If this was England, they'd say I got sacked.
I got fired today. Jeremy has been wanting to get rid of me for a while but he's had nothing on me. Well, last night he got his chance. I was at the store until 2 a.m. rearranging, straightening, catching up on things,etc. Earlier, the deposite was $16 short. I managed to find six of it but I could find the other $10 no matter what. During the course of all the counting I forgot to close the safe. When I left about three hours later, the safe was still open. So that's that.
I've only been fired once in my entire life and that was a temporary job in the first place. I don't know what the normal reaction is but mine is relieve. I really dreaded going there everyday. The management is ridiculous and sometimes I wonder if anyone has any clue what they're doing there. At least now I don't have to worry with it anymore. I've only been fired for about an hour and a half and I've already found a couple of decent leads. I still have 60 hours of PTO coming to me so that's good.
The timing sucks a bit since I have court two weeks from tommorrow. It's going to be hard to get time off for the court date and the inevitable probation officer visits and community service. If need be, I'll quit that job and find another one once everything is done. I think I read too much Bukowski.
And yes, that really is his myspace page.
