I got fired today. No, no details. Just that I am curiously relieved and looking forward to nights with more than 4 hours of sleep.

No more half-past midnight alarm clocks.

No more 400lb engines without a pallet jack.

No more freezing in winter, 150 degree trailers in summer.

No more liftgates that don't work.

Looking for a new driving job. Looking for anything else.

I have some stopgap stuff for now.

Buy my books. Buy my etsy stuff.

*sends loads of hugs*

My SO-SO got laid off Wednesday, and she's been at our house ever since.

I'm very sorry to hear this, but maybe it means there's something better out there just waiting for you.

1 - There's got to be something better out there for ya. I can't believe that these things don't happen for a reason. And you've complained at times about your job...

2 - Some tinfoil - might want to contact the EEOC and make sure that they can ascertain that you weren't fired by some well-meaning person who found out you are of a "non-standard" faith. It sucks that at-will employment exists. Used to be they'd have to give a good reason...

It was for cause. I failed a drug test.
I took some prescription painkillers over the weekend, and they weren't MY prescription. (They were Obi's) So, yeah.

Aww crap. I didn't want you to have to reveal that to everybody just wanted to make sure all the bases were covered. I'm sorry! :-(
