“Ah! I got the job! I got the job! Quinn, I got the job!” -Amina Trevino
“Oh Gosh, I hope they don’t hate me. I have so much work to do. So much to do to prove myself. My journey in photography begins now.” - Amina Trevino
🎵I got work to do, I got a job baby….I got a job! baaby…🎵
WORK TO DO - Isley Brothers
There had been so much pressure on Amina in the past. She was trying to run her own business as a photographer. That sim life drama got in the way, and even with her cousin being around to help get the business off the ground and running, photography just hadn’t been lucrative enough for her. Five years ago she started working at this place ⬆️, and it felt like her career dreams came true. But just like anything else, it ran thin and became like everything else in her life.
“Amina”, …. “Yes?”….. “Amina”…..
Amina, “Yes Mr. White, what do you need? I heard you the first time you called.”
Mr. White, “Amina can we talk? Right here is good, don’t get up you’re fine.”
Amina, “Sure, what’s wrong?”
Mr. White, “Amina, what do you mean what’s wrong? You currently have on your desk a box of dunking donuts….12 donuts in that box…is that your snack?”
Mr. White, “A cup of coffee with a lit cigarette sitting on top of it, and Netflix open on a personal tablet….I ought to fire you right here right now, if you weren’t our best photographer I would. I would fire you.”
Amina, “Okay Mr. White what’s your point? I’ve seen you walk around with a lit cigarette on a many occasion before, why is this a hazard now? I’m not even smoking it…I haven’t got the chance to put it out yet.”
Mr. White, “[to himself almost] Im getting sick of this shit. [louder] ….Amina. Put the cigarette out now before I fire you. The point is, I don’t see your work. And lately you haven’t been productive at all. I see you. Yeah I see you. Everyday you come in with something, non work related. You open Netflix, facebook, YouTube, everything but the work portfolio you were assigned to.”
Amina, “Okay Mr. White! So! And! Becky and Maribeth over there on the other side of the race fence do the same thing every f****** day. Why do you come picking at me? AND why haven’t you said anything before? You just spy on me? If you want me to work on a specific project. Tell me. If you want me to get off my personal items, like you…?…tuh …then tell me. But what you will not do is come up to my desk and spring on me a termination that everyone else won’t receive. Im not your example. Im not your hamster. This is my job….my livelihood at stake.”
Becky and Maribeth, “Omg she’s so ratchet haha.”
Amina, “So no…I’m not putting out my cigarette, or turning off my Netflix. After this conversation, YOU are going to leave me tf alone and go upstairs to George’s office and get your brains blown out by his bulls*** mouth and continue to try to tyrannize the place. Good luck with that.”
And you know what else? Mr. White. Since you here, on your boss duties. I know this is your job and I don’t mean to get so personal, but since you are here, at my desk, in my personal space…..I have something to say.
Mr. White, “Amina, I asked you not to stand. You are making a scene please sit down. Are you wearing denim? Amina! Amina sit down.”
Watch your mouth Mr. White. I’m not sitting down. Im getting ready to close this donut box. Smoke the rest of my cigarette. Play my Netflix on volume 100, and quit. Yep. Thats right. All I’ve done for this place. And now you’re in here asking for a behavioral reprimand. Boy please! I’m walking away. I’m leaving. I’m going home to my son.
That’s right! Ive been wanting to steal all your clients anyway. And you know what! I don’t have to. I can get my own with my own talent. Good bye Mr. White. I hope to see you lurking sooner than later at my next gallery opening. Have nice day.
