The day that time will soon forget…
When I went to bed last night, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something negative was right around the corner. I couldn’t sleep, and at 6AM, I looked at the clock and sighed. Restlessness is just plain annoying.
I finally did get to sleep, and woke up around Noon. Purr Purr was cuddled up against me. The sun was shining through the blinds and it seemed like a beautiful start to the first week of Fall. What could possibly go wrong?
Nathan Exposed… gone.
I went to my computer and found out this site was gone without a trace, and had been replaced with a straight porn site. I got an e-mail from my friend James and he asked if I’d shut down my site. What a sad thought, to ever imagine leaving this place.
After some digging, I found out my domain name had expired. I didn’t know it, and I hadn’t renewed it. Usually there is some type of notice when a site is due for renewal, but I never received one. So now it was gone.
The thought of losing this place really made me sad. It’s so much more to me than just a site. It’s a place I go to say what’s on my mind, and share it with others.
I finally got it worked out and several hours later, it was live again.
The soulless ex-employer
Next was an e-mail from my ex-employer. When I quit, I left there on positive terms and they had hired me to do some freelance work this summer.
Well, when my Grandmother died last month, I wasn’t able to make a deadline for a project. I explained what was going on and why I wouldn’t be able to make his deadline, and he could care less. He didn’t even offer his condolences for my loss.
I told another employee about the incident and divulged that this person’s behavior had really hurt my feelings. It isn’t all business all the time, we are human beings afterall.
She said she’d talk to him and get it smoothed out. She assured me that he would apologize when he realized how he’d acted. Well, things didn’t go that way.
Today she e-mailed me and said they would no longer be using my services since I was hurt by the way he had acted. WHAT THE FUCK? How did I lose a client over the way HE acted?
Meanwhile, that jerk-off STILL didn’t apologize or even acknowledge his behavior after it had been brought to his attention.
When it all first happened, I could chalk it up to a misunderstanding. Maybe he didn’t realize he’d been that way.
But after she had told him about it, and he cut me off from providing the services, it was clear that he intentionally ignored the death in my family and as a result, I lost a freelance job because of it.
It doesn’t make sense for someone to be so cruel. I’ll never understand some people. What did I do wrong?
EXCUSE ME FOR TAKING TIME OFF FOR A FUNERAL!!!
Anyway, it’s all over and done with. I’ve said all this so that I can let go of it. Tomorrow’s a new day, and my precious blog is back where it belongs, so I can continue to “expose myself” here.
Did you like this article? If so, please share it.
You have to be kidding me! He wasn’t worth it in the first place…..we have to rid ourselves of those kinds of people, businesses, and experiences in our lives….quickly. (Easier said than done when $$$ are involved, I know.) I’m supposed to be resting my arms…so gotta run…but I couldn’t resist.
Nathan the idea of losing the work sucks but in the end I’m sure you’ll be better off. You don’t need or deserve to be treated that way. In the end do you really want to work with someone who has no soul?
I’m so glad that you got it back. I went to it a few days ago and saw that it went “spammy”.
Hurray!!! You’re back!
STRAIGHT Porn?!? That’s adding insult to injury.
Wow, that is messed up!
Karma is a bitch. He’ll get his
