Today I got up thinking that it would be a normal uneventful kind of day. I arrived at work early and began my routine. The General Manager walked in about 40 min later and hit me with it.
"I'm sorry but we have to let you go...."
I really am not ready to talk about this yet. Its new, it sucks and changes everything
Damn, Yusef I am really sorry to hear of this. This could be a good opportunity to earn money at your passion and your talent. Photography.
Sorry to hear that! Don't worry something better will come along, take it one day at a time!!!!
wow that does suck, Yusef.
Did they give a reason? you know what, don't answer that...it doesnt matter. Shit's fucked up and that's all there is to it.
I'm unemployed also..actually, i resigned from my teaching job earlier this week and, even though im taking a major risk, i realized that I wasn't committed to what I was doing and needed to leave so that I could figure out what it is I should be doing...
So, i understand where you are at, but know that our situations are different in many ways...
Hang in there. You are a ridiculously talented person who will definitely be fine...I think i'm allowed to say that I have that hope foryou. I know I have that for myself...
Life's hard Mr. Canty. But without said trials we wouldn't be who we are today. Thank you for your words of inspiration. I needed the lift.
true...I can't argue with you on that.
im glad i was able to at least help you with not being as sad as you were...
have a good night, Yusef.
guess karma is a bitch huh?
Apparently.
aaaactually i take that back. somtimes a perceived failure can be a path to an even bigger success. who knows maybe you shouldnt be working in a resturant. just maybe, with focus, you could do something far greater.
sorry about the heartless comment, sometimes immaturity gets the best of me.
jose:
you actually make some VERY good points...albeit given in a (unintended) harsh way...
I take what you say to heart because Im in the same boat..and I am working very hard to focus on figuring out what I want to do next since I'm no longer a teacher (resigned last week and feel good about it)
But, great comment nonetheless.
Oh please...I've been telling Yusef that numerous times..(wink wink)..his ass should not be working in a restaurant...he's got more potential than that (NOT that its a bad thing, but its not for him)..Yusef knows what to do..yeah it sucks..yeah we all been thru it and yeah maybe it is Karma (haven't we all been blessed by her?)...but, his goal right now is finishing school..his best bet is finding a side job for some income while finishing his degree..(don't even THINK about quitting school b/c of this set back, you do..then you have truly gone to the dark side)...iiight..gotta go back to my deliveries...
P.S...
Actually, you know @ times we need something to happen in our lives in order for us to stop and take a look at it, the direction its going, the friends who are in it, the expectations we want out of it..(trust me, a lovely car accident did the trick for me)...the both of you..Yusef and Mr.Candy...shit sucks at the moment..(again, i've been there)...u learn to refinance yourself, prioritize things, and hault yourself from buying those $800 Gucci boots, all it is, is a minor setback. The confidence that you have in yourself should be enough to wake up and say.."today is going to be a productive day"....shit aint gonna happen over night..but when people who been down that road, share their experiences with you, you know things will be ok. That is, if you want it to be. Remember: nothing will ever come your way if you dont posses the ambition and drive to make it yours. There is no one and nothing in life that can tell you "no". ...iight the pizza is getting cold....G-luck.
WOW.... You'll be alright... You're a survivor... But hit me up on my email address I might be able to help your situtaion....
Yo Lisamarie...didn't you read Yusef's latest post? He said to give him a break...he knows what to do..
Listen, Mr. Pizza Boy I was just trying to HELP be a little more easy with your approach!!!
I do know how to read... Thanks
..alrighty then, you got it!...Say WERDD...oh and my regards to your daddy, Elvis..how he doin'?...would he like a slice of pizza?...
hmmm...
yea that kinda sucks...
Lord knows I been through my fair share of jobs and this part isn't fun. you'll be coo tho--i'm sure of it--Walter Mercado predicts good energy for you Taurus' during the next two months as the moon enters said constellation...
I just pulled that out my ass but it sounded good tho, huh? lol.
and for the record...
"Life's hard Mr. Canty"...
I patented that phrase over a year ago along with "TOMA!" so chillax lol.
God bless u dawgg.
ah gees, we shared the same losses homes, i just moved out here to dallas for about a month now and i started a job that in Miami...i was good at. but this was a little different. It was harder because the job sucked. so i stayed for 1 1/2 week and on the monday i came in and when i sat at my desk, mother fuckers let me go. apparently my 2 years of experience in that bizz wasnt good enough for them. so now its been 2 weeks and i am unemployeed, miserable and running out of ca$h fast lol. but soon enough these interviews will go thru and ill be back on track living my life again. -A Miami Tale
Another reason why when i feel the spirits urging me to splurge...I DO IT! cuz u never know, and whats worst than being unemployeed and cant buy clothes when invited out for the club or a date (or an interview). but then again...
