Members Optimus Prime Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 So, I might be losing my job along with my assistant manager. Someone accused us of drinking on the job. Which is bull{censored}. No one but one person thinks we did. She also said that he bought me the alcohol. So he might get arrested for supplying alcohol to a minor. I would feel so {censored}ty if that happened. This entire situation is stupid. I had a meeting with the regional manager yesterday, it was awkward. Afterward, he just stayed and watched us for like 2 hours. I'm not going to say that I've never drank, but definitely not at work. I need the job to much to go and {censored} it up like that. Then today at about 9am, I get a text message from my dad saying that something is wrong and that I need to call him. When I tried to use my phone to call, some lady took it. I said it was an emergency, but apparently that doesn't matter. Now I have to sit through 2 days of in school suspension and they took my phone until after school Friday. Which is bull{censored}, that's borderline theft. I still have no idea what's wrong. For all I know someone in the family could have died. So I'm kinda stressing over that. We don't have a home phone, so I'm about to go driving around looking for a payphone (which are hard to find). I feel like a little bitch boy while typing this, but I figure that complaining is better than breaking faces. I'm furious at whoever made that bull{censored} drinking accusation. If I find out who it was, they're in for some serious {censored}. And there's some other stuff going on with me right now, that I don't want to get into. But it makes all this other {censored} look like cake. I need to get to a bookstore to and get some good books to read while I sit in the same room for 14 hours in the next 2 days. Sorry for complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Super Bass Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm assuming you are at school? Why can't you just go to the office and call? +1 Either that or ask a friend can you use their phone to make an important call. Otherwise if you have money to spend on a 70's Jazz, then buy another phone. Cheap prepay? even just as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Optimus Prime Posted November 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well, I finally found a payphone at a Shell station. No answer (just like all day today). I'm really worried now. I don't know what to do. As far as I know, he was going jet-skiing today. +1 Either that or ask a friend can you use their phone to make an important call. Otherwise if you have money to spend on a 70's Jazz, then buy another phone. Cheap prepay? even just as a backup. Everyone I know was offering to let me use their phone. I didn't want to get theirs taken either. I don't have the money. I'm (finally) selling this Ampeg, my HBE Hematoma and trying to sell my current bass (in pieces). I have like $60 to live on for the next 2 weeks. Which is hard because I need a tank of gas each week to get to and from work (26 miles round trip + big Acura =/= fuel efficiency).

Members L-1329 Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 I shouldn't have just spent $4 on Coke. If you've got to live for two weeks on $60 you shouldn't be spending any money at all on Coke. You need to understand this. But I hope your dad is ok. Make a trip to see him if you can't call. Just get there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planned on eating at home as much as possible, not eating lunch at school and (I can't believe that I'm going to do this) eat dinner at work for the next 2 weeks, to save as much money as possible. Ugh, I want to puke just thinking about it. I don't know what's up. I'm not even sure he's home. And driving 60 miles for nothing would be a mistake right now. I don't think there's much I can do, other than wait to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would never be a mistake, even if everything is ok. You only get one dad, and you need to go find him and see what's up. I know things are tight for you right now, but that's family, and you need to know what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt have the option of going to see whats up and I was out of the loop for 3 days, it sucks, just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 No. :poke: Tell management in no uncertain terms you consider this slander and you want the accuser disciplined. In this type of situation, the best defense is a good offense. Right now management has no downside believing the liar's story. Offer to take a lie detector test as well.

If you bend over and take it, it's an admittance of guilt. Take it personally and seriously and all of a sudden you have some credibility in their eyes.

Members Bass8987 Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Like a month ago you were complaining about being broke. Then, you buy a Lakland Bob Glaub and now Fender Jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Like a month ago you were complaining about being broke. Then, you buy a Lakland Bob Glaub and now Fender Jazz. Don't forget the Acura that he had to settle for over the BMW he wanted. I remember when I was in High School still, my mountain bike had no rear brake and the gears were frozen in the highest (12) since grade 9. I sitll had to use it right through grade 12. But it's ok, there are no hills in BC or anything. I played a Samick bass into a Peavey 60 watt combo. I ruled the school with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a Randall 60 watt combo that saw more shows than any piece of gear I've had since. I never knew I was being 'deprived' all those years with my crappy little rig either.

Members Sugarskull Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Is there an adult in your life that you can talk to about talking to the proper authorities to get your phone back or at least check the messages on it from your Dad for you? Please hold off on the drinking. Save the rum and coke for your Dad when he returns to you in one piece. This is certainly no time to be drinking underage.

Hell, I'm 34 with a decent job and I wish I was as deprived now or at any point in my life as he has been in the last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
