Today started out great.
The weather was excellent.
I got a haricut that I actually like.
Over all, a good start to the day.
Then there's the part where I got myself fired.
You know how I seem to be online all the time during the day and posting whatever comes to mind? You know how there are hentai pictures on this site and no shortage of swearing... not to mention the graphics at the top of the page?
Well... it turns out that I overstepped the boundaries of what my company would stand for. I was fired for the abuse of company resources.
It sucks because I knew the limits and still went over them.
Some part of me was expecting a warning first even though I saw someone else fired a few months ago for similar activity.
To drag the day even further into the shitter, my daughter is WAY sick with some sort of viral chest infection.
I can think of all sorts of ways that today could be worse but this is as low as I can ever remember being.
I'm gonna go heap some more self abuse on my head now...
Tomorrow starts the job hunt.

I heard about your horrible day and I hope it gets better. I hope you get a good paying job and I hope you like it. Don't worry too much about your daughter, just go to a doctor and the doctor might give her some antiobiotics which help treat viral/bacterial infections. My sister had the same thing and she took the antiobiotics and she got better ^^. I hope your daughter gets better. I hope you get a good job. ^_^

Wow, I got into college today.
If it makes you feel any better, the job that I applied for recently is at Hollywood Video.
I dunno,

I can't believe that you were fired over something so trivial. Well, hopefully the job hunt goes well and you find something even better.

Dang Z. I hope you get back on your feet soon. I went about 7 months before I found FedEx. Thank God too, cuz I was running on fumes in my bank account. I think when I found them I had about 11 dollars in there.
I hope your little girl feels better too. Does she have Bronchitus? That stuff SUX! BTW Thanks for your helping me with IR. I took an old Av I made a long time ago and here it is now! You should teach lessons for money on that stuff.
Do you make money off of your photos? Maybe you could work for some commercial place? What was your job anyways? Well I'm starting to ramble so I'll end with this. I hope you get better bro.

People will get the wrong idea if they see a sexy images on a computer like let's say your mom comes to your and see's an image on the website your on it has Faye or Chi they looking dam sexy , your mom would think your looking on hentai/porno sites eventhough your not.
As for losing a job yeah it's hard I've been fired before but it doesn't mean it's the end of the world there's plenty of other jobs out their for you to find. Hope your daughter gets better.

Thanks for the support guys.
As for the hentai, this part is my fault for looking at some of Peter's reviews while I was working. It was the text of the reviews as much as any picture on the site that qualified as "explicit material" to my management. There is no denying that it is explicit and that I should have known better.
I guess that's the worst part, knowing that I knew better. I knew the company policies and I just kept on surfing.
Katina seems a little better this morning. I'm taking her in for chest X-rays in an hour so they can get a better look at what's wrong.
I already have a few solid leads on jobs. They wont pay as much as the one I was fired from but we should be able to make them work.
Given my degree in photography, the thought of starting my own business has crossed my mind. I just don't do well with the uncertainty of knowing when my next paycheck will be. Several of my close friends that I've known for a long time all say that I should be working on the photography thing too.
Anybody who wants to pay for custom animated avatars?

Peter,
You are in no way responsible for my firing.
The only person I can blame for this is myself.
I knew what to expect when I clicked on a link that said "hentai"
I knew better than to look at it while at work.
I appreciate your good wishes in my coming job hunt.
Which is what I should be doing now instead of checking the forum...

I respect that. At least you're accepting blame for it rather than thinking it someone elses fault like most people would be claiming.
You're not supposed to check any type of porn and stuff while at work, but I didn't know anything on this site really qualified. When I'm at work, I won't check out real porn sites or online gambling sites. It sucks that they fired you because of this site as there is nothing truly 'explicit' on here. It's gonna suck even more trying to find a new job as the market isn't so great rght now.
