Donny, you gonna let him get away with that? You gonna let this fucking punk get away with that? What's the matter? What's the world coming to?

There are local salt mines?

Been through it a couple of times. Sucks, but there's a decent chance you'll wind up in a better situation anyway.

Don, I am curious, it sounds like you knew it was coming. There must be more of a back story. Please share, if you don't mind.

We were one of the first bands to go on, and the 'headliner' was a fairly well known cover band, I guess. I had never heard of them, but they had a pretty decent following.

No, I was not stealing boxes. But yes, I got fired on a couple of Friday's ago when I had taken a PTO day. I was the 2nd shift manager at the local salt mine. Had just gotten a raise two months earlier. My #2 on the shift staging a mutiny because he wanted my job and promotion.(a position he had been previously passed over for)

I had asked the general manager the day before my termination if my job was in jeopardy. He directly said, "No, I would of come to you first." So he was gone for the day on that Thursday afternoon and Friday morning he texted me, "Sorry to bother you on your day off. Please call me when you have a moment." I knew at that moment I was a goner.

So I made the call, he said my position has been eliminated and when asked, there is no other role for me in the company. Ouch babe. It was awesome to go to the charity golf tournament at McHenry Golf Club(why I took the day off work), meet my girlfriends extended family and tell them when asked what do I do, that I just got fired form my job before heading up there.

I shot about a 150 if not for the best ball format. Joined up with the group in front of us on 17th hole, managed to hit the tee out from under the ball and have the ball drop straight to the ground. It was even bett that about 15 people saw me do it. Was able to redeem myself by nearly hitting hole in one on the 170 yard 18th hole. The tee shot on 18 got a rise, "oohs and ahhs" from the crowd that just saw me whiff the tee shot on the hole before. Missed the hole by about a foot, which would of been $500 since the ace would of counted as a skin. And of course my group all missed the easy birdie to finish the round.

Filed for unemployment and have started asking around for leads and shaking down the people I know for cash. Have some things lined up and my friends told me to enjoy the summer and come back to being a day person again. Had to share with the crowd, maybe now I'll be posting at some other time than 3am. Also be able to resume my multing career. Hard to troll when you have to wait 10 hours for a response. So yeah, that happened.

Did you have to use the bat in your golf bag ?

No, not that day. It probably would have been better than my wedge shot. I'll have to look into using it next time.

Always look on the bright side of life...

More time to do some prep work for some more awesome LIVE COVERAGE

I find this totally fascinating - how many miles is that?

It really goes from Illinois to Detroit?

Sorry, Don

I have no doubt you'll find something better. Good luck. (You dont need it)
