Well, something pretty huge has happened. I got fired! Yep, the scumbag lawyer I worked for hired a new person while I was on vacation and fired me the day I got back. It’s a long story, but the bottom line is that in the last few weeks, we lost our file clerk and I guess he wanted me to be able to do two people’s jobs myself and it just wasn’t possible. I was doing my very best but I was not able to keep up with it all. Then, I guess while I was gone some people told my boss some lies about me \"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125022577606795618\"\/ and the work I was doing and he got all worked up and decided that after 2 and half years of me working for him and about 4 years total with the firm, that rather than talk to me about his concerns or tell me he was unhappy with anything I was doing that he would go ahead and hire someone while I was gone and just fire me out of the blue. Honestly, the last time we sat down and talked about how my job was going was only a few weeks ago and he was so happy with me that he gave me a RAISE!! I mean, I know he was getting upset that I wasn’t getting all the work done, but I guess he thinks this new girl (who is working part time, while his SON works the rest) is going to be able to do it.<\/p>\n

It’s really a blessing in disguise because I hated my job there, I really wanted to be able to focus more on my design work and try and make it my REAL job and not just a hobby. So I’m sort of forced to leave the comfort of the firm and do other things. It’s just how horribly I was treated that makes it hard. It’s so weird. I’ve never been fired in my entire life. And it really is for nothing I did wrong. They showed me absolutely no courtesy. Which, just shocked me, since I’d been there for so long! It’s all just very surprising.<\/p>\n

So . . . I guess my life has just changed dramatically. I have lots of time to do my design work and all the other things in my life that have fallen through the cracks lately. I just have to get over the shock and the feelings that were hurt. You know? Anyway – that’s the amazingly shocking crazy thing that happened to me the day I got back from vacation. Can you believe it??<\/p>\n
