Tears

Published January 11, 2012 by DiamondStar Entertainment

Tears

Liquid emotions drain
From my eyes
Slowly form rivers down my cheeks
And escape to disappear into the softness
Of my comforter
My chest rises and falls
Heavily as I choke on my emotions

These feelings I can’t express,
can’t digest,
cant protest.
Still they come, they linger.
Remain ingrained,
a stain  no cleaner no to man,
can remove.
I refrain from shouting,
for fear my children will join me
in this helplessness.

Bliss
Happiness
More than a day or two
Of joy.
I wish for, yearn for
But when, where will this nightmare
I’m currently stuck in, be destroyed?
Is it me?
Is there something I’m just not seeing?

A message in a bottle
That hasn’t arrived on my shore yet?
Have the seas shifted my chapters end
To someone’s door?
SEND MY ANSWER BACK TO ME!!!!

Tears

Tears

Flow freely and they cleanse me.

10 things you Never want to hear at work

Published September 20, 2011 by DiamondStar Entertainment

Top 10 Things You Never Want to Hear at Work

1. We’ve got a crisis on our hands. Don’t be fooled by the implication of shared responsibility. That’s just a euphemism. Make no mistake; you’re on the receiving end of the message because you’re the one they’re counting on to handle the crisis or die trying.

2. There’s no easy way to say this. Guess what? There’s no easy way to hear it, either. This can precede any number of events, from you’re about to get fired or your top employee is quitting on you to your biggest customer is bolting for your top competitor. It’s all bad.

3. Why don’t you take some time off? This particular question can either precede or follow some really unpleasant news, like one of your employees has filed a sexual harassment claim against you or “I’m afraid you’re burning out and I don’t want to have to fire your butt.”

4. All your meetings have been cancelled. This is where you say, “What do you mean all my meetings have been cancelled?” to which your admin replies, “What can I say, nobody wants to meet with you.” They could be customers, the media, employees, whatever, you’re now officially insignificant. Never a good thing.

5. Did you really just say that? Lots of people, especially public figures, have heard that one right after they think something that wasn’t supposed to actually come out of their mouths, usually while the mic is on, the tape is rolling, or the boss is on the receiving end.

6. I accidentally deleted it. It’s gone. You may not have pulled the trigger but the fact that you’re on the receiving end means that, whatever it was — probably a pitch or report you worked on for weeks — you’re the one who’s going to suffer because of someone else’s screw-up.

7. Do you really think your presentation went well? That’s when you ask, “Was it really that bad?” and the other person replies, “Um … sorry to tell you this, but you’ll be lucky if they don’t cancel your whole project.”

8. Can I have a word with you in private? Not that good news is always delivered in public, but even when someone wants to chat with you about something innocuous, he won’t say it like that. He’ll opt for something like, “Where can we talk?” or “You’re not gonna believe what I heard.”

9. Um … how long did it take you to do that? That’s usually followed by something like a recommendation that you do it over and way, way better if you want to keep your job.

10. You’ve been served. Not much you can do about this one, considering you’ve already blown it by answering yes to the magic question, Are you [your name]? Whether you’re served at work or not, it really doesn’t matter. You’re going to wish it never happened.

Did I forget to say that I’ve either said or heard every single one of these lines? In some cases, both. It’s true. And you know I’ve never been a process server.
