say something...

Hey folks, I'm sorry I've been MIA lately.

So this post today is devoted to saying something.

Check this out.
If you have the opportunity for Bellini's blessed hands to touch your resume, performance review write-up, etc. good things happen. Besides sprucing your language up to provide a more detailed understanding of your individual contributions, or a receiving a coveted call from HR providing a firm offer, and I could go on... So, there was a co-worker who felt undervalued and overworked. Not a good combination. So, a few Fridays ago, the weather was poor and she was trying to hike up I-95 before rush hour, and submit her resume to a prospective employer. So Bellini, asked how she could help. And since she's from NY, let's call her Brooklyn. Brooklyn hands me a hard copy of resume, job description, and career highlights and a soft copy of the same documents.

Bellini, just happen to have an afternoon telecon for the duration of the day. And Bellini can multi-task. So I revise, edit, and upgrade all documents. Unbeknownst to me, Brooklyn forwarded all my documents to prospective employer without even reviewing my deliverables, let alone proofreading. But ya know a professional shouldn't be caught dead with typos. Fast forward 2 weeks ago, Brooklyn was offered the job with elastic career potential in a recession. HOLLA!

Now Bellini has another colleague that whose work activity is being usurped from her and is sittin' idle. In some offices, sittin' idle just doesn't look good recession or no recession. Ironically enough, this colleague - we'll call her Lil'Bo Peep, was supposed to in my office. Where there is plenty of work to be had. When Lil'Bo Peep first came on board, I handed her my card and invited her to holla at me anytime. Do ya know had Lil'Bo Peep informed me of her background - her skill set would be a tremendous asset in my office- I would have her hooked her up with substantive work and positioned her to be placed back in my office. But noooooo, Lil'Bo Peep chooses to say nothing. I was enlightened about her skill set from a high-level senior employee in a roundabout way. And now, an administrative/support staff of the programmatic offices is leaving. And guess who management got to take the bait - Lil'Bo STUPID Peep. Girl, where is your brain? Your career is moving backwards!!! Do you think management could have gotten Bellini to take the bait, do you think management even identified Bellini as a sucker?

And Lil'Bo Peep is all chirpy like shit is good. But you know to each their own.
All she had to do was say something!

cheers,

Bellini

naivete is bliss

celebritydom is an interesting phenomenon of the 19th century. i mean don't quote me on it, i just think it is. i have always been the one to hold out for that minority of opinion contrary to others beliefs.

case in point

i would have bet my life that ev'ry thing was platonic between Jay and B during their 'Crazy in Love' video. I had to tell my bestfriend they have to sell the chemistry. She was quick to say, "naw uhh Bellini, B's shakin' is a lil' extra. you ain't doing all that unless you feelin' him." Then the BET awards rolled around and they performed their song and Jay pats her rump, and i had a hard time defending such gesture and figure it was showmanship.

or how bout, Chris and Rihanna? I didn't believe he hit her let alone breathed on her... until that damn pic came out. I still wonder had that pic never leaked, what would be the dynamics of their relationship now.

or didn't you think Jilly from philly was going to be with Mr. E Flat forever... never breakup? and although jilly is from philly, i just didn't think she'd ever express the philly in her on a record. and then she went center right of previous albums. lettin' folks know you can hate on me now. and i had shared with Courvoisier and co. that to see jilly from philly perform that song live is mind blowin', you just have to love that song upon jilly singin' live. and if you've ever been to jilly's concert where she sings 'My Love' where she lets you know she's been the other woman and Bellini gasps, i have a hard time digesting that... not jilly from philly - say it ain't so...

do ya remember kobegate? i was fooled thinkin' his ass had a squeaky clean image. i rooted for his ass too-- cussin' Colorado out, wishin' they'd leave him alone. and hoping somebody would smack that girl. oh my, was i ever so wrong i was young back then.

and although, never really cared for Tiger - who knew he had it in him to be wildin' out and such. he should just be ashamed of himself. and i can't believe ima say it-but i feel bad for Elin. This was not the life she agreed to- i think. and do you think Tiger is sorry or just sorry he got caught?

In 2010, i'll continue to live by the creed seein' is believin', hoping that i've been overexposed to celebrity shock vale and won't be amused by their antics anymore.

cheers,

Bellini

P.S. Folks Bellini will be traveling - so this is my last post until after 2010. Be safe and may God Bless. Happy New Year!!!
