I would enjoy it more if I had more privacy here but I feel like everybody can see what I'm doing.

Ugh. That's the worst. People always come into my office and try to look over my shoulder. Why?! I'm just chatting to people on the internet. Sheesh. No respect.

dean? (deangulberry), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I know, I know, it could be worse. But it still sucks, and I need to get out of here.

three years pass...

Dear Livejournal,

Argh. It appears I might be fired this afternoon from my terrible restaurant job.

Asides from being incompetent, I was apparently supposed to work yesterday. This will be my second no call/no show in less than a month. Not because I’m disinterested but because I’m too absent minded to check the schedule.

I think they might keep me since they have a difficult time filling my position. If they do fire me I’m screwed as I have about 20 dollars in my bank account. Yikes!

Dear Mr Goodman,

It is customary, when employed, to show up for work.

I don't like liars, I don't like cheats. I don't like bullshitters. I don't like schmoozers. I don't like arse-lickers. But I've got a gut feeling and I'm following it.

You're hired.

A nice "lol" before I leave work for the weekend. Cheers ken et moonship.

FYI This year I was fired twice by the same pub within two weeks of each other.

That sucked.

moonship journey to baja, Friday, 2 November 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Well, I got fired. If anyone knows of a job that’s available in Boston ... let a brother know. Or I suppose I could start panhandling in Harvard Square.

Mr. Goodman, Friday, 2 November 2007 17:57 (sixteen years ago) link

one year passes...

my boss has a habit of sending me emails on friday or so once every three months that basically read "you me and the co-owner need to meet at noon on monday" and then offer no additional info when I ask; so every three months I walk around going "am i fired?" and they generally suggest I start work on something that totally confounds me, I tackle it and then repeat.
But every time I spend three days walking around going "am i fired?" and i always feel like it's gonna be this time. And this is this time.

WOOKIE JOHNSON (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link

From across the house, the gf hears me sighing and immediately asks what's wrong now. I should really not look at my email after I get home.

WOOKIE JOHNSON (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:21 (fifteen years ago) link

damn, sorry forks

WOOKIE JOHNSON (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:45 (fifteen years ago) link

:( sorry Forks

wilter, Friday, 20 March 2009 02:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Honestly, i'm sure i'm NOT getting fired (i think), it's just that I get these weird mystery emails and then never get a response as to what they're about, just "we'll talk about it on monday" and then i get charlie brown stomachaches all weekend for no reason.

WOOKIE JOHNSON (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:47 (fifteen years ago) link

I AM NOT FIRED
DO NOT BE SORRY FOR ME
IN THIS ECONOMY

WOOKIE JOHNSON (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 March 2009 02:47 (fifteen years ago) link

God, though now i feel jinxed and you have me positive I'm gonna come back here on Monday and have to be like "i am not crying wolf this time"
oh god charlie brown stomachache is coming and i have tied my peanut butter sandwich in a knot

Oh no, Forks! I just saw your revive and I'm so sorry for your loss... I'm usually not religious at all, but your horrible misfortune got me praying. I'm trying to find a silver lining here, but sometimes, there just isn't one (maybe you won't be able to afford that girlfriend anymore after this weekend, is that helping?)

Stay strong and hang in there, man. *chokes up*

StanM, Friday, 20 March 2009 05:37 (fifteen years ago) link

You don't want me despoiling the region, big fella, and it sounds like too much work.

three weeks pass...

How hilarious is it when you are being canned in 2 weeks, and you are told to go the extra mile (on something you've never had to do before) because "this editor (who you've never heard of before) IS PICKY"? lol, what's my motivation?
