I see a lot of talk about us, but I have seen some acceptable behavior from "them" as well.

I should not see the imprint of your thong in your linen pants you wore to work. What you doing in linen pants at work anyway? With 'cho coooooooooooooool self.

^^^LOL,Yeah...they are off the hook. What's up with white dudes wearing expensive suits and some broken down dress shoes....you not going to catch a brother wit no busted ass shoes and a suit...hopefully:(

Hopefully is the key word!

Am I wrong for watching Maury at work?

yup...you know better

But I've seen the inverse of this work for us. I was browsing in an AfAm book section on my lunch hour and the sistah-clerk came up to me:

sistah-clerk: "Hi, I couldn't help but notice your shoes?"
Me: "What about em'?"
sistah-clerk: "They're shined."
Me: *slightly confused look* "Yes, And?? They're supposed to be shined."

I mean, if your shoes ain't shined, then you ain't dressed. Didn't we all learn this when we were like 9? :confused:

That's how bad it is. When you dress as you should, you tend to shock people.

Browsing Greekchat....but I do it anyway. LOL!

"Charlies Workplace Taboo"
 

Hotep Brothers.

One must be very aware of the reaction that "CHARLIE" has when a brother sports his RED, GREEN, and BLACK kuffi and counsels "CHARLIE'S" children as a counselor at a JEWISH-RUN social service agency.

Even more exciting is when the parents sit in on family therapy and observe their little "darlings" learning who NAT TURNER, DENMARK VESSEY, HARRIET TUBMAN, SOJOURNER TRUTH, are along w/knowing the location of certain URBAN INNER-CITY NOMENCLATURE such as MOSQUE MARYAM located in CHICAGO.

It is even nicer when "CHARLIE" finds a FINAL CALL lying around but is scared to confront someone about it, because "CHARLIE" is no fool. "him might be wicked, but him is no fool for him KNOW da LAW."

LMAO! I LOVE IT!


:cool:

lol
 

HAYLE NAW...the revolution will not be televised!!!!! Nat Turner huh....what were the children's response to the murder of white kids?:eek:

:eek:

Re: lol
 

lol. I'm wondering what the reactions are too.

One more thing you shouldn't do is walk around barefoot at work just because your workplace is carpeted. That is a no-no!

personal peeves
 

the walls of your cubicle filled with every inspirational e-mail, picture poem known to man. its kinda tacky.

casual friday DOES NOT equal rainbow shop/rave wear. invest in some khakis.

discussing salary--mind ya bizness

hair--comb, conk, grease, press--do something with it and stop looking like you want to be home

hair pt 2---those cornrows youve had in since the second ice age need to be REDONE--the lint and dandruff are starting to show

KEEP YOUR PANT UP. just because you are a mailroom clerk doesnt mean you need to look like a hoodlum

No Fair!!! I just got the lime green suit with matching gators that go perfectly with my pimped out lime green Scion that I just rented for the week! don't hate. *Hopes everyone senses my sarcasm as I go get a book to read* LMBAO!!!

um phrozen..
 

you forgot the pimp hat to match and your gold.....i mean platnum teef with "i gets all da bitches" imprinted on them :D

"We" are not the only ones guilty of this but -

1. Just not going to work period for no other reason than "it's a pretty day". Have some work ethic.

2. Gettin' buck wild at the wing joint across from the job (where there are sure to be a few supervisors) by getting sloppy drunk & actually showing your thong when the "Thong Song" comes on. You do have to go to work and show your face the next day - and psssssssst - EVERYBODY'S GONNA TALK ABOUT IT.
