+1…
I was fired when doing Field Service, It was by far the worst job I had ever had, but It paid well… I was fired for showing up at 8:10 to a customers place, which was in INDIANA PA… I was supp to be there at 8am sharp… Sorry, with an hour and a half drive, shit happens… and I told my boss that when he called, and he asked me to stop into the office (In IRWIN) after I was finished in Indiana, and they canned me.
I bought the GTO in Feb 2007, with 4,500 miles, I was fired in July 2007 and the car had 19,000 miles on it… the $0.48 a mile on top of my salary was not worth it.
But things worked out in the end, I found a temp job at my buddys company in Leetsdale, left there in december, and found the job I am at now, in Glenshaw, 6 miles from home, and the owners and everybody here are incredible, So getting fired was also the best thing that ever happened to me.
