AGGHH! i just got fired!!!

[AKIRA]

Oh man, i am depressed, i am a bartender at this bar/resteraunt over here in melbourne. As some of you may recall im travelling to the USA (Nyc, LA and San Fran) in a little less than 3 weeks, i still needed about 1 grand more, and i was going to work these next 3 weeks non-stop. All my accomadation is paid for and ive got a little spending money for food, but i really did need a little more for shopping and a few nice things, especially some laker memorabilia. Anyway, i went into work today to get my pay because i need to transfer it into US dollars, anyway, boss tells me straight up, no warning, "we all think your doing a really bad job, you dont listen, you dont take instructions well, you dont show initiative, blah blah blah, we cant give you anymore shifts". I am so tired of crap like this, so i was just like "whatever dude, im out" and that was that. But now i feel terrible, my girlfriend is over in NYC at the moment on a study tour run by our university, im meeting her on christmas evening, and im not going to have enough money for food. its made me really depressed, all my friends are on holiday, so i have nobody to talk to about it, this sucks major bollocks. god damn it. i cant write anymore.

I'm just happy you can at least make the trip. Can you find some other temporary job? Good luck man.

[Dumpy]

You're being fired because they don't like that you will be taking __ weeks off to travel, and they've found someone to replace you now.

[AKIRA]

gee thanks, way to make me feel better...captian fucking obvious!!!god.

thanks heuvon, i mean im not too bumed out, i do get to go still, its just that it kind of through the spanner in my plans, in terms of affording food and a few nice things, i dont know, i'll probably find something in the next few days, but i dont know, i just feel kind rejected thats all.

my point was that you shouldn't take their excuse seriously, in the event you actually thought that you were fired because of the job you were doing. It's just spite.

[AKIRA]

oh right, sorry man.

[Dumpy]

sorry I didn't explain myself better. Don't let it get you down. More time to pack!

[DynastYWarrioR6]

while you are going door to door, case out a few places for easy burglarizing. and look for sweet places to sleep, seeing as how your jobless ass will be homeless soon.

[AKIRA]

haha funny. im 18 years old, i still live at home with my parents. and there is a rent crisis in melbourne so i dont think i'll be moving out for at least another year or maybe even 2.

[Shapecity]

AKIRA don't let it ruin your trip bro. Besides the economy is shit in the US right now so there's a lot of good deals all over the place.

Here's a few good sources for food, events & what not:

http://www.yelp.com/ .. great source for food
http://www.sfstation.com .. great source when you visit SF
http://theguide.latimes.com/ .. great source when you visit LA

I've never been to NY, but you might want to PM Petey for some places to check out that won't cost a lot of money.
