Another chapter ends

I am going to do my rant one more time, just so i have it on record lol. Yesterday i was fired from my latest job. They used the word 'terminated' i guess to make it sound no so bad, but polish a turd its still a turd. I went to work Monday and when i asked the security guard to give me a badge he said " You have been terminated". I didn't believe him but he showed me on the computer that i had indeed been terminated by Pam , my old boss, on Friday. I called the temp company that i had been working through and she said she would look into it. She called me back and informed me that I had been terminated from the position due to missing work due to being sick and cheating on my time card. Let me explain. Pam told me from the get go that if you didn't feel good you should stay home. The place where i work doesn't have windows or anything so if one person gets sick, then it gets passed around easily. So one day when i was feeling dizzy (which is never good when you are climbing up and down small ladders in a hot enclosed space), i asked to go home and she immediate told me to go home and not come back til i have feeling better. I called off the next day but the day after that i was back at work. Then Friday I informed her that i might want to go home early because i had a slight fever. She almost yelled at me for coming in at all with a fever. And she MADE me go home, as in told me i wasn't allowed to work and needed to leave. So total i missed two days of work (the one full day and then the two half days), a girl i worked with missed a whole week straight and is still there. Then there is the matter of the cheating. I worked 10 hours last Monday, which since a normal shift is 8 hours, i would be getting two hours of overtime. But since i left early Friday i thought that i had to put the two extra hours onto Friday's time so it didn't look like i was getting overtime. It was a mistake, but in my defense they never told us what to do when we were faced with the situation. So i cried alittle, or maybe alot, got angry ALOT!!! And now im trying to enjoy my free time and look for a new job. I could use all the prayer i can get on the new job front. I think what stung the most was that Pam claimed to really like me and she always treated me nicely and then she didn't even have the decency to fire me to my face. Anyways, I apologize for being such a party-pooper. I hope you have had a better week so far :)
CIAO!
