why won't they leave me alone?
- Thread starter bigginsis
- Start date
all this and an upper decker are justifiably in order.binary visions said:Correction. Nothing says goodbye better than a plate of missed deadlines, with repeated emails and phone call reassurances that everything is under control and nobody should worry
Bring in a DVD player or a playstation. With some big speakers
You should also take a dump in this bitchy woman's purse before you leave...
is there a name for that?
Yes, I like to refer to it as "justice".jmvar said:
First thing to understand about jobs: don't take it personally. Considering we spend most of our time working, the people you work with are not your friends. When I was fired in the past, 99.9% of my ex-coworkers never contacted me to see how I was doing (and I took getting fired as hard as anyone).bigginsis said:
First of all, fvck the people you work with. If they don't like you and want you gone, they can go to hell. I am a confrontational person, so in your situation I would give your co-workers stare downs, smart-ass comments, etc.
For you, first of all I would drop your "feeling sorry for yourself" attitude, at least at work. Not to be harsh, but no one cares about you at your workplace, otherwise they would not have let you go. Also, you do not want to give any satisifaction to the people who did want you gone.
Secondly, I do not recommend any revenge schemes, like a computer virus or property destruction. I hate when people tell me "don't burn your bridges" (anyone who has said that is a kiss-ass), but there is karmic value in just ending your job cleanly. I have done it that way, and I have no complaints.
Finally, I would not do another thing at your job. The next person to ask you something, even to pick up a pencil, I would say, "Sorry, I can't help you." If they complain, just say with a smile, "What are you going to do, fire me?".
i have stopped feeling sorry for myself. i realized yesterday that if that is how they feel about me, then that's their stupidity. besides, it's not like they are the best administrators in the world and i have tons of leads - getting "not renewed" by this director has actually made me MORE popular because everyone else thinks i'm good at what i do and so the bad guys really look like bad guys now.
at any rate, cassandra is leaving today - she took another job - so when i give MY notice they will be two faculty members in the hole. sucks for them.
i'm not big on seeking revenge simply because i believe in karma and why kill my vibe to make them suffer? and the truth of it is that the best thing i can do is to keep showing up - they hate seeing me here. they will get theirs.
here's to payday, Friday and a weekend of beer drinking and celebrating my freedom from this piece of crap job!

You would think after what happened to your Bro, it wouldnt take that long :eviltongubigginsis said:
Look what that froker gets to do now! I bet he is working real hard today fishing or something
i actually thought a lot about my brother when this all happened - gives you a whole different perspective on things.Mtb_Rob_FL said:You would think after what happened to your Bro, it wouldnt take that long :eviltongu

biggins is just one lucky MF - i can't imagine how bad it would be to have to float around and fish all day... :angry:

Where/what is your new job?
Mtb_Rob_FL said:
Also, will your new job still provide you with enough income to afford your pool boy?!
i'm still going to be at ecu but i will be working with the institutional review board overseeing human clinical trials. it's a sweet deal but i won't be a librarian anymore!
good for you, but that kind of ruins the whole Librarian fantasybigginsis said:
Damn, I was in the ECU library when I visited last month. I knew you were a librarian but forgot you worked right at ECU - should have stopped in to say hi to a fellowbigginsis said:
if you were working that day!
that would have been awesome!! i'm still here, just in a different way. and if anyone you know starts talking about working at the medical library here at ecu tell them to run far away.binary visions said:Damn, I was in the ECU library when I visited last month.

as to the question about the pool boy, my stuff's so good he's started paying ME. :devil: :devil:

Maybe you can show my girlfriend and me the good bars and places to hang out when we get down there this August!
Didn't your bro' just go thru something simular to this, at a hate-life job and got screw'd, now at a dream job lovin' life?
Imagine the fun that this could lead to if you were evil.bigginsis said:

Seriously - let me know and I'd be glad to show you both around - there's some cool places around town and this is the only place int he world were 10th street actually meets and merges with 5th street. Not much planning done when they paved.
And if you're really good, maybe I'll show you where the BMXrs live.
