Diary of Goddess: Life Lessons Learned

I started this blog in HS, when I was this materialistic, but saying I wasn't materialistic first to start a blog and thought my life was so fab since all I did was school, shop, & friends. Fast forward 4 years later, I became this college student that realized that college life wasn't like the movies and MY struggle began...Some 10 years from HS and here I am, living my dream of going to law school, bringing a whole new meaning to MY struggle…

No. 286 Aggression

Oh so lonely has turned into kind of a um, what can I say, a raging bitch only because I was dealing with a bitch. So, i'm at a lowly department store that was selling $19.99 shoes onsale and there were this pair of J P whatever shoes, kind of hurt, sad cuz they were orginally 140 down to 39.99, but besides the part, I saunter over to the 19.99 and I pick up this black shoe that was not suppose to be in teh box with this colorful pair of shoes, the Korean lady saw me or whatever, I just set it back down saw another pair, and then she's straightening up the shoes and she tells me, "when you're done could you put the shoes back in the proper box" and i'm like I don't what happened to me because usually i'm like, "sure, ok" and just walk away because i'm like there is no way i'm going to berate you in front of other people and i'm just not going to stoop down to your level of inappropriateness, but for some reason i'm like "I know, that wasn't me, the shoe was already there before I got here, and i'm buying this pair (I had taken the right one out to put on then put it back in the box to grab the box so I could buy it, but she thought i'd just put it somewhere else even though she had and was seeing me put it in the proper box), and I tell her that it wasn't me and that i'm buying the shoe (i'm using force now in my voice)" So then she's like, "ok, I know it wasn't you, ok..." WHAT A BITCH, seriously, god, just because I'm Asian and she's Asian does not give her the reason to say something to me like that because she'd never say it to the white ladies, like when this girl was like, "oh there's no mate to this one," she's all like, "oh let me see...all smiley and being happy" So yea, but regardless, she didn't get my commission because another lady had already saw me first over at the 39.99 section and got a hold of me, that lady not too bright either, but something about her, she was happy and she was nice or willing to be nice even though she herself was like "this fucking sucks to be here on sale day." So, that lady is such a bitch and I mean I don't even know what to say to her besides the fact that if it was my mother she'd be even more rude to her, and the fact is that I kind of felt sorry for her since she had to work there, she's like 30ish, and she had to work in a department store and it ain't behind a desk, so in a way whenever I have these encounters, I realize how great and privileged I am and also that I have to work hard so I am not working with a women like that. God, and one time, also at the lowly department store that was newly acquired by the bi of the big, there was this Middle Eastern/Indian lady who got really snippy with me too, a buyer, but damn annoying, it's like that department store is the place for cheap shit, but in return you have to deal with shitty attitudes, now I get why the upscale ones actually survive because it's just like the aire of shopping there that gives everyone that great feeling, nonetheless I still feel great about my 19.99 shoes, kind of odd because I bought a 9 and a 8 size that is,b ut it's just those experience, and i'm not saying that all Asians or all ethnic groups there need attitude adjustments because there are two ladies there that are Asian and are fabulous to me and have always been gracious and for those two ladies I am much grateful, but god, today, the Korean lady was like the last straw or something and I let her have it as she couldn't look at me and was focusing all her mite on putting the shoes back together, god, it didn't feel great, but it felt like well deserved-have I turned into the bitch that I say I am?
