| Getting Fired i've been fired from almost every job i ever had. it's always the same. you can feel it coming. the manager is usually a prick. the owner doesn't talk to anyone. you know it's not your fault. your just in another spot where you weren't supposed to be in the first place. they make the biggest production about it, as if they're taking everything from you. sometimes i just don't show up and they never call to see if something happened. they just forget about you and get a replacement. some pull the rug out from underneath you unexpectedly. those one's kill because that's usually the time when rent is due. some take the time to tell you you’re a good person but you just didn't work out. i've never been let down nicely or laid off with a package. i've never had a good job like that. those probably feel like breaking up with somebody. getting fired is what happens when you have something better in your life than just paying the rent. it means your supposed to be doing something else. i feel sorry for the people who just stick with it miserable. you spend more time with these folks than you do the people you care about. love what you do. paying your dues is something else. otherwise, it's the biggest fucking waste of time on the planet. |
