I am alive
Life is odd, but at least not dull. I am recovering well.
On Thursday I preformed a stupid human trick. On my way home from the convenience store I tripped and smashed my face into the road. Not good. I did manage to get up an run home where I scared Gary. He call 911 and I was taken to the emergency room. I lost 2 teeth, (shattered, my dentist has never seen teeth break like mine before,) and a very swollen lip. At least it wasn't too painful, except for when the doctor had to check if there where any teeth in my lip.
My lip is now almost normal sized and I have caps on my teeth.
Gary and I are not allowed back into the ER for 6 months according to the nurses since we where in with Gary on Monday. (Fish bone in his throat.)
as far as the job thing goes, the rant is here ->
He really is a idiot, not only did he let me go but a week after my last day he fires one of the sales reps (kim) too.
I was let go for "typographical errors," ( in other words type-o's) or at least that is what I gather. None of my co-workers where aware of what was happening until 2 days before the new girl started, (who I had to train) and one sales rep found out day of when she got back from vacation. My former boss says he is taking me out for coffee to explain what happened, but I haven't heard from him in almost a week.
I'm not surprised, he has been avoiding me ever since he let me go. I suspect he is getting worried, one that he is looking like a "bad guy" and two that Kim and I will go to the labour board. Not that we have any reason or anything, just to be spiteful since we were not given proper notice and are having a hard time getting proper termination pay out of him.
I see it as he has just dug himself a big hole that he has now walked into. He has one sales rep, (who is planing on leaving since she doesn't trust him any more), a designer (who feels in over her head and severely under paid which she is,) and the owner of the shop they acquired last summer (who intends on leaving at the end of this summer) and finally a pressman. I think most of them have lost a lot of respect an trust in him.
Oh fun. When I went to fill out my EI form I discovered that my record of employment was incorrect as well. My first day was marked as May 1 2000, instead of August 10, 1998. He told me to check with the book keeper, since she filled it out (but he signed it.) I am still waiting for my adjusted termination pay.
In other word the whole thing has been one BIG mess. I'm looking forward to getting it all behind me.
Enough ranting for now. ^_^
