bruh

I just realized another thing about my previous relationship. She literally was the one to jump on me saying to break up. She didn't even want to try and make it work. I was literally already being fucked with.

God. Damn. I just realized this from this post: Reddit post

She didn't even try to fight and be like "No, tell me what's wrong" or anything. Ho-ly shit.

Goddamn I got played like the Devil plays the goddamn fiddle in The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Son of a bitch. Literally hoodwinked. Goddamn. Man six years of the long con, maybe five if I was lucky. Maybe less, maybe more, but it wasn't any goddamn two weeks like she told me I'll tell you that much, fuck.

Standing on my own is so much better than leaning on someone for emotional and financial support, I'll say that much. Got a new $12/hr job and rolling better than ever now that I'm working Helpdesk and away from all the shitty druggies and overnights. Sure, the hours are still shit (2-11PM mostly) and I have to walk an hour and a half to work but fuck if I don't love my job. And you know what? I'm glad I don't have to share my happiness with fucking being required to support anyone. All I gotta do is pay bills and rent and I am GOOD. And my job is going to become part of the cable company I work for fairly soon, so I'll get bumped to $16-$18/hr.

I bet those feminine instincts to sniff out that "emotional support" -cough- money -cough- are really rilin' up now eh?

Suck it, I'm done with women forever. I am on the start of a very long but greatly successful road and I could not be happier with my life.

As it turns out, apparently the previous associate was super shit (and the hiring manger's in-law) and took the job for granted instead of working with the team (sleeping on the job, playing internet games during work hours, etc) and was with the company for 3 months because the admin of our team (a really super cool dude, love him) just kept giving him chances, thinking he would turn things around eventually. He was with the team for three months. Keep in mind this is a team of four people, including the shitbag. So finally the admin's boss (who also works in the same room as us, not sure how he didn't notice these things but he's a busy dude) noticed the guy's completes (how many people he walked through the software we support) were notoriously low after 3 months of being there. So he got fired.

That SAME DAY he got fired, I got an email from the Talent Manager (hiring manager, same guy), and he said he saw my resume. He left a phone number for me to call, and his signature was a very official looking image with an IT slogan on it. So I was like, fuck it, what's the worst that could happen, they'll say no? (keep in mind this same day happened to be the same day two weeks before that I put in my two weeks at Circle K because I was sick of potentially being stabbed every night by idiots I said no to for doing various things.)

So I called the guy and he gave me an on the spot phone interview, WINGED THAT SHIT, then got invited for an IN PERSON INTERVIEW the same day, (keep in mind I actually was still awake from my overnight shift at Circle K) at 3PM, then I went to sleep for a few hours and then hauled my ass down to the interview (walked), got there, I don't even remember what the fuck I said in the interview, but as soon as I left, I guess my now-admin's boss went into the room they were working in and told them they had a new employee, and told the talent manager as well that he liked me, (bruh, I was seriously falling asleep in the interview. I seriously do not remember what I said much less walking down there and doing the whole thing and walking back, going back to sleep, and then going back to work at Circle K that night, whole thing is a giant smudge of a memory to me) and the Talent Manager called me as soon as I got home (sat in my chair, my sister came in to talk to me about the interview, and then she pointed out "hey is your phone ringing?") and said I got the job.

So had a phone interview, in-person interview, fucking HIRED THE SAME DAY and now I have 3 people's hopes and dreams apparently riding on me: My co-worker's (because he trained me and is trying to become a team lead but to be honest he needs to learn how to let people ask questions, really likes the sound of his own voice... I will tell him as much later), my admin's boss's because the previous co-worker was shit, though I'm pretty sure at this point I'm 110% better than the last guy, and the Talent Manager's (whatever) hopes because he hired me.

Yeah, no pressure.

But tomorrow will be the real test. Today was supposed to be but all my appointment rescheduled for wayyyyyyyyy later so hopefully I actually get to do something tomorrow. If I don't, that's okay too I guess, no big deal. I was mildly disappointed I didn't get to do anything today though because the boss wouldn't really have been there for both, but he's going to be there for them tomorrow, and my trainer said that he might actually sit behind me and watch me take a call or even both of them, so FML.

Fuck I wasn't supposed to stay up this late. RIP getting up early probably. I should probably head to bed. But, yeah, it's been going really good for me so far. And it's only gonna keep getting better, I know it is.

I was thinking about the saying "Good things come to those who wait.", and, man I had to slog through some hard times and take a lot of risks to get to where I am today and everything just happened to fall into place. I was in the right place at the right time (and made the right call at the right time apparently) and it paid off.

Now to buy an Ethereum eventually and hope that investment pays off... I'm sad because I couldn't use my thirty dollars I moved to Coinbase to invest in more ETH, but had to move it back for food for work, because my CIRCLE K BOSS DIDN'T PUT IN MY VACATION AND SICK TIME SO I WOULD GET FUCKING PAID TODAY. I had to text HER boss and be like "Hey can I have my vacation and sick time pls". He said yup, pretty much, so it'll be paid out in 2-3 days. Hopefully he didn't not put in my vacation time too. I had to move two fucking bills today because that shit happened. Fucking idiots I swear to god. Not my fault you weren't constantly having some people flowing into the store to cover for people and shitting all over your workers for doing what the fuck they're supposed to be doing.

Whatever, it's over now. I'm going to sleep now though. Tomorrow is... well, let's just say our direct boss (not admin, his boss) is a bit eh... one of those bodybuilder nerd types that thinks way too much of himself so it might be a good or a bad day depending on what happens. I really wanted to type a call flow thing out but instead I typed this shit. Great use of your time bud. /facepalm
