Sooo....anyway..it has been a nice run on here. Ive met alot of awesome people through here and met some other not so awesome people at the same time.

As a few of you know, I got fired a few days ago from my job. Basically what happened is that a coworker/manager by default (owners son) is 21 going on 22 and was talking to a 14 year old (8th grader). Well before i started working one of our locations, we had close to a $400 drawer shortage. When it was "finally" discovered a few months ago, due to the fact that my owners son didnt do his bookkeeping responsibilities, we both agreed not to tell his dad about the shortage until we got it caught back up. Anyway, last week he got busted by the 14 year old for lying about some completely retarded shit and due to me not siding with HIM, he tells his dad that "our drawers ~$140 short. Steven just bought a new laptop...blah blah blah". Well the week before, i had to run the store since he went on vacation. I come in last friday to work and his dad bitches me out saying that If i didnt like my job to go ahead and quit because he didnt like theives and liars working for his company. I have NEVER taken shit from the company and have gone above and beyond to help them (104 mile round trip drive UNCOMPED FOR GAS) when i was working 5 minutes from my house originally. So i get told by owner that hes going to reveiw security tapes at which point i calmly say "feel free too...theres nothing on them that will incriminate me on anything and if you are going to fire me, i will go ahead and pack my stuff and clean my desk". Monday, i get a phone call saying that he isnt holding me responsible for the missing cash since his son fucked up and the drawers been short before. Even after he blatently accused me of stealing fromt he company, he offered no apology after he found out that it wasnt me. Needless to say, i really didnt feel like being there anymore. Tuesday, i came down with a really nasty sinus infection and went to the doctor on wednesday since i couldnt breathe and felt like shit. I told my owner wedendsay morning that i was taking the rest of wednesday and thursday off since the DR gave me two shots and i felt like ass (atleast my sinuses were getting better). When i tell him this, he told me that if i did feel better, go to my buford store (the 52 mile one way trip) and if i didnt, that was fine, just show up friday to lawrenceville. Thursday rolls around and i went to go run some errands and go with cramerisking on here to go get his car registered. 3" straight exhaust FTW. Anyway, i get back and my girlfriends mom calls me saying that my coworker told her i got fired (she works 2 doors down from us in the same strip). I IMMEDIATELY call my owner and he makes up some shit about how since i was "no call no show" he couldnt depend on me anymore and that "you arent B&D material" even though i was 2nd in sales in the entire company (only behind my service manager who has 6 corporate accounts) and tells me that im fired.

Ive been wanting to get out of that hellhole for a while since its owned by bible beating hypocritical ass christians and ran like shit and they have no customer service ethics so now ive actually got motivation to move on.

As even fewer of you know, my senior year i aced not only the preASVAB but aced the real asvab as well. The ONLY thing that kept me from going military was knowing that i was going to leave my sister and family behind. The last two weeks however though, ive been working out a lot more than what i have (dropped 18 pounds ) and i have gotten back in touch with one of my old recruiters and he works at MEPS now so now ive got an appointment in three weeks to go retake my physical and they want me to retake the REAL asvab test again. Basically if i make over a 90 percentile, i can get intel assignments.

Right now im just frustrated alot in the fact i keep working for shitty ass companys and not getting anywhere in them when im ALWAYS first or second in sales. The military option makes things look a bit brighter right now other than getting shot at. If i dont have another job in two weeks, i will be getting a shipout date shortly there after.


So hopefully this answers a few of your guys questions as to why i havent been on alot lately. If you havent noticed, thats fine also, im just getting tired of 10 PM's a day of "where the hell you been?"


After i figure out what the hell im doing with my life again, ill come back (hopefully soon).


Im going to miss you guys and what not.




Thanks for all the memories
