Last Friday I got in my car and headed to what I thought was my 'new' job. When I got there I was halted from sitting at what I knew to be my new 'area' and told there was 'news'.
"We've had to put on a hiring freeze cuz of this virus 'thing'... you're welcome to work out the day and we'll pay you as a contractor. There is still a ton of work for you to do but you will now be paid as a contractor per instance. We will not be hiring until the Fall at the earliest. We've had to let a number of our Staff go just this morning... sorry."
** ummmm... but... I signed an NDA last Tuesday... filled out the fucking forms and tax shit... I even see my new Mac... it's... right there. **
To add insult to the already aching kick in the balls... some dude was just arriving to my 'area' and was dismantling that gorgeous new cheesegrater that I'll now never touch...
... no shit... took the fucking thing apart and tossed it in his little IT cart right in front of me as I was being told I had no job.
:(
So I went home. Some might call that foolish... that I should sit out the day and hope for contract work. Instead I had some freelance opportunities already out there so I opted to just head home and get to work.
Today rolls around... got a phone call from ^ Them ^ and they are now up my ass about a ton of rush work pertaining to this retarded virus and their current business relationship w/their vendors and the public. I told them I can't get it to them till Friday as I have other shit in front of them. They're cool w/that... and proceeded to add more work to my list.
I'm actually overwhelmed at the moment and should get the fuck off QBN and get some shit done. Since Monday I've managed to gather up a few additional projects which will more than provide for Me and Mine the next couple months. To be cliche a moment: It's certainly 'funny' how things work out. :)
Hang in there, Everyone. <3
