(still doing it even now)

    my good boss always rely on the person that runs the line.. and that line maintainer don't like me.. so, no matter what i do to make him impress, it's useless for him cause the b**** (runs the line) made up stories that will make me bad to my boss.. and my boss never listen to my explanations..

    sorry guys, i just wanna let it out.. and i want all the people here in SD will know what's been going on in my life.. you guys are a true friend..

    chad, thanks for the kind offer bud.. as of now.. i am good.. i am just doing some job hunting..

    thanks again guys!

    and for my lost TRIO.. OHHHHHHHHH MAN!

    guys, you will never believe me.. I KILLED MY TRIO!

    this is not because of the disease, I killed them..

    they greet me when i entered the room.. because of what happened at work i am not focus, though i am there physically, but mentally and emotionally, i am blank..

    i still did my daily routine, water changes water changes and water changes.. that will never change no matter what..

    anyways, so i cleaned my 55G contest fish tank, and moved to my other discus tank 110G everything is good.. until i am up to the last tank which is my beautiful TRIO..(while doing my daily routine, i was crying inside, and telling myself why my boss let go of me)

    what the heck am i thinking, i fill the tank straight from the tap 45 degrees celsius, instead of using the age water for the tank..

    i did a 75% wc of the tank and i fill it up all the way.. yeah guys, i burned them alive.. i know what you guys thinking.. and i am guilty..

    LESSONS LEARNED:
    please, whatever happens.. focus on what you are doing.. and if you feel like you are not in yourself, do it the next day or do it till when you are fully recovered.. that's what i learned from this issue..

    again guys, sorry for all of these.. and thanks for reading..

    Good luck with the job search and hopefuly you'll come across something a bit more permanent. They say that the job market is recovering, so that may be a good sign for you in trying to find work. My thoughts are with you.

    Best wishes!
    thanks for this chad.. i appreciated it.. for now, im on the computer all the time.. just keep searching.. the company that i have worked with is a little bias.. they are more hiring someone that they've known and not the person that can perform the job.. i thought that doesn't exist here in canada, cause that's what happen in philippines too.. i guess it does exist all over the world..

    Marvin,
    I'm very sorry to hear the bad news. I know you will bounce back soon, and I know it must be hard right now. Keep your head up, you have a great support system here on SD. You are doing a great job with the contest discus. Keep up the good work my friend. Brighter times are just ahead of you!

    Sorry to hear about your bad news Marvin. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and we just don't know why. I hope that you get a new pair out of the contest fish. With the economy improving you may get a better job where you are truly appreciated for all of your hard work. I know that its hard righr now but keep your chin up and remember that we're here for you.

    I know I am new here, but I just wanted to say man... I am really sorry about all of that. I killed my discus once almost exactly the same way you did... got distracted and did not pay attention to the water I was using... terrible.

    I hope everything works out for you on the job front... times are so tough right now... as has already been said, just keep your head up. I have always lived by trying not to stress over things you can no longer control.

    Take care!

    Ah dude, I'm so sorry about the accident. I know how it is when you lose focus. Try not to let it bum you out to much or things can fall like dominos. Trust me I know. Focus on the good things. Your family, health and your friends on SD.

    Take care bud.

    Keep your head up bro. They are the ones who are losing out on a hard worker. I quit a job i really enjoyed due to bad management. Their loss. As for you pair, accidents happen don't stress yourself out over it. Hope you get a pair or two from the challenge fish.

    Marvin, So sorry about the fish. Sorry about the job. You'll bounce back and end up with something better. There's no loyalty with companies anymore and with bosses either. Hoping you find something soon.

    Marvin, sorry too hear also about your misfortune. Things are starting to come around hopefully sooner then later, & even so never be down as industry always can be detrimental. Weather some like you & others don't it doesn't really matter as long as you have what they don't, a heart of gold! I really meen what I say, because I know exactly were your coming from. Keep up your head & keep on moving mate. Keep at'em, its never say never or I'll be back, your face can never be on a door enough for a job, I say!

    Regards
