royce mitchell finds freedom

Yep, got fired.  I saw it coming, too, after something broke on my way in to work.  I said to myself, "I bet he's going to turn this into the excuse he wants to fire me."  Sure enough, he thought that i should have handheld the project manager (who called me) to troubleshoot the issue, and to guide him on the phone to power-cycle the machine.  I thought, "Why the hell would i assume the project manager has keys to the server room?"  He grumbled about the train delaying my arrival to work and i pointed out that, had i been driving, i would still have been far from work.  He responded by pantomiming himself troubleshooting the problem on the phone while driving.  I tried not to stare too much.

Anyway, i already have résumés out at Apple and Danger.  I think i'll spend next week having lunch with [livejournal.com profile] erikred and cleaning the garage so we can close our storage locker.  Anyone else want to spend some time with me?  Just drop me a line.  After all, i have no pressing engagements!  LOLOLOLOL*BANG*

At least you won't have to deal with that asshole again. I wonder how many underlings he'll go through in the next year? As an aside, using a cellphone while driving is now an offense over here.

Good luck in finding something better.

I'm glad you're out of that shitty situation. I'm certain you'll find a place to showcase your considerable talents in no time at all.

Your boss is a major, grade-A smegma head and he doesn't deserve you as an employee.

I'll be getting in SF on Monday, let's have lunch!

There is a marginal interest in relocation, but it's all contingent on the missus's post-graduation plans, and anyway, i'd be hard-pressed to move somewhere with real winters.

Did you ask him for a reference?

It's an awesome job market right now... I'm sure you'll have no problem at all. And congrats on getting rid of the asshole boss.

Apple should be so flattered that the legendary rone, the rone, is using Macs now that they should be offering you a job as a highly paid figurehead already.

Yeesh. Sounds like congratulations are in order for getting away from the asshole boss.

crikey, the shit that happens when i forget to log into lj and then remember and then have to catch up on 120+ entries and all of a sudden WTF just happened, etc.

i agree with the sage comments of those who have come before me: good damn riddance. he sounds like a filthy asshole, and while my cats seem intoxicated by that sort of thing, 'intoxicating to cats' hardly makes for 'good manager.'

and, we're, uh, free a lot. we'll do stuff with you.

I suspect you are wise. It'd be Windows anyhow. ;)

Cell phone while driving? Lots of places are making that one a firing offense.

Getting fired sucks though. If you were closer, I'd invite you to my Kentucky Derby Party.
