Could my day get any worse? Might get fired as well.

Last night, GF got mad at me for not caring. She had leg cramp and I've told her many times to stretch her leg against the cramped direction. She refuse to do it and ask me to do it for her, this happened while I was brushing my teeth. So i came running out holding my toothbrush and held her leg for her. I was pissed for some odd reason cause she insisted not holding it herself. Please note, I was dipping with toothpaste all over and holding her leg at this time. I then said she should've held it and said what if I wasn't here? what would you have done? then she got all pissed and say I was not caring :|, Ahhh crap! One of those days I guess, she refuse to talk to me eversince. :(

This morning, I received a call from a contractor concerning an error in our bid estimate. They might back charge us for the error. The Amount is roughly $15,000 dollars! :Q Boss calls me in and said I'm not happy with you not catching this sort of things.

I was assigned to work on the project with a senior engineer, this person has over 10 years of expereiences. As for me? I have zero experience in this type of project. Much of the coordination was done between my supervisor and our client which I have little knowledge of but was expected to know it all. I was only informed when things got changed. Guess I missed one of those changes and it had came back to bite me on the A$$. :( The senior who worked with me had little knowledge of the project other than small design issues. I'm suppose to cover the grounds but did not performed.

I'm sure when corp. office finds out, everyone will point their fingers at me. I'm not blaming anyone other than myself for these mistakes but wishes someone would have reviewed my stuffs prior to sending them out. Many times, I have come to a dead end with no one else to turn to, I'm not learning nor gaining anything from this place. :( I've only worked here for 1 year and soon to be kicked to the curb. Isnt that great?.

Thanks for reading.

Umm, I bet your GF had other plans besides stretching her legs for her, you should have let that one run its course heh, as for your boss, and only going on your side of things, he is probably just p!ssy that he didn't catch it, and is going into personal damage control, if he convinces everyone that it was your (not his) fault, he has job security :) Sometimes sh*t just happens, but things always work out, so good luck and let us know how it turns out :)

No offense, man, but it seems like your GF is sort of bitchy. I fear such women.

Yep. As they say, sh!t rolls downhill. Sorry to hear about that. I've been having a Grade-A crap week at work myself. :(

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I've been laid off from my job because they don't need as many AC designers. So, I'm gonna take a year off and do nothing, then I'm headed up to Purdue next fall to pursue a career in Education, most likely get my PhD in History. Quite a change from engineering, huh? Now I have to sell my Supra to obtain money to live on, my Grandfather died last week, my dad is in critical condition in the hospital afte being hit by a car while he was on his motorcycle, and my best friend was just diagnosed with testicular cancer. So, your day isn't the worst out there, that should make you feel a little better. Lunch today was not a good time for me.

Didn't we already respond to a YAGT from you telling you to get out of that relationship?

I think your girlfriend was trying to see if you would turn romantic on her while stretching her leg... Do something romantic for her and you'll be fine.

And since I'm not in your line of work so I can't offer any knowledgeable advice. Except sometimes supervisors like it when employees are more assertive in their work. Like instead of hearing about the changes from someone else, you should of been asking around or bumping your head in to find out the situation.

Ok. boss aint talking to me. She demanded things to be done right the first time and we shouldn't make anymore mistakes. :( At the end of this month, I'll have my year-end evaluation and I dont see any good things coming. Man am I screwed or what. Time to start packing? At at this economy, I'll be lucky to get hired at In N out burgers.

is this the same girl you lent like 20K to so her bro or someone could stay in the country. What ever happened to that?


and you should have a talk with your boss, maybe you can quit instead of being fired and your boss will give you a good recommendation when they call for references.
