Well, it had to come

[gridlore]

I was fired by SuperShuttle yesterday. After seven years.

My god, what a relief to be out of there. The place had down so far downhill, and there is no end to the slope in sight. Bad management, bad decisions. This might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

The reason they gave me was poor attendance. Evidently, they wanted me to come in and puke all over the keyboard when I had the flu. My manager was quite apologetic when he sacked me, and I knew that they weren't going to try an replace me, this was another cost cutting measure. Screw them.

Now I can apply for new jobs with the ability to say "any day, any shift." That will help immensely. It was time for a change anyway.

Nod. Yes, that makes sense. How, if you don't mind me asking, will your illnesses affect other job prospects? I know in NY you have to be seizure free for a year before you can drive. Does the same apply in CA? What are your other options if driving is out?

I haven't had a seizure since August, which is when I started taking Trileptal. State law is no commercial driving for one year after the last seizure.

I'm looking at other areas, such as 911 dispatching and the like. They can't discriminate againt ssomeone with controlled epilepsy in those kinds of jobs.
