Chereads / Joe's Job Journey! / Chapter 6 - Chapter 1

Chapter 6 - Chapter 1

Now as you begin to read about my journey. I must 

 make one thing perfectly clear, I am the hardest working 

 man in America! But unfortunately I am also the worst 

employee from America! I am no killer going all postal 

and shit! I am no pervert or under the desk wack master 

or a walking sexual harassment. I am a misunderstood 

black man walking the line of a harsh work environment. 

Now with that said and out the way you should feel my 

feelings when I say. 

 A job, A job! What the hell is that? I'll tell you what that 

It is a piece of fucking shit that you have to put up with 

day in day out or die! or go hungry ,or homeless! All that 

is out the way for the time being. Feelings are important! 

 

 Now a job is far more different than a career. A career is 

something that brings you good money, not just barely 

enough money like a job does. A career can bring 

happiness and fulfillment a feeling of being needed and 

appreciated. Now a job. Ha Ha Ha! funny stuff huh. A job 

can also fill you up with something, but not with LOVE 

but horrible zombie shit! 

 

 That is what you have to deal with on a job. First of all let me teach ya something. A job does not really need you or else they would not be willing to get rid of you so easily. A good wolf always got sheep at the gate! The only need a job has for you is to use you. 

 Secondly, why would they appreciate somebody that they are using? They appreciate the cheap labor that's all! Thirdly, a job only will provide enough money for your hard worked services to pay your bills, but not enough to really live. Got to keep them peasants way down on their level in the dirt! Now let us begin our journey folks. 

 The sun beats down on the backs of a Mummy and her youngest baby. He is a 13 year old golden brown handsome chocolate black teen boy named JOE! They are working in the front garden planting rose bushes and various other flowers. 

 

 Now Joe has always been a landscaper in training. His wonderfully smart Mother has taught him many things he will need in life to be a real MAN! 

 Now just like there are differences between a job and a career. There are also many differences between a real Man and what "Kevin Hart'' calls a "Mitch" or male Bitch! Now with that being said this kid Joe's MoM was raising him to live real as a Black Man in America. 

 

 He was well trained in manners, etiquette,landscaping 

and other career oriented things. But was he ready for 

this world as it is? Or was he only ready for the world 

that the schools taught him? 

 Joe's very realistic MOM thought he should be prepared 

for all the traps that life surely had setup for him. She 

knew that the Schools were only teaching ABC's and 

123's and a bunch of Half lies all in between. 

 

 They made slavery ok,like black people like to work for 

free. Bullshit! Waghington did not lie Bullshit again! 

Was he or was he not a politician? He was not the first 

President but he did get in like all the rest of them. 

 From the first all the way up to "obama", "Trumpy '' and 

"Crazy Joe Biden"! It is not the people that are picking 

the country's leader. It Is a small group of citizens, called 

the Electoral College. 

 So with such lies running the world Joe's MoM had a 

plan one day. She Told Joe that the family car was junky, 

a real pig sty as she often said referring to Joe's room.

 

 She also stated that she lost a $100 dollar bill 

somewhere under all the car's mess. He could have 

$100,if he cleaned the car inside and out. Starting with 

washing the car. Joe jumped at his MOM's offer! 

 

 He thought to himself finally a paying gig instead of all 

this free slave lawn care stuff. Joe went in hard cleaning 

that car. It was only a busted Cordova, but it was clean as 

a Bently. Joe was very happy with the great work he did 

to his MOM's car. But strangely enough he did not find 

that dang $100 but all the same he was excited with his 

first solo assignment completed. 

 Joe started to jump around and sing I got a job, I got a 

job I am the Man, I'm the Man. He jumped and sang his 

way into the house to find his Mummy! 

 

 

 Hey, Hey, Hey Boy what you doin? Joe stopped jumping 

and replied your car is all clean, your car all clean, But no 

hundred dollars,no hundred dollars, but Joe still needs to 

get paid, Joe needs to get paid! His MOM broke out 

laughing and said there ain't no missing $100 dollar bill in 

the car I tricked you like most jobs will! 

 

 I got you to not only clean and vacuum the inside,but 

also you washed the car. That is not funny MOM. Joe 

says. Yes it is says MOm you was with me earlier this 

morning when we went to the car wash. HA HA HA! you 

was so amped up to get that money you forgot. 

 HA HA HA! I sold you a false promise and you paid 

above the price. HA HA HA! MY golden brown boy do not 

get mad. I have taught you an important lesson. 

 

 In life the world will always sell you a false hope, 

especially a job. They will tell you how much they are 

different from other companies. They will lie to your face 

and say we are family, we got your back if you have 

problems. They will sell you a wolf ticket if you let them. 

Joe stood there for a second then said oh I see MUMMY. 

 

 Life is going to try and play with me on this work stuff 

Huh? Yeah they will, Son. We "gotta play the game if you 

wanna win". That is the lottery slogan MOM. 

 WEll it should be for life too. I Will just say this: if you 

want a job you will get it, but if you want a career you 

gonna have to work your jelly. Meaning you're gonna 

have to work harder! You black in a place that does not 

want you to succeed. So spread that jam boy you 

understand me. Yes, Ma'am Joe says. I fully get it MOM! 

Joe did get his mommy's point. But will he remember 

when face to face with the world? 

 

 The next paying position Joe got was through his Nana. 

Who by the way was a big gangster in her own right. She 

got Joe hooked up! He was gonna work the summer 

school break as an attendant at the local city pool. And 

yes it was a hookup job Joe was only 14 years old without 

any working permits. Nana had the juice! 

 

 So Joe started his new job at the city pool. Now this 

particular pool was no ordinary poor kids pool. Oh no it 

had all the hood stars from the flyest dresser to the most 

paid drug pusher and all his minions. If you was the 

dopest dancer you were at the pool with your boom box 

on deck. 

 And OOOOOOH all the pretty girls! And trust me when 

you're 14 years old and all the girls are in bikinis, none of 

them are ugly they are all very, very pretty. 

 Joe loved his first real job! He thought to himself 

watching all the beauty and booty pass by while working 

the check in desk. 

 

 This is the career for him. The most gorgeous of all the 

girls, where the lifeguards, they were all female. Joe's 

older sister was the head lifeguard. She was very loving 

and protective to her little brother. She saved his life! 

 

 When Joe was 5 years old, he and his sister were 

walking in the dirt poor projects where their Mummy had 

an apartment. All of a sudden a german shepard attacked 

little Joe chomping down on his upper leg! 

 

 The dog picked him up and was thrashing his leg like a 

wild gator! Joe's wonderful and pretty sister, Remember 

She was head Lifeguard, a person born to save. She beat 

the brakes off that dog till he released her kid brother. So 

she was one of his heroes and he trusted her word! 

 

 Plus she kept him fly by combing his nappy head every 

morning before school. She made sure his clothes were 

tight and on point at all times! Joe's Mom's had three 

jobs and left before the kids did everyday. 

 Now back to the pretty people's job that JOE had at the 

pool. One of the Lifeguards was movie star pretty and Joe 

had a crush on her! She was so pretty he looked at her 

even when she did not wear a bikini. Whenever she 

caught him looking she would smile and wink. Joe never 

took it seriously though she was a senior in highschool 

and he was in the eighth grade. 

 

 He got kept back or should I say his Mom"s made them 

keep him back. Joe was kind of a Class Assclown but he 

got over it on his journey towards manhood! 

 

 One day another Lifeguard caught Joe looking at his 

pretty Lifesaver. She surprised him, and said you know 

She like,likes you. Joe said no way she said yes sir, way! 

 She wants you to meet her in the locker room, you 

down little guy? Yeah Joe whispers and runs to the locker 

room! When he enters the room he screeches to halt 

right in front of his chocolate Lifesaver. 

 

 She says Hey I see you got the message. Joe says uh uh 

looking deep at her gorgeous eyes. She really likes me, 

she really likes me, he thinks in his head. He starts to tell 

her how pretty she was and how he liked her hair and 

what not. 

 

 JOE was talking and Before he knew what was 

happening She gave him one long deep ass kiss. Joe's 

toes curled up it seemed and a shiver went down his 

spine! She backed up smiling all flirty and ran away. Joe 

was just stuck there for like 5 minutes! Later that day she 

asked Joe if he wanted to come to a party? Acting all 

grown he said Hell yeah! 

 

 When he got home he took a shower and started to get 

ready for the party. While he was getting ready for the 

party his sister passed by his room. She said, where you 

think you are going? He said that the pretty Lifeguard 

from the job kissed him and invited him to a party. She 

said What and got really angry! She a set up bitch JOE! 

He said what HUH? SET up what? 

 

 She said you wait right here mister party kissing man. 

She stormed out the house talking to herself and cursing! 

I'm gonna kill her! A couple hours passed by and Joe's 

sister returned. She said the party is canceled and you 

just quit that wack Assed job! 

 

 Joe said whaat, why, why NOOOO Booty and Beauty 

career why? His sister said quite boy! I beat that bitch up 

bad she was setting you up for failure! She the one in the 

hood gang in the area that lured young guys to join them! 

 

 She would half way sex up teen boys. Then She would 

literally Mind FUCK these youngins. And the tripped out 

thing was that she was only a youngin herself at 17 

years old. I told our boss you quit! Right? AS she gave him 

the look. Ok, ok , ok sis you ain't gotta beat me up too. 

Joe Really had respect for his big sis. She saved his life 

again! 

 

 That was also his first example of somebody playing 

games with him at a job. See, told you a job ain't shit! 

First real one away from Mummy and what did Joe get? a 

Big pile of Zombie shit.
