For those of you not in the know, I have come back to southern california. As it was, the company I was at was going down hill fast because of the oil boom slowdown and then change of ownership and leadership. Our side, the communications construction side, was always disliked by one of the co-owners because we were a mistake they did, but had pulled through and was proving our selves. We also didn't bow down or fear them, showed a whole new way of doing things, and showed work ethics that were what was needed. Anyways, we wete going to come back down, and had given our 2 weeks notice, when the other company we were going to work for had canceled on us. We recended our notices, but that just made the company more hostile and looking for any reason to get rid of us. So, as it happened, while excavating, i hit a phone cable that went from deep to shallow with the excavator. We had it fixed and everything was fine. Well, the company decided to use that to fire me with cause, and at the same time, fire my dad, who was our supervisor. The phone company was very upset with this news, and decided that woth our termination, they were going to pull the plug on tbe company. The outher two guys decided to quit as well since we were fired, and we packed up and left on saturday. My dad and the u haul shoukd be here on monday, i just drove ahead and longer to get back home sooner.

Anyways, I get home, and was told by my mom that she put my cat down a month ago, without telling me or my dad. I was looking forward to seeing my cat and holding here after being gone for so long. The one thing i wanted so much, and now that can never be. I'm upset and feeling emotional to say the least. I'll be okay eventually, but it just hurts right now.

One other thing. I have a job waiting for me already. It will be the same stuff and up in the san jose area, with eventually moving towards socal. I just need to hammer out more details like what where and when to come up and fill things out.

Also, I'll be moving into my mates place in Lancaster, so when the rest of my stuff gets gere, I'll be getting that moved and setup.
