   Work really is something you do when you would rather be doing something else
My former boss is a big baby.

"What can I do for you?" I'd ask, but wait - he's on the phone and can't get something for me to do, I'll ask someone else.
"How about you? Is there something I can help you with?"
"No," they always say, "I've got it taken care of"
The office is cold and there's nothing to do, I'll spend about 15 minutes to say 'Hi' to my friends on MyOtaku. I try again to ask the boss if there's anything for me to do. He gives me an image to draw to scale with no dimensions. I know it wont be to scale (very close though), so I do it anyway.

An hour rolls past, I still have my otaku page open so I can listen to my music - I've finished the drawing and left it up for him to see. With nothing to do, I walk into the other room to watch my co-worker using a 3D modeling program. I love 3D modeling. I sit back and watch him work for a bit. Not five minutes later, I go back to my desk. My otaku page is up now. I'm putting it away when the boss walks into the room and says "Sam, it's not working out"

Here I am thinking 'this is a joke, right?' I look at his face and though he's seems to suppress a smile, he is undoubtedly serious. I keep my face rigid (but that's actually what I do when I'm scared - I tense up emotionally). I can't believe that this guy who once told my dad's boss over the phone that I was the right guy was now calling me a lazy bum with no excuses. I've had a pretty rough couple of weeks - worrying about the lack of anything to do. I could've handled any project he asked me to do in ample time. I couldn't get to sleep very easily last night either. Now I'm out of the best job I ever had and somehow I'M to blame for this change? I still think not. They asked for insurance forms to be filled out and now I'm uninsured - if they ever did turn in the papers. I'm unemployed and I'm definitely unhappy. I did good work for this guy and he paid me well for it, but this is the proverbial stab in the back. Consider something. Consider that your employees have lives too. Consider the possibility that he is trying to get your attention. Consider that he's smarter than he appears and more talented than you can imagine. Consider he needs your help.

This final paycheck better clear you bastard
