Awesome, Marko! Free shit rocks!

I just got in from putting a little over a hundred miles on the new tires.

I rode 180 miles of interstate today. That was a blast.

This is it. The last of my 4 day weekend. It's been great. I have ZERO desire to go back to work. I fucking hate work.

One of the girls I used to work with just came by the house. She just got fired too. They did her the same way they did me. She's not had the first write up in three years, then 3 in two weeks....all bullshit. The three strikes you're out rule applied.

Sucks that the owners of this place that I first thought were good people are punting people out the door over bullshit that they should have never been written up for.

I also found out they're giving an employment reference of "not eligible for rehire" for everyone who's been fired or quit and may be why I haven't gotten a fucking job yet! Grrr....!!!!

All the contractors here at work were told they are getting a pay cut. Sucks for them but if it lets me keep my job AND current pay then so be it.

Dunno. That's what Becky, the girl who just got fired, told me. People have been calling for references and being told that whomever they're calling in reference to is not eligible for rehire. She knows a couple came in for me and a couple of others.

And the girl who got fired before me (she got fired at the beginning of January) is still waiting for her unemployment!

From what I could gather, between all who've been fired in the last six months are so (since the new central station manager was hired), we've all been done the same way. Model employees then 3 write ups back to back within a week or two...all bullshit. If they want to get rid of us that bad, fine. But don't make it difficult for us to get another job! Most of us have kids to support.

I'm getting really frustrated and stressed over all of this. I've even been putting apps in at convenience stores and little stores. I'll take just about any (legal) job as long as it's 40 hours a week, even at minimum wage. And for some reason I can't get past the first initial interview. Hell, I'll take 2 part time jobs...temporary jobs...anything to bring some money in.
