my old manager screws me one final time

I hate hate hate my old company.

They sent my final paycheck to my manager who said he wasn't going to send it to me until he received my laptop, badge and company credit card. Fine. I mailed it to him on my last day, Friday the 22nd of June. It was delivered to him on Monday, 25 June.

I just heard from him on Monday, 1 July, that he was sending me my check. Why he decided to wait a week to send my check I don't know, except that he's an inconsiderate ass.

And when I got my paycheck, today, they had deducted $700 for vacation, when in actuality I should have been re-imbursed for my vacation that I never took (I had to have had at least 10 days this year and I only took 4). This is especially shitty because in all the time I worked there I never got to take all my vacation (or most holidays for that matter) and they didn't reimburse me at the end of the year for my untaken (is that a word?) vacation because it's company policy (because they want us to have a good work/life balance which is a fucking joke because every vacation I scheduled last year I had to cancel for work).

I am FUCKING pissed and the ONLY way I can get my money back is to get my manager to correct my separation papers. How long do you think THAT will take? Exactly. Fuckers.

my new career as a flag pole sitta

Sometimes I really wonder about people's perception of me...

I emailed writing intern Jonathan (or, as I call him, Fish, or as Jeff calls him Jonhanahathanhan) to help me install the new outdoor lights I got for my building (painting finally finished! yea!). I can do it myself but it's easier with two hands.

He responded:

Oh yeah, it's real straight-forward. Also, my dad may have some work for you if you're interested in making some extra bucks. You'd be climbing a flag-pole, handling some tools at the top of the aforementioned pole. real straight-forward stuff.

I responded:

Ahhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

For real?

He wrote:

Very real. It's part of the business he owns. You'd even get to go up on the score-board on top of Invesco Field, work on the poles up there. Another exotic location to put on your wall of victory. or something. It's good stuff.

I might actually do it because 1. it would be fun and 2. I can donate the money I make to Paradox...
