Jim gets fired

That's right, I'm unemployed. I'm not sure why, I was too busy working on the blog to find out. But I haven't had as much time to write since because I'm not at work.

However, it all went down in an "office"-like fashion:

I was working through a temp agency and kept answering the phone when the agency lady would call for my boss. They would talk at length and I would sneak up to his door and listen. They never seemed to be talking about me.

The next part should be on an Office episode:

Michael (walks slowly and slyly over to Jim's desk, wusses out, turns around and then comes back): "So Jim, there's going to be a woman that's coming to work with you today."

Jim: "great"

Michael: "We are actually hoping to see how good she is at your job. Maybe you could let us know what you think at the end of the day."

Jim (dodging spit): "cool."

Jim (thinking): "you twit, of course I'll tell you she's incompetent."

-end of conversation

I actually told the first girl that I was going to tell them that she was no good. I did so and she didn't get hired.

I had too much of a soul left to rat out the second girl and that was it.

Now that it's over I'm starting to realize what I had:

Secretary: could beat Mimi from Drew Carey in an eye shadow contest and talked to herself more than Mr. Rogers.

Field Crew: Treehuggers, and by treehuggers I mean that they don't eat meat. What's wrong with these people? If I am ordering a pizza, at least a pig better have been slaughtered at some point.

Boss: Actually named Michael. For Christmas he gave us all gift certificates to Snider's Family Meats. We hadn't had sensitivity training yet.

Don't worry, this isn't the end of the blog. I'm sure there's another crappy job out there for me somewhere. I also have some stories on archive.
