DP1 DIARY OF DIONDRA POSH
March 10, 2051 Monday
So diary today Monday I woke late
For work. I thought no problem I just
Call in. I called Mister Idris Moorah.
He said, Diondra I'll be brief. We're
Downsizing, you're laid off. I tried
To explain, I need the job. He said,
I'm sorry Diondra your check will
Include your severance pay plus
Any over time due you. You have
Been an exemplary employee miss
Posh. The line clicked dead.

Things were simple early in this
Day. Until my boyfriend Sheba called
I told him I lost my job, expecting
Sympathy instead he said, well
Dida things are hard everywhere
Now so I should just hang in. I'm
Not sure if that was sympathetic
Enough. Then he said, "lots of
People in my family lost their jobs
And his company laid off people too."
So I said, "Oh well I'm not worried
I'll just find another job computer
Software technology is a booming
Industry right. So I'm good. Are you
Worried Sheba?" He said, "no I'm
Not either. I got that bounce back
Just In case." I said, "alright. See you
Whenever." He said, "See you next
Week." I hung up.

This shouldn't really be a diary entry
Since nothing escalatious happened.
And most all business was closed
Including big stores and Supermarkets.
The corner grocery store was doing
Business and a our neighborhood
Bank was was open. I walked to
National Regulations Bankers Trust
And withdrew only $30 that combined
With my credit cards should be enough
To get me to Tuesday when I collect
My last freaking check! Need a job!
Came back home watch Netflix
Then went to bed.

Really Really use that! I don't Know

Motives yep. uehm. So yeah I'm going

He was just angry and didn't let me speak.
Who's SHIREF who's DAT! So stupid.
Me. I said Sheba sweetie DAT Is not
A word. So he laughed seriously and
Said to hell with that I'm moving in.

And said I'll be back with my stuff
Tomorrow! And slammed the door.
Then came back! I didn't have time
To lock the door. Sheba!" What the
Hell! Tell me about SHIREF! So I said
Oh he's so. That's my cousin and
I was just talking to him right before
You came. And that's the honest
Truth. I swear. And I held my hand
To my heart because I was being
Truthful.
March 30 Tuesday
No diary entry. No Sheba. I'm so
Suspicious. mm
March 31 Wednesday
Sheba called me and notified me
That he'd be moving in tomorrow!
I hope he doesn't have to much.
I don't need the clutter.
