Comment on Why Getting Fired is a Blessing by Epicnyx

Epicnyx — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:17:00 +0000

I’ve been fired several times.
(1) Once for being pregnant. During a layoff at Aladdin Mfg. I asked our manager about my layoff information. He told me he was firing me instead because I was pregnant and he thought I knew it when I started working there 2 months previously. Boy do I wish certain laws had been in place THEN.
(2) Job eliminated. Guess this wasn’t really being fired, but the company was going to close it’s doors. Made sense since they really didn’t know what the hell they were doing anyway. I’ve never seen 3 men more ignorant of how a TPA works in my life. Part of the reason they closed their doors though was somewhat my fault…I admit. After seeing one of the owners refuse to give some of our people any severance pay what-so-ever (for having work reduction they were being laidoff/let go) I DID make the conscious decision to stop trying to sell anything. These guys did more to piss off clients than to help them, so it was in my best interest to not have my reputation sullied further by their inability to comprehend the idea of building a “relationship”. They obviously thought they were still selling widgets and we should be order takers….morons.
(3) Fighting. Yup. Myself and spouse were working together at a company and on different shifts so one of us could be home with my 4 year old son. Hubby decided to start having an affair with one of our coworkers and she was coming to my house while I was at work. Needless to say, when I found out she and I had an altercation in a back ally (away from work). Of course, when someone ran to get the manager and he tried stepping between us…well, I slugged him too. The owner called me later that evening to tell me to turn in my uniforms. When I started asking why was it that both myself and husband were being fired yet the girl (oh, and I had gone to high school with her too) wasn’t, I was told “Well, she didn’t know he was married.” You are effing kidding me right? I’m like, she’s coming to my HOME. I have a 4 year old and my CLOTHES are in my BEDROOM.

All of the above turned out ok though. Each time I was able to move higher and higher with more opportunity for growth. The girl in question…well, she stayed there in that little podunk job and never developed any real marketable skills. That company eventually closed down. So I was pretty blessed though it sure didn’t feel that way at the time.

I would hate to lose my job now until I get somethings paid off, but since I work for a horse’s ass who seems to hold my age against me it could turn out to be a good thing. I’ve learned a lot in my years in the workforce….#1 is that I keep really good notes and I have enough saved to hire an attorney.

Inspiring read, and fun to boot.

You seem comfortable enough in your masculinity to have ignored the likes of “publius” and his ilk.

Nothing wrong with giving and getting friendly and funny grooming advice to and from other beard growers.

Comment on How and Why I Became a Vegan: My Journey to Feel Alive by CluelessGrad

CluelessGrad — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 03:09:00 +0000

Thanks for the comment. I’m excited to hear you are working at eating healthier, even if you’re not consider going vegan completely at the moment. I don’t have any specific resources about meals, expect The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham. This book details exactly what I eat today and the meals consist of huge amounts of fruit. You can also do a large leafy green salad and use freshly juiced mangos or strawberries as the dressing. That’s what I do and it’s what I recommend. I hope that works well for you!

Thank you so much for this, I am not considering becoming a vegetarian…ever… but I do want to eat really healthy, our body depends on what we feed it and the movie Food Inc. opened my eyes to all of the truths hidden from us. Though giving up meat for me is too much I’m currently making steps everyday that will benefit my body. I recently decided to try eating vegan meals atleast once a day with the green smoothie which I already doing. I was wondering if you had any other resources about meals?

Comment on How to Survive on a Low Budget by CluelessGrad

CluelessGrad — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:16:00 +0000

Great question James! Borrowing money is risky, regardless of its use. Borrowing on an investment property is like borrowing while investing in a 401(k), it’s counterproductive. You’ll end up paying interest while earning it. Also, property is a volatile investment, as seen by the recent housing market crash, which is why you should invest in cash for the long-term. Borrowing on a business is wildly risky and I never recommend it. Businesses should be built slowly over time. It’s safe and it forces you to get creative to build real capital instead of banking on borrowed cash you will have to pay back later. Businesses are never a guarantee. If you build a great business, you will have all the money you need from your paying customers. If you have an unsuccessful business, you will only have lost the money you invested instead of the tens of thousands of dollars you borrowed.

what about borrowing money to buy an investment property or borrowing to buy a business?
