The Status of Aegohl (continued)

Hello again!
I've been really busy with work lately, so I haven't dropped by. I've already started purchasing computer parts and should be back sometime in July, all things going as they should (which would be a suprise, as you'll see).
Check this. At the end of May I get offered a job as a security guard with lots of overtime. I was really excited about the job because it meant a good income for standing around and smoking--and I do that anyhow!
My coworkers are cool and my boss is a dear and I have it made...
and then it gets bought out two weeks later!
The guy who buys it is this Jerry Sears guy. He renames the company Jerry Good. The old company makes us return our shirt patches to get our last check, and Jerry doesn't have patches yet, so we're doing security semi-illegally.
Jerry hires a bunch of people to replace the people who didn't want to work for another company. Half of the people he hires don't show up, and the other half are getting all the hours--after I trained them!!!
I'm already applying for new jobs when I get a call from the mother company that I worked for before all this mess. "We've just found out that Jerry Sears doesn't have a security license, and, in fact, doesn't even have a business license."
This would normally mean that I'm out of a job, and with no expectation of getting paid for the sixty hours I put in with Jerry Good, but the mother company called up all the businesses that Jerry was contracted with and had them hold onto their checks, they tore up their contracts and called the cops, and demanded Jerry to relinquish any income so they can pay us.
As for the gentlemen and ladies that got suckered in by Jerry Sears... well, they aren't so lucky. The mother company is only entitled to pay the people they hired afterall. However, most of the people he hired were people who knew him some way or another, so I'm sure he'll get a good beating.
Meanwhile, the mother company sold us off to a second company now--this one legitimate.
and that's all my recent news, really.
Love you guys,
Mitch
