And I also think that Op should 273 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: get all of the proceeds of the house but still 274 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: help out his mother and say that like, hey, you've 275 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: shown that you cannot manage your money at all.

And 337 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: so I went to him and I was like, what 338 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: was that thing about ten thousand dollars And basically like 339 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: we made money overall. 340 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: But there was ten thousand dollars decrease from when they 341 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: were running it. 342 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: There was basically an area of the ads where it's 343 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: like this was completely like completely unnecessarily dude, and it 344 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: was right at the point where I finally felt like 345 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm freaking like, I'm freaking crushing it. 346 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: Yeah what I mean? And then dude, I cracked my 347 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: pants so hard. 348 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: But then he literally was like, it's no big deal, 349 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: like he mentioned it so nonchalantly. 350 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: Because it was actually not a big deal. 351 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: And and again they made money in the grand scheme 352 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: of things, but this, you know. 353 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 2: For this one probs lost. But I was like, well, 354 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: I have a story about someone getting fired but then 355 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: taking sweet sweet revenge. Oh delicious. My boss fired me, 356 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 2: so I told his wife about his private meetings with 357 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: his secretary. About ten years ago, when I was nineteen, 358 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: I worked for a regional grocery store in the meatpacking department, 359 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: yes you know where. Immediately, pay was bad and I 360 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: had a second shift. I came in at three and 361 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: left at eleven. It wasn't a terrible job, all things considered. 362 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: I had the meat room to myself, the meatroom being 363 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: that meatroom at the meatroom all to myself, so I 364 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 2: could listen to music and really just not be annoyed 365 00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: by other employees. 366 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: Es. 367 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: When I showed up was to package more ground beef 368 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 2: and other beef based products and put them on the 369 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 2: shelf after five I also had to juggle working behind 370 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 2: the deli counter. Oh well, shortly after getting hired, the 371 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: boss of the meat department, the meat daddy Man, Big 372 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 2: meat Man, showed back up from vacation and I was 373 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: the new guy. Everything was fine in the beginning, but 374 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: I found when I would clock in, the lady behind 375 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: the counter, well call her, V wouldn't be there and 376 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: there would be a line. So I would clock in 377 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: spend the first thirty minutes of my shift doing her job, 378 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: no problem. I actually liked that position. And then well 379 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: after the line was done, I would almost always see 380 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: mister boss man staring me down, angry I'm not doing 381 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 2: my job. He would give me a rant about doing 382 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: my duties unless customers needed my help, and they almost 383 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 2: always did, but he wouldn't listen. I come to find 384 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 2: out the reason V isn't behind the counter is because 385 00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 2: her and mister boss Man are having meetings in that 386 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: meatpacking office with the door close. He's back in some 387 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: meatback though. Yeah, that's for sure. Me not my husband 388 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 2: or wife, not my problem. We continue this dance of 389 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: me covering her station and getting in trouble for it 390 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: for a few weeks until an ice storm hits. I 391 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: tell my boss I can't move my car out and 392 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: I'm waiting on a ride, so I might be a 393 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: little late. He proceeded to fire me on the spot 394 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 2: because this is the last straw. Uh what? Yeah? By 395 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: the way, I hadn't had any write ups. I agree 396 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: that it's fine because I hate this job. Anyway. Fast 397 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 2: forward two years, I'm twenty one and I'm celebrating with 398 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: my friends at basically the only local bar in this terrible, 399 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: tiny crap hole town. And then we walk in and 400 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: who do I see? Why? If it isn't mister boss 401 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: and not V but his wife. He looks at me 402 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: and tries to act like it's a happy coincidence. I 403 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: sit down, tell him it's my twenty First he buys 404 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: me a beer as a gift, and I chat him up. 405 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 2: Enter my revenge. I introduced myself to his wife and 406 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: tell her how he treated me, talking about how I 407 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: would cover the deli counter almost every shift for half 408 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: an hour and then get in trouble for it because 409 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: it wasn't my job. No matter how many times I tried, 410 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 2: I kept telling mister boss man, I wouldn't have to 411 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: cover DELI if he and v weren't having their daily 412 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: lock door meeting in his office. WHOA. She looked at him, 413 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: looked at me, and couldn't say a word. It could 414 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: be read as pretty crappy. But his wife was super 415 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: polite and friendly and not in that crappy Southern religious style, 416 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: but a genuinely nice person. I'm glad I could help 417 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: her pull the wool to let her know her husband 418 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: is complete garbage person. Wow. Yep.
