By the 8th day that I became unemployed I checked
my bank account to see if I was paid what I was promised I was going to be for
my severance. Since my former boss had
such class not to even have the check with him when he fired me I had to wait a
week.
Nothing.
I checked the clock to make sure that it was past 9am in the
off chance payroll was turned in late, after all he did just fired the guy that
did payroll.
Nope, my last week’s check and severance should be in the
bank. So I have to call my old job and
ask what is going on. I am told that
since I no longer work there they can’t do direct deposit so I have to go down
there and get my last check from the greedy power hungry sob that I use to
think was a friend.
Somehow I was able to keep my temper in check long enough to
face him and get my check, and surprise!
It was wrong. He didn’t keep his
word and paid me 1/3 less what he said he was.
So then I am home, pissed off with real rage growing in
me. I feel like I was just betrayed by a
brother. I thought I knew this man over
the last 7 years of working with for him, with him even living with him for a
few months on the road with work.
That night I am going crazy from being home for the last
week and I know my wife is too. She has
been home for 2 months by this point not able to work from her injury. I ask her to call the time share and see if
we can get in it right away. I figured
we could use the change in scenery and at the moment we were current with the mortgage
on it. It was no or never depending on
how long it take me to get a job.
Before we left I filed my unemployment app and the welfare application. I sent out my resume to a few places but didn’t
have much hope on them considering what they were for and we went on vacation
and I stuck my head in the sand for the week ignoring the growing problem.
We took the entire week at the beach. Just what we needed, except one thing. That week and that week only, the weather was
freezing and raining. It started as soon
as we arrive and ended the day we left.
The time just kept getting better and better.
