My bad habits AREN'T my title.

Well, for no particular reason whatsoever, the owner of the local distributor of Kirby has decided to fire everyone with the exception of one field manager and his office pet, which totally pissed me off.  And not only that, but he screwed me out of a lot of money.  I was one week away from earning $2,100, and I got paid $75.  $75.

Needless to say, I was fucking pissed.  I was the best new recruit that they had, and he let us all go.  Probably to avoid paying me that money.  What a son of a bitch, eh?  We had a bit of a showdown in his office, and it ended with him threatening me with the cops when I threatened him.  But honestly, it's in the past.  Now I'm turning towards the call centers, something like Convergy's, AT&T, Sprint, etc.  At least I personally know people that work there and they don't make too bad of a living.  Much better than the one that I have now, at least.  So I'm keeping my hopes alive, and trying to remotivate myself back towards success and one day, getting back into school.

In addition, I'm much less guilt ridden today than I've ever been in my entire life.  I finally told my dad about my past history with drugs and the real story of my former alcohol abuse.  It feels SO much better to have gotten it off of my chest, and maybe perhaps now, we can begin to build a much stronger relationship.  I know that I have not been ANYWHERE close to the best of children, but now, I'm ready to do it.  Dad only wants one thing from me, and that's success.  That comes with a lot of steps, mind you, but I'm finally, after two decades, ready to give it my best shot.

Ahhh, life is much, much better today than it was yesterday.  Maybe it will keep on getting better?  Cheers to that notion.
