Well this has been a really crummy week for me. Crushed my glasses. Broke my big toe *ouch*. And now I might loose my job today.
Stepped on my glasses by accident on my way out the door Friday.
The weekend was fun... went up to Alma College for Homecoming. Got to hang with all my Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia brothers. Sing in the Alumni Choir and be in the parade.
But I crushed my right big toe on some stairs.
And now I have to have a meeting with my big boss and see if I've lost my job. Yay. *sigh*

When will you go and talk with him?

(((Telp)))
Want me to make you some chocolate chip cookies? That always cheers me up a bit!
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
The meeting is at 2pm.
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
yes! Chocolate chip cookies!
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
I hope this works out OK! Sorry about your glasses and toe. Ouch.
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
Dude, that sucks. But then again, maybe not. If it does turn out you're looking for a job, think of it as an oppertunity to find one better than the one you left.
Drop me a note if you wanna rant.
Karl

*hug* good luck on the meeting.
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
I hope everything works out alright. Sorry to hear about your toe and your glasses. Like KarlEd said, maybe the job thing is a chance for a fresh start.
Take care and don't break anymore toes.

Telp, that sucks. Broken toes HURT> I hope all works out with your job. Posted by Psycho Triad (Member # 3331) on :

Hang in there.

<thoughts with you, dude>
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
When you get a chance, contact me via AIM, will 'ya, telp?
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
Telp, you've probably heard by now, but good luck in that meeting!

*puts a dozen virtual chocolate chip cookies on Telp's doorstep*
Yummmmmmmmm, can't you just smell the chocolatey goodness? I hope they help!
(((Telp)))
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
He probably has heard by now and hasn't posted yet - I can't help but think is this a bad sign.
Sorry dude, I know how much that sucks.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
This weekend we may some cookies that, if left on a doorstep, could have occasioned the crushed toe. My husband was doubling the recipe and didn't double the butter. D'oh!
-----career vibes----- for Karl. Not that career vibes from me are especially effective.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
I think Karl was passing on the ranting offer to Telp in the event he finds himself looking for a job.

Is it? Wow, I did not realize that. Yep, it's a Monday.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Telp, how did the meeting go? Well, I hope.
Have you gotten new glasses yet?
Sorry about the toe. That's the one part of all of this that I'm having trouble coming up with a silver lining for.
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
Pff...the toe can easily be used to get a hot guy to pamper you for an evening. Think outside the box, man.
(((Karl)))
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
*fingers crossed for good news
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
See, I was thinking that the clerk at the eyeglasses place would be hot, and that he and Telpy would hit it off. Maybe Telp could juggle two guys at once though, I don't know. Or maybe the three of them could have an polyamorous relationship.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
I sympathize. Hugely. I've broken my littlest toes five times - three times on right foot, twice on left. It hurts like the dickens.
Good luck.
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
worried about not hearing from Telp. I managed to stub my toe last night getting into bed. I stubbed it on my own steel toed shoe.

Posted by Stray (Member # 4056) on :
I hope he's okay. Did he post from work a lot? If he's been disciplined in some way, maybe he isn't able to do that anymore...at any rate:

Posted by Eduardo_Sauron (Member # 5827) on :
I hope Telp is well...tsc...

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Thinking about you, Telp.
I've broken toes too - it hurts like the devil. Not fun, not fun at all.
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
thanks so much everybody for your vibes and thoughts.
Bad news. Got fired.

Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Sorry about that, Telp.
I hope you find a new and better job as soon as possible. Hopefully, it will be one which lets you sit down for long periods of time, at least until your toe heels .

Oh man! Why? Did they tell you why?

Aw, man. I'm sorry.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Was it the beard? I know you had mentioned tensions over that before. (((Telp)))
Posted by CStroman (Member # 6872) on :
Dang. That week sounds bad. I hope it only goes up from here! After all monday is in the past.
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Today seemed like Monday part 2, including three near accidents in the company van.
Oy.
On the bright side, I'm gonna get sloshed with a buddy and spend a couple hours of ranting about the day.
Good luck Telp - getting fired sucks, but you'll get another job. And the next one won't kvitch about your beard.
-Trevor
Posted by Lime (Member # 1707) on :
Jeez, Telp, I'm sorry to hear this. That's a lot of bad stuff for one week to contain. I haven't broken any toes before, but I have been fired before and it ain't a good feeling.
The good news is that you can find a better thing out there for you. I've been fired/laid off twice since I started working, and I got a better job both times 'round. Here's hoping, man.
Btw, were you laid off or fired? Being laid off is as good as being fired nowadays, but there is a slight technical difference.
Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :
I'm sorry Telp.
((((((((((Telp))))))))))
We love you Telpie. Things'll get better.

Drat, Morgoth did this same thing! Messing with the Telperion! Don't worry, Manwe's gonna chain him up and then you get to morph into a Silmaril. I already read the whole story and trust me, everything turns out great in the end.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Telperion>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You'll get a better job! You're lucky to be gone from that place! Pfffft! Bunch of Losers! How COULD they?

Telp, bad things come in clumps.
But then, I've found, a big ol' wave of good stuff will catch you unawares.
Posted by Stray (Member # 4056) on :
Aw, damn. I'm sorry. But try to enjoy the free time, and good luck on finding a new (and better) job soon!

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Sorry to hear that Telp. Hopefully some siver lining will quickly become apparent. Maybe this'll motivate you to make some change in your life that will leave you happier than you've ever imagined you could be. Stranger things have happened.
Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :
((((Telp)))) That rots. I hope your next job has better pay and no one cares about the beard. How does your toe feel? Arnica will help with that.
Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :
Thanks again guys. Means alot. *hugs back*
Naw... wasn't the goatee. I gave in and changed styles. Cut my hair too. I'm hyper cute with my new do.
It's complicated... but short version is that at the main station the custom has been afterhours or on the weekends an officer can leave for a bit and get some food. It is an unspoken thing and managment looks the other way. Well apparently one of the new girls ratted me out and made a stink about it. Or my big boss was just looking for a reason to get rid of me. Who knows. Six years of my life down the drain.
Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
I guess that's one way to run a company.
