Excellent News.
I got fired.
And, I'm being perfectly sincere: it's the best thing that could have happened. I'll explain later, but right now I'm dancing around, celebrating my newfound freedom.
I have May pole up in the living room. I know it's a bit late, and it turns out that it's particularly challenging for one person to dance around a May pole by herself, aided only by her husband—when he's awake.
But I'm managing just fine.

Well! Congrats again.
You got some paychecks in. That's always nice.
And now you're a free woman again.
That 9-5 has its good points.
And its bad.

They didn't deserve you!
Screw them all. And sleep 'til noon, if you please.
And I'm not just happy because maybe now we will get more of your attention.
And it's not the dance, either.
Although it is very nice.

I was fired about a year ago. THe job consisted of catching 50-pound bags of potting soil off of a conveyer belt and putting them onto a pallet. I could work at this for a bout a minute. The job spec was to be able to do it for three hours.
I hope they're not having trouble finding people.

I look forward to the whole story - getting fired can be extremely traumatic - it's happened to me twice in my life - but I know you will end up in a much better place!

Well, when I was in college--and just out of it--it happened a few times in waitressing gigs and service work, because 1) I'm a lousy waitress, at least for the lunch trade
; 2) I'm chronically depressed, and, pre-Prozac, my dark moods would eventually show, and 3) I just cannot kiss ass. Never could.
This is the first time I've lost a publishing job without it being due to a layoff, though. Of course, I was the only one in the office who knew a thing about publishing consumer magazines.
Since the enterprise will almost certainly fail within the year, I could just consider this a pre-layoff.
