no like reception desk or anything, right?
It's just immediately cubicles all empty. No computers. No chairs
No, nothing like nobody's working on this floor and i'm like hello
And I have the directory and it says that this floor has a few departments in it
So i'm like, okay. Well something I gotta be here like what you mean?
so, um
I just start kind of exploring I go down the hallway a little bit and i'm like what the hell and i'm just like looking
Around and there's like an empty conference room and i'm like, okay
And in my mind i'm like, okay. Well, maybe they have like a supply closet down here
Maybe there's you know, like a little stash down here that I can kind of pick through right?
As i'm going down the hallway, I start hearing laughing
So I take my cart and I go down there and i'm like, okay i'm gonna go ask
So I go down there and there's a set of cubicles and I come around that corner and immediately laughing stops
It's taylor
Then the other one was a girl that I had never met before in my life, but she was really nice
She looked up she was like hi. She was like, oh my can I help you? And I was like, yeah
So, you know i'm sitting there and i'm like i give my spiel
And i'm like, yeah, you know if you guys have any paper like i'd really appreciate it
And the whole time taylor, she's like looking at me and she's looking at my cart and she's like wasn't today delivery day
Like I said, there was a discrepancy
With the order form so we're running short and like I have this big project
So that's why i'm in this like going through the spill again. I'm really trying to maintain
my professionalism
That sucks. Um, well, what do you think the other girl is genuinely concerned and she's like, oh my god, dude
We don't have anything down here
she was like
We don't even have a printer on this floor shut up and she was like i'm so sorry and I was like me
So, you know they tell me no
I tell them. All right, cool. Have a great day. And like I keep it very pleasant
I turn my little cart around I start walking away and this
That's crazy, but like i'm not surprised
She's just the receptionist like she probably doesn't even know what she's doing girl. These bitches start laughing
They start laughing and like
I don't think the other girl was laughing because she was trying to make fun of me
I just think that she was like in an awkward position. She was like, uh-huh like right but this girl
She was like laughing like cackling. Okay, and you know that mean girl laugh that mean girl laugh like
Like that's why I guess so. She's just the receptionist
They treated me like I didn't know what I was doing
Like I didn't know what I was talking about because of my age. I got really tired of it. So hearing this girl
Cackle about my position
Really got under my skin and I didn't say nothing because it's a perfect again
I'm, it's unprofessional to be you know trying to in the office
So I gotta walk away but my pride my ego if you will was very damaged
It didn't irk me a little bit irk me a lot of it a lot of it so much
So that I went back to my desk and I was like, okay, I got something for your ass
I was able to get a few more rings of paper, but I went back to my desk girl
and I was like, let me let me see something let me just see because
They were just like by themselves and I had never met that other girl either
And like in my mind I was like you gonna make fun of my position
Like what do you do?
Like what is it that you do because like I don't even I don't even hear about you like at office
Holiday parties nothing like how come hello, but I got the master directory. Don't play with me
I look up miss taylor
I find her no problem. No problem
And I look at miss thing's title and it says verbatim
Intern parentheses unpaid intern parentheses unpaid
Miss thing that has a lot to say ain't even an actual employee of this company
She don't even get a check come to find out that she didn't even work full days
She didn't even work full weeks
She worked a few days out of the week for a few hours
And I never knew that because she worked on a whole different floor
So I was like, I know you lying not you talking stuff to me when i'm an actual employee
I got a w-2 like what are you talking about? And look there ain't nothing wrong with interning
Just like there ain't nothing wrong with being a receptionist though
So before you come at me like there there's nothing wrong with doing interning and like sometimes you have to I know that
And sometimes folks like me cannot go to college afford to do an unpaid internship because I gotta work
So that was the only reason why because like you got something to say about me i'll say something about you all day long
So what's up?
No, check having ass. What you talking about? I felt a little better about the situation
Realizing that she was an intern not because there's anything wrong with it. But you know compared i'm a paid employee
So I was like, you know what?
Who cares about her opinion? I don't care come in here and do your work for free. It's okay
I'm, just kidding. We had to do like a last minute run to office depot girl was a mess
I had to go with my co-worker in her car. It's always super weird being in strangers cars with them
But anyways, we got that situation settled
So fast forward a few months passed and one of the biggest projects that we were working on was a conjunction with another big
company that worked in transit and we were working on a line that was going to go from downtown denver all the way to
D.I.A because anybody who's from here or knows anything about denver d.i.a is nowhere near downtown
Nowhere in the world they were coming up with the line that was going to be a lot more convenient easy
Affordable, you know for people to get from the mecca all the way out to d.i.a in like one shot
So anyways, y'all they were creating this light rail
And they were going to be they had I had been seeing models of this thing on paper
And then I saw some like smaller 3d models of them during one of our meetings
But taray was so special because everything that I had been seeing on this paper on these diagrams and models
We were going to be seeing in real life. Not the full thing. It was like a demo. It was like
one of the cars
One of those that like it almost looked like a museum like where you can walk through
And see what everything will look like when it's all said and done
Okay, and they had a model that was ready to be looked at and like some of the most important like government officials
Were going to be coming out it was going to be it was a beautiful summer day
Press was there like news outlets were there our company was going to be taking half of the day off to go down there
All together it was at the other side of 16th street mall
So we were all gonna go over there and support our executives
Because they were going to be speaking during this press conference about their role
And how excited they are and that I got right and and we were going to get the tour of like the demo
Huge thing and we start planning and coordinating who we're going to be walking with, you know, whatever
So finally the day comes around. We're all excited. We got our walking shoes on everything's good
And I you know link up with my home skillets. We start shutting everything down
I got the phones forwarded. Everything's cool
And we take off and I mean we're taking over all of the 16th street mall the free ride the buses girl
We're taking up like four or five of them. I'm not even kidding
There's like a big crowd around where this demo is and there's like this stage with the podium right in the middle girl
You would have thought this was politics
so we get off we decide that we're all gonna stand in one area next to the stage that was closest to the stairs because
Like I said a few of our execs we're going to be going up there to speak right we all stand together all of us
And our execs are standing off, you know closest to the stage
Preparing and I can see some of them pulling out notes and they're going over their stuff
And a lot of them had their assistants with them and I hear one of the execs name
And I recognize this voice and it's taylor
And she is coming through the crowd and she's talking to one of the other execs and she's like hi
Hi, i'm here
And girl this girl got on heels
Okay
Our offices are all the way on the other end ten buck two from here like all the way on the other end
None of us were wearing heels this day. None of us you hear me this girl
But anyways to each their own to each their own much respect much respect and she stands next to the one that she was talking
To and you know, they're they're doing whatever no big deal. Okay, cool
So everybody starts queuing up and we have you know, the opening speaker
Very excited, you know talking about the innovation talking about the design how long it's been in progress and everything
They're very proud to unveil this demo cool company peeps. We're gonna go in first
Okay
So anybody who had like a lanyard for this event you could go on first and you can go ahead and start lining up
Right, so we end up moving around the stage and behind the stage was the demo piece
They had speakers that were talking to the crowd while we went in there first
And so it was just kind of like this constant, you know motion of people that were going in and out of this thing
So it's our turn we go in this demo you guys it is so cool. The ceilings are high
They have like these, you know, the compartments on planes for your luggage
They essentially had they had exactly that but in this light rail
Like the chairs were bigger a lot more comfy like it was just it looks so sleek and so cool
And it was just crazy to see this thing in real life that we i've been printing out pages of time time again
We go through the demo and then we go take our spot right next to the stage where we were before
They got start going through more of the speakers
You know some of the press is asking some questions about when it'll open and timeline and stuff like that
And then it comes around to oh, you know
We're in partnership with our company our execs start going up there and one by one they're going on the podium
But they're lined up behind the person that's speaking at the moment
but all of them I guess they did that so like visually you could see like these are the amount of
People that were working on this from this company
Some of them had their assistants with them and the assistants were going up there and just standing, you know
Towards the back and then as their exec would go up and speak they would just kind of stand there
They had notes for whatever just for support, right? Everybody's applause. Yay. Yay
Everybody it sounded like something off of a movie i've always wanted to be a part of a community gasp
And this was my moment one second to the next we just see this girl's head and boom
She's gone. She's down. Can't nobody see her and then she pops back up
And i'm like, oh my god, not miss taylor
Not miss taylor girl. She didn't I don't know what happened them heels did her dirty
They really really did this girl. She and she did an ugly fall and i'm so sorry
I'm, so sorry, but like growing up in the family that I have
If you fall in my presence, i'm going to laugh. I will make sure that you're okay
But i'm going to laugh like it is girl. I had to
Not because I was trying to be mama
Because genuinely like I was not expecting somebody to come up here and eat shit, but it was just a little bit sweeter
I'm, not gonna lie. I'm not here to front with you
Okay, and act like i'm holier than thou and i'm just too grown to like
It was a little funny. It was a little
There was cameras going off. I'm guarantee you that somebody somewhere
has
Has a picture of taylor mid-fall like busting her ass on that stage. She has to stay
She has to stand there while the speeches are going on and she just has to stand there looking at the crowd looking at the very
People that just had a front row seat to her ass
It stole the show for a little bit like you legit
There were people that were coming up to her trying to give her water and she's like no i'm like i'm fine
And I I felt bad for her because I was like just leave her alone
Like she's trying to recover like how embarrassing and i'm sure that had to girl. I didn't feel too bad
I didn't feel too bad because because I feel like had that happened to me in her presence
She wouldn't have felt bad either. So as soon as the last one of our executives did his speech we all end up
Going back to the office because we could leave early that day
So we take off that attitude must have fell out of her when she fell on that stage because girl
She was a completely different. I never heard not a word from her ever again
Like she even seemed like a lot nicer. I think it kind of humbled her a bit. God works in mysterious ways. I was kidding
Don't be mean don't be unprofessional. Don't be a hater
Okay, like especially I don't know
I just I experienced that a lot in the workplace and not just with like me personally
But I would see that happening to co-workers
And like between other people that just kind of had a vendetta against each other. There's a lot of office politics
pandering betrayal
a disloyalty like throwing other people under the bus talking about other people trying to
Step on other people to get higher up. Don't misunderstand
You still have to have your guard up in your workplace
Just because it's called a professional environment does not mean that people operate in a professional manner
Because at the end of the day how she was behaving in the office was unprofessional
I don't really need to explain it any further the girl fell and I thought it was funny. So it is what it is
I just wanted to let y'all know
I hope I really wish somebody would have been a lot more real with me about the office dynamic and like
Pettiness still resides here. Let's not front. So i'm letting you know as your big sister big cousin your tia
That's what it is

Thank you all so much for coming to chill with me for story time
