I came into work at noon today, Marianne pulls me to the side and asks me to come into the back office with her. I start to wonder what this must be about. Am I getting a raise? Being recommend for a manager position? She closes the door and I know something is wrong. She says the register was short $50 last night and wants to know what happened.
I told her I didn't know what she was talking about. That's when she looks me in the eye and says that I won't be working the register anymore or handling any cash at all. That means no hosting or serving. I could still stay on as a dishwasher if I wanted to. By now I'm furious. I've worked my heart out for this company for the last ten years, I never minded being jerked around and given empty promises, I loved the business, I loved the food, I loved the customers. What got me was the unspoken accusation that I was stealing cash from the till. That bitch has had it out for me ever since she transferred here last fall. I could see it in her eyes, she was enjoying every moment of this.
I took off my apron and I threw it in her ugly face. "Wash your own dishes bitch!" I yelled, getting up from my chair, walking back out of her office and slamming the door behind me before she could say anything back. A minute later I was outside in the parking lot. It happened so fast, I couldn't believe it.
I'm in a daze right now. Nothing seems real anymore. I don't know where to turn after this.
I got fired today

"After much thought into this, I have finally come to a conclusion as to why the ‘Meet the Spartans’ commercial is so funny:
It is an interesting choice to have Sanjaya sing ‘I’m not gay,’ as his final words on earth. As he is plummeting into a seemingly bottomless pit, he does not say ‘dear god no,’ ‘I love you mom,’ or even simply ‘argh.’ He instead takes the moment to reaffirm to the world, in spite of their doubts, that he is not a homosexual. Not only that, but he continues to sing, despite falling to his certain death. The distinct lack of plausibility of this situation is what produces giggles from our mouth. It is the antithesis to the belief that ‘it’s funny because it is true.’"

what I do at a Red Lobster all you can eat shrimp night can hardly be considered love in the first place.

Fight it, man. Clear your name. Is there someone above her you can approach? Dude, if you're gonna go down, go down swinging, don't just walk out of the ring.

maybe this is RLs way of quitting a lame personality too.
if this is real, then go work somewhere else. fucking fine dining or something. do you even like money?
Download this EP I made. The songs are pretty close to where they should be. I colaborated with Brian Wilson and Thom Yorke and then we all fucked in my basement apartment. Thom has a really big dick suprisingly, and Brian Wilson cried the whole time, yelling "These moans are not in perfect harmonic unison". Anyway, it sounds like what you would imagine something from that situation sounds like.

Once you've worked at the best, how can you go to the rest?
