LIfe after Overstock. . .

January 8th 2008

So I am sitting at my desk on a lovely Monday morning minding my own business and bustin out a ton of work as usual. . . And all of a sudden I get some random IM from a guy I've never met but who apparently "is new in the HR dept" He says something like "Can you come up here and talk with me and Josh before your shift is over" (It's 2:20 at that point and I get out of there at 2:30, yes I had worked an entire day) So I go up to the HR department and there is rat faced josh and some random HR guy "As you know, it's the time of year for lay-off's" and my heart sank, I started shaking and Josh proceeds to say "I wish I had good news for you. . . It's not a performance issue, you just haven't been very pleasant to work with for the past year" I just sat there in shock. . .i couldn't believe what I was hearing. . . then the random HR guy chimes in and says something as he is sliding a paper in my direction "Here is your last check including today's pay" What fuckers, ya know? They let me come in and work a FULL DAY on Monday let me bust my ass so we could all go home on time, that is pretty low. I mean, they must have known for weeks that they were going to "Let me go" But they let me come in on a busy Monday, let me work all day and THEN lay me off. . . FUCK THEM. So after about 3 weeks of much needed recuperation I got a different job paying me $2.50 MORE an hour doing the same work. . . So I still get to work in fraud (Which is what I love, and am good at) AND they are paying me MORE with a bonus based on how much work I do a month. . . man thank god overstock laid me off. . . I never would have left that hell hole otherwise.

So now I guess I have to spring some cash and get the Internet at my casa. . . I'll have a real job where I won't get to play all day on the Internet. Bring it on. . . I'm ready to work with Grown-ups who don't play silly fucking games and stab each other in the backs. That might just make it easier to be PLEASANT. . .what a concept.

So that's been the major event in my life lately, that and my mom finally moved out of my basement. . .leaving Kelli behind to go live with some low life drug addict with those two beautiful sisters of mine. . . but HEY that's a different story.
