I didn't think it would happen
17 years ago
Ya know...........I thought all was gonna go well for us up here now. I mean frost has his great job, granted he has to drive a half hour to get to it. We have this wonderful new pad. The carpet guy FINALLY came over yesterday and laid the carpet down and got us better arranged so we fixed up the place. And Kitties car is still in tact.......(don't wanna jynx it)
But sadly today I had Falcon take me to work to see what was going on and such with what I had to do till I can get my license back.
First words that came out Mark's (my boss) mouth. "Mike....your fired."
I wanted to be like fuck you Donald Trump, but I decided to listen to him blame me once again for the transmission, he said I fucked up from last week. Yeah if anyone didn't hear the transmission on that van of mine went out for the 2nd time. its been 1 year since it was replaced but as always Mark takes it to the fucking mexico auto shop to get his trucks fixed. Seriously 1 FUCKING year and it goes out once again? Now I don't put alot of pressure on the truck when I'm driving. I have heard many noises from my truck every time I get it back from mexico auto. Frost's car is proof that they don't do a damn decent fucking job of their work. Mark thinks I don't care about MY JOB? Seems these assholes don't do the same thing cause thats why the trucks FUCK UP every 2 months.
Those trucks are CRAP!! Plain and simple because mark don't care about the driver. When I had it go out the first time he wanted me to drive further down the road on the left side and get off at the next exit. Now it had a hard time going forward but luckily I was near an exit going the oppisite direction. So I cut across those medians and took the exit to get to the gas station at the top and maybe put some transmission fluid in it and naything else it needed. It had a hard time as hell going forward. luckily I managed to get the truck driven down closer to the shop on a different road but then it finally went out. And he blamed me for not following mapquest directions to take side streets. I looked at the directions and it showed that I had to get ON the highway to travel about 5 miles north to get to where I had to go. So I went against the directions and took the highway that leads all the way up anyway. Would have gotten me there faster and got me back to doing more jobs later in the day, but no.
3 years of working for him and my work just isn't good for him? I've busted my fucking balls and got the scars all over my arms and hands to prove what I have done to work for this asshole. And when he came out here to pick me up due to the truck transmission fucking up, Falcon was outside watching Mark shoot his mouth off to me. I couldn't believe he would do something like that and in front of my friend and neighbor. Granted if Frost was out there then all hell would of broken loose. I'm glad he went to sleep when he came home from his late night shift. Even when I was at the shop loading up another truck I could hear him talking to the tow truck guy and he was calling me an idiot and an asshole and a dumbass. Man's got SOME balls to be saying that when those trucks run like shit. He only takes them there cause they are the cheapest autoshop in the neighborhood.
And to make matters worse he even slapped me with a 1700 dollar bill I have to owe him mainly from the usage of my cell phone even though they changed my calling plan and also for the credit card charges of the card they gave me to use. I know if was mainly for business but I only used it for minor stuff like maybe food so I can concintrait on the road. You try going like 2 weeks without eating something decent and tell me how YOU feel. Our rent came first on most accounts. And 5 bucks isn't something to go ape shit over. Mainly they saved all my shit for the year and decided to lay it on me. Yeah nice people right? leaving me a bill I owe them after they fire me. Granted they said they won't take me to court for this cause they ain't dicks like that. Like I'll believe that. And now tomorrow is the last time I'll show my face around there or in that fucking area of Illinois ever again.
Either way he fired me and I have to turn all my stuff in like the uniforms and the jacket and my health insurance will be canceled and also my cell phone.
Yeah to everyone out there who has my cell phone number. The 847 number that I have, will no longer be mine to use any more. I have to turn in my phone as well so I can't talk to anyone any more. I can't give or recieve text's or call you all to talk to you.
However all is not lost cause Falcon will be allowing us to use his phone. However it is a home phone and I don't want people calling me at like 1 in the morning. We'll be sharing his line for the time being and I will only give it to those who need it. Plus I will have to buy myself a pay as you go phone. and get like a phone card to use for my calls. However I will not be using it alot of the time cause it will be for emergency purposes only.
This I think is for the better for me and frost too. Granted he can hold the fort this time as I have done for him back in march and april when he lost his job. It might take me some time to find a decent job around this neighborhood but I will try to look around and see what there is to apply for.
This isn't the end for us. This is a time for change. And change means even if something happens to ya then ya gotta get back up on yer feet and look to the future of how your life will be somewhere else. Thats how I see it and I know Frost will help me find a job like I helped him and help pay for stuff. Hell gives me a chance to find maybe a job that pays weekly instead of BI-weekly. I've been wanting a job that pays weekly cause we can't survive on a bi weekly paycheck. Too much pain to think about and stuff to do during that time. I'll be getting one final check but it will be mailed to me instead. But all isn't lost too cause I got my tax return which will be from them and I know it will be one hell of a tax return that will go toward really being happy up here. Since we don't have a bank we have been saving money like crazy. Seriously 3 weeks here and we've saved tons of cash thus far. I've never been happier.
I'm not gonna lose any sleep over this guys. I'm a strong and smart tiger to keep pushing forward and get things done. I'm a hard worker and I got alot of knowledge under my belt of the previous jobs I've had. 4 years of garage door work, 2 years of working a cash register, 1 year in retail sale. Honestly I have room to maybe learn a new trait once I get things in order.
The future holds many new things ahead for me. Right now I have my friends here for me and thats all I absolutely need. I'll just be home for a few days trying to relax and get ready to head out into this new world for us up here. I want a job close to home anyway and I know of alooot of them down the block from us. But if I have to I'll find anything. As long as I don't have to drive an hour to be at it.
Tiger is on a different mission. A mission of change. Change is indeed good. Why ya think we live up here now. Wish me luck guys.

I agree that you're a very intelligent, persistent tiger with a lot of endurance and despite the negative situation, I applaud your optimism, Blazger. :3
*hugs*
I was about to say that some of mexicans works the half of what they should do (me included XD)
It's gonna be tough job hunting over the next few weeks because most businesses are closed for the various holidays that all land around the 2nd half of December, but I wish you luck.
Some suggestion: When Jenn lost her one job, she bounced back quickly by getting a job at a Burger King while she looked for a job that fit her qualifications. Could I have supported her on the money I make? Sure, although it'd have been a tight fit, just like you are in right now. Some money is better than none.
Good luck.
I wish you guys everything of the best, Tiger. Hang in there. You just gotta tough it out a bit! Good things are happening!
At least...hold it together till May ^.^
And I'm thinking the same thing will happen to me, too. I think I'm gonna get fired as well. Mainly because of how I worked around people. The guests that is. I should be a little more happy, but it's hard when I have a dead end job and family always talking down to me. It's hard.
Anyways, enough about me. I'm sorry for what happened, dude. It sucks to get fired. I should know. I hope you'll find a better one.

Here in California, we have a law that demands that if you have existing health insurance, that the employer is supposed to continue to offer it to you for up to two months after termination of employment, provided that you are qualified under your states rules.
Check to see if your state is a right-to-work state: RTW states have different laws governing how the employer can terminate you.
Heres wishing you good luck on quickly finding replacement employment: Look everywhere! Manufacturing and warehouses all have high turnover rates.
The first one said the guy lied about it and then told him his hours were being reduced and that he would be called for the next "Shift" then never called him...
So, the second guy takes the truck out and again, it smokes and pulls hard to the right, so he calls the boss and FORCED the boss to ride with him to see whats happening, so they go to the mechanic and they look it over and AGAIN TELL HIM NOTHINGS WRONG! So, the SECOND guy is told that he will be called in... I sware sometimes those guys dont know shit about trucks, and when they wanna be cheep, They take them to places that dont give a shit and will do it wrong just to make more money.
FYI, the boss never called those two people in but never "Fired" them, so when they files for unemployment, they were denied because they were still on the "Payroll" and getting $0.00 checks. The boss is a real prick...
Fur what it's worth love, ya still have my number, and you can call me if you need.
You are a true sweetheart Ash. You still have a part of this tigers luv for ya and always will *kisses softly*
*giggles, fluttering hir lashes* Then again, what aren't I gonna do with you? *murrs into your lips, wrapping hir plumey tail around yer legs*
