Hey, so i just fucking quit my new job rn. I got offered something better last minute but didn’t wanna be a dick and cancel on them at the last minute, so I went through with it anyways and then QUIT RIGHT AFTER THEY HIRED ME LMFAO. It felt so good man, total payback for all those times I wasted my time interviewing only to never get the gig.

I worked for a short while where there was spraypainting going on. It was indoors, had to wear a mask and help someone get these huge plates into place. Needless to say it was awful. After so many times being there I couldn’t take it anymore and the next day I called and said I wouldn’t come in anymore. The boss was furious. Was a bit of a shitty move of me, did feel a bit bad about it, but after the call such a huge burden was lifted off of me. Boss was a dick anyways. Later I found out I had to come in to get my last paycheck. Was putting it off, I told a friend and he dropped me off there to do it. Was flipping nerve-wrecking walking up to the boss while his back was turned towards me, but I’m lucky I did it after the friend motivated me. Damn the nerves…😅
