Hey everyone, its been awhile hasn’t since my last journal? 6 months? anyways something very important event happen to me.

Q: really? whats going on?

Last tuesday something i never expected, after 9 years of working I was terminated at my job as a manager, at first I was suspended for 24 hours on monday night, then i get phone call that changed my life: “Frank, after much thought we decided its best to let you, please bring your store keys and come pick up your final check, we’ll see you later” i got this call as we were picking on my little brother from school. i was crushed with teary eyes and thoughts wonderied in my head...but...oddly my dad was happy and proud of me, at first i was he just doing it to cheer me up, later that day...i called everyone and it was same reaction....everyone wanna me to get outta that dead end job, including my mother, how do i know this...? at first I told my aunt on my mom’s side (shes like a second mom to me) me: “if mom was alive she beat the crap outta me” aunt: “no very much the opposite, she wanna you out, we all did. if anything Frank the only thing that she be dissapointed in is that the store is losing a great guy...” after a chat with all my friends and family...the next day followed, time to pick up my check: unfornatly the boss isn;t here, at first they didnt wanna give it to me, but by labor laws, they have to provide a check in 24 hours of temination, its been 36 hours now....so after a few phone calls in the store, my check was given to me, and what a paycheck it was, lets just say... i dont have to worry about money for sometime XP; after a chat with my one of my supervisors and other co-workers,,,everyone is pissed that im gone for the real reason, after telling everyone what happen to me and why i was fired, (and you’ll find out why too shortly) and they might leave too... because the boss is telling everyone lies: about my not following rules, and being lazing and not working...and every co-worker knew that was a lie...i caused a possible chain reaction, yay

Q: what? why were you fired?

now the reason why i was fired is a long, complex and rather unfair story: we have those papers called "projections", their like reports or guide telling me how much chicken at every hour to closing. and I don't use them, because their inaccurate, I was in trouble because I don't use these "projections" and not following the projections means no product for customers, yes thats half truth, but my argurment is the inaccutracity of the projections, their never right. i can follow them and we would have alot of leftover product at closing time and product that would be passing the expire time, (because you can only keep out on the heating cabiets for so long before it dries out and becomes uneatable) and the store can lose more money, and its all because im not following their ruies and procedures, now Im not saying I don’t follow all rulesk, just the one that i thought was very idoitic, every night i close we have little to no product, why? 9 years of experence, i know what customers want, and i was doing my very best to keep the store losing anymore money because i read a company e-mail saying if we dont make a certain amount of amount at the end of the year, they close our store down, and I didn;t want that to happen, so I took action into my own hands and for that I was fired, a lousy reason to be terminated? you decide


Q: so frank, what are you going to do now?

as of now...I wanna to take a week or so off, to clear my mind, spend time with my family and do things i haven;t done in so long...such as outings, playing so many games i couldn;t heck even drawing, (yes i might finally post something for a firckin change) reason why i wanna take this time because all my adult life i’ve spent working and helping others....to be honest i forgot what Frank wants... someone told me: I need to somehow find that and do what I can to make me happy rather then working a place that just a paycheck, especially if it treats you like crap, overworks you and underpaids you, ( i was only making $2.30 more then mininum after 9 years) with my expreince i think i can get another job fast, but what worries me is the economy in california, @_@:


not much else to say...it feels weird having all this free time now

EDIT: crap! my CSS header is gone >_< oh well...

until next time
