Let's Say 9AM Cause Im Regular

IHello, WORLD!! Smokkee here, of course. I would be here a lot more often but life gets in the way. Gotta eat. Gotta make sure my kids got what they need. Gotta have money to do anything so I gotta go get it, point blank. When my writing takes off I might not have to work as hard anymore but I doubt I'll slouch off. That's not what I do. Plus I like my job doing customer service for a messenger company. It's the little things that can make you smile that make up for the brutality of the job, like most jobs. Yesterday, my smile moment turned into a LMAO moment. I took a call from this much older  guy placing a pick up going to a lab. He had ta be about 65-80 years old but still had his wits about him, dig.  Anyway, he wasn't a regular client so he wasn't familiar with placing the order. He wanted his package, which he kept calling a sample, picked up the next morning. Cool, we can do that. So my next question has to be what time is the package gonna be ready. That's when he guestimated sometime between 8-10am. Usually that annoys the fuck outta me but this old man had me chuckling the whole time. I gently told him I needed him to be more specific. He says "I wish I knew exactly when I'll produce my spool but I'm regular so it should be early." It took me about two minutes to stop laughing & maybe one whole minute to catch my breath after that case of TMI. He took my laughing loud as fuck in his ear in stride. Honestly, I'd think the whole thing was a joke if I didn't know any better. But as soon as I finished his order I got the rest of the laughter outta my system for another 5 minutes.Well that's it that's all for now, WORLD, but that was damn sho enough.           

Why Did You Unfriend Me?

Hello, WORLD! Smokkee Singleton here. As y'all know, I was a big fan of Facebook last year but I am now more of a devoted Tweeter than anything these days. That doesn't mean I don't do Facebook anymore; it just means I do it a lot less. What's the worse thing that can happen to you on Facebook? Besides having someone expose you (for cheating on your spouse, stealing from your company, etc), the worse thing that can happen is your real life friends decide not to be FB friends with you anymore. Normally, I don't pay attention to my friend count. It fluctuates anyway because some of my friends deactivate their accounts anytime they get fed up with FB (to each their own, I guess). I'm not the only person who isn't as stuck on FB these days but I won't go to that extreme because I have friends & family I haven't seen in YEARS and I'll be damn if we lose contact with each other this time.
Recently, a former coworker of mine named Grant just lost his moms. I found out from another coworker. It kinda shocked me because I couldn't believe that I didn't hear nothing about it through FB. That's usually the kinda thing that would be (rather SHOULD be) all over people's pages instead of the dumb shit they post anyway (SN: WTF up with the shoes?). So I try to post my condolences on his page right? I get there & I don't see anything but ADD AS FRIEND on there. WTF?!?! Is he serious? Then I here from another coworker that he's mad at me because HE got fired & SMOKKEE (me) didn't. Again, I ask WTF?!?!? How can he get mad at me because our job let you go & didn't let me go when I work my ass off, doing all I can, and most of the time he was unavailable for customers to talk to? How can he get mad at me to the point he says "We're no longer friends!" over some stuff that I have no control over? I didn't fire him; in fact, I gave him a job on one of my blogs! But we're not friends, huh? Our daughters graduated from the same high school just 2 years ago & now we're not on speaking terms. I never, ever tripped on being dropped as a FB friend before this. More than likely, I won't ever trip about it. I'm actually not even tripping now. If I was, even just a little bit, I probably would've came to my senses with 1 or 2 thoughts. Either thought A: If we were really friends, why woulda came and talked to me about any beef like a man? Or thought B: If we never worked together, would he have been my friend in the 1st place? I can answer both of them with the same answer & that answer is the main reason why I'm disenchanted with FB right now: Because some FB friends are only your friends to be nosy, then when they don't want to be nosy no more, they unfriend you or or get themselves fired. I don't drop friends or fire people, but maybe I should. Besides, he was just my public FB page friend. he didn't even know he wasn't part of my real page. But he wasn't a real friend so of course he wouldn't know that, right? #SadButTrue... Anyway, if you know the Grant that I'm talking about & he's still you're real life or FB friend, send him my condolences. Peace, WORLD!!!

The Next Level

Hello, WORLD! I guess you wondering where I been... I always think of that line from that Bobby Caldwell song WHAT YOU WON'T DO FOR LOVE when I haven't done any posting to Twitter, Facebook or the SMOKKEE's WORLD blogs. I feel like I've been neglecting my duties too long. I'm back now and I can't say I'll never stay away this long again but I can say that I'll always come back to you. Anyway, WHATS GOOD: I've been looking into hosting my own blog talk radio show / podcast with a couple of friends & family members. My topics? Sports, of course. Music & movies maybe. Relationships, only if I feel like the topic is one worth discussion. To be honest, aside from sports, I'm not sure what we'll be doing but I know it will be entertaining if anything. About my other endeavors, I'm still trying to get my first book of short stories completed but I had a set back when half of the stories I wrote was lost on a damaged flash drive. No worries; set backs are the best reason to start over again so I have. Anyway, I just wanted to update y'all on everythang I been contemplating but I guarantee I won't be gone for long. Well not as long as I was this last time. Feel me, WORLD? I figured you would.
