I Asked for the Green and Got the Pink

So my last blog left off with my asking my boss for my paycheck and my not being able to get a response from him. Well, late Sunday night I received a call, not from my boss, but from his wife, informing me that they would have to let me go. Well, that's some kind of record, isn't it? I worked there for a whole week. Then, apparently, my boss decided that I was the kind of pain-in-the-ass employee who expects a paycheck for work I've done. I was informed that my check would be mailed to me. Day after day after day passed and no check. On Thursday, Jeff said that he would "take care of it".

Jeff drove to the office. As soon as my former boss was informed that "Kimberly's husband" was there to see him, he actually issued the check, asking Jeff how our last name is spelled. He then launched into this big story about how he has a small office and that I was a good worker but that he just couldn't afford to keep me on. I am so happy that I went through the interview process, got hired, attempted to implement a new filing system, learned a new computer system and got let go all in the same week.

I am left scrambling around, trying to find a new job again. Needless to say, I am done with lawyers. Done, done, done. No mas.

Anybody hiring? I am a good employee. I have skills.

I do expect to get paid for working, though.

Will that be a problem?

Gosh, this sucks! :-(

I'd hire--and pay--you if I could.
