Freedom

I am no longer an employee of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

I was fired.

While my family (parents and visiting brother and sister-in-law) were in the store.

Go me.

Wow. Did you flip them the bird, or moon them as you left?

Smooch. Loves. Hope you figure it all out.

[serrahok]

I didn't do any of the above. I told them that it sucked because my family was in the store. My (former) boss said, "Oh shit, I'm sorry" but that was all.

I haven't figured out yet what I'm going to do. On my family's part, they've informed me that Lisa and I will not be starved nor homeless.

[chasbrown]

Did this come out of nowhere, or was it all brewing?

[serrahok]

Out of the clear blue. I'd been good to go since last August.

[iceraver]

Forget the blue. I'm so much happier since I went to the red. They've been the best company for the past nine months. (I coulda had a baby since I joined Target. heh)

[elkster]

*gasp* There's a thought.

[serrahok]

There's not a Target for 100 miles around me. I might try to get out of retail completely. I dunno. Right now the plan is for me to try to get reinstated at SOMETHING long enough for me to find a better job, just so I have money coming in.

Holy Shit, What????

[serrahok]

Yeah. I'll write more later when I can be coherent about it.

I've often found getting let go to be a profitable experience. Hope it works out the same for you. In the meanwhile, if there's anything you want to work at doing remotely, feel free to send me a resume (to rick_vs [at] yahoo [dot] com), and I'll keep an eye out.

[serrahok]

Thanks, Rick. My family is being pretty supportive of me, telling me that good things will happen, etc. I have to get a resume together now I guess.

[elkster]

Nice. Very nice. Are you ok?

[serrahok]

Eh. Still fighting tears, but I'm ok. This is going to be hard.

[elkster]

Take care of yourself *hug*
