>Um, About That Raise…Nevermind.

>If you're not self-employed, you might want to check your boss's mood before you query him/her about that increase in pay you so desperately need:
A financially strapped owner of a car dealership told authorities he was under stress when he killed two employees because they kept asking for pay raises, police said Tuesday.
Rolandas Milinavicius* was charged in the shooting deaths of Inga Contreras, 25, and Martynas Simokaitis, 28. All three are from the eastern European nation of Lithuania but had been living in Atlanta, authorities said.
Yikes!!! That's some harsh shit. Wonder what he'd do to his wife if she happened to have a headache one night. First employees were going postal, and now bosses are, too. Pretty soon, bulletproof vests are going to be regulation office attire.
*Ten dollars if you can say his name three times real fast.

>The world is a mess. People have no patience and tolerance anymore. They think killing is the answer to everything.

>there…I said the name three time fast.keep the ten spot, but I will need a drink of water after doing so.another classic example of "when it keeping it real goes wrong. I hate that this happened to the employees and it is a sad sad state of mind to snap over someone asking for a raise.wow.

>When I first heard this I was like…what is this world coming to. He could have just fired the folks…he didn't have to kill them.

I'm the author of six novels, one nonfiction book, a novella, a kerfuffle of short stories, and some other stuff, including ghostwriting some NYT bestsellers. I'm an investigative journalist and also write and produce for film and television, in addition to appearing in front of the camera on occasion. I'm a graduate of the University of Florida (Go, Gators!!!) with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. ("skeeeeeeee-wee!")
And yes, Lolita Files is my real name. There are plenty of my family members, friends, colleagues, and associates who can corroborate this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mom named me after the Kubrick movie based on Nabokov's book, even though she hadn't seen or read either. Her entire life, she had no idea the name "Lolita" had such heavy sexual overtones. Thanks, mom!!! 🙃
And so, name notwithstanding, still, I rise!!! (It does make for an awesome writer's name, though, doesn't it?)
