The rants and ravings of Bob

I don't know who I pissed off in a past life, but Karma is really kicking my ass now. After many, many tries, I'm still without a roomate. The people I find either back out at the last moment, or, I let slip through because I don't followup up as needed. That would be OK though, because I had a second job to supplement my income.. Well...Not anymore.... Heres the story.

About a week ago, or so, I had 2 jobs, and two people potentially interested in moving in with me. The potentials, one was a co-worker, the other someone I met online. The co-worker had to back out because of an issue regarding the house he is currently living in (and owns) and something to do with a loan for said house. The other, I had kind of let slide shortly after meeting him out at a bar last Tuesday. I did not follow through on calling him, and he took another offer he had.

As for the job, I lost my part time job at the gas station Monday, after they accused me of stealing. There was an investigation being done after the last audit showed significant losses. In typical company fashion, their first assumption is to blame the employees. They never said they had proof of me actually doing anything wrong, but said they MAY, and then they interrorgated, intimidated, and badgered me into admitting I MAY of forgotten to pay for 1 or 2 items. Did I actually do this? I doubt it. I am not that kind of person. After being raked over the coals for an hour, being accused of stealing just about anything that wasn't nailed down, taking money for gas purchases then recording them as a drive off, and other things, I stupidly signed a statement saying that I may of taken 1 soda. They decided to fire me over that. Nevermind the fact that I was a hard, loyal, dedicated worker for the year that I was there. Even though the hours were very inconvenient, I still came in every time I was scheduled, stayed late, even though I had to work my full time job the next day, sometimes staying as late as 2 or 3am, when I had to work at 8am the next day.

I was relying in that job to fill in the small gap left between my main job and the cost of my bills, and provide me with basically my spending money. Now, luckily, this happened just as the holidays are starting, so I should be able to easily find something, at least through Christmas to fill in the gap Speedway is leaving. After that, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, hopefully I can make that job last past the holidays.

The past few days I've been extremely depressed by all this. I felt that I was treated unfairly, and that I was forced into confessing into something that didn't happen, just so they could have a scapegoat to pin the losses on. Now, I was never actually charged with anything, so this would not appear on a criminal record.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed things work out. For the next month, I should be OK....I hope...
