Thank god I can party tonight.
So, this is the first time I've been able to update from my living room, the Fiber Optic connection was made yesterday. Woot! And to celebrate the occasion, I was fired from work.
Yes, after 2 1/2 years with the company, my employment was terminated. It appears that in the rush to finish up a small job on a last minute customer on thursday I committed the cardinal sin of auto mechanics and lost focus, apparently overlooking final torque on the wheel I had replaced a valve stem on. No worries, no one was hurt, the wheel simply began to shift so they pulled over and found the problem.
So, I'm off to see how pointless it will be to apply for mechanics positions after being fired for negligence. this is just a big bucket of suck. F.T.W., and goodnight.
