You ever have 1 of those weeks where you do a whole bunch of sh*t, but feel like you didn’t really get all that much done? Yeah, that was this week for me. All the calendaring, scheduling, and to-do listing couldn’t save me from the tsunami of interviews, paperwork, MS Word stunting, and reports that engulfed my life. It was all work and no play which really made me feel like a dull boy — not to be confused with dough boy. Anyways…
Eff Stephen Covey for forcing me to evaluate myself and think about my circumstances. The realization that you have so much more control over life than you’ve been telling yourself for years is a powerful one. Dude got me reflecting and introspecting on the A-train to and from work. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you pick up 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. It will cause a genuine paradigm shift; or at the least, some internal turmoil that has nothing to do with an upset stomach.
Eff this gift I’ve been making for a co-worker’s anniversary and having to decorate her cube on Thursday night. The person whose help I really needed this week is on vacation visiting “my people” in Africa and having the time of her life. No hate here. She earned it. That doesn’t mitigate the fact that this project that’s taken me no less than 7 hours (and I’m still not done) would have been knocked off by her in 45 minutes to an hour. So many lessons learned and so many days of my life shaved off due to stress. But I know that when this is done I’ll be able to look back at this experience and be proud of what I created. Sh*t, I’ll even be able to talk about it in a future interview or something.
Eff the woman that lives above me. Not literally. She’s a helluva lot older and looks like she eats a lot of polk-n-beans and has a messy apartment. I know she’s got a roach infestation up there and I don’t wanna have to patch up any more cracks, crevices, and electrical outlets without plates because creatures are finding their way to Hotel Slimshouse. I am clean. I am civilized. Don’t bring that bullshiggidy around here.
Eff how much I’ve fallen behind this week in anything that’s not day gig related.
Eff going to bed early then waking up late and getting even further behind at work.
Eff this writing slump that I’ve been going through. I need to write myself out of it. I will write myself out of it. I shall write myself out of it!
Eff the Detroit Tigers. Poach ‘em all.
Eff it being the beginning of Northface season.
That is all. Have a great effing weekend.
Looking forward to 530pm on Friday,
Slimothy Turner-Jahosafat

EFF the prosecutor in my courtroom. It isn’t my fault that you are a fat whale and you hate me because I am not. Stop trying me before I have to knock your simple ass out! The next time you throw a piece of paper at me I am going to throw a punch at you.
EFF the judge in my courtroom. You condescending female dog! Maybe your children are special needs because karma is a female dog just like you! I can’t wait until someone runs against your crazy ass next election.
Eff my friend for not telling me until AFTER my amazing first date that she used to the man who took me on the date… Damnit now I have to end it with this man who had great potential.
Eff my new rooomate for keeping the house on freezing, eating my food, and NEVER unloading the damn dishwasher. I swear to God if I wasn’t trying to save up for my own house I would move back to my old apartment.
Eff my bestie for becoming a baby mama. Now I have NO ONE to kick it with. You were my roll dog and now I am rolling solo and it sucks
Eff my ex-male bestie for getting married and treating me like one of his exes. We never dated. We have been best friends since you were in the 8th grade but now that your wife doesn’t like it you come to my city and don’t even effing call me? You better not call me to handle your divorce!
Eff these m’effing banks for charging fees for every damn thing. I promise I will not pay you for a debit card. I promise I am “going green” and will operate on a cash only basis before I give you an effing nickel to use my own damn debit card.
Eff Delta Airlines, American Airlines , Airtran and JetBlue. Really not one of you can fly from Atlanta to Barbados for a reasonable price? WTF I know I am not the only bajan in the A and I need to get home for xmas you pricks. Hartsfield Jackson is like the busiest airport in the world with multiple daily flights every damn where EXCEPT Barbados ughhh?
Eff my home by the sea. I am coming back for the 1st homecoming in about 7years and yall aint having no alumni cabaret? Where dey do that at? I really might just have an Airtran credit with that kind of foolishness.
Eff Apple for coming out with a 4s instead of a 5. That’s some bullish. I promise if I get the 4s and they drop the 5 in less than a year, I will take out at least one Apple Store somewhere
Whoooosahhhhh thank you Slim!

So I’m going to try this:
Eff lady luck, I get absolutely no love from her; i mean I’d like an easy life too.
Eff treacherous, callous, horrible people all over the world
Eff career limbo…
ok that’s all the ‘effs’ i can say at a time *sigh*
Btw this past week, I picked up Covey’s 7 habits of highly effective people off my shelf where it’s been chilling – time for a do-over because the man has great insight.
Good move on picking that book up off the shelf! It’s timeless!
Eff the fact that I’ve lived in 3 states so far this year. My family is sick of having to move my stuff, so hopefully I’ll like this place.
Eff me driving 5 hours after an 8 hour word day, only to get to the condo that I’m abandoning and realize that I’m starving and I have no food.
Eff football season again. You didn’t get the job done last time.
3 states in 1 year? That’s aggressive. Yikes.
Yea but they’re neighboring states: MS, TN, & now AL. So maybe it’s not so bad?
Eff me for having to look up “neighboring” on dictionary.com to make sure it’s actually a word. I’ve gotten so stupid since grad school.
Eff this new job that I have been on for only 7 weeks, but have to work 12 hours everyday, and I’m STILL behind….
Eff that I have had to say “Eff It” to my new employer, and put in my resignation, just to try to maintain my sanity and emotional health. Can’t do this ish anymore!!!…..
Eff this economy that is probably going to have my a$$ in the soup line after working out my notice…
Eff Sallie Mae for having her boot on my neck. She should have never given me all that student loan money to complete my doctorate and actually expect me to be able to pay it back in this economy. That girl is a cruel mistress!!!…
Eff having a doctorate and hoping I can manage to get hired on at The Gap for the holiday season….
Eff having only recently discovered this blog. I could have been effing stuff a long time ago…
Eff the super long meeting I was in yesterday. That meeting drained me so I could not comment until today.

Eff the fact that I do not have a backup plan. Mistake #1. NEVER AGAIN
Eff yo couch.
