As previously mentioned in the post work Nazi’s I was unhappy with certain policies and the pay scale. Well after one talk with my manager at that company she made sure I was fired, why you ask? Because I was right and they knew it.  I maintain that I was fired because of my jacket choice, and that they couldn’t prove to me that in their dress code there was anything against my jacket choice. It was just my manager being a total bitch.

After I was fired, I filed for unemployment, because rent was still going to be due. Now the state says that there is a waiting week that you cannot claim, I waited the week and I called them wondering when I was going to get any money from them. The Bitch I talked to couldn’t answer a simple question with a yes or no which is all I was looking for. I got really agitated and after screaming at her that she was a bitch and hung up on her. I calmed down a bit and got someone (who’s first language was English and didn’t think that she was a princess) to answer the very simple question very quickly. It turned out that I had to end up waiting not only the first week that you couldn’t claim but four more after that making it a total of five. I however did get money from them it just took for fucking ever.

I moved into my parent’s new rented house. They sold their old house because they didn’t want to take care of the pool anymore. The room I am in is nice, it’s larger than my old room in my parents’ old house. However it’s still a room and not an entire apartment. Some of my stuff is in storage, and my cat is adjusting to being in the house with two other cats. All together I suppose this is good for me, I just want to know how.

Being unemployed is not so bad, it’s just the lack of money coming in that really sucks ass. Well that and the bullshit you have to put up with while interviewing. I went thru more than my fair share of interviews that went very well that never went anywhere. But I believe that I ranted about that in a post already.

I interviewed for and got a new job that will hopefully work out this time. I have to say that lately I have had the worst luck with jobs either laying off or getting bought out and changing completely or just getting fired for bullshit. The new job I got has potential to be a really good thing. I started with a kinda new company that was formed by and split off of a very well known older company. It’s a call center again so I have to be prepared to deal with that but the current management and supervisors seem very supportive.

I interviewed with this company and it was an example driven type of interview. You know they ask you different questions like “give me an example of a time you had to deal with an Irate customer, and what was the outcome” I have had this kind of interview before so I was ready for it. That interview was with two women one was the manager of the call center and the other was one of the supervisors. After the interview I was told that I would hear from them within a few days. Well I didn’t hear from them in a few days instead they called me the following Monday and asked if I could come in for a second interview with the director of the call center. I said yes and made my appointment,  on the day I was to have the interview I got my suit out that I have worn maybe a total of three other times before. I got my hair did I shaved and moisturized my face took out my piercing’s put a tad bit of cologne on and got my resume printed out on good quality paper and put on my game face.

Well I guess all of that was worth it because the interview went well. I showed the director my brilliance by coming up with what he said was a “good answer” to the question “So you worked for Convergys too, what did you think of them?”

My first thought was damn I hated that place, but what I said was “They are a great company and I learned a lot from them but they weren’t the right fit for me.” He laughed a bit and then gave me that praise. After that the rest of the interview with him was a breeze. I heard the same afternoon that I got the job.

I am excited to be working for this company now because I am on the ground floor of a company that is doing a major expansion. I start out on level one but if it goes well there I might get chosen to go to the next level and after that if I am truly good which I hope to be I could get chosen for a special queue that can only lead to management and all of this is within a year or so.  I know the few of you who read this blog may not be praying people but please keep me in your happy thoughts for good job karma. I need some right now.

Wow this post has been long and there is a whole lot more but that’s all for now as I’m sure you are tired of me rambling on and on and on.
