Can anything else go wrong?

I have not bolgged in a really long time, so sorry.
So around a month ago I was fired again. I worked for Express Scripts, a PBM (pharmacutical benefits management company). They have a very strict policy on attendence, at least durring the first 6 weeks. You can be late once and absent once due to emergency. I had already reached that level and it was week 4. No surprise, huh? I was late for the third time, but only by 2 minutes. That was enough to warrant my termination. Not even 30 mins after arriving I was pulled into the office and told of my fate. I will be eligible for re-hire in 6 months. Now I have to leave the premises, I was not even allowed to return and say good bye to anyone. :-( I was escorted from the building via the security desk, where they took my badge and basically destroyed it right in front of me. I didnt think I could feel any worse, after seeing that, the bottom fell out of my stomach and I sank further into being depressed. So ended my time at ESI.


I've been looking for work since that day, and have not found much to go off of. About a week after leaving ESI my car decided to stop running, and I don't know why. I mean, come on, it was a 1993 Chevrolet Corsica. The shop wants $1200 to tear apart my engine just to find out why, and then however much it's going to cost to repair the damage. I told them to just keep the car, since I bought it for $1100. Add that to my list of things to do.

Let's just say that my Holiday season was not particularly the best.
