[Mudcat]

Oh I guess we don't have a smiley for that.


Just before leaving on my last day I did something not totally retarded. Like it wasn't retarded at all. I think it really proved that I am not completely retarded.

They'll be sorry I'm gone.

time to start booking, muddy

 

[roguejuror]

what did you do muddy?

 

[Cougar Bait]

Sucks to lose a job

Place I work is next to another company that just let about 300 people go

Many of them former workers of our shop

Business moving to China and Mexico

 

[Mudcat]

what did you do muddy?

I had a big box of motors and there were 6 of one kind and 1 of another. They all looked the same at first glance but there was an oddball. So when I labeled the box I noted where exactly to find the oddball motor within the box. Thinking ahead to what will happen with those motors, that is something that will save someone some hassle. Not a ton of hassle but a minor hassle.

Someone retarded wouldn't have that kind of forethought and attention to detail. They would just put on a label identifying the contents of the box. But you see, I am not retarded.

They have lost a totally non-retarded person. They'll see and they'll be sorry.

Guess I need to apply for Unemployment Insurance today (or as they now call it, Employment Insurance).

Guess that's what a person in my position does.






Actually got a pretty good list of tasks for today. Initiate EI application, laundry, haircut, contacting former boss about a reference, contacting someone about some part-time work, contacting a certain person from a certain agency etc. etc.

Tomorrow I get focused on music and stay focused on music. My pace and rate of progress is about to increase about 5x. Extremely excited about that.

Muddy hang in there and gl bud

Sucks

 

[Mudcat]

Thank you.

Yeah I keep getting that. People giving me condolences. Here and in real life. I guess it is a programmed reaction.

I have tried to explain that I am really happy and excited about this. Sincerely. I would not kid you about that.


But I don't think people believe me. I guess I am better off just accepting the condolences and and leaving it at that.

 

[PuckOff]

CONGRATULATIONS MUDDY!!!

I really mean it.

 

[stevek173]

I believe you Muddy, I kind of scanned through and missed the gist.

What Pucky said.

 

[Blitty]

It seems like a logical programmed reaction.

Someone else caused your excitement when you were in control of it the entire time.


I'm trying to think of an analogy but coming up empty.


GL though.
