Urchin,

Sorry to hear about that bro.
Were you wrong to shout at the payroll clerk?? In a word Yes.
Ya gotta cool that temper buddy, females will always win in these situations.

Was it fair you were fired, in a word No?

Sounds like one of two things to me, was the manager who fired you a friend of the payroll clerk??. The manager was a she right?? I dont think thats just coincidental. Only natural she would side with the female clerk. The secind possibility is that they were looking for a reson to get rid of you. Maybe the payroll clerk deliberatley wound you up, perhaps knowing that you have a hot temper?

As for the future, I would first try and get a reasonable reference from them. Go to them saying, "C'mon guys this is my future"and perhaps volunteer to apologise to the clerk. This may be a pride thing for you but pride aint gonna put bread on the table. Failing that I would try and make up something to cover the year on your resume, something that sounds real plausable and is not easy to check.

Tell ya the truth, I would not hire ya if your references didnt check out, but I *might* if you were upfront and said It was a one off thing. So your choices are 1) get a reference 2) come up with a *very* good cover story or 3) be up front with potential new employers, if honesty is important to them then it may swing things your way. I would avoid number 2 if ya can, cause if someone came to me with even a slightly suspect story I'd check it in detail.

Hope it works out for ya, from knowin ya from Aces you seem like a good bloke. Why not use this as an opportunity to update your skills and develop a better career path??

Best Wishes,

Dave.

C'mon, Ski, that's a straw man.

Ok, how's this... you get really bad Karma?

Oh no Urchin, I'm not attempting to be polite at all. But...RUDE??? My apologizes if you thought I was being rude. Actually being rude would be cussing out a woman- I was striving to be insulting. See, YOU were the one who was rude here and you got your arse canned for it.

One question though- Would you have cussed out this woman had there been a fellow employee present? I'll bet you wouldn't have and I'll also bet you were trying to be intimidating in your nature towards her. LOL Evidence would be your claims to being a tough guy here. You were probably toejam canned because if you ever stepped even further over the lines of acceptable behavior the company would have been liable for a lawsuit from the payroll clerk.

Now about respect- An awful lot of us still open doors, offer seats to, show preference to and still respect the fairer sex. I was raised to never hit, curse, intimidate or otherwise harass a female other than my wife. You stepped over the line not only career wise but also manliness wise. Real men don't curse women.

Urchin, heres the best advice anyone will give you. Go into the store, go to back isle, pour some pine sole and water on the floor, slip on it and make a ruckuss. Imediately yell, "aahah!, my neck my neck, someone get me a doctor!" "I've fallen nd I cant get up".

Then get a lawyer. Ka chiing!!! $$$

Elfenwolf... I probably would have used foul language had the other employee not been there. Why? Because I was pissed off, and cursing is something I do when I'm pissed off.

You on the other hand, wouldn't dare do be as 'insulting' as you are on the BBS. Why? Because you'd be afraid I'd kick your bellybutton over it. But with the relative anonymity of the Internet, people can act much bolder than they would dare to in person.

I do find this line somewhat interesting -

Congratulations on being so chivalrous.

Oh, and I'm not bragging about being a 'tough guy'. I said I knew how to defend myself. There is a difference. I have been in two fights since I was a kid- the other guy started them, and I ended them. I don't start fights... in fact I was raised to believe that physical violence isn't the right way to solve a problem.... even if it IS your wife. Guess your parents overlooked that.

LOL Nah Urchin, cowards like you who abuse women don't scare me in the least. There's nothing I've said here I wouldn't say to your face- only a bully and a coward addresses women in such a manner so as to require a physical response. It's intresting to note the payroll clerk was female. Had the clerk been a male I'm sure your attitude would have been different.

Hmmmm, this seems like a character flaw you might want to change.

Stop throwing rocks at my pond!!!!

See elfenwolf.. there we are different. I treat everyone the same. Treat me with respect, and I'll treat you with respect. Treat me with disrespect, and you don't deserve my respect.

I don't care if someone is a woman... just because she is a woman does not give her the right to be rude. At least not where I live, it may be different where you live.

And yes, Elfenwolf... you would be scared to insult me to my face. Why? Because it is you, not I, who are the coward. People who have different standards of behaviour for different people and or forums (such as face to face, or over the Internet) or cowardly by nature.

Come to the convention next year. We'll meet and we can see if you would throw insults at me to my face. Hell, I'll probably even show great restraint and not pop you. Because I also know that people like you are quite petty (and did I mention cowardly?), and are more than willing to use the civil court system as a shield to hide your rude and/or insulting behaviour behind.

Still waiting on the callsign by the way....

MT.. whats the character flaw? Cursing when I get angry? Yea, that is probably something I should work on. Nobody is perfect.

Oh sheeesh, so here we go- come to the Conn and I'll whip your bellybutton in the parking lot. Sorry, but Ripsnort offered last year and I refused so I must again respectfully pass upon your offer of mutual combat in Dallas, Texas in August of 2003. Of course I understand this makes me a skeerdy-cat in your eyes but actually it's because I'm mature enough to know where to draw the line, bud. If I were an infintile jerk like you I would be an unemployeed clerk lamenting the fact their minimum wage Wal-Mart restocking job was lost and looking to kick bellybutton on all who stated I'm a loser.. Instead I'm laughing at your stupid bellybutton and realising more and more that the company who employeed your butt was justified in terminating your sorry ass. I hope they challange your unemployment and force you to get a job you are more suited for- nighttime janitorial work. You are a punk.

Urchin · « **Reply #73 on:** August 16, 2002, 09:41:45 PM »

Oh my, a wife-beater calling little old me a punk. Whatever shall I do?

Oh.. and still waiting for the callsign. Surely a hot stick at the top of the AH 'food chain' wouldn't be reluctant to give it out?

Urchin, your pry an amazinhunk.

I know I am, but I never treat people at work bad, that's just retarded. I tweak them to an extent when they act like tards, but it's a fine art, which needs a bit of people management skills, and plain outwitting the fools while humoring yourself at their clueless expense.

Flipping out and swearing? Why would you do that?

See, that's where the term "dumb-ass" comes from.

We ass's take draw a fine line. Being dumb would be that line.

Now regroup, get a resume printed, and find another career opportunity in a "retail store field." Whatever in the hell that is.
