Well, I had a really tough time sleeping last night. I got up about
6:30 in the un-godly (is that even a real word) morning. The drive
there was not as bad as I expected, but it still took an hour. I
arrived about 12 minutes early. They told me to wait in the reception
area and somebody would be with me shortly. I saw the HR lady that
interview me walk in. She went to her office and came back. She told me
that she thought I could not start on the 14th and left it at that. I
don’t know what that means. She asked me if I was committed to this job
and I gave a smart ass remark (my stupid fucking mouth!) of “well, I’m
here, aren’t I”. She said she needed to check with the manager and
left. She came back and said that since I couldn’t start on the 14th,
they were just going to leave it as is. She thought that when I called
Friday, I had told her that I would not be able to take the job if I
had to start today. This was not true at all. She thanked me, shook my
hand, and I walked out. By the time I got to the elevator, I was
laughing. The whole thing reminded me of a Seinfeld episode in which
George shows up to a job that he wasn’t sure he had. I keep telling
people, I got fired from a job I didn’t even have. Although, to be
honest, she wasn’t that clear…………not clear on Friday, and not
clear today. Was she saying that I could start in 2 weeks? Oh well. I’m
not going back to that place. Fuck it. Its all really funny though. I
can’t help but laugh.
After the firing, I came home and called Danel. I told her
all about it and asked her if she wanted to run to AAA to get my deck
of cards I left there. She agreed. I also spoke with Danielle, and the
3 of us agreed to go to the house on the rock on thursday. We got to
AAA. We saw Mike Corp outside smoking, so we drove up and spoke with
him for a while. Seems things are really going to shit now that the
call center is gone. Thats no suprise though. We also saw Donna, Lenna,
and Jen. We went inside and spoke with Michelle. She gave me a badge,
and we went back into the call center. It was so weird being there. Its
still like I’m on vacation. Anywho, I found them right where I left
them. After that, we went into the breakroom and spent some time with
Jen and Lenna again on their lunch. We said goodbye to Michelle and
left. After that, we headed to the Naperville AAA store to visit more
former co-workers. I got the email address of somebody that had applied
to a company I’m interested in. While we were there, this really hot
boy came in to get his picture take for an international driver’s
license. He and I had on similar shorts, and we spoke briefly about
them. I asked him to take them off, and he did. We had the BEST SEX
EVER right there on the……………..no, wait, its what I wanted to
do, but instead we made small talk with him and we left.
