Those of you who expected Christmas in February will be disappointed in me.
There will be no presents tomorrow. I have to work on a court filing which has a due date next week.
I may get another Public Service Announcement video in yet this weekend, but don't hold your breath.
My
former employer, O'Neil & Associates, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio
(ONA) still hasn't paid the Netherlands court judgment. The amount goes
up in 5 days, so they should hurry and send the $.
The
next ONA Public Service Announcement video will highlight Dutch court
proceedings. How ONA tried to smear my name in court. They are such nice
people, but I can't recommend them to anyone who's looking for
employment.
Remember, only you can prevent wage slavery.
Don't work for nothing! Get what you're worth!
Have a great weekend!

Taking the Kids to School
You have to wonder what they teach in school these days.
From reading blogs and checking out the news on the Internet (I don't watch TV, haven't for years), it never ceases to amaze me. Did anyone learn anything or are you all robots?
Here's the short course:
Corporations and the government lie to you.
They do this in their best interest.
They don't care what you do, as long as you continue to believe them.
Please continue to watch TV, do your job (if you're lucky enough to have one) and pay those taxes.
Otherwise, stay stoned, drunk and stupid. We don't need anyone complaining about how things are screwed up.
Those of you who are unemployed, don't worry. You'll be back at work in about a year or so.
Expect lower wages, less benefits and probably less hours.
Shut up and be happy that you have a job.
I'll go into the probabilities of getting rehired later.
It won't be pretty.
As for you 'kids' out there, experiencing your first or second lay-off/termination/whatever term you use for being fired...
You have a lot to learn.
Stick around, school's about to begin.

Unemployment As HOT TOPIC
Wow! WHO KNEW?
Being unemployed is now a really big deal in the good ole USA!
It's everywhere, on the radio, TV, Internet, your local street corner...HEY! Maybe even in your house!
If you're not unemployed, you must be either management, a politician, a crook/drug dealer or a wage slave. Hey, one out of four ain't bad. Just think you could be a crooked politician who used to be in management or maybe a crooked manager who used to be a politician! The possibilities are endless! Of course, as a wage slave, we will read you your rights, if and when you are caught doing something you aren't supposed to be doing. Which we will be sure to insure by writing the rules and regulations in such a manner that you can't possibly do your job and not break one.
I got my eye on you, boy/girl!
Just remember, just 'cause you got a job today, don't mean I'm gonna pay you tomorrow.

Terminated You, The Day After
It's now a day later.
You get up, everything seems the same. The sun still shines, rain is wet, the dog did what you didn't want it to do where it isn't supposed to do it.
Another day, yet it's different. You're now an ex-(title/position/doormat) of the ChumpChange Corporation. All your self-respect is as flat and dead as roadkill.
Your anger boileth over. Various thoughts of macabre revenge seep into your usual benign brainwaves. You really don't want to become a Ninja at this stage in your life. Way too much physical training.
Now is the time to cool out. Take a walk and contemplate the future, without that albatross of a company around your neck. There are much better ways to lead your life, try them.
Yes, there will be bills to pay. You might have to take a lesser job, do things you don't like. Just as long as you don't consider them to be the long-term answer to your situation.
Go back to school, even if it's online or at the library. Turn your hobby into a money-maker. Explore life.
You could sell everything and start off on a trip around the world.
I had a friend who walked across the USA. The entire distance. Didn't take any rides, even in the mountains and deserts. People were amazed that he would try something like that. It took almost a year, but he had experiences that will last a lifetime.
The main thing is to not get down on yourself. You might have brought on this termination or it might have been dropped on you by bad business practices or office politics.
The cause doesn't matter. What you do from here, that's the important thing.
As for ChumpChange Corporation?
They'll get their due, sooner or later, one way or another. Nothing, not even the biggest company, lasts forever.
You though, can now get on with your life.
Make the most of it!

(In a previous post, I suggest, jokingly, to call your boss on the following Monday and thank them for terminating you. It's probably not a good thing to do, what with companies all paranoid and tape-recording everything. They might use it against you in the future. It's a sad fact of life that you almost have to use your previous employer as a reference. Who can then 'spin' things. It's something that gives those HR managers the feeling that they can control your life.)
The Day Your Career Stood Still
Yes, it seems like the world has come to an end.
It has now come crashing down around you. Don't worry, it hasn't, it's only your temporary perception of it. Emphasis on 'temporary perception'.
You just got the news. They might have given you fair warning. More than likely someone showed up at your desk, gave you a few minutes to clean it out and pack up your personal effects, then you were escorted to the door. Jackboot to the seat of your pants, optional.
The shock might not have worn off yet. You’re still in a bit of a daze.
It’s OK. You’re OK. The world has not ended, just your job.
If your work is your world, as it is for many people, then you’re devastated, completely crushed. The problem is the realization that the so-called security of any job is an illusion. Nothing is promised or guaranteed. You’ll have to deal with it.
On the other hand, if you know that life doesn’t revolve around a job, but more importantly the work that you really love, you’ll be better than OK.
You’ll be free.
Free to do as you please, try those things that you didn’t have time for while you were obligated to show up and work for someone else.
No matter how you view this situation, as long as you get up in the morning and get to work, doing something you love, you’ll be fine.
If you think that you can go down to the unemployment office, have them sign you up and give you another security blanket, you’re only kidding yourself.
Respect yourself, be responsible for yourself and find something that you love to do, so you can enjoy your work.
Any job you do that’s a pain is not a career, it’s a prison.
Break out!
Take the chance and taste the freedom.
Give them that pink slip back, it doesn’t look good on you anyway…
Or just have some fun.
Call the ex-boss in a couple of weeks, first thing on a Monday morning.
Tell them, “Thanks for getting me out of there”.
Be polite.
It’ll drive them nuts wondering what you’re up to.
Don't worry, your former co-workers will be calling you, asking what the hell you did to freak out the boss.
Then go do something you love.
