Prepare

So this shit I been seeing on the news is for real. Just the other day I was watching shit on TV saying to the O.G that this is all over dramatized bullshit. Well I never really used those words in front of the O.G... But as I was saying. – I really don’t think the credit crunch is as bad they make it out to be. I thought, yeah! thank fuck I don’t work in the banking sector! and I’m not saying that cause I don’t like numbers, but those poor numerical nerds were all getting sacked left, right and centre... Ha Ha that’ll teach me. I started realising maybe this is genuinely happening when I heard of like 3 people in a week get either retrenched or their company going bust. It’s always a little more serious when its close to home, you really know people that are being affected. I should’ve started to suspect things were becoming fishy when I wasn’t paid on time. It took me like 9 days to get my salary. And I was fucked ff about that, now I am doubly fucked off... well not really. But believe for dramatic effect. Then today and email starts flying around about overtime and cabs and all kinds of cost-cutting crap. Ric and I had an awesome dinner tonight, and for dessert ..... I got terminated. Perfect timing actually... I mean the phone call. Atleast I got to enjoy my dinner, you just don’t want mother fuckers phoning you whilst you’re eating, and especially if they are about to tell you no longer have a job. I think I took it kinda well. Apparently I am a valued member of the work force, and they look forward to working with me in the future (cough, Bullshit!). I now wonder if I was actually speaking to a recorded message (I have been caught like this before), it was so generic, it was like the words were being read off a cheap recycled page. I like to think they were carefully constructed meaningful cue cards that were printed on really nice paper with a great design and a silver font, no wait GOLD font, I sincerely hope they were. NO actually, If they were on nice paper, what the fuck are they thinking ! Save save save, Not! Retrench retrench retrench. Well after the call comes the shock. What just happened? I just had a great dinner !!! Mmm fajitas... No wait I think I was just told to fuck off - I couldn’t help but laugh. Side note > Over the last 2 weeks I have been working like 18 hour days. I have now got used to it. So this morning I woke up with a zest for life and an extreme version of ambition to go to my shitty work and be the best I can be. Well. I only had to do it for one day. Thank fuck thats over.... I’m talking about the hard work, not going to work... <> I think I was actually happy this happened. And I still am, kinda. Although there is never a good time to lose a job, unless you’re getting married & Have a kid on the way and have mortgage to pay (Then its really bad). I have all three. What the fuck am I gonna do.... Actually wait. I don’t have anything to worry about other that putting a roof over my head and supporting a rather industrial drinking habit. So its not that bad. If I calculate correctly I can actually do quite well, I’ll manage to drink a case of super strong 10% cider everyday for a month (without eating obviously) and still pay for my room. Wait here while I go to the off licence..... With all things considered, I haven’t really budgeted for the hospital fees, so my plan is flawed. So I guess its a whole new chapter, I would like to think that I am a positive person which is a good thing in this situation (see, I am even being positive about being positive. I must be positive). I will look upon this as the anomaly that is life and it’ll have to be one of those curve balls you duck and weave. By the general tone of this little rant I don’t appear to be that fussed unless I am masking some deep inner turmoil and I might kill myself by masturbation . I have tried that before... HA HA. (Even I find that funny, and I’m normally quite polite). Okay I admit. I was supposed to be talking about a very serious matter but I can’t, its a little to surreal at the mo. At the end of the day its just gonna be fun finding something else, as long as I can get a pay increase, have a two week holiday and go to a better job. I guess all this emotional turmoil will be worth it and then you wouldn’t have to listen to me trying to preach to you....
