I finally got an interview! I have been job-huntin' for weeks, hell, months since the semester started. Anybody who went to college can relate to how extremely hard it is to get a job let alone a darned interview when you got the competition of 10,000 plus other students who may be lookin' for a job too. It's a job with an added bonus. If I get it, which I have a strong feeling that I will, I'll be a Campus Visit Office Coordinator which is basically someone who schedules campus visits with prospective students. I'll be workin in an office setting which is something that I've always wanted to do (I don't know what it is about desk cubicles, answering phones and putting data into computers, but it fascinates me). Plus, there's a perk to it: I'll tour prospects around the campus and tell them about the school all while getting a $3-500 scholarship and a check. Get up on THAT one! So I think it's great, I'm excited and I'm hoping that I get the job. Darrin, the only BLACK man I know that works in the office told me I'll probably get the job 'cause he's been pushin' to get minorities in the office. And speakin' of accomplished black folks, betcha didn't kno this:
This beautiful black sistah, Shonda Rhimes is the producer AND creator of Grey's Anatomy! Who woulda thought it! Now, I'm not against whites or anything, but I can't believe that this show, that I know A LOT of white folks love, is produced by a beautiful woman of color. Not saying that Black folks ain't able, but I've heard so many white people down blacks and throw black women into the category of big-booty ho's without a purpose. She (Rhimes) is the first African-American woman to produce and create a top-rated television series! She also co-wrote Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, in which Halle Berry starred and got a Golden Globe award for. Get onto that one! Ha! I read all this in my Glamour magazine I had. It just makes me feel so good to see a succesful Black woman who ain't about tryin' to be the latest and hottest video ho' or some other degrading profession. This woman is an inspiration to me because I want to be a writer. She's the flesh manifestation of a woman with a dream and enough passion and drive to achieve it. Let's give it up for her!
See ya!

Congrats on your interview!! good luck with that.
i was vaguely aware that a black woman was the founder of Greys Anatomy *big round of applause* it does swell your chest up in pride...awesome awesome awesome!!
lol@ cho crazy ass picture of a skeleton waiting on a good man!! that was too much!!
im glad mine is getting better as we speak!! so im not waiting on the next foo'..lol.
Good luck with the job!
Yup, it took a while, but by the time I really had fallen in love with Grey's, I knew Shonda was black. It was weird for me at first - sorta like it was weird when I found out that Ally McBeal was written by a *man* - gasp! (but less weird that a black woman would understand how women feel than that a white man would) and then Shonda and the rest of the writers started blogging, and I fell in love with the show and Shonda was my hero.
She was coming up in the ranks of my favorite writers ever (after David E Kelley and maybe before the Joss) when she started believing her own hype and saying she "wasn't playing by the rules of television, folks" when that's exactly what she was doing, killing Meredith, who, as we all, who watch ER know, you ain't dead till you're warm and dead,and you aren't dead when you're the lead and haven't been jockeying for more money.
Anyway, Shonda seems to have gotten over herself and is writing better stuff this year than last, so now it's only the writers strike that's a pain. I wish the producers would just pay up and let us have our writers back.
The last ep was by Shonda *and* Krista (who I love, cause her blogs are like verbal diarrhea, and she just rambles on like me) and no main cast member even tried to die! it was great. Plus, i like Lexie. And Shonda better not be breaking up Bailey's marriage. Cause that's just telling women you need to sacrifice your family for your career. Let's have a man sacrifice for once! Let's see one marriage succeed, even if people have to work at it.
I've rambled. But now that Shonda's regained control over her own characters, rather than them over her, I'm hoping I can trust her again, not to make me watch George and Izzie (yuck!)
Again - good luck with the job. I love office work myself. I once hung a Cubicle, Sweet Cubicle sign in my very own cubicle. :-)
I concur with Ms. Lady. Congrats for landing the interview. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya that you get the job.
WOW @ Shonda Rhimes being the producer and creator of Grey's Anatomy. [I had NO idea].
That right there is what's up!!!!
LOL @ the photo depicting a woman waiting for the perfect man. Happy to know my fellow sistah is happy with hers.
Thanks for stoppin' by my blogspot. Hope you'll come again.
Wow, I didn't realize that someone black, let alone a sister was the creator of Grey's Anatomy. Good for her. Oh, and good luck on the job hunt. Thanks for stopping by my site.
