His Facebook does have the story of the scam on it, but I think as people relationships as he has on there, he's a legit person.

Alright, tomorrow morning, i will wake up early, around 7:00 and then call the human resources department at ONG at 8:15 (give them time to get into the office).  Depending on what i hear there, I'm going to go to a couple different places tomorrow and look to see what I can find.  I'm hoping above all hope that I can get back on with ONG in some capacity.  Like I said, even if it's not my old job, then the call center, meter reading, service tech, dispatch.  Whatever, I'll take it.

I just saw my fiancee' this evening as we went to a home Bible Study and had fellowship.  I was crying on the inside because I feel i've let her down.  However, I know that if I just work at it long enough, and be patient, but don't be picky, I'll find a job fairly soon.  Like I said, I've got enough funds to last me until mid-September, which is not long, but hopefully, I can find something long before then.  I am really hoping I can be working again before this week ends.

She understands I was just trying to make things better for us, albeit in a foolish manner, but she understands where I'm coming from, but is glad that I've cut my ties to the company.  She doesn't like the fact that I quit ONG in a rush, but she's not mad or anything.

3 days ago you said "Instead, I'll have a couple weeks to train and work at the same time.  The way it's looking, I have at most one more month at ONG."

How did you go from a month left to no job there so fast?

And please tell me you didn't give them your SS# and bank account info.

The first question - I misjudged the timeline.

The second question - nope, i gave them none of those.

Dude you didn't misjudge the timeline, you purposefully destroyed the timeline by giving no notice and just quitting.

Now get out a big fork and start eating crow.

There is a lesson here about not quitting your job without two weeks notice. Even if you get a new obviously legitimate one it's quite possible it just won't work out. In BushOK's case if he had bothered to do so he could've just rescinded his resignation now and the whole thing would've just have been a rather embarrassing experience instead of the crisis it is now.

Mostly because you knew that train was coming, and only BushOK lacked the foresight to notice. I am almost certain there will be another twist to this before it's over. I see a move to Arizona and a shotgun wedding on the horizon if Susan doesn't get cold feet and leave first.

Very true, though in general it is highly inadvisable for any poor to quit a job, and most particularly a job at a public utility.

Really BushOK was incredibly lucky to have as good a position as he had - the majority of poors work for $7-8/hour and have to do backbreaking labour.

Working at a big box store or fast food outlet is backbreaking labour? We have illegals to do the hard jobs.

Yes, obviously.  If you think otherwise you have no idea what it is like.

I once worked at a supermarket for a day, and I was required to stand up the entire time!  I was shocked.

I have a hard labor job where I make $9 an hour interning at a law firm too. I understand opebo's plight! I haven't had a thing to do productive all day! Just standing and sitting at a computer with occasional request to go to the courthouse which is an unreasonable 2 blocks away!

Spoiled boy, imagine being required to stand on a concrete floor for 4 hours, then 4 hours again after a brief eating-break.  Do you not understand that this will cause severe pain in legs and feet, and in many cases permanent damage?

So says another privileged.  How many fat assed office workers sitting in ergonomic chair will we hear from?

The term 'back-breaking labor' implies labour which causes physical pain, exhaustion, and even physical changes.  I for one certainly believe that the toils forced upon poors at the Fast Food restaurant and the 'Big Box' store fit that definition perfectly.

I wouldn't mind your offensive disregard for their condition if they were getting a $35/hour union wage, full benefits, and retirement, but they get less than subsistence.  (I grew up around construction guys who suffered abominably due to toils, but at least they got a living out of it).

Here is an update:  I went two places today and applied at a couple other places.  The first thing  did, though, was call ONG's HR department and he is going to sit down with the HR manager and the hiring supervisor of my department and see what he can do.  He should let me know by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.  One job I should hear back from either the end of the day today or first thing tomorrow.  It's not much different than what I was doing before, with basically the same pay, except a little farther drive.

For the sake of gasoline, I am through searching for today, and will resume early tomorrow morning after I vote.  (Oklahoma's primary is tomorrow).

They bloody well aught to whine, GG.  Accepting miseries imposed on you by force by your betters is not a sign of strength of character - its a sign of weakness.
