Well January did not end off being a month to remember. Really looking forward to an awesome start to the new year. I started it with having a five day vacation from work. I was using the time to catch up on Skyrim and get away from work altogether.
So I come back from work on January 5. For the first time in a while is actually excited to be back working. Started off well, until I went to lunch. I not getting it really into detail about it. Pretty much I aid got fired the next day. If you want to know what happens his link to the blog.
For about a week and a half I was in utter shock and completely numb. I just had no strength at all to look for another job. I ended up sleeping most of the time. Thankfully, I have some really great friends an awesome wife that help me through the depression of losing a job the way I did. I don't know what I would've done without them, I deftly want to thank the people that have been helpful. Thank you very very much, I very much appreciate it.
Well when I finally did get strength find a job again I decided enough was enough I just could not do retail more. So I decided to go look into a career that I have been wanting to do my whole life and that was be working in a restaurant as a cook. So I applied to Dave and Busters as a line cook. I believe I applied on January 10.I went in on January 12 and I spoke with Chris the kitchen manager. I believe it went pretty well. he said he would contact me on January 17 and tell me if I had gotten the job. Well, the 17th came and went and no call for them. I called the next two days but he was not there. So I am going in there on the 19 and spoke with him again. He offered me the job as a line cook. It really didn't hit me yet that I had gone the job seeing as I was so numb the whole last two weeks. But I was just relieved to finally have a job I guess. So I ended up going out on that Friday with Tom, Jess, and Melissa Wright. We ended up going to blue 22 for few drinks. Then next day I went out with John, Dwayne, my wife Melissa,and Ian to Dave and Buster's. Is a good time.
So I had my orientation on the 23rd. But due to the fact I was not in the system yet I did not officially start until Monday, January 30. All in all I think I'm really going to like this job. I'm just getting glad I don't have to deal with the general public again.
So here's hoping that February will be 100 times better. I also ended up doing a mood tracker thing for the month January. Of the 31 days in January, 14 days I was happy, five days okay,and 12 days I was unhappy,
I will be doing this for every month I will also put a video up of the most played song of that month. So here it is

Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye 8/98-1/12
I know its been awhile since Ive done a blog but I recently just got fired from my job at Target . I tell you how it happened. I just got back from having a nice 5 days off. I really needed them. I was excited to go back to work. The last 3 months had been really frustrating. I was dealing with getting over losing a really good friend at work. Her name was Jennifer Soucy, but I'll go into that another time. So I go into work on Thursday January 5th. I see well I am painting the pizza's (pizza hut term of preparing the pizza's) i see that my team had panned too much dough. So i saw that I would have to throw away like 45 pans of pizza dough. So I really did have enough money to buy myself anything so I made my self a buffalo and bacon pizza for myself. I go into the break room to eat it and then My STL (Store Team Lead) came in and saw me eating it and he got all mad cause I didn't make him one. So he is like did you pay for that and I kinda panicked and said yea. But he still would not let it be and he was like were is your receipt and was like I throw it away. And he still kept going on about it and was like I think we may have to look at the camera's to see if you really did. I was like Ok go ahead. So i go in the next day thinking everything is cool and stuff. On my way to go upstairs to the food court for lunch the AP Ex. tells me that Don (the STL) wanted to talk to me. So I was like ok. So I follow Hal into Don's office. He wanted to see me about what happened on Thursday about the pizza that I said that I paid for. He said that they looked on the camera and saw that I didn't pay for it. So I finally broke down and said that I didn't and said that I would pay for it. But they said that it was late and that they had to go to their "partners" whatever the hell that meant.He also told me that their was a rumor going around that me and Jennifer were dating. Of course I was still numb to the fact that I was probably going to get fired that I really couldn't denied it. All I said is that I would rather be a Bruins fan then date that stupid bitch. so I got upstairs for my lunch. I know that I'm done for. I didn't eat anything on my lunch. I go back to work after my lunch but I was just totally to numb to really do anything. Around 230ish I tell my team member that I am going to the bathroom. I was really going to go see what the verdict was on my job. On my way to the bathroom Hal meets me and said that a decision has been made. So I walk with him to Don's Office. I walk in and see the envelope on his desk and im like yea Im done. I have been fired before so yea. So I just broke down. I had told myself that i was going to commit suicide if I had lost this job. I really liked it there and I really wanted to retire with Target. So I cool down and left. I just hung out around the mall for like 3 hours. I was just so Numb. I called and texted a few people and told them. The next few days I just was depressed to do anything. I really did want to end it all. I was just so sick and tired of not being able to keep and hold a job. I just felt like such I horrible husband to Melissa. I felt like she could do so much better then me. Give her everything that she deserves that I clearly could not.
So finally I got the strength to go look for a job and I applied at Dave and Busters in Braintree as a line cook. Working in the kitchen has been something I have always wanted to do for a career since I was taking culinary arts in high school. When I tried going into the Marines i was going to go in as a cook but that didn't work out cause of my eye's. Then I worked at Chilies for a few weeks in '98 but that really didn't work out either. So I just work retail for the next 14 years. Toward the tail end of it I was really hating it. I hated dealing with the customers and just the bullshit of retrial in all. So I guess it was a good thing that I got fired. So anyway i spoke with the kitchen manager on Thursday Jan. 12th. I went well. He said that he would get back to me on Tuesday Jan. 17th. Well that past and still no call. I was starting to get really be depressed. I really wanted this job more then anything. So I was like look the only way im going to get this is just by being a pest and keep on calling.So I did. Then I Thursday I was like ok Im just going to go in and talk to him. So I did and he offered me the job. It really didn't hit me right away. But later it did. It was finally good to be going into a career that I have been wanting to do my whole life.
So after 14 years I am FINALLY done with reatail and stupid customers. I am so happy. I can't wait to start my new career.
