So I woke up this morning to the sound of birds chirping outside and my wife making breakfast and got a call from my employer informing me that they will no longer be requiring my services.
Yesterday was a mandatory work day because of the Super Bowl, but I don't work Sundays. I told my boss that, and he said no problem, and then today his boss called him and had him fire me for not coming in.
I contacted HR and was basically told tough luck because my boss is now covering his tail by denying that he gave me permission to miss.
So instead of relaxing with my wife on my day off, I've spent the last 9 hours picking up applications and applying for jobs online.
I'm actually ok with it. Pizza hut has become a race to run all the customers off before they figure out how to cut operating expenses down to 0. Between cuts in pay and product quality, the customers and the employees have been getting shafted for a good long time, and I didn't want to work there anyway. Also, the grapes were probably sour.
My wife is pretty stressed though because that was our main revenue stream. So, when you have a family, you do what you must. Hence the all day marathon of job hunting. To be followed tomorrow by the sequel, Unemployed in America, Day 2.
I know this doesn't have anything to do with martial arts, but it's been on me all day, and I really wanted to put it out there. Sorry for venting.
And thanks.
