As the title says its been a long time since I last posted a blog on here. And for the past week or so I haven't been very active (sorry system wars union members). And the reason for this is simple, I got fired from my job last Monday and have been job searching since then. Below is the story behind the firing...and its a long one...you have been warned.

Monday when I went into work and clocked in, one of the ladies that works there came up to me and said, "Greg told me to give you a message. He said that he is going to be on vacation this week and that you can go home for the week. If you want to discuss future employment here then you can come in on Monday and talk to him."

At first I thought she was joking. But when I realized she wasn't I tore up my time card, threw in the garbage and left. But it gets better, because on my way out the door I pushed the door open with my foot like I have a million times before, except this time something else happened as the door swung open. The glass spider webbed. Yep, so not only was I fired (for which I wasn't given a reason) but I also have to buy them a new door.

I'm not mad that I lost the job. I wasn't happy with it anyways. But I'm mad that my former boss was such a coward and couldn't tell me face to face that I was fired. Instead he had some woman who hasn't been there a month tell me.

Then on Wednesday or Thursday I got a call from them asking if I could come in sometime soon and talk to Greg. So I went ahead an said I would come in at 4 on Friday. Well, for the next day or so I was starting to think maybe he was going to tell me that it was a big misunderstanding. Mostly due to the fact that others around me were think that. Boy were we all wrong.

Since this blog is already getting too long I'll use a wonderful listing system to show the main points of the meeting.

Greg asked me about the door. I explained what happened and that was that.

Greg tries to blame the plotter breaking on me. He said that someone would have had to taken it apart and moved some little thing inside. I explained to him that I didn't even know what he was talking about and that the only think I took apart was the cover when me and Megan were trying to figure out whats wrong.

Then he finally told me that he was firing me because I was stealing time from him because I wasn't working and that I was always watching TV (one time he saw me listening to a video on my PSP while I was working) and sleeping (when he was in Alabama I feel asleep for a few minutes one day cause I didn't sleep good the night before and a couple of the guys there took pictures of me asleep.

I was getting ready to tell him that I wasn't always working because he hadn't been giving me any projects for the past 3 or so weeks. But then he kept going on and on and I just started to get pissed and wanted to leave. So then he told me that I would be paying for the door ($405.49 total), which I had already said I would. But that he would not do some payment thing with me, that I was to pay it in full before I got my check or he would call the police on me. So I went to the bank got the money and payed for the door, got my check and that was that.

So right now I have two job offerings up in the air. The first one is a graphic designer position at Northop Grumman (second largest goverment contractor). Its only for three months right now. But depending on how things go there is a very big chance it could go much longer. The other is at Game Crazy which is self explanatory. And in all honesty if I don't work there I'm going to start shopping there. The people are better then at GameStop and the company just seems to be better then GameStop. So I think I can finally tell GameStop to kiss my ass and they can keep my two preorders that I have with them right now.

As far as gaming goes, right now I'm playing Super Paper Mario, Manhunt, and MLB 2006: The Show. I stopped playing Pokemon Diamond but I will be getting back to that soon. Well, if you made it to the end then congrats...I'll have to give you something sometime.
