Let me sum up. (Hopefully without being too depressing)
Hells Embargo has "graciously" decided to "forgive" me and my "errors" and give me a special "code" which will indicate that I "resigned" but will still allow me to get unemployment, and they will pay me for 2 weeks.
Horse. Poo.
First of all if someone calls them to check for past employment, they'll tell them I resigned, not that I was laid off - that's not good.
Second - I DID NOT RESIGN therefore I AM ENTITLED to have 6 weeks of severance and damn it, I'm gonna get it. Tomorrow is my "last day" and if I don't hear from the HR lady by 10, I'm calling the CEO. Repeatedly... until he takes my call.
My interview in Atlanta on Monday was poo. They weren't expecting me, their job application asked for illegal information, and the lady I interviewed with was perhaps the bitchiest person ever.
I'm sitting on the floor of my apartment. There's no furniture.
So life... is still a little sucky.
Let's focus on positives....
Mr. B was a wonderful help with moving and I got to spend lots of time with him.
Jillian picked Ed.
Um....
Yeah.
Just wanted to bring you up to speed.
Oh.... and Gert likes Soccer... but not the sweating.

sorry....=( that sounds just crappy.
I know it feels crappy but HE is still in control. Show your faith sista!! Praying everything works out for ya!!
I LOVE the nod to Princess Bride...priceless.
HOWEVER, the way you're being treated...INCONCEIVABLE (please include the lisp for grand effect). That sucketh. HR is a problem for my hubs as well...they're such sissies.
I'm with Gert... I don't like the sweating, either.
And horse poo is right. UGH. Don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of hope you don't hear from HR tomorrow... so you can call the CEO and give 'im a piece of your mind. Wish I could!
Chin up, chickie.
xoxo
Love the Princess Bride reference.
So bummed about the job interview. This crappy economy sucks the big one.
Hmmm, maybe if you changed careers and su...
Oh, never mind.
Do they make sweat-free soccer?
that is horse poo! BLECH on the job interview...that's just not right.
YAY for more time with Mr. B...
{HUG}
I'm sorry the job situation is sucky... I feel ya on that one!!
And I'm also feeling Gert with the sweat situation :)
Hang in there!
((hugs))
Oh, Lizzy. I am sorry. Surely they can't say you resigned unless they can pull a letter of resignation signed by you out of their derrieres?
PS.. Was it The Princess Bride? I thought it was Ricky Ricardo. Shows how long it's been since I watched The Princess Bride.
That is just crappy...I'm sad for you...big hugs..
Sending ((hugs)) from Texas....
Horse poo is right. Maybe you should shove some horse poo in HR's face and see if they like it?
Just keep fighting to get what you deserve. By the end of it they'll wish they would've just given you your just due to begin with.
kick some ass Lizzy...
I don't like soccer or sweating. I don't like anything that requires sweating. Wait. I take that back. Snort. Okay, one thing. Anywho. Not about me.
Um. I'm sorry about the completely dysfunctional morons that can't get up to speed with technology and still insist on riding stagecoaches. Idiots.
At least Jillian and Ed are happily sweating together. Should be married before they do that, but that's just me...and God...
Trying not to sound like the Church Lady....
♫Every little thing is gonna be alright♫
I hate sweating, too.
It can only get better. I hope.
that CEO had better hand you all the "she-did-not-resign-her job-was-ELIMINATED" papers, plus severence pay, plus two dozen roses. An apology would be nice, but ......
When my job was ELIMINATED I was in the COO's office signing farewell papers. The president walked in, gave me the happy handshake and said "Welcome to Crap Hospital!" WRONG (idiot prez.)
I'm with swirl girl, kck some ass! Get what you deserve!
So sorry things are sucky right now.
Lately I have been pondering the advice of a blue fish named Dory: "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." Nothing can defeat you unless you quit trying.
Oh, and when I asked Miss P about soccer she said, "No, Mommy. I don't like to run that much."
That sounds very, very crappy. Here's hoping the crap ends soon.
Hang in there hun. You can only control YOU. (I know, it's easier said than done.)
I'll keep you in my prayers.
Lizzy,
Have you looked into Government jobs? If not please do so. The key to getting an interview with them is by using as many key words and phrases in their Job Descriptions in your own resume and Cover Letter.
Other than that, I mentioned you in my blog today. I love you for your sense of humor no matter how glum things look around you. I wish I could be more like you!
Yesterday, as I was doing my blog hopping I came across one that shared some scripture that I really needed to hear. Maybe it will bring you comfort as it did me.
"In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall." 2 Samuel 22:30
Do you need legal representation? Hell's Embargo sure would be surprised if a lawyer called them. Try calling your local Legal Aid office. They might be able to help. And please tell Gert that Ella Numera Dos also loved soccer when she was of a similar age. The camaraderie, the teamwork, the pizza parties, the jersey...but not so much the sweating.
That really stinks. All over the place. Yuck.
I haven been out of the blogging loop for a few days - grandkids, moving kids, etc and I was just catching up with your blog. I am sooooo sorry that you are going through all of this!! I will be praying for you and I am glad that you have faith. Something will work out!!
Sorry! Hope your luck improves. Fingers crossed for ya!
Gah. They are really trying to screw you every which way they can...and it sucks. This is why people go postal.
You don't own a gun right?
"Let me esplain...Buttercup is marry Humperdink a little less a-half-an hour..."
(Loved your title. Do not love your suckass former job peeps. Had to be said.)
And...
This past weekend I thought of Space Camp. I returned from Texas desperate to watch it. But I've refrained. I'm fasting from Jinx & Max goodness until I can watch it with you. When we will watch and quote and be all obnoxious, while a gaggle of other gals roll their eyes and grow jealous because they do not possess the same plethora of Space Camp knowledge as you and me. "I read a book on it once..."
We rule.
I love you.
Hope all is well.
(How was MinneSOTA? I love that accent.)
Worried about you. Hope all is well and want you to know I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
