I honestly don’t know how I got fired. So I took a few sick days. I took all of them in fact. And then I actually got sick. And I thought I was going to get a little break. You know, how can they expect someone who’s sick to come in and keep working. I would’ve just made everyone else sick. And you know what they told me. “We didn’t expect you to come in and keep working, that’s why we fired you.” And thus is the story of my being fired.

Now I should tell you the story of my being hired. I met this guy in a coffee shop in Inglewood. And the conversation started off really easy. We just started talking and then he said to me “you’re a smart guy. You should come work for me down in Long Beach” And I just thought “Nice this is my opportunity.” So I took the job. But I told him the commute was too much since I’m really from San Fernando. He told me I should move.

I told him I couldn’t afford it and he told me to look up car title loans in Long Beach, California. He said that in Long Beach the rate is only 6.6% a month because of laws. He told me that with the money I was making at my new job I’d be able to pay it back in only a few months. Auto pawn loans turned out to be great for me. I saved far more money from gas than I spent on the loan.

It was a different guy who tried to fire me. Once I’m no longer sick I’m going back there and getting my job back.
