So like my last entry, this one's gonna be a bit say... On June 6th, 2007 I got fired from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Yah I know fired...again. Lots of mixed emotions. And it was funnny because I was looking at my horoscope and here's what it said: Dammit can't find it. Anyway in brief summary what i got from it is I'm gonna be going thru a lot of emotions. I knw I alwas go thru emotions but this one said I'd be going thru more than usual. Not enough ot break a record but jus enoug hto send you crazy. HAHA and it kinda has been true I mean lets take this job for examble. I hated it. Yes I loved connecting with ppl and being a barista but I disliked a lot of ppol who worked there. A lot of the ppl I had grown o lve to work with had left and I was like the only cown in the cracker jack box. So in that case ya. And I did wanna leave. I even went around saying please just let me get fired so I can collect unemployment. HAHA but when it happened i was surprised. annd even tho I should have been jumping inside I was a lil surpised I guess. I don't even know ifsurprise is the right wrd to use in this situation but it was somethin along he lines of whoa what the hel jsut happened here. I know I had been wishin to get fired but I kinda was jokin. I honestly would rather have wanted to quit then get fired. How did it happen? I'm glad you asked. On the morning of today I went into work. Almost went in late but luckilJary had caught the bus I was supposed to and actually arrived early. So I went in, read some papers, laughed at the funny's and towards the back room I headed. I was checking up on e-mails to see if Ava shold have been tellling the staff anything when Jaymi came in. She either looked tired or sick either way she looked like she had been overworked. Poor dear. As she walked towards me I got out of the chair and started to get ready. As I came out of the bathroom she called me over and said "What's up?" "Jared I'm sorry I have to do this but I have to let you go. We have been checking the cameras and finding that you had been changing your clock in times twice." oh "If you want to take this up with anyone you're more than welcome." *BOOM* I was spiraling down with emotions. Part of me felt uberly happy while the other part felt a little sad. weird. sad? me? over a job that I wasn't all that fond of? WOW! As I collected my cd's and things and gave everyone a last godbye in the store, I heade out into the warm streets of waikiki overwhelmed with feelings of confusion among others. I texted everyone I knew and called others portrayin my story as if I was a beaten wife telling them what had happened. I got a lot of congrats and a lot of "So what are you gonna do now"-s. It hasn't hit me tho that i no longer have a job. I mean yah I know i got fired but I think my body still has this feeling of thinking it's going to get up for work tomorrow...when it's not. But i am a strong individual and I will find a way out of this. Hopefully my temp agency will call me for a job soon. and if not then I guess I just have to apply for other places. But til then wish me luck in ths game called life... |
