The Psycho Ex-Girlfriend Chronicles
Third Entry
| <---Second Entry Out of eight or nine jobs, I’ve only been fired from one job in my lifetime, and even then I wasn’t really fired. They ‘ended my seasonal employment’ instead. Considering about a week before they officially hired me full-time to work year-round. Yeah, I was fired. I had a job at Target doing overnight work during the holiday season when I was 17. Working 10pm to 6am had its perks, namely being able to take a break from the girlfriend. She was good about it though. She always drove me to work every night and picked me up before she went to work herself in the morning. She had her times of being a great girlfriend. One night of her taking me to work almost negated all of that. She went to drop me off one night when she wanted to have one of those ‘state of the relationship’ talks. I really needed to be on time at work because after a ten-minute leeway, they locked the doors for the night, so I told her it’d have to wait. Her- Fine. I guess your job is more important than me. She opted not to kiss me and I went to work. This was at 10:05pm. At 11pm or so, my phone rings. Stupid me had it in my pocket while I worked. I answered it to find out my girlfriend was still in the parking lot. She had been there for an hour apparently, maybe to cool down from insane to just plain crazy. She did that a lot actually. She’s crying and screaming and doing whatever girls do when they’re mad and it became really annoying. If it was anyone else, I would have been concerned. This girl did this quite often, so it never anything special and my patience often wears thin. I attempted to talk her down and get her to go home. I was really never successful at that, but this time I was hopeful. She sounded like she had calmed down and we hung up. I think to myself, "I handled that really well. Maybe this is a turning point in our relationship." About ten minutes later I am pulling a pallet down one of the aisles by the front of the store when my phone rings again. I think to myself that I should have learned to throw it in my locker just before I answer it. It was the girlfriend, of course, but this time she was standing at the front door threatening to bang on the windows and daring to repeatedly ring the doorbell (yes, Target has/had a doorbell). This was not what I needed at all. I liked my job and I wasn't in the mood to lose it. To prevent such a scene, I left my shit and I snuck outside to deal with the problem. I don’t really remember what the argument was about. All I remember is it was big and it was nasty and in a dark parking lot. That’s how unimportant our issues actually were. I’m sure it was something to the nature of me putting my job before our ‘love' or something. All I know is I got called to the executive office the following week to be ‘let go’. I was told this had nothing to do with what had happened the week prior, but I knew she was full of shit. She went on to tell me how ‘poor’ my performance was and so on. Whatever. Fuck her. I went to see my girlfriend afterwards and hate-fucked her in retaliation. She was into shit like that. Fucking Psycho. ”It's not as if you liked that job anyway. I'm glad you got fired. Now we can spend more time together and I can help you find a better place to work with better hours so I can see you more.” Labels: Psycho Ex-Girlfriend |
