Chula Vista

Nice! My story: The company I'd worked for for 11 years back east merged with another company in Arizona. The president offered to relocate me out there if I'd help them for a few months with their operations issues. He assured me that after a few months I'd get the first engineering job that came up (my stock and trade).

So I move and for about 4 months bust my ass doing OPS which included inspecting aluminum heat sinks outside in the brutal AZ heat. After 4months an engineering job opens up but I don't get it.

I fax the president a memo reminding him of our deal. He faxes it back with a note scrawled in the upper corner. Basically "stop complaining and do your job".

I got the biggest, fattest marker I could find and wrote F*CK YOU - I QUIT!!!!! and faxed it back to him.
