Fuck it I'm just gonna get a Check!

You are not going to fire me because..haaaa I might not come back!



Okay..I was talking to my home girl..the one who I've known since I moved down here. She is older 30 years old..and that is my bitch..She has the best real world advice. She is the same one who got fired from ample jobs also. She has been through it, and I always think..if she did it, so can I.



So with her help I am convinced that right now...I'm just gonna get a check...2 weeks max..3 weeks for extra she said..She had me cracking up..



So I have to have training for this GA prek program. At the "MONTESSORI" school there was no training? I see a problem there. I am going to set up the classroom before the students come in 2 weeks. I don't want to meet the babies. I don't plan on staying long.



The interviewer told me that she wanted a portfolio and lesson plans. I told her I didn't have a portfolio, but was thinking *damn I should have done that @ Montessori*. I must say at Montessori we didn't have lesson plans..everything was ALWAYS impromptu. I would bust out with lets do yoga at any moment.



So I made this PowerPoint presentation because I don't have a printer of some "lessons" that I got off google. For the pay..they are stretching me thin already..But fuck it..I'm just gonna get a check..



A Poem... written by me..



Trying to survive
I'm wiping toilets
for 5.55
Minimum wage
How can I live
So I steal
Just to feed
My kids



I bust my ass
12 hours a day
I worker harder
Always for less
But what else
Can I do
When I got
Bills to pay
Except sweat really hard
And wipe my tears
Because I'm surviving for me
............I see no other way



The America Dream
Crossing the boarder
For only a short time
Huddling together
Stacking every dime
Deplorable conditions
In a land of foreign tongue
We work the hardest
Out on the farm



I'm on the corner
In my stance
Night...is my friend
Day..only when I'm feeling good
I do my thing...
I make them spend
To make my daddy feel good
But my makeup is too thick
And I feel overused
But this is all I know
So what's a girl to do?



But fuck it
Sometimes you gotta
Just get a check

I like this poem because this is the life of so many people, working just to survive.
