"Just when I think I'm out ..."

"... they pull me BACK IN!"

Okay, I'm feeling a little like Michael Corleone in the Godfather, Part III. (*) It's my last week at the company - my last friggin' week - and they're sending me back to Kentucky. Needless to say, we got issues.

The customer's all shades of pissed off at us. They've decided our support sucks. So, we decided it may not be such a good idea to send a new hire up there all by his lone self. So, I'm the backup. Or, as I like to think of it, the relief pitcher.

I told my boss I know how to solve the problem: I'll make a big scene up in KY, tell off their VP or something. Then, he can tell them he fired me, and that all their support issues have been my fault anyway.

He didn't go for it.


(*) One more cultural reference for you to look up, Manjote.
