Oh I've already been through the shop at herald square. The only I think I'd splurg on right now is the solar system drinking glasses.
I haven't shopped at hot topic in years...

Watching your girlfriend play 7 Days to Die and falls off the top of her house into a huge row of spikes...priceless.

I did it four times on a friends multi-player map and died every time. You lived, it was worth the chuckle.

Despite my best efforts I've somehow managed to be a generally healthy meat bag, so my experience as a patient has been limited. I have surgery tomorrow, and I'm actually really excited. Blood work (aka the scary part) was done yesterday and I had to be conscious for that part. Tomorrow I'm being knocked out for the procedure, and I remember how much fun that was when I had my wisdom teeth removed.
Shoutout to my amazing doctor who has been judgement free from day one and another shoutout to modern medicine for the ability to cauterize my useless inner pieces!

Those motherfuckers finally did it. The assholes fired me. They've been trying to get rid of me for well over a year and now they finally did it.
I'm scared to death. Now what?

Collect unemployment, ex-employers love it When you fuck with their tax rates I've already filed, but it could be 3-4 weeks before I see a cent, because my ex-employer will likely dispute it. Not to mention that the paltry sum I'd get in unemployment isn't enough to pay my mortgage. I realize the answer to my question is "find another job," but I'm terrified what will happen in the meantime. I've been looking for another place to work for a long time and I've had no such luck. Now that I'm under the gun, so-to-speak, it doesn't exactly take the pressure off.

I hope you're able to find something quick. I'm so sorry to hear that you got fired.

Thanks, guys. I'm sure I'll land back on my feet at some point. I wouldn't be so worried if it was just me though, you know? I got a family, a house, bills...fuck. I'm just getting more depressed.

I'm sorry to hear that. You might be able to turn this around into something positive though. Try and place yourself in the present and just go from there. Don't let your thoughts snowball. Maybe try an employment agency?

I'm sorry to hear that but Justin gave great advice, it might be tough at first but might pay off in the long run.

Also, put the word out to friends and family, most jobs are filled by word of mouth.

I'm very sorry to hear. A lot of the folks here are offering good advice, so I'll only add put your name in at as many places as you can think of. Bit of a crap-shoot but at least that opens up some possibilities, even if you just take something menial to help with finances while you keep looking for something better. Again, my condolences. Fuck the assholes who fired you.

That's awful, sorry man. If I remember correctly didn't you work in retail? I haven't done retail in a decade but if they're near you I hear Costco is a great place to work. Also aren't most places going to start with seasonal hiring pretty soon? That could definitely give you a leg up.

It's something to do while looking for something better.

Yeah, I'm at the point where I'd take pretty much anything. A shitty job is beget than nothing. I know that I'm not likely to find a job that pays what I used to make, so regardless my finances are going to be a bit fucked over fora while.

I'm sorry Frizzo. I hope you find something soon. Temp agencies help a lot for me, but I'm not sure what the market is like where you are.
