a simple update The company I work for during the day (small business, two owners, one store) fired one of my favorite co-workers this afternoon. I walked into the break room to ask him a question and he was sitting with our HR person, with a rather sick look on his face. A few minutes later, I passed him as he was leaving the building (an hour before his shift normally ends) and the same look was still there. He was basically being followed out by our HR person so I did not ask what was going on at the time. No drama for me, thanks. I am more than just a little bummed by this. Not only was this guy pretty much my favorite co-worker, he also seemed to be making real progress in the areas he was in charge of. Granted, he wasn’t very good at supervising the guys he was in charge of, but I doubt that can be the reason he was let go. Until I talk with him, I may never know, because chances are they’ll give us some vague reason for his dismissal to avoid having anything used against them if they are sued. I seriously wish the guy well and hope to see him again soon. His was one of the couches I was crashing on from time to time, so now I will have to come up with an alternative to compensate for that. Being an introverted, antisocial guy with almost no friends makes that rather difficult, but I’ll manage. This weekend, I will be working with my girlfriend on a job that is connected to her business, but that will hopefully be it. Searching for a place to live will probably be in there somewhere, as will an aerial dance performance on Saturday evening. I picked up a flyer from a troupe that was charging $5 a ticket for an upcoming show so I purchased ten of them and handed them out to co-workers, and the people who make my coffee on a regular basis. The guy that got fired today has a ticket – I wonder if he’ll go? That might be awkward, but he seems like the kind of fellow that wouldn’t shy away just because of that. I guess I’ll find out on Saturday. I will be going to get a tattoo next week. One of the new hires has half an arm covered with very nice work and he says the lady who does it for him has a soft touch. As I have yet to experience the needle, even for a brief moment, I have no real idea of what to expect, I just know it’s painful. To what degree it is, and to what degree I can tough it out, remains to be seen. So, an artist with a soft touch sounds pretty appealing right now. This may be the beginning of much body art to come, or it may be one of the very few I can manage to survive, but I am at least getting one. Next month I turn 40, and want to get tattoos while my body still looks good. Tonight I will be working on a new song, and maybe answering a few emails, but that’s about it. I am tired and usually ready for bed by 8pm these days, which is just ridiculous. I must be getting old. |
