Workplace
Let's talk about the system
To whom it may concern: I am beyond frustrated with the system and the current state of the world today. The system is beyond screwed up and could use some significant changes. No one person can change the world, but it only takes one person to pave the way to make small changes. If enough small shifts happen, this could cause a wave effect that would hopefully lead to significant changes for the betterment of all.

Sexy People Eat Sardines. Top Story - October 2021.
I have never been able to tolerate canned tuna fish - the smell, the squelching sound it makes while it’s being mixed with anything else, the very concept of consuming it. The fact that this pulp fit only for animals is so frequently combined with my food nemesis - mayonnaise - only served to entrench this bias more deeply. While I still draw a line at eating shredded, watery meat from an aluminum can, I have made progress: today it is a symbolic boundary. I do regularly incorporate related sources of protein into my diet. And you might be surprised to learn that my gateway shelf-stable seafood was not the ubiquitous albacore, nor even canned or smoked salmon. It was whole sardines.

Asking for a promotion
Bethanee Harper October 5, 2021 To whom it concerns: I am writing this letter to ask in proper form for a position change for myself. I want a position change based on my performance and the professional quality of work that I offer. I feel that I bring a lot to the table, and I can improve on specific skills and learn new and different skills to earn and deserve a legit full-time position. The legit full-time job that I need pays a reasonable, consistent actual cost of living wage. I recently wrote a whole paper on how the system is messed up and requires many changes. One person cannot make changes, but it takes just one person to say something to get the ball rolling. I'm choosing to be that person.

5 Experiences with customers
Well I never intended to work on supermarkets since I had obtained university degree in another area of study to be able to work in administration of any office. However, to support my study and living, I started working in customer service and I ended up working in retail. As I am also a customer, I have no negative feelings to anybody and my experiences are entirely based upon incidents. Though I never intended, I am in love with this job and would like to share my few experiences with people.

On Writing Memoirs
In my writings, I've always put an element of myself into everything I wrote. My life experiences, my goals, dreams - my 'humanness's’ - is what has made me, in part, a good writer. I also think that this is one reason why most authors usually don't make it big until they are at least past 35 years old - I realize there are exceptions to this rule, but honestly, I think life experience is very crucial to make a good writer an exceptional one.

Mummy Cat
When you think of famous rivalries throughout history, you probably remember the epic ones, like Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird, Kanye vs. Drake, Coke vs Pepsi or even most recently, Popeyes vs Chick Filet. Competition in the workplace often turns nasty, especially when a worker is consumed with envy and fueled by salacious jealousy. Even the most virtuous employees have compromised their integrity in order to achieve the most coveted honor being named employee of the month. I know this firsthand, for when I was in college, my vendetta against a fellow bartender was so extreme, it compelled me to commit foul play and choosing to eradicate my competition ,Tonya Harding style. Seemingly foolproof, except my Nancy wasn’t just some local celebrity, it was our beloved mascot and Chelsea’s Café most adored staff member… MUMMY CAT.

A Content Writer's Journey of Losing and Regaining the Passion to Write
When I made up my mind to become a content writer, I was thrilled! I imagined myself in the shoes of Sidney Sheldon, Enid Blyton and Jeffrey Archer. I was daydreaming of researching, talking to people, understanding what they require and penning it down.

How My Boss's Cat Is Way Higher On The Chain Than Me. Top Story - September 2021.
April 1st Here, I'd have my own office, be my own person, have a real name, and not just "you there". Here, making coffee and copies will be a distant memory. Here, there will be no more humiliation. No longer an intern but an account executive-oh, the promissed land.

Why can't I just be a writer?
In my heart- I've always pictured myself as a story-teller...a 'writer'...but when I sit down and put my pen to paper, I never seem to be able to formulate anything worth being proud of. I have SO many ideas, and storylines, and plots, and characters just swimming around in my brain, but there's something stopping those imageries from reaching my fingertips.
