The Ax Man Cometh
 
I got laid off today at work.

It happened about an hour ago.

I had a feeling it was coming.

Stupid f*cking writers.

I'm bummed but I'm also relieved in a way. 20 clients are a lot to take care of. There are a couple of winners that I am going to truly miss. Others... not so much.

My former boss: "If there's anything you need... feel free to use me as a reference... this is hard for me to do... [tears - that was a nice touch]..."


I'm okay, though.
I'm going to make some calls.
Something good is coming next. I can feel it.
:)

GAH! Well, it wasn't a surprise at least and, who knows, if the writers' strike ever gets resolved, maybe the company will come back to full strength soon. Meanwhile, you've got some great experience in your field of choice that will do you a lot of good. Hand in there.

I'm sorry to hear that, GC. I know you were doing a great job and that your talent was recognized - was it a "last in, first out" situation?

Blah. I don't know what else to say. Hang in there.

I guess that's it, mousepod. But I must admit, I couldn't give the best customer service spread so thin. I think it was a combination of both. I don't think my former boss knew how much I was doing.

Ugh GC. Sorry to hear it.

Bah. Bring on the next good thing! So who will be lucky enough to have you as an employee next? :)

CoasterMatt 01-28-2008 08:38 PM

I think GC should do something with bacon.

All Cricket's always land on their feet.

DreadPirateRoberts 01-28-2008 08:48 PM

I'm sorry.

Bummer.
