End of an era for me. I have zero explanation for anything that happened over the past three and a half years.

I already know that I don't want to work there. And that they won't fire me. And I don't mind not being completely honest with clients. I just can't determine if I'd be sticking my nose into her scheme or doing something she'd appreciate.

UPDATE!!! My coworker/"boss" sent me an email to proceed with the report she wants even after the client specifically requested more! She didn't mention the client email at all. So, I guess it is her intention to be shady and I'll just give her what she's asking for. Whatever.

I work with so many crazy people that I never even know where to begin in the co-worker thread.

When I first met the guy who got fired, though, he was standing at his desk chugging water straight out of a gallon sized milk carton. Like, he just held it in one hand like it was a coffee mug. He was basically a body builder. Big muscles. He put the water down on his desk, said "wusup", shook hands, and then went directly back to chugging.

The second time I saw him was on Friday of that week. He was out in back of the building, standing behind this enormous grill loaded with burgers and brats and dancing to whatever music he had on. He was occasionally calling for someone to throw a football to him and then he'd throw it back really high and far. He was wearing shorts and flip-flops and these gigantic sunglass that weren't ski goggles, but the lens in them was like the size of the lens in ski goggles. I later learned that they were several hundred dollars and Italian.

He was like 27 and dating an older woman. A woman who is like seventeen years his senior. A woman who also happened to work in our office.

My company once fired someone with cause. That person hired a lawyer. My company opted to let them come back to work rather than fight it. That person has been back at work for like two years.

Halloween costume day! This may be the nerdiest costume I've ever seen. This guy has a shark's head coming out of the front of his shirt with fake blood and all and he has a toy chainsaw as a prop. Sharknado, right? But GET THIS. He also has, hanging from around his neck, a photo of himself talking to Ian Ziering at a comic book convention in front of a Sharknado backdrop. Haha.

The photo is terrible, too, because he didn't buy the official $100 promo photo, but had someone else take it from a distance on their phone. You can't even see his face in it - just the back of his head.

Sounds like you worked with some really interesting people, chum.  I hope your new gig isn't full of boring normal people.

I just got off the phone with my uncle. He's going to email some literature as pre training. Then send some leads my way to get my feet wet over the summer. I have the option to work remotely, but I said I'd rather move to Denver and get some more intensive training so that I could have a great chance to succeed and be a greater asset to the company. They are expanding within the next few months and may be looking to open offices in different cities. I told him that we would keep in contact and that I would start saving money for the move.

He closed off the conversation, as he should, by asking me about how my substance abuse issues are going. I let him know that I would not be moving out to Denver if I did not have a firm grasp on them. He let me know that as long as I am committed to working hard he would be committed to me.

In short, the job would fit very well with my skill set, and it is mine if I want it down the road (this summer or whenever) but I need to make sure that I have a solid grasp on sobriety and good contacts in the Denver area before I go.

This is great news guys and makes SdK very happy. SdK enjoys sobriety very much and looks forward to his future.

Thank you. It feels great to not feel so pigeon holed by my choices in life. I'm very appreciative of him letting me work remotely while I save money.

It's a huge risk for him, not just with me but with any new guy, financially. Time he takes away from his duties to train takes 4k out of his pocket a month.

I enjoy pressure and competition.

be sure to be in a good place sobriety/support wise, as you seem to clearly know, before thinking this will resolve it

My first goal will be to see if Schultz is interested. My uncle's company doesn't need the business, but it'd be a great way to get my feet wet and be a liaison. No pressure on my BIL, but it'd be nice to have that as my first customer. Both companies would benefit greatly. Oh and it'd help me out a ton. :D
