“I was late to work one day in the past three years and you dock my pay two hundred dollars per year!” I yelled at my boss for an unfair drop in salary. “I quit man,” I said walking out of his office. “Effective immediately.” I got back to my crappy apartment and realized that I was going to have to have my phone cut off so I decided to switch to a burner phone save a little bit of green per month. So I got into my car to travel to the Family Dollar down the street because I knew they sold burner phones. I got there and remembered hearing Steve Vai playing over the speakers. “I would like to purchase and add minutes to this burner phone, I quit my job and-“ “yeah yeah yeah I don’t need your whole life story I work minimum wage to listen to …show more content…
“Uhh fine,” I groaned getting up to grab the remote. I was about to turn it back on when my new burner phone started going off, puzzled I looked at and answered. It was just my friend calling to test out my new number to make sure it works. I told him how I quit my job, and how my former boss is A COMPLETE MORON. anyway we talked for a bit and I turned Netflix back on and started watching and found out one of my favorite shows is going to be taken off of Netflix. In fact it is my all time favorite. and I quit my job so I can’t afford to buy the DVD of it. That’s annoying. I couldn’t get to sleep that night so I just kept watching Netflix. I was a little bit nervous about switching to a burner phone. Mainly because I’ve heard stories of people getting mixed up into organized crime because their new phone number belonged to a former gang member or something. You hear this kind of stuff happening but you never think that’s going to happen to you. It still freaks me out though. makes you wonder who had this phone number before …show more content…
I walked from one side of the city to the other looking for “HELP WANTED” signs. I found a couple of them that wouldn’t be completely demeaning. I went in and applied and even then there was a fifty percent chance that they would call me back, and after the interview there was a one percent chance that they would hire me. I had gone everywhere and barely any places are hiring. I checked the job section in the newspaper, Yes they still have those, and I found some jobs that I’m going to apply for next. I went home and filled out a bunch of applications most of them were online. I sent them all in and am waiting for a call back. I got a couple call backs within the next couple days and went in for an interview and eventually got a job at this small diner near my apartment Dave’s Diner. Really sketchy place. As soon as I started my job I realized we don't get that much business. It’s kind of a dive. rented retail space right next to a dry cleaners with a full bar and unstable tables and different plates. I tried the food though and it is absolutely
Im sure youve heard I quit my job. I couldn't help it when I saw an article that described exact events that happen to me 3 years ago when I was laid off/quit/fired from a headache and physical therapy office. That was also the point where I was in the worse shape and couldn't "deal" with anything because I had to much "Baggage" I felt I was responsible for (uncontrollable circumstances).
The telephone network is a massive electronic network that depends on thousands of computer run software programs and all this software in theory can be reprogrammed for criminal use. The telephone system is, in other words, a potentially vulnerable system, by cracking the right codes and inputting the correct passwords a hacker can sabotage a switching system for millions of phones, paralyzing a city with a few keystrokes. Security experts say telephone terrorism poses a threat, society hasn't even begun to fathom it! You have people hacking into your system all the time. There were groups in the U.S.A in 1993 that shutdown three of the four telephone switch stations on the east coast, if they had shutdown the final switch station as well the whole east coast would have been without phones.

However, I ended up getting hired at the Walmart distribution center, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Although we still have to live paycheck to paycheck, we can now manage to pay the bills and put food on the table without as much stress as before.
In the Sundance Writer, the story, How to Land the Job You Want gives an example of what should happen if someone gets laid off and/or loses a job. “Louis Albert, 39, lost his job as an electrical engineer when his firm made extensive cutbacks. He spent two months answering classified ads and visiting employment agencies—with zero results” (Mayleas 366). Eventually, he

Failure isn’t always something you have control of or have the ability to predict. Failure seems to happen at the worst of times; however we need to accept it, because you cannot always win. My greatest failure would be tearing my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), my junior year in a lacrosse game, through no fault of my own in which my body physically failed me, but it truly changed my aspect of life in multiple ways.

I got laid off 4 months ago. Because I refused to work 60+ hour weeks, I can’t get my old managers to call me back. As a 5-year industry veteran with no industry references, I can’t get hiring managers to call me back.
I remember when I first found out I was pregnant I did not tell anyone, I had just turned 18 no job and no stable place to stay. Since my parents had split up and practically left my siblings and I to take care of ourselves.I knew telling my them was not going to make a difference since they did not care about anyone but their selves. My father was busy working out of town, and my mother was too busy with her new boyfriend. I knew I had to call my boyfriend Robert, he was not very excited about the news since we were both in the same situation,he told me he would find a job and a place for us to stay, I felt so relieved just to have his support. One month passed and I never heard anything from him , I knew I was left on my own. My mother had decided to let me stay with her after i convinced her I would not be a bother and will be out before my baby was born.
There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
The house phone started to ring. “We have a house phone?” I questioned myself rubbing my eyes giving off a weary sigh. When did I fall asleep? I headed downstairs and it stopped. Again it rang and I guessed it was on the bottom shelf hence lack of usage. Pulling off the dusty cloth I grasped the telephone and answered.
