Blue2003 0 #1 January 9, 2003 Just went back to work today after injury at Elloy. Walked in or should I say Hopped on my crutches. Sat down, got called in office and fired. So here I sit unemployed, middle of winter can't work, can't jump, two kids can't turn on beer light too early. I think I should runaway to a warm dropzone and become fulltime skydiver, well maybe manifester while I heal."Cloudy Skies look different through skydivers eyes. Is that a hole in the clouds I see?"

sunshine 2 #2 January 9, 2003 What was their reason for firing you? Hope it had nothing to do with your injury. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessd 0 #4 January 9, 2003 Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you'll find a new job sooner rather than later. Keep your head up - things can only get better!

Blue2003 0 #6 January 9, 2003 They said not due to my injury, but I don't believe them. I negotiated this week off when I got this job since Eloy was planned for months, then when I got hurt I couldn't go back on Jan 3 like I was supposed to, I went back today."Cloudy Skies look different through skydivers eyes.

Blue2003 0 #7 January 9, 2003 Can you believe I told them on last Friday I was on crutches and in a ski Boot and they let me drive there this morning PS it is my right foot that is hurt, hop in on crutches and fire me 5 minutes later. You would think they could have done it by phoneQuote"Cloudy Skies look different through skydivers eyes. Is that a hole in the clouds I see?" Let's get driving!
