The Little Black Book
The Little Black Book What a Difference a Day Makes Morning Being up early in the morning before any polite person would even dream of sending a text or making a call is the time Gillian liked the best. At 4:30 in the morning she no longer feels the panic that was rising up to choke her yesterday. Bills rolling in, money not. In the morning things look so much better. She cleans the house and room by room feels some relief as she restores a feeling of order. It helps to feel in control of something, even if it’s just the dirty dishes, making the bed and doing some laundry.

The Real Tales of an Intern Part 5
“Mum, I am home.” “How was your first call?” “Memorable mum, we’ll talk about it later. I have a zoom call now.” With that, Sam blew off her mum and went to her room. On her way from the movie theatre, she had been ‘concocting’ an effective way to avoid the conversation. The next thing was to make sure that zoom call happened. If things went according to plan, the call would last long enough for her mum to get busy with something else.

The Worst Day I've Ever Had At Work
I am a railroad employee, and I'm trained as both a conductor and an engineer. For those of you that don't know, an engineer is the person who controls the train, while a conductor is the person who has to be outside taking care of all the physical work.

Confessions of a Factory Worker

A Legendary Reason
My name is Oluwaseun Adeyemi. My father is Nigerian and my mother is African American. I was born in Oakland, California but later moved to an affluential neighborhood in Green Valley (Fairfield), California. I have one brother and one sister. I also have a bonus sister who is my first cousin, my parents legally adopter her when I was 15 years old. I saw the legal system at a very early age. My brother suffered from mental illness and as a result, was arrested several times throughout my childhood. I recall visiting him in jails and mental health facilities for most of my life. Not one time did he ever have effective legal counsel. This was my first glimpse of how the law fails people. I never understood why mentally ill were incarcerated instead of hospitalized.

The Real Tales of an Intern Part 4
“Phew what a call. Chad didn’t lie to me.” “Who is Chad?” “He is a senior colleague. He had asked me to do my internship elsewhere.” “Did he have options for you?” “Great question; we know how scarce internship spots are. I couldn’t heed his advice on the spot.” “See Sam, this place has its challenges, yes. Always apply yourself and you’ll be fine. Remember, perspective matters a great deal.” “Are you sure you are an intern like me? You sound like a supervisor.” Fabian laughed at Sam’s comment as they walked into the ward.
