I don’t really want to talk about it, but I got ‘terminated’ from Onstar yesterday. To give you the quick summary; some black girls from across the row saw a little cartoon I was drawing. I went to break; the black girls searched my bag and didn’t find it. I came back from break with Leanne (head of Charlotte HR) breathing down my neck demanding for the picture. She and Jeff Jones (head manager of the sales floor) ‘council’ me (meaning yelling and screaming and calling me a liar to my face) in an office. The picture disappeared, so I could not give it to them, I didn’t have it and I didn’t know where it was (so I told them, and at that point I was telling the truth). They suspended me, I called head of HR for Convergys; Hugh Bulock (old head of HR for Sitel when they still ran the show) calls me a few days later, listens to my story, and basically shrugs me off. He said he would have to talk with Leanne and Jeff about this directly. Meanwhile, while I’m on the phone with Hugh, Jeff calls my phone and leaves a message stating that I am fired as of last Thursday. No documentation, no write ups, no proof of the drawing, and no paperwork what-so-ever. So, today is Tuesday, I have applied at three different places on Monster.com, and looking into an IT position at Olan Mills Photography. I haven’t heard anything back yet from any jobs.

That’s all for now.

So, I survived my birthday, as odd and jam packed as it was. Turned out that Taryn ended up coming to the party, but she didn’t stay very long, she came with this gay guy called Dale, he was pretty cool. They said they had a few more parties to hit. She seemed to be having a good time, even though I forgot her name while I was introducing everyone. No big deal, I told her that I had been drinking since ten, so she cut me a little slack. The party went well, Susan (Jeff’s wife) cooked a massive amount of food. There were tons of it; she even managed to make a cake that looked like a woman torso! Pretty amazing.


I have been still talking to that girl from Columbia SC, Mai (pronounced ‘May’). I have to admit, she is really attractive, and very smart on how the world works, but she is a little behind on what she wants out of life, I think. We were talking about past relationships and she said that she broke up with her last boyfriend of two years (the one that she used to live with) about four months ago. Sounds like I am a rebound to her, and I don’t want it to be like that. Anyway, I am still testing the waters; I will get back to you.



Ps – as of yet, not a tit, not a kiss, and not even a holding hands with either of them; it has been about two weeks, and I have been out with either of them, several times. What does a fella have to do to get laid?
