Weird and strange and neato burrito

Ok, here's the story. A bunch of ya'll know that i was working at this communications place called Quasar for $8.67/hour (cdn) and i wasn't happy with that wage. So one day the local GM Dealer called me and gave me an interview, i was offered the job and i would get $10/hour. So i accepted. When i told my boss at Quasar the next day, he was like 'oh, well i can give you $10.40/hour so go home and think about it after work'. That was yesterday, so today i went to work at Quasar again to finish off the week and i told my boss that i'm going to GM, he got really pissed off and sent me home. SO now i have a long weekend..weird eh? Sorry, 'm bored and i have the day offf so ya

I still think you made the right choice switching jobs. Like I said before, who wants to climb towers in below 0 weather?
