What the.. ?
Today I got fired from my job. This is the first time in my life I have been fired from a job, I feel distinctly unwell.
So, I walk to work to find Charlotte the General Manageresque person in, I felt a little deflated but she was due to come in to check the shop and things.. But then she took me upstairs for a quiet word and gave me a weeks notice, I don't have to work it as I have a lot of holiday due and I then had to hand my key in, turn around and head home again.
Apparently they've been thinking about doing this for a while (nice of them to give me some kind of official warning - and she's somehow suprised that shock hit me and I burst into tears on her), I'm not enthusiastic enough about the job apparently (fair dues I'm not but I tried) and this is reflected in my sales (if people don't walk through the door I can't sell to them can I?!?) Oh yes, and the reason I was told today is that they've put an advert for my job in the paper, TODAY'S paper, I'm so glad I didn't do what I was planning on doing today which was heading into town early to pick up a copy of the paper before work.
I feel sick.
That's about all I can say right now, I'm still in shock. There may be more later.
