Another day at this job that I used to love but now I just like it. I run the Marketing Division over at W & J Marketing, in Dallas. The owner frustrates me sometimes and is always second guessing herself. She's smart and enthusiastic about the projects the firm gets and somehow always knows what the client wants. I wish that sometimes she would just take it easy and stop being so hard on herself. Wait, I know what you're thinking right now. Why am I still here if it's so bad right? You guessed it. I'm the owner, well co-owner. My best friend and I have been running this place for five years. 

We started in college, working in our dorms helping students out with our free marketing plans for their businesses. We did well with three of our friends' brands and that's when we gained the balls to go for it. I'm Sierra Washington by the way and my best friend is Kelly Johnson.

I don't know what I would do without Kelly. She's been in my life since high school and has been involved in every boyfriend relationship. Kelly is married now and doesn't hang out much like we used to. I'm still getting used to the changes of our friendship. I guess that's why I love working with her because for me I get to spend twelve-hour days with my bestie. I'm not sure if she feels the same way especially since she has dick waiting at home for her every night. Can't tell you when last I had some. Like a good one. 

My last boyfriend was not a bad guy at all, but the timing was all wrong for us. We were together for two years and I thought he was the one. He took a big job in New York and asked me to go with him. I declined his invitation because I had just started my business and I needed to focus on getting it to where it is now. I didn't want to stand in the way of his opportunity, and he felt the same way for me. Anyway, his job did not turn out the way he wanted, and he ended up going back to television. He's a sports commentator now and he's very good at it. He lives in Los Angeles, so maybe it was never meant to be, and I was not going to pick up and move to go after a guy.
