Am I fired from my job? (Read details for entire story)?
I was stocking boxes in the "spirits" section of my liquor store, and one of the floor managers asked me if I had intentionally thrown down one of the empty boxes from the top of the ladder. I said that I did, and he said not to do it again because it's "unprofessional". I then asked him, "Why is it unprofessional?" and he stuttered for a while and couldn't come up with a legitimate reason, and then he finally said, "Because I don't like it, and that s not how we do things around here." and I replied, "Oh, so because you consider it unprofessional, you speak for everybody here. The customer wasn't anywhere near where I threw the box from and I didn't throw it AT him", then a customer intervened and told me, "He s your boss, so you have to listen to him" and I retorted, "Listen I have a teaching job that pays twice as much as this job. I m a graduate of UVA with a B.A. in English, and I keep this job for extra pocket money, so I can do as I please", and then the customer said, "Well f---ing quit then!" and stormed off, then another floor manager intervened and said that I had to calm down because I was yelling and causing a scene, and I said that the other manager was just trying to exercise his position of power over me because he s the floor manager and I m the merchandiser, and he said, "That's not it at all." and I said (see added details)

9 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment4 years agoDiarrhea for 3 days and intense pain my butt?
I had awful diarrhea from eating some food my mom brought home from this restaurant the other day.
It was terrible. I couldn't sleep reguarly for the past two days because the stools kept me up at night and I was going to the bathroom every 15 minutes.
This morning I had another diarrhea stool for the first time in a day, but the stomach pains aren't nearly as sharp, but instead of my anus is burning like crazy and I felt like passing out from the pain the last time I used the bathroom.
What's going on?? When will this nightmare end?
2 AnswersOther - Health6 years agoWill I be convicted of these Harassment charges?
I dated this girl who I really liked because of how strong I felt our relationship potential was. She started being evasive after a few dates and made excuses not to go out with me. Then I sent her a voicemail that came on too strongly and she texted me that she wasn't the girl for me and that she wouldn't reply to my texts or calls again.
So in December I called her over twenty times and sent her a ton of voicemails. She never picked up the phone to tell me to flat out tell me leave her alone and she never blocked my number. From that point I didn't call her for 3 weeks, but, long story short, I have to appear in court because she filed a temporary restraining order against me and the detective who heard her story filed a complaint with harassment charges.
Am I in a lot of trouble as far as the harassment charges go? I never had any bad intentions and never wanted to hurt her, I just wanted her to give me a second chance and she never told me straight up to stop.

Then later on that night she filed a restraining order. Hahaha this is so nuts
What do you think?

5 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoMeeting a Girl Unexpectedly Who Said To go our separate ways. Please Help?
I met her online. We went on 3 dates. She REALLY liked me at first and would always text me. We had a near perfect compatibility rating and it showed as we had great chemistry together. However, I suspect some other guy entered the fray and she liked him for more superficial reasons even though she's a really unsuperficial girl. Anyway, after our third date she would respond much less frequently to my texts and calls and made lame excuses not to go out.
So I sent her a few texts and voicemails that were too emotional including one where I asked her to be my girlfriend and then she said she didn't feel comfortable seeing me after that so I begged her for a last date which she agreed to and said she'd be happy to see me. The day before the date she texted me we should go our separate ways and that she is not the girl for me.
For the next couple of weeks I sent her shameless voicemail and text galore trying to patch things up but she never responded and she blocked me on Facebook when I tried to add her.
It's been 2 weeks since I tried to contact her, and, I wrote her a long 10 page long letter explaining my life story, my actions, and how I understand her like very few of the guys she's been going out with can. I'm planning to meet her and give her the letter as well as a few hundred dollars for the distress I caused her with those string of voicemails and texts I'm now embarrassed by.
Can you give me any advice about what to do? A spark was there so I know this can be salvaged if I make the right moves. :(
Should I wait??
