Lost my job at the gym on Tuesday. Had an interview today and two more tomorrow, even though it is a Saturday. Might be my shortest period of unemployment in my entire life.

You lost your job after you acted more like a manager than the manager?

What part of that doesn't make sense? Those sorts of people are petty and do things like this because they feel threatened.

If anyone wants to read a LONG, and I mean VERY LONG study, breakdown and look at company hierarchy — take a gander at the articles made by Venkatesh Rao entitled, "The Gervais Principle."

 

Which basically explains why most if not all Managers are fucking idiots, well... as Rao would put it, "Clueless."

I wish that were the case. However, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department served the gym with a levy of $1,140,210.40 for defaulting on a loan. They came in and removed almost every piece of equipment in the entire gym. Story is in the link:

the "Gym Closed" sign was written by me after being served with the papers that morning.

Found out tonight that my parents are finally getting another dog (our German Shepherd died about six years ago), a female husky. She's only a month old currently.

Will do, once they get it. They're not allowed to actually take her until she's two months old, for whatever legal reasons.

Got a call today that I'm finished with my training and should report to my original store tomorrow morning. Although I haven't completed any of my online work or filed my paperwork, they're rushing me in as complete because they need so much help. Hooray?

This was just IM B-Ball but it was pretty damn cool.

 

We just pulled off the greatest comeback I've ever been a part of. We were down 47-21 with 11 minutes left in the game, and proceeded to score 33 points in the final 11 minutes to win 54-52.

Puppies have to be with their mother up until they are 8 weeks. In some cases 9 weeks.

 

Glad to hear about the New pup man.

 

My good news: my favorite Hockey player got signed on for at least one more year.

I haven't intentionally hara-kiri'd myself on a steel rod at the factory I now work at. Considering it. :dry:
