I Didn?t Like Working Anyway

By Pete

So, for those of you who stalk me are friends with me on Facebook, you might have already come to hear about the biggest news in the World of Pete this week. Specifically: I was fired on Monday. No, it wasn’t economy related (I don’t think), and I really had no idea it was coming. My best guess, so far, is that it was because the company was intimidated by my striking good looks.

At any rate, I took a few days to lounge around the apartment compose myself and recover from this crushing blow, but today the job search begins anew. I’ve got the savings to see me through the end of March if I’m thrifty, which should be plenty of time.

Far more important than that, however — my brother deploys for Iraq with the USMC today. It’ll be his first tour and he said he’s expecting to be over there for at least 12 months. Stay safe, buddy, we’re proud of you.

Other news from this week: I finally got the old truck back in action. Needed to have the clutch, master, and slave cylinders replaced. It was not cheap, but I was car-less for almost a month and it was time to remedy that problem.

I found a fun group of folks who play euchre once a week at a Mexican restaurant nearby and I’ve also gotten back into the ultimate thing, both are good outlets.

That’s really all that’s going on this week. I guess there’s a football game on Sunday? Old, washed-up college players, I think. I’ll probably watch it anyway.
