Training Day 4 I love the Irish so much They're the only white people who got colonized and were refugees But more than that when the States wanted them to fight Mexico They were like, "fiiine" And then they met the Mexicans and said "nah we like them" AND SWITCHED SIDES Whenever I hear their politicians talk about the Middle East, they always know who is hurt and who needs help They speak very beautifully Also, they had to live on only potato They embraced the potato And I love potatoes Also, all my black friends have had really good experiences as tourists there There's a list you know, places they don't recommend black tourists to travel to (they're HORRIBLE in Italy for example) --- I found microwaveable tupperwaaare and Hassan lent me his magic thermos thing that keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot We all had breakfast together Well breakfast for me, brunch for Hassan and lunch for Baba Sometimes when world news is bad Baba softens up Tentative peace deal 😄 --- I have a couple more boring courses I finished the one about data privacy, and another one that says corruption is bad mmkay Today I learn about "going green" 🙄 A European multinational telling their underpaid Global South outsourced labor (in countries that USED to have largely agricultural economies) that they need to care about climate change via corporate animation is a bit annoying We used to export expensive cotton Now we import wheat Yesterday I learned that the supervisors make five times more than what we make That's more than what my brother makes And Hassan has a job job, tech something real job No wonder people are bribing and sleeping their way up Oh I came out to my Eritrean princess friiieeend, we'll call her Jesse I felt safe We both gravitated to the extremely camp new trainee guy I've established myself as group tante People ask me for gum, tissues and hugs The guys relax-- they don't try to be cool around me like in front of the baby girls 😄 I feel like Ms. Sarah, the teacher again It's cute, I feel warm and fuzzy I think/hope that will counter the mean people swearing at me/UPS I will probably cry for the first month but I think I can do the job |
