VP when you read this, how's your hand after the burn?
Thanks Wild.
I got all healthy stuff at the grocery store. I seem to have developed a really nasty chocolate/sugar addiction that I need to break.
And it's gross out. 24C/75F, which isn't too bad, but it's so humid (feels like 30C/86F), it feels like you could cut the air with a knife. I think the problem is, I keep my house like a freezer all winter, so this feels *really* hot to me. Bleh.

OK, so this was my weekend:
Friday night-took my mom out for her 60th birthday to a local pub(her choice, she wanted to go there). Had dinner, watched karaoke, got insanely drunk. We were given 2 bottles of free wine. I get a call from my boss(while I'm plastered) asking if I wanna come in and work Saturday. I say sure. Go home, pass out in bed.
Saturday-wake up with extreme hangover and I go down to my former job to get my paycheck. My mom came with me. I go in and ask for my paycheck. The fucker doesn't even come out and gives the check to the hostess. Now he told me I had to come back because he needed to include this weeks wages. Um, they weren't there. I go back there, and tell him that. He's like, "Oh yeah, you can come back and get your check Monday with the rest of your wages." So I asked him that not only does he fire me, he makes me come down again to get my check and tells me that I'm going to have to make another trip? He said he'd be happy to mail it to me. Before I left, I asked him to name specific reasons/incidents that led to me being fired. He said I just wasn't a team player. I said to him, "Why don't you call my boss at Outback and ask him what he thinks of me? Within 3 hours of you firing me, he hired me back. I'm working tonight. I must be a really bad team player then." He didn't know what to say to that.
I went to work. It was nowhere near as awkward as I thought it would be. I didn't tell anyone except my boss that I got fired. I just said things didn't work out. I don't need that shit getting around there. And he gave me his word he wouldn't tell anyone, not even my manager. It was a good night back. But in Boston, there was a water main break that affected my town and the town I work in. So we couldn't serve water or ice to our guests due to possible contamination. This is still going on. It made for a fun first night back.
I type out my whole weekend and all I get is ohai thar?

I keep missing Bri
I had a nightmare that we only had another 5 milliseconds in July
It was like 2005 all over again
Here's a fun fact: when you google "workplace discrimination" and "not a team player", you'll find posts, blog entries, and articles about competent workers who were fired based on some sort of discrimination. But, the reason given? Not a team player, lack of teamwork, etc.
