    Well, can't sleep. I'm hungry and have no food in the apartment, except popcorn. I'm also tired. I am nearly broke since I have been unable to get Unemployment, because the company I worked for has denied it. I called a lawyer and will hear back on Monday. I am hoping for my taxes and bail-out money before I lose my apartment!

    He asked about what had happened. 4 days later, I was fired by some dick in HR for THEFT! My DM was nearly in tears. He could not do anything about it. He talked to his Boss, Regional MGR, and he could do nothing either. No good deed goes unpunished, when you are owned by a corp.

    IME, HR is not there to protect YOU, the employee. IF they were, it'd be pretty strange how bad they all seem to be at that...

    As far as I can tell, HR exists to fire people and cover things up. Sometimes both. The reason may not even be what you think it is.

    I'm reminded of a freight manager I worked with getting fired for 'stealing' a pack of gum. We started at 4AM. The registers won't even come up till 8, so sometimes she would grab a snack and have it rung up right before opening. Hell, I would ring it up.

    She explained this to them, and they never even cared about who else was involved or knew, luckily for me. Just goes to show it was only her they wanted.

    Good old fashioned head-hunting managers. God forbid they ever see you as a liability. There's no warnings or three-strikes when you're on their hit list.

    So, after a 92 hour work week, last week, long story, I am back to normal hours. Sort of, no days off. But, I am feeling better for it! Sleep is not over-rated!!

    I am on Salary, so I don't get overtime. If I was hourly, I would have made a $1000 extra, which is why the company doesn't mind working me to death.

    That's very harsh mate... I hope you're on a good day rate!!

    Write up has been sent in, I am tired of this crap. She needs to shape up or be gone, I have 3 new hire's in the coming weeks. I'm sure at least 2 of them would love her hours!

    i wanna play a game but, I'm tired and Hungry. I'm pretty sure that I would suck, since my brain is mush, right now. Worked my tired butt off this morning, alone, since my co-worker did not show up! We talked about this last night! She wanted to switch shifts, so she could attend a meeting that involves her kid. Then promised to show up on time. Numerous text's and phone calls, her phone magically got turned off!

    yesterday went fine build wise. but, I forgot to bring my Win 10 USB! So, we drove back, got back to her place and it was not a boot-able...I effed up. So, I rufus-ed another bootable, last night before bed and went over there tonight and got it up and running. I was like," Watch this!" and shut it off. bam off. Then on again, bam, on. She was crazy happy. :toast:

    Well, The A-10 APU, will live again! The board and CPU I won here in a WCG Challenge, sometime ago, is going across town to my Sister. She has an aging Dell with ISDN cables! Plus a 80GB HD!! I have an SSD and a 1TB hdd and 16GB Ram and a new PSU, that I am gonna go cram into that old Dell Box, today, starting soon! Should be fun, could take all day! Wish me luck!! :lovetpu:

    Sent out all the appropriate text messages, got dressed and now off to the bar, to wish all the lonely drunks well wishes! Plus, I think there might be Holiday dinner, as in the past. We'll see. Take Care everyone, Drive Safe! Fortunately for me, it's a four block walk to the bar. :toast:

    Played Poker w/ my Sister and Brother, at his place. Usually we meet Christmas Eve and make Taco's. Not sure why, probably because it's easy. Last night, my Brother worked late and missed the grocery store for Taco supplies. So we had Chinese. :) Good Times.

    So, tomorrow, Thursday, I will build it up and get it rolling, I have a customer to help in the afternoon, but the rest of the day is devoted to the rig! :rockout:

    Well, long day! AGM flaked on me, second time this week! However I told him he will have to open the store tomorrow, taking my shift, no excuses. He caved, and hopefully comes through. I need a day off!! I got the last piece of the gaming rig today, unfortunately it is in my PO box that closed before I got off work.
    Arjai
    OK, some Good News...
    First, I got a Key-holder today from another store, that closed last week, that I thought was moving to N.Carolina. Apparently, his job offer was not as good as was first offered, much worse. So, yesterday I found out he was still available and he is closing the store, right now!
    Arjai
    Sitting here, waiting for Laundry, wondering if I should order my free Domino's Pizza. I still have until Thursday to get paid and I have nothing but a change jar, maybe 20 bucks, or so....
    Arjai
    I have tied hard to make this work...my job. I am unsure if it is worth the effort, anymore. Problem is, I need to pay Rent. So I need to secure new work before I quit this one. I don'y know what to do, except wake up and go to work, again. No time to work on prospects. Evil circle of hell.

    The options are there if you want to see them. Take a few days off, or call in sick, or, if you feel your current employer would not go all bananas, discuss it with your employer. The latter is usually best, sometimes you get insights / doors may open up you never knew existed..

    Left my phone in an UBER, again. This time though it has not been a speedy recovery of it. I am pretty sure the phone is in the car, parked in his garage and he is fast asleep, inside his house. I will have to try and ring it, through Google, again in the morning.

    Tomorrow is one of our busiest days of the week and I have got to keep it together. Not sure how I will but, I'm gonna try like hell to do so! Wish me Luck!! Goodnight, I need my rest. First though, I am gonna pour a glass of wine, try and pre-chill, before bed.
    Arjai
    A constant buzz of wants until I found a Pizza joint, 2 blocks away, that let me chill unmolested, and warm, for 20 minutes. A few days earlier, same thing, missed my stop, but this time I was just 8 blocks away and just zombie walked home. I am at the end of my frayed rope holding on with one, very tired hand. Twice today I snapped at my employees for little, to no, reason.

    Man, I am exhausted as hell. Nearly missed my bus stop, again! Earlier this week, I feel asleep on the bus and woke up 5 miles from home. Smack dab in a shady neighborhood with drunks and shitbirds galore! Bus back was 40 minutes away and it was 18 F out with a steady wind. "Got a square? Can I get a dollar from you? Got any spare change?"
