What the Blog

For those of you wondering what "FML" stands for, its an acronym for Fuck My Life. Many times over the past year I have used FML because 2008 sucks. Family owned business is no more. Hilton Head is no more. Cold weather is here to stay and so is the shitty luck.

I was fired today. I was not fired for being late. I was not fired for failing to do my job. I was not fired for being an asshole to customers.

I was fired for bad handwriting, for answering the phone on the first ring, and for not lying to a customer.

My former boss refused to get with the age of computers and did not like my handwriting while filling out the checkbook & invoices, which is a sight better than his left handed chicken scratch.

My former boss believes that by answering the phone on the first ring, I am portraying that we are desperate for business.....hmmm the economy sucks, I am good at customer service and I have always answered a phone, any phone, on the first ring.

My former boss also believes that when a customer decides they cannot afford 2 grand to rebuild their transmission then we should tell them that its in an acid bath already and convince them they have no choice, I told this person I did not know where we were at with the truck and would get back to them, its fucking insane.

Then as I am in my car, backing up to leave he comes outside, I am clearly crying because I just got fucking fired, and he told me that I could keep my job, if I would take a two dollar pay cut. I worked 50 hours a week for him for 550, and he wants to drop my pay basically to 400 bucks a week. Fuck that, now I know why I got fired, cause he doesnt want to pay me what he agreed to pay me, that is without over time of course....So I can keep this position by killing myself, or I can work 1/2 the hours at a restaurant and make more, so job hunting here I come.

Like I said FML

Oh and by the way, rommie is broke, we have no food, and life generally sucks all the way around.

Merry Fucking Christmas to me.
