Sorry to hear that oboeguy. I know how it feels and I sympathize. I just heard 750+ positions were declared surplus yesterday in my company. I hope none of them is mine. Anyways, update your resume, register for unemployment and enjoy your time off while you find another job. It's kinda refreshing how you now have plenty of time to enjoy yourself during the day and slowing life down to check it out to enjoy it better. Good luck in the job hunt. BTW, you might want to describe what you do in case any BF'ers hear of anything.
Always listen to the voice in your head telling you something's wrong. Like today, I ignored the voice telling me something was wrong before I left. I thought it was telling me to wear a helmet so I ignored it. And of course, I got tapped on the elbow by a cab's side mirror on the way in. When I say tapped, I literally mean the gentlest of all taps. My elbow didn't even hurt and I only noticed it cuz I was wearing just a t-shirt so nothing to pad me out. And we were coming to a stop. So I knocked on the dude's window, yelled that he hit me cuz he didn't roll the window down, he ignored me for a bit then said something I couldn't hear that looked like a denial. And get this, when I rapped on the window, the backseat passenger threw her arms up in frustration like I was keeping her from being somewhere. I was angrier at her than I was at him, the stupid, entitled b!tch. Anyways, I made a big show of getting his hack no. so I could report him, smiled at him the smile that says, "You're screwed dude!" and rode off.
When I got to work, I called 311 and found that if I filed a report, I'd have to come in for a complaint hearing to testify about what happened. Since I only got the gentlest of taps and feel I got off lucky, I'm not gonna pursue it. Now if what happened to Slvoid happened to me, I'd pursue it, but since no harm was done, I'm not gonna bother. Yeah, yeah, I know, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, the next person might not be so lucky, etc., but realistically, if I walk in w/ no evidence of harm, and no witnesses, it's his word against mine.
BTW, I figured out what that voice was trying to tell me before I left. It was trying to tell me that my shoes don't match! I have a black
pr. and brown
pr. of the same model shoe. I put one black and one brown on and now I have to spend the rest of the day walking around like an idiot.
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!!!
