Strange Week-- Got A Job And Got Laid Off - phantom - 06-18-2010
Work has been slow so I put in an application online a couple of weeks ago. The place called me for an interview the next day. They did a background check and fortunately didn't find out about me posting at UJ.
Yesterday I went for the second interview, took the drug test and they hired me. Jigly helped me study for the drug test. He's like a savant.
They told me to come back on July 7th for orientation. So I go in to my current job last night and they say there is going to be a meeting in the morning. The meeting was that about a 4th of the employees are going to be laid off, including moi. So since I was going to quit anyway I was quite happy but pretended to be upset because of the other people. I have a lot of empathy for my fellow workers.
So I think great, now I get a couple of weeks unemployment and a vacation. Then just now the place that just hired me called up and said that the orientation has been moved up to June 23. Now I won't get a vacation or unemployment, but still not bad.
What are the odds of getting a new job the day before you're laid off? Nobody saw this coming either. God loves me.

Shit I thought I was posting at UJ.
I'll just copy and paste. They love me there. Of course I meant to tell MellonHead anyway.

And if you were worth a shit, they would find a way to keep you.

Actually, I think everybody knew I was quitting. I told several people. Even before it was official, I knew I had the other job. I've never not been hired when the person interviewing was a female. I'm extremely charming and personable.

Keep telling yourself that but the truth is you just aren't that valuable. How does somebody help you study for a drug test? What, do they caress your balls as you pee in a cup?

It was a joke you idiot. Like I said, it was meant for UJ. Jigly is a drug addled imbecile who breaks a bone about once a week.

Another one of those classic phantom jokes where you have to add more information for it to make sense? Those are the best.

You're just an idiot that can't understand anything that's not spelled out for you step by step.
Shame to have a head that big and only mush for filling.
Must be like being 7 foot tall and not able to play basketball.

Yeah, I'm sure companies are rushing to hire up all of the 47 year old, cat loving men who sew. His potential knows no bounds.

i guess if you don't care what it is, that's great. But how long until you jump from this one to the next? Most people your age are settled into a career of sorts, not working through temp agencies.
