A new record for me. Though I've always thought I had a rather good track record as far as jobs go.

I was fired this morning when I arrived at work. No reason given, other than "it's just not working out." I don't know if that means I asked too many questions, or too few, or what. Melynda supposes it could be that they don't have enough money, despite the fact that they're a busy place. I don't know.

I cried in the car, and hated every moment of it. I liked this job, I felt so good about it, I was enjoying the work even with the dust. I wish I knew why, or I could shake this sick feeling. Damn it.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry.
Remember it's just one job, it's just one day, and it won't matter when you're running the world. Take care, sweet thang.

I'd start my drinking early, but it's only 10:30 here and I think even looking at a beer might make me feel worse. Sigh. Maybe I'll just go back to bed.

Speaking of running the world, we should start dividing up countries and such. I call the Czech Republic, and Russia!

Hehehe, it's all yours baby.
Trees are cool. For the record, my three favorite kinds of trees are pecan, linden and cypress.

And makes no sense.
Grrrrr.
At least it's some small fundage, and there will be more....

I know. It's the total lack of sense that makes me feel so upset about it, much like Sykii's experience with the yoga people. Damn it all.

I kind of wish I had stayed in Brno. At least there, if I got fired, I'd know it was because of my pitiful Czech.

I know! It's so weird. Just yesterday I was talking to the owner about her son, and his Latin classes, and how they want to send him to Italy for a semester to study Italian and such... I don't think it was a personality conflict with anyone.

We're sorry, but the people for whom you used to work have no sizable intelligence to begin with, else they'd have kept you on. I'm sure you'll land with both feet and and take off running.

Running right back to my comfy couch, that is. Cripes. I suppose I might have to buy some slacks after all.

Have any weekend plans?

I dunno, but I'm sick of it. It's certainly something more complex that 'it's all GWB's fault', but that works for me for now. Feh.

Man, that just sucks.

Hate it when they don't give a reason, lets you come up with all kinds of things in your head. Thanks. Sorry Hunny Bunny, wish i could do more, but for now i'll just shoot the store ugly looks whenever i drive by.

That'll show'em.

Hehe. It's such a pity it was something that I enjoyed. If it had been just another lame retail job with no soul, then perhaps I'd just be relieved.

Thanks for the offer of the evil eye. ;)

It's so just frustrating, because I put a lot of effort into the whole thing. Ugh. Back to job hunting, I suppose. Guess I'm going to have to buy some slacks after all.

Sigh. I miss Terence.

Terribly sorry to hear that but there are instances when people are let go because they are just too good for the job they've been hired to do, perhaps that was it.

I suppose. I don't understand this, especially after she asked me to help her with her correspondence with Czech suppliers, and gave me a bottle of wine, and everything. I suppose it could be because I don't know enough, but I only go to work there for a week.

that blows chunks. I'm sorry, honey. I believe Time Warner was hiring, you might check that out. I'm just hoping that I can hang on at Lucy's after the season ends.

Yeah, I suppose I'll have to print up a new batch of resumes. Damn it. I hoep they keep you, cause Lucy's seems like a neat place to work.

Chin up.

If it helps, having been fired for that same reason is always shit, even when it is the absolute truth.

Go RP. Make that Potter whelp beg for mercy!

I've never been fired before either so I can't really offer any advice or anekdoti.

Hugs and commiseration appreciated, however. Dekuju moc.

Ack! I'm so sorry. I just read this. You should have clocked someone over the head with a coffee pot!

It wasn't you. Just try not to dwell on it for too long - I know I had that problem. It's much better to try and find something else quickly.

Believe me, if there had been a coffee pot around... argh. Back to looking at the classified again. I'm thinking about applying again at Time Warner, just for free cable.
