You're Fired (Literally)

[DavidMn]

So anyhoo, Here I sat 24 hours ago thinking I was going into work at 3:30 for a review and a nice raise. I get there, and the manager calls me into the back room and was like "before we start this I have to ask you a question. Did you eat one of the hot dog's off the grill when you threw them away last night. I was like "Sure I did. I was throwing them away anyway." Not exactly one of my better moves to say that. SHe proceeds to say "well, then I have to fire you." I was like HUH?!?!?!? What are you talking about? She said "I was watching the video tape and I saw you doing this." I wanted to give you a chance to answer. I wasnt going to lie. The thing that pisses me off is that I was very loyal to this place, even though it didnt pay a ton of money. They gave me a job when I needed it and I respect that. I used to take the old hot dogs home to the dog and feed them to him and this lady that works there and I would at the end of the night eat one or 2 as I threw them away. So something about this doesnt add up. Talk about a kick to this stomach. Here I've been working to build things up again after haveing ****ed up pretty bad over the last 7 months and now it's gone in a snap of a finger. I'm trying really hard not to get into that self pity mode. I was watching that Flight 93 movie last night and thinking to myself "That couldve been me." or I couldve been an Enron worker and lost my life savings. You wanna try to have that glass half full attitude, but man after going from a nice raise to fired it aint easy. Sorry to vent like this, but I need that support right now. Thank you.
