This Hole is Unconfortable...
Hello Dear Reader, I’m sorry I have not updated in the past little while. I lost interest and also decided on focusing on figuring out what to do.

so I left off with telling you that my fulltime job had been cut. Well I’ve gathered some further insight to it. I’ve found out who is responsible, and I was a little miffed when I had heard. Turns out the person responsible has never actually interacted with me in my life or at my job period…so tell me, how can you gather that I have a “lack of focus” when you’ve never actually seen me doing my job? This is why my Dear Reader, that I am extremely agitated about the situation. Now I know what you’re saying, “don’t take it personal” but you know what, it is fucking personal. For some reason this person decided that they knew enough about me whether by my name, my age, or my picture that I did not deserve the income I was getting. I’m sorry Reader, but that is fucked.

Anyway, in talking to my former co-workers, I’ve found out that there was a big enough reaction to my ejection that they did not continue with any other firings. Wait I should back up a bit… there was a bit more insight I gathered, turns out this person had a list of people he wanted gone, and after the uproar of my firing, which included an RF Tech risking his own job to try and save mine, apparently it was enough to save the jobs of others. Which I’m grateful for, because a fellow coworker on that list needed this job desperately and I had much rather it is me gone then him.

I’ve also come across some points that intrigue me, apparently there is a lady on my former line that was let go by prior, and then brought back in again. This gives me hope… but it’s highly unlikely to happen. Another thing that made me feel a little diabolic is that maybe I should try to get back in through another agency… that would be funny. But anyway all has been said and done and everything has fallen into place. This is where I am, and I need to make more effort to get where I need to be.

SO! I bet you’re all wondering what I’m doing about the car. I’ve decided, pending my brother’s approval of the vehicle. That I am to go ahead and purchase it as planned. There shouldn’t be any problem with me driving this vehicle. I have more than enough to cover the purchase price and the first and last month’s insurance.  My parents have been kind enough to offer to pay my first year of insurance, so I won’t have to worry about that. Also as I assume you already know, I am not completely unemployed, I still have the job at Shittyplex. So that should provide a decent amount of gas money until I find more fulltime employment.

now, amidst all this overanalyzing in the week, and the bitterness of losing my job causeing my mood to not be stable, I actually managed to have some fun and even get good news. Well rather then describe everything in detail ill put it this way. Over the last 5 days I have not been without my dear brother Kyle, I have been at different levels of intoxication, and I have managed to have a fucking primo time just chillin like I did back in the day. If that weren’t enough, I received an acceptance letter from Conestoga College for their Industrial Electrical Technician program. This is nice, because I have something to fall back on if I happen to fail the math entrance exam for the Electronics Engineer program. Which I still have yet to study for or book a spot for.

well I think that’s all I need to say for now… I’ll be two decades old in less than 6 days.

I’ll try to keep you updated on the car, and the job search.

Prior is, as far as I know, the only temp agency that staffs RIM, unfortunately.

That said, wtf. How can someone who's never interacted with you say you're cut for such a reason?
