Day 19: Fired!

Well, this was certainly a surprise. I knew the business at which I worked was having some cash flow problems but not to the point where I would get fired on a Thursday morning. I came to work like usual, had my breakfast, started getting down to the business of looking as busy as possible and then, bam! Jimmy (the company owner and an older gentleman despite his name) came in and gave me my walking papers. I was shocked, floored. I had no idea. I was very polite, of course. When I spoke with Kirby, we both almost started tearing up.

This comes at a bad-ish time. I guess there is never a great time to get fired but...I haven't gotten a start date from my new company. On top of that, I have about $2000 saved up (I was saving it for a car) but I might have to use it now to pay my bills for the next few months. I have no idea when my new job is going to come through, which is going to make getting a job in the meantime very, very tricky.

Temp agencies in this town want to place you to be hired, not to actually work as a temp temp. But since I don't know how long I need a job for...things could get tricky. Oh, so the reason I was fired was not because I sit at work and write blog posts all day. It was actually because the cash flow problem is so bad that something had to go and I was the next least essential piece of the puzzle. Here's to being superfluous.

Food since last time: I made an oven pizza last night and ate half of it. I drank DP with it. This morning, I had my SEC biscuit and 3 mini-crullers with a DP. For lunch I just had a leftover slice of that pizza and a glass of DP.

Pop Culture: I watched an old Simpsons last night (King-Sized Homer) and the Sarah Silverman special called Speck of Dust.
