I've had a lot of bad moments at work but none of them surpass the one from today. I had called a lady up to get clarification on information she had reported to me. Our phone conversation started off with questions here and there and then not too long into it, my clients started to haha and tell me how I didn't know how to do my job. I didn't say much to that because it's something I'm used to hearing a lot. Anyways. that mob nceeb went off blabbing about shiat some more. I started to zone out. Anyways, when I stopped responding and waited for her to shut up, she says this to me, "You freaken gook!" and hung up. I was so shocked and hurt by this personal attack that I sat there trying to hold back my tears. Unfortunately I ended up shedding a few drops of tears. NEVER in my entire life has anyone ever called me that term before. I can't believe this poor ass trailer trash white lady would say such things to me. Already emailed my supervisor requesting to remove this client out from my caseload because I refuse to serve her anymore.
Today's incident reminded me that no matter how I try to assimilate and belong here, whites will always see me differently. A lot of them probably keep a hush hush with their personal ignorant views but for those who run their mouths....GOSH! I really hope bad luck follows them like a shadow that will never disappear.
