You cut the bitches open, stuff em full of hot peppers, vinegar, sea salt, water (and a few other personal incidentals) and throw ‘em in the freezer!
What a week, what a couple of months. Just as things finally started to come together I was blindsided at work with the reintroduction of “the Heroin Whore.”
The Heroin Whore is not your ordinary, every day type of whore – I mean, this bitch is the nastiest skankiest whore to ever slither out from the primordial ooze. She had cheated, lied to and stolen from my employers; endangered countless ex-employees lives, been convicted of Felony Welfare Fraud and is currently undergoing a multi-part felony trial which includes such gem charges as coercion, receipt of stolen goods, aiding and abetting, possession of narcotics, conspiracy to commit robbery, armed robbery, strong-armed robbery, resisting arrest, assault and battery and (my favorite) assault and battery of a police officer (I hear she’s single..er… her husband has 3 strikes with no hopes of getting out – EVER – any takers?) And yet, here I sit, perplexed and utterly confused as to WHY, in the name of all things unholy, I find myself in the position I am in.
Today, in an effort to clear the air, I made the mistake of approaching the owner (here in to be referred to as PIG VOMIT) in an effort to curtail the continued harassment and hostility that I have experienced by the hands of the Heroin Whore. As an employer, Pig Vomit has a LEGAL duty to ensure the safety and non-harassment of his employs and deal with any allegations of same immediately. He did. By telling ME to take a few days off and going on a tirade about what a piece of shit I am (um…apparently the 5 (yes 5) harassment suits that have been filed AND WON against him over the last 5-7 years have yet to teach him anything.) Oh, and he sided with the Heroin Whore and said that what she, and PIG VOMIT JR., had been doing was completely acceptable in his eyes. (Oh, did I fail to mention that during the course of her previous employment that she broke into the offices twice, ripped off all the computer equipment, rent monies and checks and broke into the restaurant next door stealing food and about $3,500 in cash that was in their safe?) So this leads me to believe that whatever she has on them it must be really good for PIG VOMIT to risk an iron clad lawsuit for harassment; i mean he DID just post an $8,500 bond to bail her whorish ass out of jail two days ago. (The rumors around town (yes my city IS THAT small) are that she is/was sleeping with one or both of them or her 4 month old baby is PIG VOMIT JR.’s – perhaps both *shudder*)
As much as I realize that this is TRULY a blessing in disguise and the powers that be are looking out for me I have to ask WHAT THE FUCK?! I’m trying to maintain a level head but every fiber of my being is screaming at me to take them down. From a spiritual standpoint I am trying to keep from “slipping into the darkside”; the Incredible Hulk put it best when he said “You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” From an emotional standpoint I just want to cry, not because I am sad, but out of sheer frustration and anger. From a professional standpoint I have called in the troops, am canvassing the internet and am throwing my resume out to anyone that will take a look; times are hard and I have a child to take care of so I can’t sit around and let my anger get the best of me. The rest of me wants to go voodoo on their asses (is there a CajunVegan/Psycho Hose Beast in the hose?) I guess we’ll see which side(s) win in the coming weeks…
To be continued…
I’m not evil. I’m … No, wait, I am evil.
Voodoo … it’s what I do.
Huge hugs honey! I am so sorry, getting fired sucks but I think in the long run you will be so much happier! You have been so unhappy and have needed to leave that negative environment for your physical and emotional well being!
I’m sure there is something wonderful and exciting waiting around the next corner!
XOXOXO
I am glad you are out of there. You should do what the law allows. But for you personally you should find a nice calm place to be. Not good to go into an interview with a lot of anger. They will ask you about what happened and at least for me, that always comes through. So make sure to come up with your “story”, practice it and find a happy state of mind to go to when you tell it. Unfortunately I have had to do that in the past few months and was super pissed at the old company.
But you will be ok. Do what you need with the old company but be sure to look forward and do the best you can for you and the spawn.
Glad you are out and hope the drama dies down a lot for you.
I am TECHNICALLY out of there already Miss Attitude. I was sent home for “a couple days” so I didn’t feel harassed and was basically told that I won’t have a job when that couple days is over. Stupid, stupid move on his part as that is just FURTHER harassment. I filed a right to sue with the Labor Board today, have started pulling together all of my documentation and will be filing a suit once I find something else. It’s not about the energy, it’s about the principal and the fact that they have been getting away with this behavior for too long. But first, I take care of ME
That is horrific! You are right your employer has a legal obligation to keep you safe at work and free from harassment, but I’m sure fighting that one is worth more energy than it’s worth. But I do like your Hulk-like mentality.
I think you are right, this is motivation to activate the troops.
I want you to get out of there as soon as you find something! I wish there was something I could do to help you. *hugs*
*big hugs* You know I’m here for you. Just a phone call away.
This happened to me.
Exactly. the. same. thing.
I was tossed out so hard I have scars from the road rash. It was a horrible horrible thing to happen to a very nice girl. As this is a horrible horrible thing to happen to you.
And? The economy was horrible. And? I had no family to help me. And? I could barely walk from my spinal cord injury that was worsening.
And?
It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wouldn’t know you if they hadn’t tossed me out. I would never have been a therapist, met my husband, and learned….
….that my precious hours and time are worth more than being treated like this.
(Of course, I spent about a decade imaging the painful death of each of the players in my fate. In the end, this world brought them greater pain and misery than I could have imagined. Such will be true for your boss.)
You know where you want to go. Get going.
I’m here for you.
Obviously you have your priorities in order (troops, resumes, canvasing, et. al.) so… I say get wit the voodoo too!!!
OK. First of all. I’m sorry this happened to you, but in a way I’m glad too — because you need to get away with this toxic environment (especially, because you are a mother and these people are draining you of all your spiritual energy). And you need that energy for your child. So wipe your hands on each other and — good riddance to THAT.
Now, be really mad at them for all of 12 hours. You have permission. Be angry with yourself for putting yourself in that position (you have 12 hours). Be angry with the situation. Then set it aside.
Yes, you are doing the right thing. ALL your effort should be in getting a new job, and filing for unemployment and taking care of you and your child. Promise yourself . . . I WILL NEVER ALLOW MYSELF TO BE IN SUCH A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT EVER AGAIN.
How do you do this?
1. Promise yourself that no matter how difficult it is, you will save 5%-10% of your income and set it aside as your “I’m NOT taking this fund”. When you have 4-6 months worth of expenses saved up, you are then in power and you can QUIT whatever job which turns toxic on your in the future.
2. Promise yourself when you interview for a job, you will NOT be desperate enough to take ANYTHING . . . you will make sure the environment is healthy and pleasant.
3. Promise yourself that THIS is your opportunity to make you life sooooo much better! AND DON’T LOOK BACK.
Leave those crazy-ass people to themselves. Don’t waste not ONE bit of energy getting back, getting even, getting involved with their crap. They are going to self-destruct . . . believe me on this . . . make sure you are far, far, far, far, far away when detonate.
You will be fine. Love and kisses
