I've discovered that I spend a lot of time answering questions. Too much, in fact. "Are you going to have another baby? Don't you want a boy? Why does your husband "make" you work? What race do you consider yourself? How can you possibly like New York? Is New Jersey really like the Jersey Shore? Why do you still have an accent and you've been in LA like...totally forever? Why are you wearing a wig?
That last question was brought up at Elat Market, a Kosher supermarket in LA. I wasn't wearing a wig. It was my own hair but suppose I WAS? There are many reasons to wear wigs and not all are related to religion.
Needless to say I wish people would mind their own business but they can't.
I have started to get my "Jersey" on. That's not always pleasant but the time has come...I can't answer any more questions. I'm tired of answering questions and I'm tired of people minding my business!
Case in point: The Churchill Condominium is really a trip as EVERYBODY wants to mind my business and I am truly not that interesting of a person. We have a manager who works here who has decided to tell all my business in front of a bookkeeper who I have not spoken to since she "congratulated" me on the death of my mother in law. (May she rest in peace.) The place is a zoo! I have a janitor who spends HOURS in my hallway...nothing is clean. He went through my garbage once and admitted that he took some photos out that I had thrown out...photos of ME! Yes my clothes were on but makeup and hair were NOT together and I got spooked but it was too late. I was already a Resident.
Back to the Manager...she is an employee. That means she works for me, right? Not in her mind. I asked her for a Work Order sheet and she told me that people who are behind in Homeowner's Dues don't get work done in their apartment. Duh? We have a pool with no water, we have sleeping front desk people and valets which I've Tweeted and this woman has the audacity to tell MY business in front of the bookkeeper, receptionist and "engineer" janitor. I'm not fond of the bookkeeper (since she made that remark to me,) and I can tell you that the month of March is NOT over so I'm NOT behind. This COLUMN is behind!
WHEW! That's off my shoulders and I'm telling you that now in my show "James and Sunda" we have a segment called "Everybody's Business" and it's made me aware of how people don't mind their business! I hope you all watch the show and listen to the horror stories of how people tell other people's business and remember to think twice when you're asking a question. I once asked a woman when she was "due" and she was NOT pregnant but I never made that mistake, again.
I'm going to finish my business! That's reaching out to all of my VJ "Hoodzpah!" fans and say I LOVE YOU! YOU know my business because I choose to tell it like it is...and like it was! Now...time for a cup of "cawfee!"
