The Life of a Prostitute

[Lights]

I worked at a department store, and thought that was bad. But working at a factory, doing the simplest (most boring, mind-disturbing) job was the worst experience of my life, and it's only been 4 days so far. First day I was new, second day was interesting, third it was getting tiring, and the 4th day was just plain out horrifying.

I am glad I worked at the factory, since it rejuvenate my desires once again to become the filthy rich and free from this lifestyle. I see these young guys and thought to myself, "What the hell..." I can tell they are just plain out stupid, and I don't plan on prostituting myself much longer.

I'll sell my gold necklace, if I am that desperate, since I have opportunities in my life. This cycle begins at home, you have stupid parents, which leads to stupid kids, and repeat. Older people work there too, and they are dumb as bricks. I am doing this to look attractive, airplane ticket...

I am too good looking for this, too intelligent for this, too whatever for this. Just so you have the statistics it's mostly African American people, with white men, and a few Asian men. Women are only 10% of the crowd, since it's a lot of manual labor. I am the most attractive woman in that building.

You want to rejuvenate yourself, work at an assembly line doing this.

And I never seen so many short men in my life (the statistics are true, shorter men make less money). And the head manager is a 6'1 white male. Statistics, statistics.. It looks like slavery from 1800s.

Uh.....anyone care to share?

I know what you mean, I just don't like how you put it. You have a pretty condescending tone, judging people based on race and the type of job they have. Who's to say they don't have a fulfilled life outside of work? Maybe they're happier than you as we speak. People aren't their jobs.

That's good to hear you are hungry for something greater than you currently have. All of us here are hungry, but there's no need to belittle people you think are worse off than you. Don't assume that just b/c someone works at an assembly line they're stupid. Maybe that's all they need to support their lifestyle. Maybe it allows them to be stress free while still provide their family.

I am too good looking for this

Haha that was funny

I agree. Bringing race into this is flat out ignorant. She claims that most of her co-workers are stupid, then points out that most of them are African-American. Her boss is a tall white male; therefore he must be smart and fit to lead.

She is supposedly too good looking for this job, as if only ugly people are fit to do crap jobs. Her whole world view is based on superficial observations. She needs to grow up and realize that you can't judge people unless you've walked a mile in their shoes, and that humans deserve to be treated with respect regardless of their net worth or occupation.

Actually he cannot manage at all, since he's too quiet, and 6'1 is definitely not that tall but tall enough. The white men that work there are not attractive and short, and the white women that work there are husky muscular with mustaches. I wasn't trying to be racist, but they are just observations, take it for what it is. Have you worked at an assembly line before?

If you worked at this job more than 2 days, I bet you would assume the same things. It's a tough job, but the only thing tough about it is the dumbness of the job and the stupidity of the people. I asked co-workers who seemed to think about how they feel about their dumb co-workers, and they say that they are slaves. It doesn't match my skills, thankfully I am out by July 1st to go with the CEO who will train me for his corporation; like I said in my other threads.

 

[Lights]

And I can honestly say they are dumb, at least a big majority. I was already moved to a place where it takes "higher thinking skills" in the factory. I'm completely honest about these people, but I say there is 1 out of every 100 people is smart. But to me, if you're in a factory after the age of say 25 years old, then you must be stupid. Stupid people do not find opportunities, and smart people do. Ebonics, slang, and profanity is common here.

When a big majority speak like this, "Ain't gettin' no money workin' in this big ol' factory. Gonna buy me some chicken wings, hey you want some deep' frie' chicken"

"Ermmm going to smoke a cigerrette. My wife at home don't put out" a short blonde guy.

"Got 4 kids, and bills to pay" (from a young guy with no education)

Oh, I could write a novel about these people. It's pure comedy.

 

[mrhahn]

Guess you missed the point of our posts. I hope judging people works out for you.

The OP is the type of person I just fantisizing headbutting in the nose when they go on their judgmental rants.

Every person has their place and every place has their person.

BTW, for someone with great looks and who is far more intelligent than everyone in the building you might want to ponder this:

Everyone has what they already deserve.

You're the product of how great you REALLY ARE.

Not how deluded you are.

 

[Bozigian]

Well Lights.

Since you say you are soo good looking

-why not go try out for modeling?
-why not go work for hooters?


Do you think the forces in life will make you rich just because you have good looks?

Its ironic, a successful businesswoman might call you "stupid" or "dumb" for being so racial in your tone of voice.

I could write a novel about people like you, sell it on Amazon, and make money.
I will title it, "The b!tch "

I think this is a joke thread.

O . . . K . . . .

Let me chime in from a different perspective-- someone who grew up in an assembly line town (Detroit), and spent my childhood meeting folks described by Lights.

I could talk about race, but honestly-- I don't think that's relevant. Detroit has a large African American population, so you will see blacks on the assembly lines, but you'll also see plenty of other races.

You tend to see men, b/c it is hard work. I don't mean that as a slight to any woman. Men tend to have more muscle mass then women, and the women I knew who worked the assembly lines were STRONG-- most of them could have held their own in a bar fight (not that they would have been in one). Many of the assembly line jobs are the equivalent of constant exercise, 4-7 hours a day. That's a helluva workout, for a man-- or a woman.

RE: Managers. Yep, plenty of them are white. But I'd say more of them are just a bit older-- since they worked their way up from the 'line. I could point out that I didn't know any women who managed a bunch of guys on the line back then-- but this was 30+ years ago (I turn 50 this year)-- and that was a different time. Men have learned (a tiny little bit) how to respect women since then. Not a lot-- but a tiny bit. So there may be women assembly line bosses-- I don't have any recent experience to say.

Regarding having no ambition-- I think this is the core of what Lights is/was trying to say. We've all talked about this on these forums, in one form or another: Hanging around people w/low or no ambition is a drag.

It's a dream killer.

And it's not a good way to move ahead.

So Lights is doing what we all have done (or aspire to do): She's getting out. And learning the ropes from someone in upper level management.

I applaud that decision, and hope it takes you far, Lights. At the very least, it will be part of your overall learning experience.

********

OK, that's what I wanted to say to the other posters in this thread.

Now, to get to what I wanted to say to Lights:

This is a forum w/lots of folks, from all kinds of backgrounds.

Different colors, flavors, and ages.

Some have been unfairly judged by the color of their skin-- or height-- or gender.

Others here have been called "stupid" or ignorant b/c of learning disabilities that were not addressed, or even identified, in school.

So Lights, it's real possible that when you came here to find camaraderie, and vent-- what you found instead is some folks on these forums who may fall into the categories/types you mention-- and who are NOT lazy/stupid/no ambition, etc.

They just might be different, that's all.

I think that's the point Mr Hahn was trying to make-- it's not what you're saying-- it's how you're saying it.

And how you see it.

*******

So think of the above responses as tough love from some business folks.

If you go out in the world, and talk about people-- ANY people-- the way you do in your first post, you will not be held in high esteem in most business settings. That's b/c if you aspire to be a CEO, or business owner-- THESE PEOPLE YOU DESCRIBE IN YOUR FIRST POST ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE WORKING FOR YOU.

Learn to show them some respect-- even if they choose to live their lives in ways very different than yours.

That's key, to both business-- and personal-- success.

-Russ H.

^ Thanks,

The assembly line is in the outskirts of Detroit in all honesty, so I guess you would understand the dynamics of such of place. They were just happening to be hiring and I need the extra $1000 before I move away, so it's more or less, "Get a job - any job" I could had went to a deli, but I like working 12 hr-3 day shifts since it gives me the whole week off. And it's at night.

Intrepid, this is not a big deal to me, and I am exactly where I want to be right now. July I am moving away. I wasn't ranting, it's only here to motivate others. Motivational story I guess I was trying to describe.

It may come as a shock to our original poster, but these people at the factory are probably more similar to her than she realizes. Everyone does the best they know how to do... she works there too, doesn't she? The Fastlane isn't for everyone - as it was correctly stated previously: "Every person has their place and every place has their person." But even more importantly, how does she know that some of these people don't go home and work on their part-time business after work? She doesn't.

As an aside, I would much rather see someone working at a manual labor job than standing around complaining... There's no shame whatsoever in hard work.

They may have second jobs, but we could say that about anyone, about their part-time business.

There's shame in this type of work, and I talk to them about it. The shame comes when they are pass 30 with no education. They feel like it's low-paying, slavery, and they don't really like their job at all.

I only work there because I found it off the internet, but I don't have much similarity to them, except maybe I like the shifts and saying "I am working". And I am a strong person who drinks protein shakes, so lifting 50 lbs is not a big deal to me.

But I am similar to all types of people at the same time. I came from a poor city, moved to a suburb with richer people, worked in a rich suburb/work in Detroit. I don't have problems with people when I communicate with them, since most if not all people like me. It's just I am more honest on forums, and talk with details here.

Lights, I take it you are fairly young and I will give you the benefit of doubt with all the stereotypes you have about people. The way you explained your job doesn't motivate anyone positively. It just upsets people and you are just pushing others away from you that you may want help from. I bet that some of the people in this forum will now be hesitate to give you any advice or suggestions. I understand what you are trying to say but you need to "think before you speak" and choose your words wisely.

 

[Bozigian]

Yeah and just because you say you are pretty doesnt mean you are going to have a good job.

Why not try a Hooters nearby since you are 'pretty'

Being pretty does not mean you are successful.


I met this woman online at a chatroom and she went off at me. But I told her that she already was successful. She moved constantly and she grew up rough, now she is at a Private university studying medical research (cancer specifically). Now thats successful

This post is mainly addressed to Lights but also to any other young women who think the way that she does. I see plenty of beautiful young women who work at low paying jobs all the time, like grocery stores, McDonalds, etc. There's only a few ways that you could make money from your looks:

1) Become a model: There's a height requirement and lots of competition to become one.

2) Become a gold digger: Lots of competition with this one too and even if you succeeded, you would still be dependent on someone else for your well being, rather than becoming independent by starting your own business.

3) Become a stripper or prostitute: Virtually no competition or barrier to entry here as long as you look somewhat decent. But, I don't need to tell you that this isn't something you should aspire to become.

4) Sleep with your boss and get promoted: Not something that you'd want to do either if you wish to maintain your dignity and self respect.


The lesson that I'd impart is to use your brain instead of your looks to reach your goals. After all, beauty fades.

Well, looks alone. Those who know how to use their looks in the business world are at a great advantage, b/c like it or not, sex sells, consciously or subconsciously.

Yes, that's true. For most jobs, it's a fact that attractive people are more likely to get hired and promoted than unattractive people, but they still need to know what they're doing.

That's the great thing about entrepreneurship; it doesn't matter what your race, gender, or level of attractiveness are, since you're not relying on anyone else to give you handouts; if people like the product you build you will succeed, if not you will fail.

I think me saying "I am too goodlooking for this" is taken too literal. I am just saying that because I work at a man's job lifting 50 lb item, using screw drivers, using hammers to remove knobs, using lifts, sweating in 90 degrees temperature, and I look attractive while doing it. And it's mostly men who work there with hard-looking women who know what they are doing (but only 10% are women). Men who done this for their livelihood and who are strong. McDonalds and other places is not a factory job. That's like working at Hilton Hotel compare to this.

I doubt most office-working men can do what I can do, and do it well, and do it for 12 hrs. I take pride in the fact that I tougher than most men, but not true pride, but just a pompous attitude.

I am not using my looks to get promoted, or using sex appeal to get a job. But I do use my looks when it comes to relationships, but who doesn't?
