Well I got canned yesterday.
It's been a hard few months and now this. I go into my boss's office, mind you the current boss is the vice president of the company, and he is generally very approachable and willing to talk.
So as I said before, I go into his office and tell him I wanted to talk because I needed a pick me up (rent is 15 days late, cell phone got shut off last week, home phone got shut off two days ago, wife is 6 months pregnant w/ child #2 and the bills are stacked through the chimmney). He tells me that he will talk to me tomorrow late morning because he was heading out for the day and had to make an important phone call.
Tomorrow comes and I went in to work early to talk to him, however, he wasn't in yet. I get with my student for the day and everything goes well. I am on my way out the door, the boss stops me and says "Let's take 5 minutes and talk ." "Okay." I say. He grabs, the chief instructor, who is a good friend of mine, and we sit down in his office. Here I am thinking I am gonna walk out of his office feeling like a million bucks, and the next sentance that comes out of my boss' mouth is "You told me yesterday that you needed a 'pick me up', that made me say 'Wait a minute, what is going on with this guy?', so after looking into it, I am gonna put it this way. I am letting you go."
The chief instructor's mouth hits the floor and I just sat there staring at him like a deer in headlights. I seriously thought he was joking. I was honestly waiting for him to start laughing. He had me turn in my keys and that was that.
is about the way I feel right now.
So I mosey on down to the unemployment office this morning and I find out that I am elible for a whopping $51.00 a week, and that is if I qualify.
