Damn heat
Well, it's officially summer, since it feels like I am swimming every time I set foot out of doors. Also, I am not entirely sure, but I think someone took a crap in our front bushes - it stinks like ass out there since yesterday. B refuses to crawl under and check, so I think I am going to have to force him to do it. I hate getting out the belt and the ball gag, but sometimes you just gotta enforce the rules.
Another thing of interest: myself, and all of the Mosaic employees around the country, were fired via conference call a few weeks back. It was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. This was the same week in which I had a sinus infection and my dog died, so I was in the mood to see a firing as hilarious.
What I found to be so damn funny was that even though they are firing us all, it's not effective until July 2nd. And to keep everyone from jumping ship immediately to look for more gainful employment, they are withholding our May bonuses until July, to be paid out on the condition that we work through the month. Some people call that blackmail, I call it good clean fun!
Also, since Best Buy just wanted to hire me outright, and immediately, they also met with Best Buy corporate and made a rule that any Best Buy manager who hires a Mosaic employee before July 3rd will be reprimanded and written up. This, to me, is like icing on the cake, because even if I say, hey, screw my bonus, I would rather have a job for the next month that I know will be there the following month that my paltry bonus, it doesn't matter. My Best Buy STILL couldn't hire me until July 3rd. Apparently, they have my name on a list somewhere, and even if I quit Mosaic, if I get hired at Best Buy prior to July 2nd, someone will have to get written up. This just reeks of bullshit to me.
Just like our front bushes.
