Chapter 2

Zelle

I went from a $4 billion company to a company who paid my first paycheck through Zelle. Real talk. I feel like Molly from HBO Insecure when she started at the Black law firm and was known for saying, “at my last firm…”

I loathe my boss. I really despise him. Just thinking about him angers me. If I were a cartoon character, I’d have red fire coming from my ears right now. My boss has a way of talking to me as if I was a complete idiot. I am already a sensitive person. Those two things don’t go together well. So I cry. I cry after our interactions every few days. I get anxiety when I receive communication from him. I finally found my entrance into the world of project management. But it came at the expense of my peace.

A few of my friends told me I should quit. Maybe I should. The truth is I have $31.72 in my checking account. As much as I would love to curse a couple people out and go out with a bang I cannot afford to quit right now.

Lesson: I do not have to like my job. But I damn sure better work like I appreciate what the job affords me. The utility company does not care about my likes.

Question: Anybody hiring for project coordinators?
