The tales of a 30 something gay stand-up comic living in NYC who is searching for his soul mate or soul...which ever comes first.

Devastated and Desperate


So today I am working my butt off at Eaton, getting files ready for upload into the database. Around 2:00, Brian calls me into a conference room and closes the door. I’ve been through this before…the closed-door routine is not a good sign.
“As you know, we have had budgetary issues in our department. Because of this, we have to make some cuts, so today will be your last day with us. Since you have worked here so long, we are letting you stay until the end of the day so you can say goodbye to anyone you would like to say goodbye to”. THIS IS THE MOTHERFUCKING 4TH TIME IN 2 YEARS!!!! I can’t take being unemployed anymore! I don’t need to make millions, but it would be nice to make enough that I’m not living paycheck to paycheck. I’m still ticked that they didn’t let the other temp go, but I had a feeling it would be me as I was paid double what she was getting paid.

Fuck you George Bush! How about telling corporations if they want their taxes lowered, we will base it on the number of jobs they create? That would make too much sense.

As for my situation, I am pretty much screwed. I have enough money in the bank to pay August bills and then I am up the creek. I'll have to sell of the last of my stock and pray to whatever god there is that the agency places me somewhere else soon. REAL SOON
