I got fired yesterday. I didn't put something away when I locked up the store because I my head was

[applegrove]

in the clouds. Dam. The job wasn't perfect for me. There was lots of product (and alot of boxes for each one of those products)which I had to remember. And not enough to do during a shift so I would think about the past as it is a quiet time of year. I glad I will not be in that situation anymore. Probably for the best all the way around but dam if it doesn't sting. Thankfully I have another job to fall back on.

1. Vibes to you Applegrove!

2. It hurts, doesn't it...

:hug:

[applegrove]

3. Thanks Lizzie. It hurts a little. It wasn't the right job for me.

4. That's the right attitude

It's best to put it behind you

[flvegan]

5. I'm sorry to hear that, applegrove.

Glad you have another job to fall back on, though.

[applegrove]

6. Yes I do have that.

7. I can't tell you how many times I had to go back to the store to lock the safe

If I was ever caught, I would have been fired. Lucky me. Sorry to hear you got canned.

10. My drawer was always $20- $40 short.

I had always dropped it in the safe, it was always there but what a hassle for everybody. I swear those bills laughed at me and jumped into the envelope after I'd counted them five times. My boss came to expect it but *I* couldn't sleep until they found the money. ARgh. I would have fired me.

11. Same thing with me.

It took everyone else 10 minutes to do the bookkeeping. Me...I'd be at it for an hour and STILL not get it right. The manager always came in the next morning and found the shortage.

13. It was embarrassing. I felt just like Diane Chambers.

lol

And the kicker is, the other three nights a week, I taught at a business college!

:hi:

[graywarrior]

14. Bwahahahahaha! That is so funny!!!

[applegrove]

19. See I don't have a problem in that area. When I need to concentrate I can focus. I just chose not to

focus when I was locking up. Silly me. Thanks for your post.

[EFerrari]

22. I know you will find something that is better for you, applegrove.

:hug:

[applegrove]

15. Yup I usually had a routine but that night I changed it a bit. Silly, silly applegrove.

[Inchworm]

8. I often go all the way back

just to make sure I locked the daggone door. I always have, but it's like that "did I leave the coffee pot on" sort of thing.

I'm sure the time I think I must have will be the time I didn't.

Sorry about you getting fired :(

:hug:

[applegrove]

16. Thanks for posting. This is helping me get over it a great deal.

9. My dear applegrove...

It's so hard to concentrate when you don't like the job in the first place...

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

:hug:

[applegrove]

17. Thanks Peggy. Wouldn't be a responce thread without your input. Thanks.

12. Jeez Louise!

Was it that bad a mistake? I'm glad it's not your only job, but still...it hurts in more ways than one. I'm sorry. Heartless pricks out there.

[applegrove]

18. I just didn't click with the husband of my boss. Nothing went right between us. It happens in life.

[DeepBlueC]

20. you sound as though you are taking it in stride

There's something better for you out there. I'm wearing my wishing cap for you. :pals:

[applegrove]

21. Thanks.
