Jobless and Proud

LIFE REFLECTION:
We work all of our lives to better ourselves and then suddenly the stop button is pressed and plans go SOUTH. I'm now Jobless and I'm proud.

JOB GONE BAD:
About six Months ago I thought a Grand JOB offer was going to make my future a bright one. I moved up to PA from NC to assume a position in Quality Management and to work for a boss with an outwardly pleasant demeanor.

If I had only known that his ego was higher than Mt. Everest. The integrity that accompanied this enbedded confidence was equivalent to a scent-loaded skunk being trusted to hold it in while being poked with a stick.

Yes, he sprayed his arrogance around like a florist watering daises. Apparently he acquired these wonderful characteristics despite the fact that he isn't even a born Bastard. However he does have a PHD.

I was put in a position of responsibility without authority. No plan I created was good enough for Mr. PHD. Everything I did had to be changed to meet his standards of Arrogant-Perfection.

I asked myself Why? Is the phrase "Screw Me" written on my forehead or am I just having a bad streak of luck?

Then I realized that just as a Horse is a " Horse of Course," a Jerk is just that, a jerk. Take note that Horses and Jerks have something in common, there both an A_ _ (double s).

Recovery:
During my six month cycle of everlasting attemps to be a success, I lost control of my life in a big way. There was no time to plan weekends or watch a movie. Everything I did was done on borrowed time. I worked night and day.

Now I'm free to plan, think, and to be me. For how long? I don't know?
For now I'm Jerk free, Jobless, and very proud to be Me..
