More McDonalds for My Brain
I had a REALLY bad day at work the other day...
I was still feeling terrible about it...My boss (soon to be ex-boss) was, I think, as horrible to me as anyone has ever been. I cried infront of him (a nasty nasty butcher), his response was to swear at me...He was mean mean mean for like 45 mins straight. He fired me about three times then said he would see me on wednesday. I was torturing myself by imagining all my workmates laughing about it (why do people do that to themselves???),
Anyway then I got a text from my workmate Cate. She is like 20 years older than me but we click so well. I like her heaps...she said
"Hey Ribena (work nickname)! I am so sorry X was such a (insert very bad word here ) to you. He had a go at me today and I quit. Amy was sorry for you too but she didnt feel she should ring you. Hope you are ok"
Man what a warm fuzzy I have...it was almost worth the first incident. It's funny how much people can make things so much better...just with words. Made me think of the power of words...the boss' words induced hysterical crying (dont worry, not infront of him...my eyes just leaked until i left) and yet Cate's words made me feel loved and stoked on people. Truthfully, in the long run, I think hers had more power.
food for thought anyway.

1. as an added bonus isnt it sometimes so nice to have non-christian friends who can name call someone exactly what you want to???And not feel bad about it?!
2. Amy is also an awesome lady
3. Anyone know of any jobs going?

Word on the street is that in NZ employers can't treat you like that and can't just fire you. They need to give you verbal and written warnings.
If you go to an employment advocate and tell them your story you might find you have a case.
I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad day...
Sounds like your ex-boss is a real tin-pot dictator.

He is a total drop kick. I did go back...until I get another job. He is well aware of that. I am tempted to get him for all his dodgy goings on but in a way I feel like it would just be revenge for me.
It was cool though because when I went back everyone was completely on my side and really mad at him. I will leave...but him being like that is not going to put me in poverty for a few weeks!
America sounds good...but they don't let foreigners in there do they?? hehe

Well, he should just hire ME. *nyuck nyuck*
That'd teach him!
I'd... um... work for him, and... get paid.
Heck, at least I'd pay back some of my Student Loan. That'd show him... with victory inside my heart!
p.s. where is the missing bloooog, we are lost when a piece of the puzzle is incomplete. My latenight surfings feel so lop-sided.
p.p.s. It's not the U.S. where they don't let people in, that's Denmark. Just ask any Danish person who has been on holiday for too long.
