OT - I am so screwed
A mosquito, thermo-nuclear Michigan sized, just landed on my desk, next to a spilled drop of coffee, and promptly drank up the entire drop.
I now have a hyper-caffinated giant mosquito attacking my head, and I am so, so screwed. I will probably go home today in hypovolemic shock.
so I'm not too worried about the implications within this particular employer. However, I'm really looking forward to answering, "yeah, I canned," to all future employers. THAT'll help my chances, that's for sure...
Wow. Read Blazefire and The Fannman's posts again and ask yourself "what is the likelihood of anything good coming from my sacrifice?" I realize the dynamics and politics of the workplace are a factor, but you should think about getting the right people on your side and fighting this one - or you may pay dearly for someone else's mistake.
Remember, years down the road as people and positions change, there may be no one to remember the context of the situation. The paperwork will probably not say, "Reason for termination: Blue in South Bend is a hell of a worker but took the fall for H.R. Fuckup, Jr's huge ass clerical error." This is especially true when H.R. Fuckup Jr. is the one who fills out the paperwork.
You should at least ask about these issues and you definitely deserve a better explanation than "something about a paperwork screw-up."
Ok, just read that it's not long-term. However, it's still something that can follow you - especially, if you are seeking certain professional careers.
Those centipede pictures are going to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.
If it has more legs than a dog, it must be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, it must die.
That "You know what 2:30 in the afternoon feels like?" guy for 5-Hour Energy seriously needs to be punched in the face.
He needs to be beaten senseless with the same whiffle ball bat we're going to use on the idiot that comes up with the Little Caesars Dumbass Daddy commercials. You know, the idiot that can't remember side orders and thinks he can feed his family with a $5 Hot and Ready.
