I'm throwing in with everyone else regarding the job. It does sound sketchy and if there are rumors that this guy is sketchy it may make working there really hard or uncomfortable. Especially if you have to deal with his sketchiness on a regular basis.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm not feeling all that great about it myself.
OTOH, I am in a decent position to be a bit picky. We aren't going to be evicted and we aren't going to starve if I don't take this job. I mean, even my dad, Mr Take-What-Ever-They-Offer-You usually is saying, "Oh HELLS no."

Specially especially since shadiness sometimes=late pay (or no pay).

As a matter of perspective, Aims - when large multi-national took over my company and their healthcare plan was pricier than ours, they also gave us salary bumps to cover the difference. I know that's a really extreme example of corporate decency, but just, y'know, your guy doesn't sound decent.
I know that right now you don't want to press your luck too hard, but this one just sounds like a road to future frustration and unpleasantness.
Avoid the shade! Go sunlight! Choose sunlight!

Aimee, I don't like the sound of that company at all.
I can't see the pretty Nora picture.

I made the "immaculate conception" joke and the nurse made some remark about knowing Jesus was coming if I peed and it came out positive. I said "yeah, I guess you don't want Jesus to end up damaged and in special ed"
Bwah!!
Out of curiousity, askye, did they take your word for it? Before my carpal tunnel surgery they refused to take my word that "I['d] had a period way more recently than I['d] had sex." Do people really lie about NGA status that often?

No one tick her off! Don't want to see an inner demon with smiting powers!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes. Even my lesbian friends always have to take pregnancy tests for those types of things even when they explain sex with women only thing.

They made me sign a paper saying something to the effect that I had refused/denied to take a pregnancy test and I wouldn't hold the surgery center responsible if it turned out I was pregnant and there was damage done. At least I think that's what it said.
You have to have someone stay with you and I had Mom back there waiting until I was wheeled back, I guess maybe if there was a young woman iwth a parent and didn't want to admit she had sex she might lie.
