Got fired for the first time in my life at damn near forty. Worthless place, with an even more worthless manager. Gonna work on some side stuff while applying for random shit. Don't really care about any of it at this point. If it all goes south by the end of the year, I'll just get on plane and fuck off for a bit. We'll see how it goes.

Hey Tigg, just so you know, you blew up my phone while I was in the hospital for my mom's surgery, like right as the Doc was laying down the law of what went down. It's like motherfuckin Dos Equis, you don't text me much, but when you do...

And to reveal a weird side of me, I'm slightly concerned about Slaughter, as he almost never has typos and shiz.

I got a job in furniture sales since I've been in furniture for the past thirteen years. I received a total of one day of training(i.e. followed the manager around while he helped customers) before being thrown out to fend for myself. I've never done sales, so I was expecting more training in that regard. The store is right next to a discount furniture store, so people usually leave to go there due to the price. The manager also does sales, and has been there for twenty years, so everyone just wants to deal with him. All online orders are directed to his email, so none of the other salespeople get any of those opportunities. He also undercuts everyone. He'll tell us we can only do a certain margin, then tell the customer he can do better, thereby stealing your sale/customer. Total shitshow. I had been there for two months, with no training, and the manager was expecting me to hit the same sales goals as people that have been there for years. The guy was absolute garbage as a person and a manager. If I was his boss, I would have fired him, but the owners only look at the numbers(which he is always leading in, because of his advantages).

So yeah, I was expecting to be fired by the end of the month, because I wasn't putting up with his bullshit. I've been applying elsewhere in the meantime, but haven't had any luck as of yet. Had one interview I bailed on because the place and interviewer were sketchy as hell. Had another that went well until, at the very end, the guy asked me how excited I was about the position on a scale of one to ten. I replied with a nine, because nothing's perfect, and I don't bullshit people. He said that's not good enough, so fuck that place too. I've got several other applications floating around, but don't have my hopes up for anything. I've got enough saved up that I can not worry about it for at least a year, which is why I said I'd fuck off at that point if I don't find anything.

Oh, shit. I originally read the post as "tired", not "fired". I was like "damn, gimme some of that energy".

People are fucking shitheads.

That douchebag needs an old fashioned ass beating. Jesus Christ.

Whilst getting fired, I would've tried to talk to the owners so I could out his ass for being a shit heel and undercutting sales.

The other salespeople bitch about him all the time to no effect. The owners don't care, which just exacerbates the problem. As long as they're making money, they don't give a fuck what he does. They're obviously not too bright, since if they had a good manager, everyone would be making more sales and, in turn, making them more money.

I don't see any. "Effect" is the proper word. "They're" is used properly. "Exacerbates" is spelled correctly.

"Since if", maybe...

In it a little bit so far, I can almost see where the Wes Anderson applies, but it's almost like it's mocking his douchey hipster-ness the way Mel Brooks used to brilliantly mock shit in the 70's. This really doesn't give a fuck about the content it's making fun of and I'm appreciating it greatly for it lol.

Maybe if it was more laid back, like at the end of the day I'll just get on cock and fuck off. But this necessitates specifics so I'm looking for him to get on a plane, a car, a train. A is for anal.
