(But if he starts telling Matilda that she's cute, but unfortunately, she's made of meat, you might have need to worry.)
Yes, there was much discussion about the importance of sarcasm and meat.
I'm generally pretty low-key, keep to myself at work (if you can believe it). Just now I heard a couple of co-workers tossing a ball. I have a UCLA basketball on my shelf that my GF got for me. I grabbed it and went running into the hallway where co-workers were playing bouncing my b'ball. They about fell out they were laughing so hard. HA!
They misunderestimated you!
Totally legal, Cali being an at-will employment state at all. They could have just fired him for not wearing the right shirt or because someone was in a bad mood.

Well, that just ... sucks. Extra hard. Stupid fucktards.
{{Aimee}} I'm sorry. Even when it's crazy, it never makes you feel good to be fired. I hope Joe finds something fantastic soon.
that isn't why they let him go. they are lying. at-will is one of those things that is crazy making
ma~~~~
They fired him for "attendance reasons" because he stayed home to take care of Em and me for 3 days last week.
What the fuck?

All kinds of job~ma to Joe.

That is fucking ridiculous. Especially after what you said about his having a good history there. That makes no sense at all. You don't just FIRE someone for that.
Crap, crap, crap, Aimee and Joe. Much ~ma for finding a brilliant new job which is much better than that one.
What everyone else said. Utter, steaming, heartless horseshit. (Also, insert standard rant about our culture's nauseating lip-service to the all-important family coupled with its willingness to cheerfully dick over anyone who actually makes his or her family a priority.)
Joe deserves so much better. You all do. His ex-employers are a bunch of fuckbuckets.
I can't believe these heartless jackass companies. GF's dad's company has apparently "laid off" employees in the past who were out on disability for a long-term illness soon after they returned to work. If her dad is able to return to work, he doesn't want to for fear they'd can him and he and GF's mom would be out the money they are currently receiving. The man has cancer, fuckwads. Why should he have to worry about this trivial bullshit?
