Embrace the change that is about to come into your life
That is what a fortune cookie said to me last week. I thought, yeah, I guess this move is a big change. I should embrace it.
Today I got fired.
Just as I feared, they are doing some reconstruction at work. Mike, Brittney and myself are gone. Shelly and Mark stay.
At first I thought it was a joke. Mike has played this on me before. Because I thought it was a joke, my mind wasn't angry. It was a very passive moment. Things seemed to run off of my shoulders. It brought up a lot of questions. Who knew? How long did Mike know and who else is being let go?
Brittney came in at 9 today. She walked past my door and said hi, but I didn't respond. I was busy cleaning out my desk. Meanwhile, this new Doug guy is hovering around my door. Playing security guard I guess. Ed is in his office with his door closed. I didn't see him all day. It was wise of him to stay hidden. When I heard them call Brittney into Mike's office and close the door, I knew that something bad was gonna happen. Brittney saw this coming. She gets these feelings that are eerily correct every time and this was no exception. She swung open Mike's door and I heard her come down the hall stomping. She flew into my office and slammed the door and ran into me crying like crazy while she hugged me. We were both pretty upset, though she showed it a lot more than I did. Doug came in a few minutes later and said that he can't have us both in the same office, though we could do whatever we wanted once we were out of the building. Brittney didn't move and Doug didn't bother to ask her again.
It took forever to clean out my desk. I erased my personal files from the computer. Histories, music, games, everything I could think of. I couldn't go through my email and delete that though. It is creepy to know that Doug will be doing my job at my desk with my email.
Shelly knew, but she couldn't tell anyone. It's Mark's birthday today and we were supposed to go out to eat at the Olive Garden and get him a DS. Nope. Fired. Don't even wait until the weekend. Let's do it on 4/20. DURP!
I don't know who's decision it was. They said it was a money issue. I asked why they didn't just cut my hours. They said there was more to the decision than that. Whatever. I got a check for $1800. I paid off my credit card and now I need to figure out what I am going to do with the rest.
Brittney and I will try to hang out before she leaves for Germany in September. The move is still on.
It is strange how everything worked out. I will be moving just in time. I am going to apply at Nintendo a lot for many different positions. I should have enough money to last for a little while. The IRS still needs to take $200 for taxes, so that doesn't really help.
Ah well, life goes on. I will find a way to capitalize on all of these events and turn everything into my favor. I always do.
