Rookie & Tiamia
Twenty-nine years ago my parents had to have another child because my brother Donald aka Microwave P was driving them nuts. So after some colt 45 and Spanish fly my dad gave my mother the night of her life. the world was introduced to me Tiamia ( Rookie) Owens. Yes today is my birthday and for what ever reason I'm happy. I have not been happy over my birthday for the past two years. For all that are close to me know that both my parents died right after my birthday. They died a little over a month apart so celebrating my birthday has always been hard. FlyingHigh is one of my closes friends on the planet. Last week she gave me some great advice about being myself and not being afraid to let my hair down. She was right. I hate when she is right. I remember a point in my life where I was the biggest bitch around. No I'm not talking about size, but my attitude. I'm a 29 year old Jr. Vp of marketing and about 3 years ago I had to fire a manager. Boy did he rip my ass on his way out the door. No one has ever talked to me like that before, but the crazy part....he was right. I canceled one of the employees 50th birthday party at work just because I was not invited. Now i think back..how fucked up a decision was that? I really did some cold shit to people. It took that one manager I fired to hand me my ass for me to see how evil I was.
From that point on I have been doing my best to be nice to people. Flyinghigh can cosign that for me. So now my work attitude was moving in the right path but my personal life was a hot mess. My family is divided and there is no hiding that. Mircowave P aka Donald, Myself and my little sister Dana are the only children my parents had...that we knew of. After my dad died we found out he has another son that is older than me. We met him and he seems cool enough but my brother was not having that. For the past 10 years I have always been the one trying to keep both side of my family together. All this time I was worrying about my family...it was killing my personal life. I use to date or try to date. My dad was one of them fathers that didn't want his girls to depend on any man in life. So as a little girl I helped change a car tire, go to junk yards, and clean up snow. Just to name a few things. As an adult this has carried over and was causing major problems. After I got out of college my first job was with a small marketing company. they offered me $85k right out of school. this also didn't help my personal life because I felt as if I didn't need anyone for anything. Every time I dated a guy he would never make the cut for a second date. Me being the shallow person I USE to be. I started dating guys that I can fix up. like a project that would keep me busy and sexual happy. to be honest that worked for over 8 years.
In the long run I got my heart broken and I'm still single with my twins. I don't know how my dad would take it if he was still alive on how his grand-daughters came to life. I think about that a lot. i know he would be happy they here but would he approve of the method. Another thing I did was have two twin girls with out a man. Well sort of, but you know Alicia & Ava story. I let flyinghigh name Ava and thats why she the bad one of the two...lol
Sorry I was getting off track. So today is my birthday and I just came back to work from being suspended. My first run-in with Corporate America aka the white man. Here is the quick version of the story. Like I said im a Jr Vp of Marketing for an Airline company. I was offered a promotion that would have doubled my salary, but would require me to move to NYC. This job would have also moved me to a full VP. Everything sounded good but it would require too much time away from my kids and being a new mother I not ready for that yet. Plus i'm happy with what I make and what I do. Well the company just knew I was going to take the promotion and hired another Jr Vp of Marketing. Now that I turned it down here they are with two Jr Vp's for one department. So they came back to me and offered another $30k to take the job. Again I turned it down. Well somebody higher than me got pissed and made the new Jr Vp a Senior Jr Vp of Marketing...aka my new boss. Yes he has been making my job a living hell.
he is a white male in his early 50's and here I am this sexy booty out to here 29yr old black female and we have been hitting head everyday. last friday the old tiamia came out and I let his ass have it. We were both suspended until today. I had my welcome back to work meeting and was told I'm a great asset to the company ect ect ect
I said enough but i can say more. I'm a talker but my employees are having a birthday breakfast for me So I must run. thank you for reading and letting me express myself on my special day. catch you in the group, facebook and twitter today. It my birthday
