HOT DAMN!

Sep 29, 2006 14:23

I swear I'll never bitch about paying union dues again.

Harrison (the flamey guy who went to my meetings) just called me and told me to stop packing and pay my rent. I'll be back at work Tuesday!

Yay! I am glad to hear they changed their minds.

Yeah, especially without going through all the usual greivance proceedings (which can take months). I feel a little like a sell out because I had all these great fantasies about them crawling back saying how wrong they were and me telling them to stick it, but... meh.

My benefits are nice and not going broke is nice and not having to move is nice, so... here I am. But I think I'm going to keep pushing myself to find out what else there is for me in this life because the fact that I've let this ridiculous airline job consume almost all of it is a little depressing.

That is only natural Cris. My job is by no means my dream job, not even close, but it does the same to me. It is our means for survival. You are still young (25 next month right?), and this is just a stepping stone to the next opportunity. Plus, you are getting to see things that most people our age only dream of seeing.

That was incredibly ridiculous for them to treat you that way though. I hope someone gave them a stern talking to.

Thanks Leanne. We'll have to go for sherbert next time I'm in town.

(...because I've really been craving sherbert.)

Those asses!!! I'm sooooo glad they finally came to their senses! About time man!

i concur, but at least they didn't wait until after i'd thrown out the trash (with my uniform in it) and spent the money to ship all the heavy shit to houston.

being lazy works and dragging your heels works out sometimes.

Hot damn! We should hang out. I'll buy you a beer or some ice cream to celebrate.

strange_fit September 30 2006, 02:41:59 UTC

right?! sorry i had to ditch you last week, but if i'd known i was going to get fired anyway, i would have skipped out on airport alert.

how was your birthday?

caer_lyons September 30 2006, 15:03:59 UTC

It went pretty well. It was small, and that was good, because we didn't have some $500 bill to split 10 ways. You know people ALWAYS skimp on that.

Besides, I'm sure not skipping airport alert helped you get it back. You got it back, right?

strange_fit September 30 2006, 15:24:49 UTC

yeah, i did :)

what are you up to this weekend?
