Jobless once again

Well, today was the first day at the new job and it also ended up being the last day. I got there this morning and the director of operations spent about half an hour telling me how bad it is to work for the owner/boss (who would be my direct boss). She told me how he was gay (which really doesn't matter to me) and that he doesn't tell anybody because if his parents found out they would cut him off and he'd lose his business (so one slip up could have cost everyone their job anyway).

During lunch (they were all forced to have lunch with me because it was my first day) they were telling stories of strip clubs and tattoos and drinking binges and the like. I completely felt like I shouldn't be there.

So, in the afternoon, I wrote out a letter of resignation. I wasn't sure if I was going to turn it in or not, so I went to the post office to mail a package after work and then returned to the office and slipped the notice under the door. They never even got my social security number, direct deposit information, W4, etc., so I felt it best to just cut bait now and not waste any more of their or my time.

So, now it is back to the drawing board!

Good call, sir. That is so ridiculous and unprofessional -- you would have been miserable at that place.

After reading the movie reviews, I guess I'll have to see Transformers. I loved the cartoon, too, and I was the kid on the block that only had Bumble Bee. Typically, Bay makes bad movies but I like The Rock and Armageddon even though I know I shouldn't. Sometimes you just want to be entertained with some action, you know?

Hope your mom is doing well! Cya
