re: I was fired today.

I've been let go twice and fired once. The time I was fired was because I called an old man an SOB. It was after he made me spend my lunch break walking behind a truck, picking up cross ties where we had laid pipe. Later that day, I was beating the dope off a pipe where they'd found a bad place, I was going to have to cut out. Some guy said something about how hard I was beating it. I looked at the old bastard and said, "You can doing anything if you get mad enough at a son of a bitch."

When I showed up at the office for work the next day a lady came out and told me they didn't need me any more.

I was the college boy working a summer job, and the summer was almost over. I got to hang out at Folly Beach for a week before going back to school.
