My 1/4 Life Crisis

So, all year I've been saying I'll do my portfolio and now it's almost March and I have nothing....I need to fix CAD drawings, create 3D renderings, and rebuild models while remaining sane. My number one phrase that everyone catches on to immediately is: "I'm freaking out!" & this phrase even followed me to Versailles when I exclaimed to all the French students that "Je suis freaking out!" From this day forward I plan to do what I set out all year to do; I am the #1 procrastinater of all time. Time to conceptualize!

Unjust Firing (this is long, but worth it!)

I haven't mentioned this yet, but huge ordeal before Christmas break. I worked at Jimmy John's last semester and was fired (unjustly) by my manager who had freaked out and attacked a homeless man in front of our store, 6th and Green St., while on the clock and wearing his uniform for all witnesses to see! Yes, I was fired...for insubordination, what?! I went out to the sidewalk to check on the man because a crowd had gathered around him and I realized his face was bleeding and I needed to decide if he required immediate medical attention, and apparently, my manager yelled at me to come inside but instead I came in to get something to write on to get the name and phone number of the man calling the police on my manager and the name of the victim because he felt bad and kept trying to leave. When I came in he screamed at me that I was to take off my apron, he was clocking me out, and that I was fired! He was in a fit of rage and not thinking rationally. I was standing there with blood on my uniform and crying because I was so upset and his response is to fire me! WTF?! True account: He had come into the store after being out front, for what reason I'm not sure, probably out looking at the girls walking on the sidewalk - he has a taste for the younger ones (he just turned 25 - he has a child, then got the 16 yr old babysitter pregnant and she is now 17 with a child who he tries to help support, but can't legally claim because he would be charged with statutory rape, yea I know, right?). It was a very cold, windy December evening and there is a nook in front of the store next door to Jimmy John's which is where I'm assuming the man was trying to stay out of the cold; I didn't see him loitering or scaring off customers. My manager came in freaking out, yelling profanities (thank god no one was in the store!), saying that the man had grabbed his face, yea ok, how was my manager up close enough to the guy for him to do that? The man was older and seemed kind of out of it, weak from being out in the cold so I'm thinking that my manager was all up in his face yelling at him. My manager started pacing the front of the store swearing and yelling that he was going to call the cops and then started saying how he was going to go out there and punch that Motherf*cker in the face! All I could think was o god, please no! He then ran out the door and started screaming at the guy on the sidewalk and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground and leaned over him screaming in his face. I ran out and started yelling at him to stop and realized that everyone on that block of Green St. and the intersection of 6th and Green, people standing outside Murphy's, and people in their cars had all stopped and looked in horror at the situation! Traffic on our side of the sidewalk stopped and people on their cell phones stopped their conversations to tell the person they were talking to about what was going on! My manager finally came inside and was freaking out and called the cops on the man. I started telling him what are you doing?! You know they're going to arrest you! You can't just run out and get a free punch in before you call the cops because you're mad at him! When he called the cops I went outside to check on the man and that is the whole "insubordination" part described above. I felt so bad, when the cops arrived they weren't sure what to do, but in the end they decided not to arrest my manager and focus on helping the man. I feel that if it was any other guy on the street and not a homeless man this whole situation would have been handled much differently. My favorite part was when a girl who had just walked out of Subway across the street ran over to check on him and ended up giving him the sandwich she had just bought, man I wish I had a picture of that! I also feel that if it was any other employee, not a manager, he would have been fired. What, is he immune to firing because he's a manager? Attacking a man in front of the store while on the clock and wearing your uniform?! Also, it was "premeditated," my manager said he was going out there to hit him. I talked to Jimmy John's Corporate Headquarters and I was told that "it would be best if we all moved on from this situation." For me, that means having a job! Well...I just went to unemployment this week and we'll be discussing the issue and see if there is anything I can do about the situation. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! This situation is unacceptable!!!!!
P.S. My manager and I had always gotten along so this was totally unexpected and I was scared because I know he has been in jail before and has done drugs (Purely speculation, but I wouldn't be suprised if someone told me he was on drugs that night. The first response everyone who I've told this story to is asking me if he was on something. I know he has a quick temper, but....)
