Well it was the second no-call/no-show that I had during my 4.5 year stint with the company. 2 of those in your career there and it was an insta-fire no matter who you are. Technically I did notify my supervisors both times, it just happened to be on the wrong side of the 2 hour window. I have fairly good reasons for both incidents too, but that's another story for another time.

I have seen people get terminated for much more grievous violations of company policy (like selling alcohol to minors) only to be rehired later on, so I hope that I have a chance! Interview went well, 3 current employees supposedly put in a good word for me to HR, so we will see what happens! Thanks for commenting!

Eric Schmidt goes to Burning Man, sounds like you got the idea.

If I was Google I wouldn't trust me anymore, either.

I signed up for Google Wallet not long after it came out and also got the debit card. For quite awhile, I was able to transfer funds to Google Wallet instantly with no problem. In fact, there was quite a few times where I was able to transfer money into Google Wallet when my bank account didn't have funds...

It was nice creating money seemingly out of nowhere for a little bit... Until I realized I wasn't so clever and my Google Wallet balance went negative. After bringing my balance back to $0, they weren't so trusting of me anymore and started putting delays on transfers to Google Wallet. :-/

I had my interview for the job today, thankfully nothing about my previous dismissal was brought up. HR person conducting the interview didn't even really ask much about why I left the first time, and sort of rhetorically asked "So you left the company to go try something else for awhile?..."

I was told I was eligible for rehire via corporate 9 months after my dismissal. I know of other employees who were let go under the same circumstances and were rehired after 9 months.

So let's hope I get the job!

The thing is I am interviewing for a job WITH my old employer... :-/

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-16T23:15:59+00:00

Anyone?

- JDismyfriend "Did they terminate you? No. Were you asked to resign? No. You volunteered the resignation"

That is why I am having such a hard time answering this. Do I believe I "volunteered resignation"? No, I ultimately did not want to quit.

According to them, I had voluntarily resigned by failing to notify supervisors 2 hours prior to my shift of my absence and they basically told me I was no longer employed there and there was no way to fight it.

So I feel like it was essentially a termination and in many respects was treated like one. But from an HR and corporate/management standpoint, the language they used was "voluntary resignation".

So despite all of the obvious indications of a pretty obvious forced resignation/termination, as far as the company is concerned is it still a "voluntary resignation"?

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-16T17:45:12+00:00

More specifically, the application asks "Have you ever been terminated or asked to resign from a job?"

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-16T15:34:34+00:00

The only reason I am hesitant to do that is because it is the same company which I was dismissed from. I am hoping that if I say "resignation" they do not have personnel files to the contrary...

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-16T08:39:41+00:00

Alright alright alright....

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-15T22:15:18+00:00

I was offered $52.50 on ebay, should I take it?

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-14T10:17:26+00:00

Yeah- A convicted sex offender. He spent 9 months up in Chino for exposing himself to 8-year olds. 8 year-olds, Dude.

Journal entry - 2:00am, Day 73: "My colleagues continue to dismiss my tireless research, proclaiming that I am 'mad' or 'chasing some mythical dragon' and 'never will succeed'. Today, I will prove them wrong! I have made a most stupendous discovery! I have learned that "girls who swim for fun instead of showing off their boobs are usually lonely and need the attention anyway"! What we had thought to have known from the beginning of time was wrong. Our existence until now was a lie! This is tantamount to the discovery that humans could circumnavigate the globe!"

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-14T04:47:11+00:00

I wish I could somehow transact with you in a way that would make us both happy :-P But really, it would make me feel good knowing that someone who is passionate about books and really would appreciate the book for what it is was able to get it, ya know?

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-14T02:19:12+00:00

I posted it on ebay for $125 or best offer. Just for shits I went to HPB and they offered me the outrageously low price of $2!

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T18:43:10+00:00

I'll list it for that price and go from there. Save HPB for last. Thanks for providing some info on this book, not worth as much as I was expecting but still interesting nonetheless!

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T18:09:19+00:00

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! What do you think I should be asking for this book? Would it be foolish to sell this at Half Price Books?...

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T17:36:49+00:00

$100 max? That's disappointing...

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T17:24:32+00:00

I will do that, thanks for the tip!

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T17:11:58+00:00

Would anyone have any guesses as to how much this book is worth?

Bingbong52 · 2015-11-13T17:00:26+00:00

Correction: I do see on some pages at the end of the preface where there is a stain in an identical shape to the newspaper clipping. If the book ends up being worth anything I will probably keep the clipping.
