The diary of an unplaced worker
Monday
What a relief not to have to clock in this morning, my first morning of freedom in 7 years. I couldn’t stand that place any more. 7 years of bowing and kowtowing to my idiot boss, 7 years of drinking that stuff they call coffee, 7 years of doing those stupid insurance calculations over and over again and then fighting over every number. The paper I produced! I can tell them what to do with all that paper!
Ah, it’s great to be free of all that, not to put a tie on in the morning, to be able to breathe in fresh uninsured air and to drink a decent cup of coffee. Boy, I sure told those guys what I thought of them. You should have seen the manager’s face when he walked into the room in the middle of my speech!
Money? I can always contact that Personal Money Store and call around to pick up the proceeds of a few Short Term Loans until my new job kicks in.
Tuesday
I’ll plan my day better today. Yesterday my head was still in a mess from my hysterical outburst on Friday. Guess I’ll have to make my own lunch today. Then I’ll go buy a newspaper and start looking at the wanted ads.
Wednesday
I wonder how Ben is doing? Think he’s moved into my office and sitting in my tilt-back chair? I’m surprised no one from the office has called me. Pretty thin column of want ads in yesterday’s paper. I guess Wednesdays are better.
Thursday
Today’s want ads are better but there are still only 5 jobs listed. None in the insurance industry. That’s amazing.
Friday
Think I’ll go to O’Sullivan’s Bar at 5 this afternoon and see all the guys from the office. And the girls. I miss Carol from Accounting and Diane from Logistics. I could always count on one of them for fun. And Sophie from the mailroom. Haven’t thought about her in ages. I wonder if she still…
Saturday
I should have gone to O’Sullivan’s yesterday. I don’t understand why I got cold feet at the last minute. Not a single want ad in today’s paper.
Sunday
No news. I stayed in bed all day. It was raining anyway. No want ads.
Monday
It’s a week already. I’ll go online to the Personal Money Store after lunch. At least they’ll be pleased to hear from me and grab the chance of doing some business. 3 ads, all for technicians.
Tuesday
I can’t believe that the first question those money lenders asked me was the name of my employer. Why would I be knocking on their door if I had an employer? 5 ads, 3 for technicians, one for a housekeeper and one for a gardener. I could garden I suppose…
Wednesday
1 ad. Plumber’s assistant. I’m thinking about writing a letter to my old boss telling him that I have reconsidered my position and am withdrawing my resignation and will he please tell me which day to report for work. I will add that it had never really been my intention to resign. I just blew a fuse.
Thursday
I wrote the letter and mailed it. How long do you think it will take for the reply to arrive?
If you have the bankroll to tell your boss to shove off is a predicament most people would love to be in, but very few are. If I ever win the lottery, I’ll still go to work. Think about it: if you have everything you need or want, what power would anyone have over you?
With the financial crisis that is going on, it’ll be better to look for a new job while you are still employed to avoid the predicament you experienced. I know it’s not easy but you just have to deal with it.
I just did the same thing. I quit! I quit! I quit! I could not afford do this but did it anyway. God will provide. No one should be subjected to mistreatment on any job. Their behavior where I was employed was not professional for a law firm.
