Yeah, it kinda does suck, only because I can't watch videos or post as often now. I really didn't like working at Dawn Gibbs' office anymore. I liked my job, just not were I worked. They don't know how to treat people right. Okay here's the details.
A couple of weeks ago I was telling Barbara (the office manager) how people were getting pissed off that her and Dawn (the attorney) for not calling them back ever. Seriously, they don't call people back unless it has to do with money (them recieving, not them paying back). I was simply telling her that it makes everybody (mainly me) look really bad when they do these things. They'll (mostly Dawn) set appointments to meet with a client and then never show up when that client comes in (they're barely ever in the office).
Well, then Barb blew the fuck up on me. She was yelling about how if I didn't want to look bad then just quit. I'm the kind of person when I work some where, I want people to say "Yeah, that place is a really good place to go for (what ever service)", and was simply telling her this. I got my point across to her after about a half hour of her saying the same thing and taking everything I said as a personal attack. She eventually realized my point, or so I thought.
A couple of days later this big lady comes in and just walks in the door leading to the back of the office. I was like "WTF, you can't just walk back here like that, is there something I can help you with?" And she was like, "Oh no. Barb hired me to answer the phones part time." I thought that was kinda cool, I get to do my job with out the phone inturupting me every couple of minutes now and get more time to fuck around on the net.
Well, as weeks go by I realize that I'm still answering the phone just as much while this big lady (Jane) just sits around on her fat ass doing all kinds of little bullshit for Dawn while I'm still getting bitched at for missed calls and all kids of other stupid shit. I've been looking for another job for a couple of months past and now I'm looking even harder.
I go to the office, before I go to community service, last thursday to continue a case for the next day (Dawn was "not feeling well", which pretty much means she wants to spend the day just sitting around and going to get her hair/nails done and not working on anything, pretty much a two minimum, five a week max.). I lock up and go to do community service. I come back to the office to get a butterfinger that I had left at the office. I get there and to my suprise
there's nobody there. I put my key in the lock, no dice. WTF, my key worked earlier, I touch the key and get feel that oil that locksmiths put on when they install new locks. Confusion....... Barb knows that she could just ask me for my key if she was gonna fire me, it's not like there is anything in the office for me to steal. So I call her and tell her I can't get in and she says something about people using the dumpster to throw away swingsets (what's that have to do with the locks to the office?) and Dawn missing clothes and shoes from the back, she'll be there to let me in in the morning (I knew at this point that Barb was feeding me shit).
I get to the office friday morning ready to be fired. I was wearing clothes to go to community service (t-shirt, decent khakis [just in case I'm not fired], and Lavers) but have a nice shirt/tie and my work shoes in my bag. Barb starts asking me why I'm not dressed for work so I tell her that I was gonna ask if I could go to community service and that I have a feeling. She didn't say anything about my clothes after that and just proceeded to ask me a bunch of question (she has no idea how to deal with the criminal cases in that office, only bankruptcy) about what files were what and why they were where they where. I tell her, then she hands me an envelope telling me Dawn wanted me to read it. I read it, it's a bunch of
total and complete bullshit. It says stuff about me yelling at them in front of clients (BULLSHIT), telling clients that we don't want to handle their cases (BUUULLLLL-SHIT, why the fuck would I not want the office to make money? money>office>my paycheck) and that I've been giving Dawn's personal information to clients (WTF?!?!? BULLSHIT). It said other completly false shit and said that if I wanted to see Dawn about these reasons I could set up and appointment.
Barb tried to talk to me so I just sat there and tried my hardest not to cuss her lazy ass out. I just sit there and nod my head while she talks about how she'll help me get another job and blah, blah, blah. I just wanted to go to community service before I started to get pissed at all her bullshit lies and whatnot. Really, that was the best I've held my temper ever. Normally I would've blew the fuck up and started cussin and telling her everything that I had been holding back just to keep my job, but I didn't. That good. I'm learning control, control is always good.
So basically I'm happy I got fired. I can finish my community service with in the next two weeks unless I get picked for the jury duty thing and if I get picked for that I have a reason to tell Judge Wadell why I couldn't get it done on time. When I worked for her office I met an electrical contractor that told me if I ever needed a job to call him (we had an hour long conversation on my previous expierience (sp?) once and he gave me his number). All I have to do is find his number. During community service to other people (one is a deck builder the other works for some rich ass framing carpenter) and both told me they were hiring. I really loved electrical work so I'm probably gonna work hard to find his number. I could call Barb to get it, but I'd rather not. The only thing that sucks now is it's summer and I have no job. No job=no money. No money=no rent=I'll owe my mom back rent. No money=no new 32 that I was hoping on getting. No money=no going to the east coast tournie.
ABOUT FOOTBAG
Salvation Army is closed on wednesday so I got/get to go out and kick for a while. I'm getting closer to stringing stuff together. What I mean is I can strings stuff together but not in a reasonable amount of time. This might not be a good explination so I'll try it in Job's.
clip>op ATW>>>>>mirage>>>>>etc......
when it's supposed to be
clip>op ATW>mirage>etc.......
You got it? I can put tricks together now but not quickly. Too much of a pause. I'm getting the kick out from in between the clippers so that I can practice clip>op clip but it's taking some time. Now it's like every other clipper I throw in the inside kick. Old habits die hard, huh? I'll get it, it's cool.
@ Henry. I think I like that too.
@ Ken. Busted!!! 
. Only once though, but still, that's better than before I could do it. Other than that nothing really note worthy.
