| Thursday April 17, 2003 Hi guys, I'm sorry I haven't been around. I've been going through some really bad times. I just got fired on Monday. I can't believe it. Almost three years and I'm fired. It was just an excuse, they've been talking about downsizing and I'm it. Nobody can believe it. Everyone including the new kid thought it would be him, the new kid. He doesn't do his job at all. He's been a mess since he's started, making big mistakes costing the company $$$$ in storage charges, failing to complete his job on a daily basis. So I make one mistake and I get fired!!!! I know it has a lot to do with the fact that 1. the jap flat faced f*ck hates me, 2. I'm a woman, and 3.I was getting paid for my time off for surgery, It's funny I called headquarters on Friday last week and discussed with them my surgery and need for time off and what benefits I would quailfy for. And on Monday I'm fired!!! It's a load of crap. I worked my ass off in there, and I didn't deserve this. You can't tell me that my job performance has not improved when I recieved a stellar yearly evaluation. Well I'm not sitting down for this. I'm waiting to hear about my serverance package, and them I'm calling the ACLU. I was forever harrassed by this man, and me getting fired is completely bogus. So now here I am, unemployed for the first time since I've been working since 16 years old. Not to mention I am scheduled for surgery on June 5th. I am still going to have surgery. I had my sleep study on Monday, I got a total of 1 1/2 hrs of sleep. It blew, not just because I had just gotten fired but because you're strapped with these wires and a head wrap, I couldn't sleep on my stomach, and it was near impossible to sleep on my side. Needless to say I was absolutely miserable. Then I went to the psych eval on Wednesday. She was really nice, and of course I passed....YEAH!!!!!!! She said she would forward the approval letter right away to my dr. So now the last thing I have to do is my presurgicals with the hospital, my doctor and the surgeon. Oh and did I mention lose 26lbs by then....yes I am slowly losing my mind. It's everything I can do to keep from slipping into a major depression. At least the only good thing is that everything is falling apart at my job. I found out that the day after they fired me, one of the girls resigned and now one of the managers is quitting on Friday. They can't handle my accounts and I didn't leave anything behind for them to follow on how to do my accounts. I have stuff on my desk not even the managers know how to do, and considering that I have the largest work load they're screwed. Too bad for them. Well that's it for now, I will let you know how everything else goes on. |
| Thursday April 24, 2003 Hi guys, it's been a week since I've stopped by. Things seem to be okay. Well at least the finality of the fact that I have lost my job has not really settled in. I feel like I am on an extended weekend. Weird. Anyway, I'm taking it easy and trying to occupy my mind with other things, like practicing being a housewife...hahahaha!!!! I'm doing okay at that. It feels like last Monday was a world away and that last week felt so long. And here I am a week later and it's already Thursday. I'm trying to keep my chin up and focus on the fact that now I can rest and recoup from the hellish nightmare my job really was. And now I can take time for me. It seems I have followed the consensus of my family to take this time off and let unemployment bear my costs, let that company pay!!!! I bet they thought I would run out and get another job right away, let them pay my to stay home and clean and cook and just enjoy the beautiful weather. I know sooner or later it's going to hit me financially, but I think we will do okay. The one major blessing is that I my wonderful aunt has given me the money to pay for the next two months of insurance so I can have the surgery. I have to say my family is really pulling for me to have it and I'm going to do everything not to let them down. On another note, I spoke with the head nurse who works for my surgeon, Mary. I explained my situation and asked if it was possible to be considered to have my surgery moved up should something become available. I told her I am not looking to bump anyone, I wouldn't dream of it, but should a cancelation occur could I be considered for that spot. Gratefully she said yes, she expressed her sympathy for my situation and said I would be placed on a list to be moved up should something arise. I in no way want to bump someone, but I can't help but hope an opportunity arises. sorry people, I know it sounds selfish but I need to get this done and get back to working asap. Well my plate is full for now. I going to see a lawyer about sueing the company. They did so many things wrong when they terminated me. I am going to make sure that they realized that this woman is not going out without a fight. I know everyone at my job is in a living hell right now. With one more girl leaving tomorrow and the other manager already gone. Oh did I tell you, one of my assistant import managers walked out last Friday. No notice nothing, got up said, well I'm gone nice working with you...hahahahahaha!!!!!! So now they had to fly in two people to help out in the office. But that okay what goes around comes around. Well nite for now. I promise to keep you up to date on the drama of my life. |
