Hi all - I guess I only write this blog when there are crisis in the air. Well there are crisis again, but it is good times still. It seems that my venture of employment has again taken a downswing and I am left standing in the middle of the road with my pants down. Just four days after my grandfather gasps his last breath - the kind, integrity-driven, people caring, company that I worked so hard for have decided to "Let me go."After weeks of praise, admiration, assurance and reverence, they pulled the rug out from under me and I didn't have any clue - or see it coming. (Yes this entry is therapeutic.) As they lead me into the office I was expecting an increase in salary or some sort of recognition.
There reasoning was that "they" were sorry but they had hired the wrong type of person for the position - not just a week prior the founder of the company told me that I was the perfect person and that they had all of their faith in me. There were no warnings, no offers, no signs; just a big vat of smelly fly-covered bullshit that said I was amazing over and over and how I was their savior and doing an amazing job. Talk about mixed messages. Oh well say-la fucking-vie! (I know it's spelled wrong - but I need this rant.)
I would not be so angry - if I had screwed up or I had gotten warnings - and I conclude that they all might as well take the last 10,000 charter cards that I ordered for them and wipe their asses with them. They are no different then McDonalds, Enron or George Bush for that matter.
Hilarious really; and quite interesting. The deception that the almighty dollar can inspire never ceases to astonish me. It's ok though, I will be fine, like they say It takes a long time for a person, or a company to realize what "they don't know they don't know."

C'est-la-fucking-vie just doesn't cut it for me...let's say, it just doesn't "explainit". Ahh, there is seemingly no justice in this world is there? Just when you think you're in the right place, surrounded by the right people, and you're ready to celebrate your brainy decision to align yourself with the one company in the world that "would never do anything like that"...humanity jumps up in its most arrogant form to remind you that it was in fact too good to be true. As an outsider...but an insider as well, I find myself feeling the need to apologize for the world...and then beginning the dubious task of looking over my shoulder at regular intervals. Alas, the honeymoon has ended and reality has once again struck me between the eyes...or was it the back of the head...it's all fuzzy from where I stand...sadly the eye opener has come at the expense of a friend I consider to be dear. I must remain positive, for negativity could only make withstanding life that much more arduous. I'm glad our paths crossed for long enough to allow for a seed to be planted. There is an entity out there right now who does not know how lucky they are about to become...wishing you the softest of landings friend. Treat yourself to a strawberry sundae, it's a gorgeous day.
Sweet post - yes strawberry is my favourite flavour.
