things about the Coin Op Comic

Hey everyone, sorry for not posting in a while...Been too busy and nothing really of any importance to write about here. If you glanced over at the forums lately you probably already know about this job I'm more than likely going to take. And John added onto the forum 1 very good and valid point, my track record with former employers is really lousy...In the way that I pick companies that will treat me like dirt.

I can't go into too much detail (like names and such) but I can say this
In this order
My previous job delivery and installation of office furniture- After I was shot at (with a BB gun) degraded, insulted, worked on holidays and weekends to get salespeople their little commissions (and the delivery guys getting next to nothing) and farted on.....Yes I said farted on. I quit after my "friend" calls me into his office, tells me he is going to demote me, and blames me for multiple problems that he couldn't verify(I was guilty of 1 incident, and I can't really do much when an "important" job is handed to the 2 SMALLEST guys on the crew and only one of them having a grasp of the english language)....Then after asking if they wanted me demoted or fired, it led to my "friend" getting up and yelling "You're going to quit tomorrow aren't you?!?!"
Before that - Jewelry store . Short version...The owner accused me of not getting a customers job done (which I didn't because leaving ONLY a picture on a piece of paper really isn't describing what they want done) so I told the customer how the owner DIDN'T really tell anyone what was to be done. I also told the owner that if he EVER blamed me for him not wanting to work, I will walk out on him. And he did, the weekend after Christmas. And I walked, I packed my gear, and left the store.
The 3rd arcade I worked at (and the one the strip is loosely based on) - Fired me because I admitted to a mistake on weekly paperwork. There was an error that says I was short 100 tokens, I found the error and called it in, and the following day I was let go. This was the FIRST mistake after I was finally trained after 9 months of waiting (yes, I waited 9 months to learn how to "properly" do my job at the game room) I was fired for admitting to a mistake of a whole whopping $25 dollars.

And I'll stop there cause I'm taking a lot of time on a general rant. But the point is there....I think.
Once bitten twice shy and I'm been bitten about 7 times now.....So pray for me, that I can make the right choice on this miracle job offer I'm hoping to get here.
