Yikes... I hurt. Ron and I went for a HUGE walk yesterday.. well huge for guys our size and today I'm a little stiff. Went to work nice and early today and am back nice and early as well. I have a few places to fax to and then my day is basically over.Gonna go out with some friends tonight from my old job. Yeah I was fired after 10 years at my old job. It was good for me because I really felt frustrated there. I can't count the number of times I made the right call, but we went the other way and things ended up failing miserably. It's hard being right when nobody listens, and even though your track record is like 90-95% correct calls, they still follow the idiot who is almost always wrong. Don't get me wrong, the idiot is the boss, but the boss should have enough wisdom to see the pattern. Whatever.. I am out of there now, and I bring my track record to my OWN company, where it has paid off pretty well.
I feel bad that they fired me. If you talk to mist of the people I worked with, I was a very underpaid/under-utilized person. I was one of these guys who could do anything in a building, and had been in the business long enough to know the good choices and the mistakes. Unfortunately, rather than seeing me as a commodity, I think I was viewed as a threat. It's too bad, because I'm a pretty loyal guy. But it's good for me...
Basement flooded.. that was nice.. hopefully it dries out by tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do down there and I dont wanna be walking through feces.
I guess today's lesson is every person is a nightmare and an asset. It just depends how you treat them. If you want to fear me.. then fear me... Because I'm either coming WITH you.. or FOR you...
