Once upon a time around 18 years ago there was a Phynerk who worked for Firestone in Prescott. The Phynerk worked for a plant manager that we will call "the man" ( for reasons of internet security). Around fourteen years ago "the man" left Firestone for greener pastures. Ten years ago the Phynerk left Firestone for the sake of his sanity and began to work for a company in Texarkana. All was fine in our little story while the Phynerk served this company for ten faithful years. About two months ago, to the Phynerk's surprise there arrived a new secretary at his work who turned out to be "the man's" wife. She worked hard for about three weeks when she was fired. As was the case, she was never trained on the things she was expected to do and instead of management trying to equip her for the job, the easier thing to do was let her go. Then on September 12 the Phynerk went to work just like he did every other day, except this was going to prove to be a very different day. In fact at the end of that business day, he was fired. Yes, he was "told" a client had complained about a big configuration the Phynerk had done and that "nothing worked". This seemed very strange since over a month was spent with this client to assure that all was left to their approval. So, the Phynerk went home a broken man. You see, up until now he had not so much as had an overdue library book or spit on the sidewalk much less, get fired. The Phynerk got busy and hustled some wood working projects and, oh yeah, he started praying. Then, Katrina hit and about 15 of his loved ones had to come up to Hope to find some place to stay. During this time the Phynerk found himself eating each night at the evacuee feedings. On one particular night the Phynerk met "the man's" wife there. Seems her church was hosting the feeding and she was helping in the serving line. During the Phynerk and her talk she found out that the Phynerk had also been canned as she was recently. After the feeding she went home and told her husband, "the man" the news. The next day seems "the man" was in a meeting at a company there in the great city of Hope, AR. This company, by the way, the Phynerk had many times tried to get employment with no luck since they were not interested in his talents at the time. Anyway, seems like during the meeting that "the man" was in, the topic came up of the company needing to do something quick about getting an electrical engineer with automation experience hired soon. "The man" said, "give me 30 minutes". By that afternoon the Phynerk was called and offered a job there in his own town. He was offered a salary equal to the one at 'the other' place and he works for a young man that he used to have in his Sunday School class years ago at First Baptist Church. So, kids this is the end of our little story and the Phynerk's been happy ever after.
The end
Phynerk
