RE: Nerd By Northwest #281 – “Beer + Guys + Boredom, Equals…”

Oh we should talk I got a job fishing and a really nice $5,000 check to get here and flight to the job site.

I just barely gotten hired and hopped on the bus and ran back to my parents' house where my childhood mentor was hanging out with my family drinking whiskey.

My mentor wasn't very excited and asked to see the check.

He just read who it was from.
He dropped the check on the table and picked up his phone.

Scroll through it and found the company number to the president.

And then he calls my boss.

Chews him up one side and down the other on speakerphone. Threatens to go up there and publicly throw him a beating. At the Town bar. Which is also the police station and mayor's office....

My boss starts apologizing and gives assurance is that he will never recruit in Portland Oregon ever again. He also says that I'm allowed to keep the check and cash it. As a measure of his Goodwill I have been let go however I now have a $5,000 severance package....

My stepdad was extremely upset at this turn of events.

My mentor then explained that there's been multiple deaths in this company as well as regular amputations disfigurement and as well horrible events that happen there. And of course I was also hired on with my mentor for the next couple months until I was able to secure a different job because the economy was really bad.

My mentor is legendary figure and all throughout the American West quite a few individuals know him.

All depends on who the owner of the company is... And how much they have had to drink. Lmafo!
