I got fired this week...
...only to be immediately re-hired by a different corporate entity of the same employer. I was told about it ahead of time, so I didn't freak out when I got the email from Bamboo HR about my "termination".
The owner is constantly shuffling things around like this, it makes zero difference in my day-to-day job so I've learned not to pay it much mind. I guess it's because we have manufacturing facilities in three states, with the corporate offices in a different city in one of them. Or something; it's not my department, so I couldn't really say for sure what the point is.
Actually, it did make one difference this time: I had to be given a new employee number, which, among other things, is what I use to clock in and out. So after going on 9 years punching the same 4 digits into the time clock 4 times a day, I now have to remember a new 4-digit code.
Being almost 50 sure is fun!
I was expecting to start getting my delayed Christmas presents this week, but nothing. I'm pretty sure Mom fucked up and never actually completed any of the purchases. I mean, she fucked up ordering stuff from Amazon, buying multiple copies of one of Jamie's cookbooks and 2 of Rian's novels, and Amazon is idiot-proof. It already has her address, her payment info, etc. Part of the problem is that even though she has both an iPad and a laptop, she never uses either of them. I know she tried to buy everything on her phone, and some online retailers don't really have websites that work well on a phone. She also can't see for shit and is constantly losing her glasses.
I'm equally sure that, rather than admit she fucked up, she'll let me have a big box of nothing for Christmas.
