Happy EE Day You Bloggers!

Written by Preshiii from the blog This, That & My 2 Cents Worth on 26 Oct 2007
Favourite this post

My inebriated state is not due to any Fish Eagle, Amarula etc....I have a sleeping disorder (I've concluded) cos my struggle with waking up far super-cedes half of the population I know...

To top it off, Its Friday, the weather is sommer deurmekaar with winter re-visiting us in the middle of October (if you live in JHB, you'll know what I'm talking about) when many have planned their hilili days around the beautiful expectant summer...depressing...:-(

So what intoxicates me???.....My waking up dilemma, this weather, deadlines for work projects....****screeching halt****...did I just say deadlines???....and thats the mental conversation I find myself having in the local venture taxi...or rather as my cousin & I call them...di "Things Fall Apart"....if its not a seat that's falling apart...its a door...I pray for my life daily...:-(

You see, no matter how much I struggle with waking up, I've since graduated from my "I'm sick, will bring you a note on Monday" and then proceed to sleep days....I'm a good girl I reckon.With my incredibly lazy intoxication mood...I realise I need to come up with a plan - fast!!!

So I start thinking...hey this would be the perfect day to celebrate your Employment Equity status....after all, you've been working your butt off to prove that you're worthy of being in this company & in your position...and all "they" still see is how black you are...I'm excited...perfect day to embrace generally perceived black behaviour in the workplace.

I walk into my office, greet everyone....and proceed to be what every black person in the workplace is generally perceived to be...irrespective of whether you work your ass off or not. I can, you see - I feel lazy today....Dont get me wrong...I love coming to work...its just this eight hour wait to go home that's absolute nonsense to me.

I give myself permission to be a "black, incompetent, internet guzzling, I'm here because of my skin colour employee day" translated "I do nothing but surf the internet all day" .

I'm readily armed with my sanctimonious, sarcastic remarks.... (We have a death in my family). In case you wondering how I can pull that off, you under-estimate my ability to dig deep from my evil soul to find crocodile tears to back my story up,( I just need to think of my ex whose shacked up with a girl that makes Alek Wek look like Tyra Banks in comparison)....sorry...I need to find a tissue....Right...

I'm backed by my self-righteous defensive indignation (Bantu Education & Apartheid) should anyone dare to question my lacksadaisical attitude 2wards work today (Human nature is wired to see negative's @ a speed of 120km/ph compared to 10km/ph for positives....I've thought of everything you see...

My boss has resevoirs of sympathy....and chocolates...****evil smile***

For all those that feel me " Happy Black, Incompetent, Internet Guzzling, I'm here because of my skin colour Employee Day"

I love Employment Equity today :-)

Do you? Holler....

@ TDC > You know this saying in Zulu " Ingubo endala idlalwa izingane" bathong motho su she is 40 and looking for men from 18 to 100 ga se gona go ijesa ka bana?

26 Oct 2007 03:06

LMAO!! Preshii I love this article!!

My personal quote (cause i dug deep into my wisdom pot) for this week is:

"Sleep is to me what waking up is to other people! "

I wake up cause I know I'm going to get back into bed while other people sleep because they know they are going to wake up tomorrow...:p

I find myself having in the local venture taxi...or rather as my cousin & I call them...di "Things Fall Apart"....if its not a seat that's falling apart...its a door...I pray for my life daily...

LOL!! Back when I used to be a "pedestrian" I would NEVER EVER get inside a venture, no matter HOW LATE I WAS!

I'm readily armed with my sanctimonious, sarcastic remarks, (We have a death in my family)

I stopped using these excuses years ago cause I have a big family and i'm afraid of lying about it incase it happens.

On a serious note though, I can't celebrate today with you cause I wasn't employed cause of my skin colour..i'm not here because I'm black....in fact I was head hunted cause I'm damn good at what i do, even if I manage to sneak in HOURS of internet use in between....guess that's what they call multitasking!

Toodecent

@ TDC > You know this saying in Zulu " Ingubo endala idlalwa izingane">>> Ammy I think I get you but not really sure do you mind saying it in English?

Ammy1GP
26 Oct 2007 03:15

@TDC- can't really xplain properly in engrish..... but what it minz is the more ukhula its doesn't sink that you ugugile back in your mind you think you are still young, fresh and energetic whereas you are NOT..... hope it made sense

Preshiii
26 Oct 2007 03:16

I wake up cause I know I'm going to get back into bed while other people sleep because they know they are going to wake up tomorrow...:p Hi hi hi

@ Toxic.....at last someone who "feels me"....

On a serious note though, I can't celebrate today with you cause I wasn't employed cause of my skin colour..i'm not here because I'm black....in fact I was head hunted cause I'm damn good at what i do, even if I manage to sneak in HOURS of internet use in between....guess that's what they call multitasking!

Same here girl....point is today due to my sheer laziness...I've decided to use the most stupid argument "the because I'm black factor" to justify my lack of enthusiasm for work & deadlines today...and in case anyone wants to get on my case...I've got all my trumpcards to pull :-)

WOW Preshiii, I LOVEEEEEEEE ur article. I believe that it's so well written that the colours don't even matter, in fact they add to ur article. And even though I KNOW for sure that I did not get my job becoz of my skin colour, I still love the way u express urself.

@ TDC, I will give u a direct translation of : " Ingubo endala idlalwa izingane" Now TDC, I know wena usyisqenqe (highly intelligent) so u will tell the figurative meaning of this saying directly it says: "A child plays with an old dress" Get it, not in the S'dumo style I mean?

I edited this article due to its colours, a call from bloggers for you to do it fell on deaf ears as Moderator its my duty to make sure things are balanced. You are welcome to delte it if you wish so as it is your own content and its your right. As for last words on your eply I suggest you swallow them cause that person you reffering to has full control over whats on TVSA. And I will delete your reply

Welcome Earth, nice refreshing name, please feel at home and if u are the sensative type, get over it soon, coz TVSA is real and majority of the bloggers (the regulars I mean) like Mwa, TDC, Toxic, BS, XC, Sponono, Spice, Kele, Sego, Pooky & more are genuiwine and we say what we feel..............period!!!

preshi u need to take constructive criticism in a more positive manner. maybe i should've have also complimented you on the content of the article, it is good, in a light manner which is nice, esp for a friday. mara the heading bathong i have to say doesn't appeal! i almost didn't read because it sounds like an attack

Sam2say
26 Oct 2007 04:57

@Preshii, interesting how good you can use words, I'm thinking maybe you shoul consider a second career in being a song wrighter- strictly for HIP HOP musos, what do you think, orrrrrrr.... maybe be a poet, but I think songs will be good, just add a little bit of a kick drum, snare, hi hats, bit of synth at the back and a kicking bass line, hai!!! Im telling you, you'll be rolling in doe and spending your time shopping as opposed to blogging......... ha ha ha , what do you think???????

26 Oct 2007 04:57

ok, before I got to Earth s response, i was asking myself ukuba how many people would ever admit that they got their job because of their skin color....
Im one of those people who didnt get offended by the content of the article, thought it was well written..... I am a black man who benefitted because of AA but now gettin dissed because of GE (Gender Equity)....
