Hang in there bro.
Working and lifting. I want a second job but I won't have any time to myself/for creative expression.
Book been on the back burner. My cousin graduates the 21st so she better be ready to knock this tape out. I'm ready to also make my own but nobody's gonna work for free.
No women. My eyes wander A LOT but I simply cannot bring myself to play the game.

lazy fba philly nikka,
Interviewing at other places since my boss and I aren't seeing eye to eye. I made a thread about him threatening me with a PIP just three months into the role
He hasn't done it yet and he says he sees improvement but it is really based on perception..Not necessarily my work. He's told me "you need to ask more questions" then says "don't ask the same question twice". Also told me to be more engaged in group discussion. How are you using this against me with my style and how am I supposed to operate in this role?
Of course I'm a senior Linux Engineer and the only black person on my team. Always seem that way in tech for me when chasing those high salaries.
Anyway I got interviews lined up. I got a series of final round interviews with one company. I just have to impress them with my technical knowledge.
Oh I've been dating more.
I've made a lengthy post about this very subject a while back. What he's telling you is that you need to play the game, aka "go above and beyond." Your "style" is irrelevant. You need to either get in gear and be superman, or bounce to another place that's going to ask the same of you. I got my PIP nine months in. Took me a month a turn it around and now i'm getting rave reviews all across the board. Adhering to a style will be the death of you. At work, especially in corp america, you have to be malleable. Black people don't have the luxury of saying "that's not me."
You certainly have a point but he has been abrasive towards me and his action items are general, nebulous, and frankly things he should have told me on day one as to what goals are and expectations. Given that I am pretty mid level in my career and have been to other companies and done well with my brand, I'm going to have to believe that he doesn't like my work or doesn't like me. I haven't had bad work so I'm going to have to say he doesn't like ME.
How is he going to say he's going to PIP me three months into a job? Isn't that generally the adjustment period? I've been interviewing with other companies and they have told me that they expect someone to be "productive" six months in.
I get approached with new roles on a weekly basis and life is too short to be in a company that is potentially toxic. I get it..no place is perfect and you have to play the game though.

My portrait photography journey's been going good. I might have a connect to do some photography for this little arena league football team. Hoping that since it's warming up I get more portrait clients. I've really been enjoying my 2017.
